Maguire | he stays!

You think Nice or Bayern are completely unaware that we're selling Maguire?

He's 5th fecking choice here it doesnt make us one iota more desperate.

If they Jack the price up then we can veto the deal and keep Maguire, that’s what I believe the club is doing. While else would we be waiting to sell him?

All this Evans talk a player who was back up for us and got let go 8 years ago is all of a sudden good enough again to step in are we meant to be making progress or going backwards ? it's pure sentimentality he wasn't ever a first choice back then I thank him for his time at the club and being a decent squad player for us but no way should we be relying on him in tough games in the premiership or Europe if we get injuries.

No one said he'll step up, but as a 4th choice who's going to play cup and pointless games he should be enough. Lindelof and Martinez have excellent injury record and Varane is still around so I'm not sure why we should spent more money on another defender who's just going to warm the bench, and let's assume we want someone for this role, surely United can sign any low rank defender from relegation fodder or even Championship team to sit on the bench and give us the sense of "oh, we have a lot of options" nonsense.

But that's not the case is it varane doesn't play every week and Maguire sometimes comes on as sub and the occasional game so your saying a 35 year old Evans is good enough to come on and see out games we need a back up defender one injury like the one Martinez had and we are fecked.

Lindelof is good enough to come from the bench and see off games.

But if we have an injury we are relying on lindeloff playing with Martinez/varane or Shaw missing from left back it's a long season we are In champions league too and the bench needs to be solid aswell having a player leicester let go who is 35 and wasn't good enough for us 8 years ago and got skinned in preseason coming on or covering for us in games is a joke and a backwards step we should be getting todibo/pavard anyway so this will be pointless in the long run I hope.

That's more than enough.

And as I said, if you want a 5th option to warm the bench for the entire season just to feel assured about having options, United can sign a defender from Championship for that role.

That's what Evans is..?

Money. Worried that ETH has indicated that he's under consideration for Monday though.

ETH has indicated a lot of things before the transfer window and went on to do the complete opposite...

We'll get a replacement next week and he'll go.

We could also use Bailey as our 3rd choice RCB. He’s on payroll anyway. Then use the Maguire money on Amrabat or Frimpong.
 
Fecking hell

So Harry’s been made 5th choice CB, stripped of the captaincy and he also knows we’re accepting bids for him

No way he can continue here

I thought this could happen. This is his last mega contract. Go to West Ham and he has to make do with a mere 100k a week.

But when this one finishes, no one will offer him any contract, even Saudis. And he will never feature for England, unless Southgate will continue to call up a player without playing minutes

But this is also the time for him to get a half decent contract and the pay-off from United. He can sit on the bench here and collect his 190K for two years but he's very unlikely to get a 100K contract in two years time and I think he's being offered a rather lengthy contract at West Ham (4 years).
 
Ole signed him, gave him the captaincy and £190,000 per week ….why leave for less money?

Southgate brought him to the WC despite being more or less benched by Ten Hag since the Brentford game last August so wouldn't be surprised if kept picking him

I think ETH will be furious and discontinue selecting him for games (maybe opting for Evans if we don’t get a new one).

There’s a big difference between friendlies and qualifiers against minnows to actual tournament. As much as Southgate fancies ‘Arry and his forehead, going into the Euro with him warming his arse on the bench for an entire season will be very risky both from a sporting and PR point of view.

Maguire will move on, he already did, if reports are true.

It's been reported United agreed for a lost wage compensation package of 6m£.
Source of that last tweet a little dodgy so readers beware.
 
Always too good to be true.

He'll end up seeing out his contract with us, maybe even getting an extension knowing us.

Yeah I’m sure I read it as well. WHU agreed a wage of £120k pw, so we’re sort of compensating him for the £70k difference for the 2 years remaining - or whatever the exact negotiated amount was (£6m in your case).
 
He has to be going surely. He’s a fecking liability and we all know it.

Hopefully though there is no truth in this, but maybe we’ll hear more about it in the Sunday rags tomorrow morning.

Not signing a new DM and CB because McTominay, Donny and Maguire stay would be a right kick in the sack.
