This has to be the most boring transfer "saga" in the history of the caf..
Honestly, do you feel as if we're being taken for a ride by Ed - again!
So @urbanspacefox - how do you think this transfer will play out? Cannot imagine the club will have much more patience, and will just issue a hands off notice. What do you reckon?

Football manager probably
It is because i said they don't do it on a regular basis. Which acknowledges that they have done it on occasion. Besides you are just coming off with this nonsense to discredit anything that doesn't fit in with your conspiracy theories. Mourinho said it in a press conference, it was filmed and the Star were quoting him verbatim.
It isn't, now stop spouting shite and get back on topic.
I really hope it's not dejavu like last year where we didn't get a defender in. But it feels very much like last season, the Ed effect.
Seems pretty easy to do with Otamendi complaining he doesnt play enough matches and wanting first team football.
Someone has to bid for him first
I've given up on this deal. It's obviously not happening. It's sad how long it takes for us doing a transfer.
We might just come back in January when Maguire's price has dropped as he won't be as motivated to still play in a small club when Manchester United is knocking on the door.
I'd guess that by next summer, he won't cost more than £50-£55 million. In my opinion, this is your last chance to get anything near the £75 million valuation.
sorry but how does that make any sense?
He signed a contract last year and it's not like Maguire can adjust his asking price
How far off previous transfer window saga threads is this one now?
It can happen if Maguire is unhappy and not motivated to give a 100% at Leicester, especially since they have the inept Brendan Rodgers in charge.
I think many football fans underestimate our club right now and overestimate how well the like of Leicester and Wolves will do. They will be far behind us next season.
Doesn't he just take Kompanys spot?
Love that Ed stayed at home to sort transfers...
Got this out of the way quick!
Got this out of the way quick!
About 800 pages less than Vidal etc probably
Starts tonight for Leicester
That should be that then.
Everyone looking forward to Smalling and Jones starting next season?
In the last 2 friendlies he had been playing 45 minutes as part of the "weaker/back up players line up", now having been bumped up to starting in the stronger XI, would suggest we are looking at him being here next season, no chance he would be playing if a deal was as close as suggested at the weekend.
A strongly presumtious post. A few reports say he's losing patience. Not sure where your timeline comes from too. It seems arbitrary, although I do agree we shouldn't leave it too late.
@urbanspacefox suggested it was.
Also you can't compare broad brush like that. Jones would command more wages than Mings, for starters.
Just need to wait for some quotes after the game, which will be the predictable shit we always hear about the “club having a valuation that hasn’t been met as of yet.”
He’s not going anywhere. I don’t think he’s motivated by money and still has at least another decade of his career left - and given United’s current situation they’re not exactly attractive at the minute. He can afford to wait.
Leicester’s stance has been strong and consistent throughout this window and last summer too - we don’t need to sell, we don’t need the money, we will not budge from our valuation and we will not be bullied.
And as Maguire is starting in our 3rd preseason friendly in a row rather than having his medical again, it seems to me that negotiations aren’t exactly going well for United.
Staying.
I can't believe you actually believe this, surely not?
If Harry was desperate to join you, do you not think he would have slapped in a transfer request by now?
Manchester United is a massive club steeped in history, success and trophies... no doubt.
In truth you are not as massive a draw success wise for a while now,so a reality check is needed, particularly as you're undergoing a massive rebuilding job under a relatively inexperienced and unproven manager
Re Harry not being motivated or trying his best, he's a consumate prrofessional who also loves playing for his Country so he'll do nothing to jeopardise that. Regarding paying less in January or next summer....try more!
There's a very little chance that Woodward, for all his failings, will enter the new season without a big centre back signing. He will get Maguire done, its just a matter of whether we pay closer to what Leicester wants or if he pushes and make it easier for us.
Glad he's getting his preseason in. Hope he gets at least an hour.
Why do you say that? Look what happened last season for example and also the season before when we didn't get Perisic.
Our position in football will always be better than Leicester's.
You lost your best player straight after winning the league, your club is an absolute minnow compared to Manchester United and Maguire would give everything to come here, only problem is he doesn't want to fully go against your team, considering how delicate your situation has been for a while.
Last season is the reason I'm saying it. He's not going to let us end yet another window without addressing it. The difference this year is that we've launched at least one formal bid that went public. You know he means business for a centre back this time.
when do prices ever go down in January unless the player is about to leave on a free? he has 4 years left, you can add another £10-20m if you try and buy in January
He's got his head stuck in the MRI machine.
Don't bank on it.
I think it's clear as crystal that he wants to join United and would jump at the chance given the opportunity. The only thing preventing that from happening is the stall in negotiations between the two club chairmen rather than the player being unwilling to leave.
There is still plenty of time remaining before deadline day arrives. It's just a matter of patience at this point in proceedings.
I forgot to put you on my "ignore" list, thanks for reminding me.
I've not seen any Leicester fan on here say anything derogatory about the size of your club,if Harry is that desperate to join why no transfer request?
Delicate situation? I would like to have some substantiated evidence to back this up please.
In fact I would go as far to say that your atempt at a massive rebuild,under a relatively inexperienced manager, is not exactly seeing a plethora of players knocking down the door to join you.

you really are pathetic, you try and give it out but someone answers back you cry about it, oh and you said you wouldn't be posting in this thread anymore
Lindelof and Tuanzebe, anyone?
I see some of you aren't taking heed of the thread title
