United directors when West Ham agree to pay £30m for Maguire
It's the cost of being subpar.
Exactly. Clubs usually pay off the difference in salary in cases like this, it will also be likely for less than 10m.
The press will try to make it look like a much bigger issue than it really is, people should just ignore the noise.
So exactly what I said earlier in this thread then…
I think we as a society must have moved on from here. It is now widespread that you have to be more fair in your communication towards all social groups, but it is as if it is still okay to bully sportsmen. And I actually think Maguire was bullied in both the media and by fans. It went too far and was beyond ordinary fun from e.g. fans
It's a little old-fashioned to just conclude that it's up to Maguire to stick with it.
I would agree if it wasn't Maguire. He needs to feck off ASAP. Take what you can get. It would still be 20-25m salvaged. Why would we want him at our club when we got 3 replacements lined up that are way better and can be partially funded with his fee.
I cannot believe this... Thank you, West Ham. Thank you. I will go to the McTominay thread now.
This isn't over yet, now begin the extort the club for salary difference phase.
If West Ham's announcement doesn't feature this remix, they should be liquidated
Pay the man his money.
Let him rot on the bench if he asks for £10M. May as well keep him as the 5th choice CB if that is the case.
Didnt people think we needed to pay a part of his salary for a couple of years?
And do you care? Should any of us care?
More and More,
West Ham, we want more and more

That's what we're asking for

If we are paying him £10m West Ham would have gave us more in the transfer fee. Or in negotiations we have received £10m upfront. Eitherway it will be coming from West Ham. Not us.
United is potentially saving 40m£ by paying him 10 (placeholder numbers).
If the deal falls through, you lose the fee and you still have to pay him an estimated 10m£ a year with 2 years on the contract.
Recouping a quarter or so of the fee and offloading half his remaining wages is probably as good as it gets. It's not great business but less catastrophic than him being malcontent, running down his contract and not freeing up wage and squad space.
Would that help us?
Easy there John Malkovich
Either way, it’d be £10m that we won’t be getting. They pay us £30m and we give £10m to Maguire or they pay us £20m and they give the other £10m to Maguire. All the money Maguire gets is really from us. As it should be. We’re the ones who gave him a contract.
Not sure of the point of a comment like this. Do you think you're going to persuade me otherwise? More so if you throw in some angry cursing and continue to repeat the same tired spin we've heard so often? I don't know you, so with all respect, your opinion literally means nothing to me, and I only commented to support Bojan Djordic's comment as it's a reasonable one that often gets drowned out by the more hysterical takes on Pogba. Carry on believing your version; it matters not to me.
The delusions of grandeur West Ham fans have is remarkable. They really believe Maguire is beneath them.

Now I need to get Alexa to play the song.
It is a shame to see a GOAT tier defender sink so low.
Am I doing this right ? (see Ronaldo thread)

He's not gonna take the hint that he'll be nothing more than 4th-5th choice and will nix this deal thinking he can fight for 1st choice isn't he?
Southgate will select him for England regardless of if he starts for West Ham or rides the bench for us. He's proven that
Yeah who would see the sense in paying 10m to get 30m? I mean makes much more sense to pay 20m in wages over the next 2 years so he can warm the bench
I know 20m gained over 20m lost seems a no brainer.. oh wait it is but then a 40m swing nah mate there are principles at stake
It’s not just about football. Millions of pounds are involved too. Pretty clear he won’t take a huge paycut (if any) to move to West Ham.
Merely pointing out that in my opinion it's a ridiculous statement. You're entitled to agree with the poster and I'm more than happy to disagree.
I certainly will agree with my version, to think Maguire of all people is our best signed player is bat shit insanity.

Do we know what contract duration West Ham is offering ?
I agree that the abuse that Maguire (and other Man Utd players) suffered is uncalled for, and I agree that people should be fair in their critique. But that's not what I see on social media, and also not on TV, because what matters most to them is to get things viral and trending to draw in audiences. United has one of, if not the biggest fan base in the world, and him being United's captain meant that he was an easy target.
It should not be a fine line between holding Maguire to the standards of being a United captain and media abuse, but somehow we're just not there.
I didn't mean that Maguire should've had to stick with the abuse. Him managing the pressures could've been, but not limited to, working with the sports psychologists at the club, tuning out or quitting social media (where I see the worst abuse hurled at our players), and perhaps not giving a few of the interviews he did which ended up drawing in more scrutiny.
I sincerely wish him the best at West Ham.
Naa, that's not an option as he will do more harm than good. He has been literally appalling in the last 18 months or so.
Let him be someone else's meme for a change.
On the other hand there were so many good memories of him (gif worthy I mean)
Probably my two very favorites..
The second touch is a tackle:
or when he pulled down Shaw against Spurs:
do we care ?
Just as long as he signs the cnut.
Perhaps I wasn't clear in my original post, but it was made in response to how experts on TV went after Maguire for the slightest mistake, and I said that to highlight that fact that the media will always talk about United in some ways to get audience engagement.
I wouldn't care if he scored against us, but it might hurt a little if it was their winning goal. Still, I trust ten Hag's tactical ability in getting us the wins.
I'm curious. Also think it could be relevant to the whole "wage difference" discussion.
But no, I don't care a lot.
