If that's true then I hope we punish his greed by marginalising him. Sit in the stands and train with the reserves for the remainder of your contract and miss out on the Euros.
Surely there is no way on gods green earth that a player like Laporte goes to the Hammers?!!WHU interested in Aymeric Laporte as part of the Paqueta deal.
Yes, let’s take a Sun article at face value as fact. That’s always the smart thing to do!!All those people acting as if he wasn’t being a cnut asking for a payoff.
Hes clearly asking for a payoff. Its been reported by various outlets before todayYes, let’s take a Sun article at face value as fact. That’s always the smart thing to do!!
All as reputable as Neil Custis?Hes clearly asking for a payoff. Its been reported by various outlets before today
Stranger things have happened.Surely there is no way on gods green earth that a player like Laporte goes to the Hammers?!!
This post is so 22/23. You’re living in the past, man. Quit living in the past!My captain, etc
Well within his right to ask it. Well within our right to put him train with U18 for the next two years if he maintains this demand.
Was stupid what ETH said for him and then having him on the bench. We should make to him clear that it is either West Ham or reserves.
Why would it be against the rules? You can make him train with whichever group you want. Even force him to train alone.Isn't this against the rules?
He clearly didn't deliver on the promise but he s had some good moments for us and other than being a donkey in Greece doesnt seem to cause trouble. I hope he won't hold the club hostage here but least favorite player at the club to me? Not by a long shot. We ve had some proper cnts and I dont consider Harry one of them.Least favourite player in my time supporting United.
Please don't lose sight of potential smear campaigns from both club and player PR, or, an opportunist throwing gasoline on the bonfire.
Not to mention this same Custis reported United had already paid 6m as Pay off to Maguire and he was leaving , how shameless and unprofessional these so called journalists are and how gullible some in our fan base are .Yep, could be true but no idea why people take Custis's reporting as fact.
I don't know about "standard practice" but it happens all the time, its just rarely reported. It may not be making the player entirely whole but some level of payoff is common in these situations.
Don't believe for a second that players like RVP and Alexis walked out of big United contracts to smaller deals with new clubs in Turkey and Italy without getting payoffs of some sort.
That's true but the wages Maguire is on are so vast that it's slightly different, he's never going to earn that anywhere else and he's got another two years of earning more than 200k a week on his contract.
The figure mentioned that Maguire wants is reportedly 6 million quid, that's about 60 per cent of what he would lose in earnings by going to West Ham apparently.
It’s standard practice to get some kind of compensation to meet the difference in pay. The key point here is that United are effectively breaking the contract by choosing to sell him.
It is fairly standard for a player to be compensated for the remaining time on their contract. Possibly not in full, but certainly a fair chunk.
I'm pretty certain that it's why players so rarely actually hand in transfer requests when they want to move, because doing so can forfeit their compensation.
The wage at the new club is irrelevant.
