I think he stays. Varane and Martinez can’t play every match we have until end of season. Especially with the two postponed fixtures needing to be crammed in.
Keep up with the news - Maguire's camp leaked that the poor little captain needs more help.I managed 4 seconds of this cnut. As he got any evidence to back the bold claims he opens with?
I find it funny this forum goes balls-to-the-wall protecting our spoilt primma donna players but abuse of fans, no matter how annoying or controversial, is somehow acceptable.This bloke isn't a source, he's barely even a person. Just an absolute sad little worm. The fact he's managed to survive so long doing whatever it is he claims to be, is embarrassing.
He might leave in the summer at the very worst case, it could be January though.I think he stays. Varane and Martinez can’t play every match we have until end of season. Especially with the two postponed fixtures needing to be crammed in.
Still its unheard of to sign a player on a 6+1 deal. We tried to flog AWB this summer but as per reports only got a loan offer & I think a PL club was offering 10mn quid for him. Our board OBVIOUSLY refused that. Cant take such a huge loss. If we keep him, his value is only going to diminish similar to Rojo, Bailly, Jones (if he ever had any value), Mata, etc., and then watch them leave on a free.I just assumed the standard 5(+1) deal, turned out he signed a 6(+1) one back in 2019. Which makes sense since we looked to him as a long term investment then.
People thinking we would fetch 40m+ for him is delusional, being Man Utd and overpaying, we got a 4 times CL winner at 28 year old for 35m, in what world is Maguire going for more than that, English tax and all, when he’s on huge wage himself?
What we really need is back up for Martinez. A left-footed CB. Lindelof can cover Varane.He'll be gone in the summer.
I'd put good money on us going back in for Timber and selling Maguire.
So pure speculation then? Right.Keep up with the news - Maguire's camp leaked that the poor little captain needs more help.

If a hypocrisy meter existed, it'd probably break measuring this kind of stuff.
And hence the reduced fees. You'd barely get a good championship CB for 30M these days.It will be difficult to shift them for those prices with the wages that they're on. They would be top earners at at any club outside of the top 6.
I really don't know why a large portion of this forum don't understand this.
Where am I defending Maguire? Nowhere, blokes a total cry baby surrounded by idiots clearly.Keep up with the news - Maguire's camp leaked that the poor little captain needs more help.

That was a joke mateI would 90% guess this is a joke but just in case. We played Liverpool and Arse without him and conceded as many goals as we did in 1 game against Brighton at home.
We played Arsenal you can't get much easier than that.
I think Lindelof is a busted flush and needs to go too. We just need to move on from the entire Ole-era group (minus Varane) and sign two new CBs that are more suited to the current era of football.They represent a CB group that the game has moved on from. Everyone plays a really high line now and so speed and assuredness on the ball are the attributes that matter the most these days at CB. My model for who we should be looking at these days at CB would be Eder Militao. Rapid but comfortable on the ball.What we really need is back up for Martinez. A left-footed CB. Lindelof can cover Varane.
I agree tabout that (you must have some evidence for those claims) but everything what he said is 100% truthI managed 4 seconds of this cnut. As he got any evidence to back the bold claims he opens with?
First it was Lindelof's fault because Harry needs partner which suits him. Then it was Varane's fault because Varane is finished. Then it was Shaw's fault because he is lazy bastard.Wonder if his fan club still think it's everyone else fault that poor Harry can't perform. I recall some trying to say no defender would look good with De Gea behind them but evidently they can.
If we were smart I think we'd get 40 million for him in January easily. Several clubs lower down the table would take him for that fee.
Agree with all of this.He’s 30 next summer, on big wage, has 1 (2 with option?) year left on his contract, not starting and can be by then in rotten form for the best part of 2 seasons, good luck flogging him for anything more than 30m, and even that is pushing it. 20-25m is more realistic, if we can even attract buyers, that is.
That’s nearly £100m down the drain if we manage to sell him and AWB at the commonly accepted price range, Ole continues to feck this club long after his tenure.
I think he stays. Varane and Martinez can’t play every match we have until end of season. Especially with the two postponed fixtures needing to be crammed in.
This is my concern. We have a player with 3 years left on his deal (4 years if we activate our clause) who's being paid £190k a week. I just don't see anyone investing the £40m in wages he'd want to take him off our hands for the next 4 years, let alone paying a decent fee on top.Nobody’s buying him and he’s not taking a wage cut. We have him till the end of his contract.
It's always a sign the player themself is the issue once we start the who's around him game.First it was Lindelof's fault because Harry needs partner which suits him. Then it was Varane's fault because Varane is finished. Then it was Shaw's fault because he is lazy bastard.
Then it was McFred's fault. And then ladt year's excuse was De Gea.
Rooney and Pogba have been actually good and have actually played at a high level. People should remember that Maguire is a player that had never played a continental club competition game before United, I'm talking about group stage. The reality of Maguire is that he was unproven when we signed him and has proved nothing since we signed him, it's insulting to Pogba and Rooney to bring them in the conversation.It's always a sign the player themself is the issue once we start the who's around him game.
We saw it with latter day Rooney, and we saw it with Pogba repeatedly.
True quality players make their quality shown irrespective of who is around them.
All sales final. No Returns.What’s Leicester’s refund policy like?
It's not borderline xenophobic; it's blatantly xenophobic. Considering that De Gea is among the very few left with the experience of winning the League at United and has had to deal with far more limited CBs in front of him over the years, you would expect a hell lot more respect. If anything, I say those comments expose both a xenophobic attitude and a very shitty attitude beyond tone deafness and mere stupidity. That kind of character is as nuclear toxic as it can get if you don't get rid of him ASAP.The spanish language thing is borderline xenophobic as it make no sense in any sane footballing discussion, i'd bet that De Gea has better english language skills than Harry. I've never felt comfortable with all the memes and jibes at Maguire as he was good for us until he got that injury before the Europa final and then miraculously appeared at the Euros (i think thats what really fecked him up as he never recoverd that form since). But for the club captain or a close associate to be coming out with this stuff at this time shows a lack of intelligence and tone deafness. I dont see any possible angle where this helps him unless he has something lined up for January and will try for force a move. ETH must be fuming and i can just imagine the thoughts of Bryan Robson who is around the club now.
These are only 'reduced fees' relative to what we (stupidly) paid. We got Varane for 35m. He's a multiple cl winner. Hardly a championship CB and similar age to Maguire.And hence the reduced fees. You'd barely get a good championship CB for 30M these days.
Van De Beek makes no appearance for 40 mil.Maguire has to be the worst signing we've ever made in our history if we take his transfer fee into account.
What's your point?Yeah, we must have played easier games when he was on the bench. Right?
They have 2 better CB’s. LB seemed like a weakness when I watched them, so maybe we’ll get lucky and they come for Shaw.To Newcastle for 40m£ please.
