I think Maguire will be moved to the right.Surely he'll play on the left hand side of defence. Which is Maguire's spot.

Hopefully all the way to a new club.I think Maguire will be moved to the right.
Maybe. I don't know though, I still don't think Ajax will sell him.I think Maguire will be moved to the right.
We will definitely sell him mate. We're already looking at replacements.Maybe. I don't know though, I still don't think Ajax will sell him.
We will probably do our usual thing of offering more addons to reach your valuationWe will definitely sell him mate. We're already looking at replacements.
Pay Torres is a much better option. It’s a shame we aren’t interested.Dutch coaches love a left-footed LCB. Ten Hag was even willing to try Telles there. So only a matter of time till we sign this guy.
no bc we don't have a left footed CB and we need oneIt’s abit of a luxury buy when we still have four centrebacks at the club, isn’t it?
I'd genuinely forgotten Lindelof for a moment. But you can't really count on Bailly and Jones, we've had years to understand that.It’s abit of a luxury buy when we still have four centrebacks at the club, isn’t it?
Apparently Ten Hag said he doesn't want Pau, but wants Lisandro.Pay Torres is a much better option. It’s a shame we aren’t interested.
It is clear to me that this is going to happen for a while. I actually thought it would happen from the minute United got involved, but after United bid €45m I was already convinced it was a matter of time. I did not think Ajax would stand firm like this though. As an Ajax fan I like that a lot and Ajax have every right to. However we're clearly getting to the end game now. Ajax 'conceding' that a deal can be discussed as long as the required fee is paid up and United now coming out they don't want to pay too much. These are nothing more than the last skirmishes before the agreement is eventually reached. In the end it will be something like 50m + 5/6 add ons. Then Ajax can say it stood firm and United can say we didn't offer much more than Ajax said it would require as a minimum (50m guaranteed).
There are few specialists in ETH team. Alvarez can play as CB as wellNot if he wanted both, he wouldn't. We're thin on personnel and cannot draft in pure specialists when there are so many holes to fill. I doubt it's a coincidence that Timber could also play multiple roles, which makes him doubly useful went unnoticed, either.
And him being primarily a CB doesn't have to mean right now rather than when the manager can pad out the squad as he desires.
It's the United way.It’s abit of a luxury buy when we still have four centrebacks at the club, isn’t it?
Primary to switch the play From left to rightDutch coaches love a left-footed LCB. Ten Hag was even willing to try Telles there. So only a matter of time till we sign this guy.
In some ways this is an understandable position, but when you get into the nuance of our centre back situation things start to unravel pretty quickly. It appears we have numbers but not any consistent quality or reliability. There is nobody I could hang my hat on and say "he is definitely having a good season."It’s abit of a luxury buy when we still have four centrebacks at the club, isn’t it?
Might have already been discussed on every single page of this thread.Is this chap really only 5'9" or is someone playing silly buggers on wiki?
I know Cannavaro was similarly teeny but he'd be the shortest CB in the Prem at that height I would imagine.
It’s been posted here numerous times quoting ETH as saying Martinez is not good enough to be a DMMaybe I’m reading too much into this but Ten Hagg said he’s looking to strengthen midfield and attack. We’ve been linked with Martinez, De Jong, Eriksen, Antony.
Does this suggest he sees Martinez as midfield, specifically a CDM?
He's going to be slightly under average for a DM.Is this chap really only 5'9" or is someone playing silly buggers on wiki?

Think he’s 5’9 and a quarter from memory. 6 foot in studs with an elevator heel.Is this chap really only 5'9" or is someone playing silly buggers on wiki?

He’s going to be playing 30 yards deeper than a DM too.He's going to be slightly under average for a DM.
Not when Bailly and jones are always injured, Lindelof and Varane are often injured, none of them left footed, only Maguire being a true ball playing CB and not being as good as Martinez at it. The build up would be hugely changed with him (and Frenkie). Bailly isnt a serious option with his fitness record and consistency, jones never plays, so we just have to sell them off and then go forwards with a group of 4 who is actually diverse enough and stay fit (and fit the manager!). Left footed CB a must among that group. Also their ages. Lindelof is our youngest CB, and he's about to turn 28 in a few days. We need a big makeover with our defender group the next few years.It’s abit of a luxury buy when we still have four centrebacks at the club, isn’t it?
That seems wildly pessimistic, I'm sure his positioning is better than that.He’s going to be playing 30 yards deeper than a DM too.
Is your username a Harry Potter reference by any chance?That seems wildly pessimistic, I'm sure his positioning is better than that.
Nope. No mention of his height on this page until I asked.Might have already been discussed on every single page of this thread.
Short arse DMs are the best DMs.He's going to be slightly under average for a DM.
I am intrigued to see him played there, look if it doesn't suit then time to get behind him being a relatively short CB albeit quality on the ball.Short arse DMs are the best DMs.
Short arse CBs in the Prem are rarer than rocking horse turds.
