Wouldn’t 20m for Maguire and 40m for Scott do wonders for us in a ffp sense?Depends all on how it is split and it makes sense of it is £30mil each.
I think us saying we value Maguire at £40mil is posturing. I think we need to clear just under £30mil in order for the FFP figure to basically be neutral.
Then McTominay is straight FFP profit.

If it's still there in 2 yrs and if they want him at that time. Better to get this and then go to Saudi if he wants to.Agree with this
Saudi money
Any bid from spurs and we should stick to £40m and add a levy tax on top of that for refusing to sell to us.I don’t see Maguire joining West Ham. Convinced Spurs will go for him when they finally sell Kane.
feck FFP lad.Wouldn’t 20m for Maguire and 40m for Scott do wonders for us in a ffp sense?
Difference is they’ll walk away and we still end up with average players.On one hand we shouldn’t be greedy and we should take it. The other hand let’s rip them off. Moyes wants the pair, they have £105m unspent. No other targets it seems. Let’s screw them like people screw us.
The fact we’re all terrified of West Ham pulling out if we counter offer is exactly why this bid should be accepted ASAP.Tbh I'm really torn between. On one hand I really want us to get more money. On the other hand I'm really worry what if they think we got too greedy ...

Yeah no one else will offer anything close to 30m for either of them. I’d take the 30m for Maguire maybe try and haggle 5m extra for Mctominay.Difference is they’ll walk away and we still end up with average players.
Alvarez is done mate, I've been told as much by the youth coach I speak to on occasion.And buy who exactly? As you can see, they are sitting on Rice money but not exactly finding it easy. Alvarez is still not done and season is starting in 4 days.
They just can't afford to get this wrong. Quite sure they will meet the price for atleast one of Maguire or Scott.
He's not gaffe prone if you play a deep line.Alvarez is done mate, I've been told as much by the youth coach I speak to on occasion.
I also think it's quite likely at least one of those will end up here, it's helpful for the homegrown if nothing else.
Plus whilst I question Maguire, I do think he'd be a solid signing and shore us up, and I we are lacking leadership figures as well at the moment, I can see why Moyes I'd appealed,even if I still think 30m is too high for the age and gaffe prone nature of Maguire, personally.
It’s a slight overstatement. He is better though.I'd say that's a massive, massive overstatement. McTominay in a midtable/bottom half team will shock you if you think that.
Maguire will be class for you. Suits Moyes football perfectly. Less convinced by Mctominay unless the idea is he plays ahead of a 6 with freedom to get into the box. He isn’t a 6 and shouldn’t be played there.Alvarez is done mate, I've been told as much by the youth coach I speak to on occasion.

Its an improvement. Remember bidding for Fellaini on deadline day?Seems like things are finally beginning to ramp up here. We're 4 days before the league starts and finally Dithering Dave putting in a bid. Ha!
It’s the player who holds the cards in that situation. He will be saying “I’m X per week out of pocket so unless you cover the difference I’m not moving”.I doubt this is true, but do they really expect Utd to pay half of his wages if he moves?

That’s exactly how it works for transfers when a player is moving down the ladder rather than up.I doubt this is true, but do they really expect Utd to pay half of his wages if he moves?

Yeah but say it’s 30m for Scott. That allows us to spend 150m on a player spread over 5 years.feck FFP lad.
It would get us in the conversation for Kane. Assuming we can also get an extra 30m or so from Fred, Donny and Bailly.
Tbf imo 100k a week is what we should have offered him back then. He was on like 45k a week at Leicester. To this day I still have no idea why the feck we offered him that contract.I doubt this is true, but do they really expect Utd to pay half of his wages if he moves?

You don't offer a dog anything between your fingers, especially over their head as they will jump and snap. Instead, hold it in the flat of your hand and offer it to them from underneath their nose.You’ve never feed a dog a treat and they’ve accidentally nipped your finger in the process? You must have encountered some very well mannered dogs. Anyway, You’re taking the biting the hand off part too literal. Don’t deep it that much, it’s just a saying.![]()
He was purchased for £80m, he was always going to get a big contract.Tbf imo 100k a week is what we should have offered him back then. He was on like 45k a week at Leicester. To this day I still have no idea why the feck we offered him that contract.

It would be huge.Yeah but say it’s 30m for Scott. That allows us to spend 150m on a player spread over 5 years.
That’s why it would be a huge advantage for us surely?
I don't get that logic either. Surely we bought him for 80m but do you think he would have said no if we offered him 100k a week?He was purchased for £80m, he was always going to get a big contract.
