Generally believe our fans turning him to a meme halved his worth.
Maguire | he stays!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
We should bid £5m for Bowen. Or £3m and add Soucek to the deal.
He has devolved to a meme but 20m is still an insulting bid
No one going to push hard for a player who doesn't want to leave.
Thankfully, it's been turned down.
Let's hope we aren't stupid enough to come back in for him again.

He would be your best defender. Don't go by the memes.
He'd probably suit West Ham
Doesn't help Southgate is so far up his arse he's basically first name on his team sheet, if he said to him if you don't play regularly I can't pick you I think it would help force his hand and make him move
Really want him gone. Another Ole mistake...

He can stay. With Onana behind , he would be much better this year.
He isn't a bad choice as a 4th option.

They were always gonna lowball us initially. We’ve made it clear as water that we don’t want him. We won’t get the 40m we want but we’ll get 30+. My guess is 32.5m
He has the turning circle and nimbleness of an oil tanker.
Why would a West Ham fan sign up to a Man Utd forum? Genuinely curious.
Said it weeks ago & think it’ll be the case still, Maguire will leave in the last minutes of the window. Some club will start badly & pony up for him.
He’d do great for a West Ham type team. But he will be going nowhere with piss taking bids like that.
He will elevate West Ham.
It’s a fantastic football forum welcoming to fans of all teams.
If he were at West ham and we bid £20m they'd be offended. Like that time we bid £30m for Fellaini and Baines
Seems offering peanuts for United players is fair game, but when we want to do the buying, other clubs think it's reasonable to demand ridiculously inflated fees. Years of piss poor management by Woodward has given us a poor reputation. Hopefully we can turn it around and clubs will soon stop this piss taking

Because I find it interesting to read the views of other club's supporters. I've been here for over 18 months.
For some balance, I (and quite a few like me) think McTominay is a better player than most on here seem to give him credit for. I'd quite happily see West Ham part with good money for him.
I'm not criticising, I'm just interested. I understand fans of rival clubs joining I suppose, but just wouldn't get the appeal if I was in your shoes.
Kind of did that to himself didn't he? It wasn't the fans on the pitch getting rinsed and tackling their own team mates then scoring a goal against Albania and cupping their ears.
They won’t push again if the player isn’t completely sold on the move. It sounds like Maguire is more than happy to stay
He didn't get a payrise, he got paid his contracted amount but so has everyone else. He also won't be on in excess of £200k either.
No arguments from me, Cashapp or Venmo?
I think you’ve completely misunderstood my post. Atleast 30m not atleast at his level. Im essentially saying we’d struggle to find someone as good as him for 30m.
He’s a good player who’d be very good for West Ham and pretty much a sure thing, he’s definitely worth 30m to them.
It's been interesting to read views on Rice, and see the feeling towards Moyes.
Maguire, in my opinion, was always grossly overpriced at £80m, and he's now 30, probably super-rich from being on £10m a year - he's at the wrong end of every spectrum for West Ham. Age, wage, motivation - the lot.
Correct, he isn't. But not far off.
I'd take 30 tbh
Nah I'm not sure you could question his motivation. He'll wanna prove everyone United were wrong to get rid, and he will want to continue to feature for England. Honestly think he'd be a good signing for most sides across World football. If you can get him for 30mil or under I actually think that would be a great deal.
His book value is somewhere between £25 and £30 mill. Keeping him will cost the club approx £25 mill a year (deprecation + wages). If a club came close to his book value and covered his wages, we should be willing to take a small hit.
If we sign a replacement for £30-40 mill his yearly cost is likely half that. If we were able to sell Sancho too we would be able to bring in Kane for the saved cost.
West Ham will be back once they realise every other CB they're interested in will be valued over £30m because everyone knows they've got the money from selling Rice.
Tbh he’s 30, 4th choice and on mega high wages so I think £20m is pretty fair. McT I think is worth £35-40m and we are right to hold out for a good fee but Maguire is literally a peripheral figure now who’s just been ousted as Captain. I’d take what we can get

i think he'd be a very good signing for West Ham. But i'm hoping we keep him as back up because the CB market could look very interesting next summer with the likes of Ousmane Diomande and Antonio Silva potentially being on the market for the RCB slot.
I reckon they'd get him for 30M
Have we really turned down £20m for him. I'd almost given them that to take him away
If they raised their bid to 30M, United should take it and move on.
Problem with the bolded is
1. Anything under 27M actually negatively impacts FFP which will make it harder to close other deals
2. We will still need a 4th CB and if we sell Maguire low we won't have any budget to do that
3. We will perpetuate the image of United as a club that buys high and sells low and can be mugged off in transfers
anything between £25m and £30m with reachable addons we should accept the bid and move on
Caught between a "take what you can get" and a "Utd suck at selling" place.
27 million + add-ons ,making the overall fee 30 million.
