Ten Hag exodus continues. Great stuff.
Maguire | he stays!
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
I always said Paqueta would've been a good player for us, but holy feck that's a load of money for him. Hopefully they come back for McTominay too. 'Losing' Maguire AND McFred in one window? Makes me more excited than the signings we've done, and I love those too.
If he was delusional, he'd have stayed at United for what is likely to be a higher salary than West Ham will pay.
The nightmare is finally almost over.
Today is a good day.

Not believing this until it's signed, sealed and delivered. We will never be rid of him.
I know, they sell Rice for £100m and think they're over paying for Maguire...
Bravo.
You don't have to be negative all the time.
Well, West Ham haven’t spoken to him yet I don’t think. He still has to accept the move
Didn't have to use your AK
They wouldn't have bid if they didn't think they could get him. They've already spoken to his agent and agreed terms.
You genuinely think they won't have had any discussion?
I think he will reject the move. That's a fair opinion.
You think West Ham have wasted the last two weeks and countless hours making bids and discussing payment terms with United because they haven't checked if Maguire wants to move and will accept terms first?
He is 100% accepting this move, imo. His United career is over. If he hasn't already come to terms with that, he will do now that this bid has been accepted.
Fair opinion, maybe, but obviously stupid and negative, yep.
He believed he was going to "fight his way" back into the starting eleven. All this despite a left back being ahead of him in the pecking order.
It's obvious Ten Hag has had to clear things up for him.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's stupid and negative
Anyway, hope it gets done. Would be best for all involved.
So, who's going to be booed next ?
It’s not like FM where clubs agree a fee first then personal terms (at least based on when I last played FM back in 2010). It’s more like vice versa.
I don’t know what constitutes ‘tapping up’ these days but that seems to be what they all do seemingly, if players are getting spoken too first before the parent club does.

Footballers go to Greek islands all the time, let alone with their partner and family. Such a bizarre criticism.
They would get recognised literally everywhere in Europe. Are you seriously suggesting they can’t go and have a meal with their family on holiday?
Of course he didn't.
I'm suggesting that when you're a very famous footballer, you shouldn't go to a very popular tourist destination and hang out with the rest of the drunks. There's nothing wrong with going to Greece but if you're that famous you should pay to go to the places where the drunks aren't, otherwise you're going to end up getting yourself into trouble.
So West Ham will have Maguire as CB and McTominay plus Edson Alvarez from Ajax in midfield? Feck me. I would need bleach for my eyes after every match.
To make only a £50m loss on him is better than I thought. What does it look like in amortization terms?
I've been told Paqueta is sellable but it'd need to be an extraordinary bid. My guess is probably Rice levels given he has a very long contract still, is a decent age as well.
If he goes we will be all in for fofana, liked by both DM and TS but currently a little too costly still.
I think Moyes will promise him the captains armband, bit it never sits well with me doing that, the squad may not be too pleased when an outsider just gets top billing in terms of captain s right away
It's going to be very solid, set piece based football and probably highly ugly, but probably effective as well.
Our big problem is goals though imo.
I believe you, it's just that for an Ajaxsupporter that is the stuff of nightmares.
Hope he's able to resurrect his career at West Ham. Decent guy, and always treated behaved gracefully in the face of extreme criticism. Sadly not cut out for the level / style of football United want to be at.
I'm willing to take a friendly wager WHUM will push for EL places this season. Maguire will be very good in their system, as will JWP. Deep line defence, lots of set piece danger, target man up front, I always said Rice got so much protection in that team from how they played and I am interested to see how he does at a much more offensive team like Arsenal. Conversely I think JWP will be excellent for them if he goes, can run a midfield, has the obvious ability from set pieces and where he lacks the marauding runs and power that Rice had he is comfortably a better passer. I actually think Alvarez - JWP - Soucek will be hell to play against for us this season.
One of the best deals United have made this summer. Well done.
Pfft Maguire's ball playing, linking up with an Ajax midfielder? I'm expecting total football.
He will do well for them but I see him aging badly.
Thank feck the club found a buyer. Really surprised how much better at selling players the club has become

Sound will need to travel well to the med bay.
If i read this post right, remaining book value is £26.67 mill, so we’re making a profit accounting wise.
Can't wait for Maguire's knee slide in front of the Stretford End when he inevitably scores in West Ham's 1-0 win at OT this season.
Shouldn't the thread title be changed?
What are the odds on Maguire scoring on Onana from a corner?
