Harry Maguire (Out): Chelsea eyeing a shock swoop for Harry Maguire | Utd say not for sale

If we manage to ditch Harry and Scott before Monday, the protest will probably be called off, or will turn into a celebration parade.
 
I don’t want him starting, but I also think we’re not positioned to let him leave - especially to Chelsea, where he’d likely thrive.

you cant have an 80m depth CB. He must go.

It doesn't really matter that he was 80 million any more. That money has been and gone. It only matters if there is a good offer on the table. I wouldn't call a deal with Pulisic a good one. I doubt this even has legs.

That’s as lazy as lous an analysis as I’ve seen. Do you really think that he’s preferred by managers because he is slow? I don’t think you believe in that argumentation, it’s just lazy bullshit.

You think the only reason why he is captain is Ole’s initial choice? If he was clearly unfit to be captain, Ole, Carrick, Rangnik or Ten Hag would have changed it by now. They have had the chance to opt for De Gea, Bruno or Ronaldo for instance, but they have stuck with Maguire all four. If he’s not the obviously best leader of the squad, they must think he is one of them.

You're not reading it right.

I said he's the preferred option because he's fit.

And he's fit because he's slow.
The man doesn't strain. Od course he's fecking fit.
He's walking out there game after game.
He can't fecking sprint.

Yes. Ole was wrong.
Ralf was here, what, 6 months....not much wiggle room for changing captains...

And it appears as though Erik is doing something about this, don't you think.

That ends that argument.

Tabloid bait luring out the children in our fan base. Thinking we would sell the CB with the most minutes in pre season, whom Ten Hag has kept on as captain and who stayed on the pitch while Martinez was pulled of at half time v Brentford.

Evidence so far shows he’s Ten Hag’s first or second choice among seven options, like he was for Rangnik and Solskjær, like he is for Southgate and would have been for Mourinho. I’m not claiming he’s been marvelous, but everyone with a memory knows he was our best defender in 20/21. wanking over his mistakes like meme jerks is just childish.

Speaking of anyone with a memory, do you care to comment on his performances verisus Spurs [A], Southampton [H] & Bournemouth [H] where he cost us multiple goals in Project Restart. It’s always funny how people cherry pick the highlights with this guy but forget the many low lights, he’s crap & has been for a long time; acting as of being our best defender is some beacon.
 
Captain of Manchester and rock of England. Chelsea will do well to get him for 80 millions. Do it Boehly.

So was McTominay. It doesn’t take away from the fact they are both shit. A manager has to use what he has. Rumours of Maguire getting dropped is the best step any manager has taken in the last 3 years.

Shit shit shit shit. The word is bandied about like everyone on the forum was prime Ferdinand these days. Your post is shit compared to McTominay, who is one of Scotland’s better football players and one of the most persistent fighters in this team. Your post is not really fit to lace his boots.

I said the idea that Ten Hag would want to sell Maguire is ludicrous given that we have at the minum five CB’s below him currently in Ten Hag’s apparent pecking order, and that the poster who claimed he was our shittiest player last year was not thinking through his claim at all.
 
Feck it, if we sell Maguire (or give him away free to a good home), I'm building a Glazer statue outside OT.
 
We need bad/weak characters out of the dressing room and players in that want to play for this manager.

He has proven to be thoroughly unreliable and a poor captain. This would be great news.
 
He would probably be great for them. Either way, I would take this deal and leave as fast as I could.

Starting to think this is Maguires account or someone on WUM

You do realise in Scotland recent games, he isn't even a guranteed starter :wenger: :lol:
 
All due respect, not once have I heard of Sami Motbel all I can clearly see is that he's writing for the DM so an unheard journo and a dogshite paper. Not that hard to put two and two together...
 
Yeah this would be another idiotic move to sell our only CB that can stay fit. Probably nonsense.

That's on you, though. He's fairly reliable usually. And his name is Mokbel

It’s you who cherry pick. My claim is he had a shitty last season (albeit with some good games here and there), and a good pevious season (albeit with some bad games also). I take the good with the bad. I react to childish black/white posts who repeatedly cherry pick the bad and forget the rest, seemingly purposefully. Claiming stuff like he is our worst player, or we would improve more by selling him than by bringing Casemiro and De Jong in is ranting, Repeatedly ranting is child’s behaviour. Purposefully lying is poison to any discussion.

If you want to end your argument with the same silly analysis, so be it. I don’t think even you actually believe it.

Arguably. He may have the Lukaku effect instead.

We have enough CBs in our hands, so we're exactly short of selection either.
 
Even in those YouTube highlights which usually make anyone look amazing he looks like a slow, lumbering oaf.
 
Yeah right. Would be great to get a solid chunk of cash back, 30m or something. But we would then need another CB (or just keep Bailly).

One of Scotland's better footballers who can't actually get into their midfield?
McT is not United standard and never has been. What are you on about?

So you’re not going to acknowledge the games that pre-date your [black & white claim] he was our best defender for a season. . . You’ve literally done exactly what your rant is against, cherry picked his good season [though he started the season poorly as he usually does].

Taking the good with the bad isn’t some badge of martyrdom you can’t flaunt around a forum. Posters like you just want to be contrarian & it’s bloody nauseating.

Maybe I've missed it but I hang around in the tweets section quite often and don't ever recollect nothing from him.
 
Zero chance of this happening but I think he'd actually be a great signing for Chelsea. He works so much better in a back 3 where he can showcase his ability on the ball and step out from the back with the cover behind him.

Id like to see it happen for him and for us. It would mean keeping Bailly, who I think is much better suited to how ten hag wants us to play.
