30m is perfect
hmmm... not good.... They can't take from McTominay to fund Maguire... that's going to get rejected.Tweet

Agree with this£50m is a steal for me. They would be charging us triple that for the exact same players if it were the other way round.
Saudi moneyHe has to do the math, no? Right now he can still make 20m£ with us but then what's he getting as a free agent after 2 years of wilderness with us at the age of 32? Not much I'd imagine.
Whereas if he gets say 4 yr contract at West Ham at 150k/week, that's 30m£.
Exactly. Maguire IMO is worth 35-40 mil and McTominay is worth 40-45 million, at least. I would be looking for a combined fee of at least 75 million, rising to 85 million with some not so hard to achieve add ons.£50m is a steal for me.

Would be uncharacteristically good business, as long as it's upfront and not addons. Maybe a tiny bit on the cheap side overall, but let's call it a discount for helping us get rid.Tweet

I've never seen that happen, nor ever even heard of a dog biting the hand off a human being. What a happy dog does, when they're not trying to mate with you, is stand up on their back legs and put their muddy front paws on you.You ever seen a dog so eager to get a treat that it bites the hand of whoever’s feeding them in the process? Well it’s like that.
Supposedly tabled a combined bid of £50m+ so just shuffled the values around a bit, but essentially coming up well short. Definitely isn't going to fly, as we're expecting at least £35m-£40m for McTominay alone.I'd take it and run to be honest.
But considering they've upped their offer by £10m just like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the club push for a bit more.
West Ham are close to getting desperate aren't they?
What?Exactly. Maguire IMO is worth 35-40 mil and McTominay is worth 40-45 million, at least. I would be looking for a combined fee of at least 75 million, rising to 85 million with some not so hard to achieve add ons.

If McTominay, Fred and VdB leave, we’d need two midfielders. I’d like Lavia here.Would be uncharacteristically good business, as long as it's upfront and not addons. Maybe a tiny bit on the cheap side overall, but let's call it a discount for helping us get rid.
Take it and run, I say. Then get Todibo and Amrabat done. Good stuff. Clean.
50m is reasonable for Maguire and McTominay. We are where are and we have to prune the roster down and make room for Amrabat as a direct replacement for McTominay and whoever we have in the queue for Maguire. Do Fred as well (I like Fred a lot, but he's too inconsistent) and we're just about there, waiting to pounce for Kane once the calendar say September 1. It's my understanding that the transfer window closes the 11pm (BST) September 1 -- plenty of time to watch Levy grovel before us while publicly playing the masterful businessman his PR team have made him out to be.Tweet

I will have some of what you are smoking, mate. It is clearly some quality stuff!Exactly. Maguire IMO is worth 35-40 mil and McTominay is worth 40-45 million, at least. I would be looking for a combined fee of at least 75 million, rising to 85 million with some not so hard to achieve add ons.
Let's see.Good for you. That’s not getting us £40m for him
As i said earlier, Fellaini and Baines vibesTweet

It really isn't50m is reasonable for Maguire and McTominay.
Whats funny about it?If you need a good read/laugh the west ham forum is on fire atm someone posted this in a response of Maguire being 30 ............."If we were signing a 30 year old Rio, Stam or Vidic would we complain? Experience is especially important for defenders. Ferguson had guys like Blanc playing for him deep in their 30s"
£30 is more than reasonable. Get another £35 for McT we good to invest in 2 more players
If it is truly 30M then we should take it. I would be happy with 25M as long as we don't have to cover any of his salary.£30 is more than reasonable. Get another £35 for McT we good to invest in 2 more players
The part which compares Maguire to Rio,stam and vidic.Whats funny about it?

well the article states its north of 50m and it really is a good deal if its clean. At 50m is a net gain of 47m on the booksIt really isn't
Yeah, no chance of getting both for £50mSupposedly tabled a combined bid of £50m+ so just shuffled the values around a bit, but essentially coming up well short. Definitely isn't going to fly, as we're expecting at least £35m-£40m for McTominay alone.
Don't think the poster is directly comparing the quality of Maguire to Rio etc.The part which compares Maguire to Rio,stam and vidic.

Yeah I get it's due to the experience just made me laugh seeing their names included in that part sorry mate.Don't think the poster is directly comparing the quality of Maguire to Rio etc.
Think it's talking about a player with experience for club and country, being a solid investment, rather than a risk on some younger player with 'potential'
