I'm super happy Maguire is coming.yeh i kinda agree with this. I have always considered him slightly overrated. Good header of the ball and decent at bringing it out, but slow. Gets caught out often.
I'd have been all over Alderweireld for £25m if i was OGS
Soon to be captain Slabhead
Great thing is that he's PL proven and won't have a language barrier.
We can comfortably spend 150m on players a year. Question is if a top 5 league cb is worth half our years budget and answer is yes i think. Alternative is not sign a cb that is fairly clear
Not the biggest fan of Maguire but he would still represent improvement on our current set of Cb's but having said I do think he still has another level or two to go up so might end as very good signing.
Wait all summer and pay the asking price at the last moment. Classic Woodward. 
Love this signing! His head is so big I'm convinced we are all in it right now.
Hope he's the sort of player who can continue playing at a high level until his mid-30s.
3 of our back four are British which is great to see, and hopefully that translates to more cohesiveness on the pitch.
Hardly the only club who have paid over the odds for someone, especially in the PL.
Still no depth in midfield.
OK, done dealio, so which thread can we hop to next?
Going to be a good signing. Like with Wan Bissaka you just feel confident.
I can't wait for the set piece goals. Just need to get Fernandes to take them
Agreed. They're over paying but other than Lindelof United's CB options are fairly unreliable. A back four of AWB, Maguire, Lindelof and Shaw is decent.
Ok, solid work Ed. I can confirm that Kermit and his legion of muppets are smiling. But wrap up Bruno and dybala and there will be BBC news reports of spontaneous muppet combustion all across the globe.
The clock is ticking Sir Ed - dont let us down
Yep.
Whole thing is just mental.
Exactly this. This is purely a football's matter move from United's side and football finally being here a priority which is more than great.
YESSSSS!!!!
Hope he doesnt fail the medical after a dose of the shi8s earlier this week

AWB—Lindelof—Maguire—Shaw
That is reassuring

Good price for one of the best defenders in the league.
AWB - lindalof - maguire - Shaw
Is much more solid looking than we’ve had in years.

That's Done Dealio, if you please!

And miss the entire pre-season while he’s at it.
It really is pathetic stuff
Shit fee but very good player in a problem area. Happy to have him. Hopefully we can get the Dybala thing wrapped up and squeeze in a midfielder before the deadline.
Our transfer policy this summer (so far) seems to be the grand total of "British, PL proven, young(ish)". I mean I get that it's good to have a British core but it's still mental money. AWB's fee was mental too but he looks like he could actually turn into a really great player, Maguire though? I dunno, we supposedly have this vast array of scouts yet we instead go for the most obvious PL option who probably won't improve us that much.
But then again I guess the alternative is to trust our scouts to find this top CB from abroad and end up with another Rojo or Bailly, so maybe it is worth the fee for that alone.
Someone check on the foxes...
It'd be so nice if they all started for England in the near future. There's tough competition at fullback though.
Unless the only scout the club has is Mark Goldbridge it's an absolute shitshow.
With a game like Chelsea up first, we wait until a week before the season starts to add a starter at centre half and we do that so we can spend all summer haggling Leicester down to the low low price of £80m.
Well, I really really really hope the people at the club know what they are doing, despite the last six years providing overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
We have a solid starting 4 in defence now. Cock in hand!
Exactly. Our mattress sponsorship will cover 80m no probs.
Can't wait for that little reddit prick to start giving it the big one about calling this....
In an ideal world a good scouting team would be a bit better at unearthing hidden talents for less money, but easier said than done, especially when we need a fairly immediate solution. Even if he'll be nowhere near Vidic/Ferdinand level I suspect he'll be dependable at worst for us.
Meh
Well done Woody, wasted two summers and finally got a top CB by just paying whatever it is the other club wanted
Good signing though, happy with this. Hood profile of player i can get behind.

Not the biggest fan in the world.
However, De Gea, Shaw, Smalling, Jones, Lindelof, AWB, Young, Dalot and Maguire seem to be a very good mix of defenders on paper. Hope he adds a threat on corners!
