If you look at the Sevilla player who made the block is at when Maguire receives the ball, he is basically in his field of vision. I don't understand why he simply didn't lift the ball up, did he think he would nutmeg his opponent or that he'd simply watch him pass it without movingSavage was absolutely desperate to absolve Maguire of any blame. Maybe De Gea should have known better given who he was passing to, but I refuse to accept that this isn't enough space for a supposed top class defender to receive a pass and not immediately panic and give it to an opponent:
Literally all he had to do was turn around and he takes three players out of the game. Not a doubt in my mind that Varane or Martinez are fine with that pass.
He will be of use to a side that relies heavily on set-pieces, still. Reckon we could rely on people willing to pay around £20m for that.
Seriously?
He'd make mistakes in a Sunday league.
He's an English international whose suited for a deep line defence. Thus there will be potential buyers. Unfortunately I can see them asking us to subsidize a big chunk of his salary.
Honestly?
There's homegrown quotas that need to be fulfilled and as said, Maguire is useful in a deep line defence were they defend with numbers. The only big issue is his salary which is at nearly 190k a week. The highest salary at the likes of Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham is that of 120k-150k. Brentford and Fulham pay even less. Then there's of course his giant ego. Would the guy who has nothing to prove play for West Ham?
Maintain the same sentiment? The guy is irredeemable...
All of them have better center backs in their under 18 team let alone first team players.
Even as a backup his match sharpness is even less.
I never wanted Maguire. In fact I was one of the few who preached caution at a time when almost everyone was so thrilled of United signing the new Stam or something similar. However he's not as shit as you portray him to be. Sure he is a football relic of a system that is slowly being phased away. However most clubs at the bottom half of the EPL table has no choice but to play such system
Well of course I want to get rid of him, I don't think anybody on this forum thinks otherwise. He simply is shite.
Maguire could have easily walked in ETH's office and asked him to find a new captain
when they rejected £60 million I was flabbergasted we offered so much and that they had the bulls to reject it. Reminds me of Newcastle rejecting the initial Carol bid
This or Moyes are our only real hope. Praying West Ham win Conference league and get into Europa, so they can afford to loan him or something.
He called for the pass from De Gea FFS. He's the worst captain I've ever seen play for United. Possibly the worst footballer too.
Because he is always a liability.
He is so slow and lacks awareness, so can only play in a deep defensive line or a counter attacking side. He cannot press or play for a team that dominates or tries to dominate possession. He is so limited as a player.
Right, I'm not saying he can play in any system or for any side, but reading this thread you'd think he's a league 2 player, and he's not. If wages were not an issue we'd have no problem finding a buyer.
He wont
De Gea shouldn't passing him there imo either way. And agree on everything else as I said the same in my post that you quoted.
