Time to bring the shutters down then till the summer at least.
Maguire | he stays!
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
I don't think he's going anywhere this month. Ten Hag wants to improve squad depth right now, not worsen it. Maguire will be important for us until end of the season, different kind of defender that could be important in some type of situations and we know Varane gets injured often.
One thing Maguire will probably be frustrated about (if he doesn't start in most games) is he's just had solid World Cup and being on the bench after that isn't greatest outcome. But with amount of games we should have he'll start in some I'm sure, then perhaps leave for a club like Villa.

It took them just one dinner...Harry what did you do?
You can't go listing off our midfielders, fullbacks, perenially injured reserves and kids to claim we have depth at CB.
We absolutely do not have depth at CB but this story was clearly bollox from the start anyway.
But...they...are...depth. I'd go as far as arguing it improves us getting rid
. Sadly it does appear to be bollocks though.You want depth or you want death?
Ate too slowly perhaps?
They could do with him tonight, drawing at home to Stevenage
They clearly need a defensive juggernaut like the United captain. We only ask for £60m
stevenage might have just netted us another 10m.
We'd get likely some loans with it. So we'd still have a better squad than if we keep Maguire who is mostly useless to us.
They’re about to get dumped out the cup by Stevenage….there’s never a better time to dangle England No.1 Centre Back Harry Maguire in front of them
I think ETH wants a striker badly. By selling his 5th choice Center Back he may get enough to buy a 1st choice striker. Nice trade off.
According to a mate that lives nearby, united players were playing golf at the belfry.
Odds of 1/5 that villa are his next club though.

In an ideal world with no injuries maybe but you're having a laugh with Jones/Mengi/Tuanzebe. Two lads who can't stay fit and a kid who isn't anywhere near ready.
Shaw and Casemiro are first choice in their positions and McT isn't trusted to start at CM at the moment, let alone CB.
We should have four first team quality CBs in the squad which we arguably don't even have at the minute. Get rid of Maguire along with the very real possibility of an injury to Varane and you've got Lindelof playing every week. Another injury to a CB or when Lindelof needs a rest and you're pulling Casemiro or Shaw out of their preferred position. That would leave us with no Casemiro in midfield which would be an absolute disaster or no backup LB.
Lads he's not going anywhere. Calm down.
That is what i am talking about. After spending 200 mil you can't demand more money for attacker while blocking big transfer for your 5th choice defender (who even doesn't fit for your system and will be sold in summer window).
If money from Maguire's sale will not be transfered for attacker.....then fair enough.
Maguire "vamos en Birmingham, algo algo español"
Please don’t kill my hope!! If Shaw can cover centre back then Williams can deputise for malacia if things go south. Not ideal but maybe it’s whats needed to do to get a striker in? What’s Maguire worth now anyway? £30-40m?
I’d love to see him go but this makes too much sense.
There goes my erection.
His wife's mum lives near villa.
I will be massively shocked if he goes.
We are not well covered in defence.

Would that be enough to convince the board and perhaps more importantly Maguire himself, to seek a move though? He’d be on a lot less wherever he ends up moving.
Smell of wee off my chips
Ah well. Talkshite chancer obviously saw he'd been near Birmingham somewhere and made it up based off of nothing but that.
Put him firmly in 'talks out of his arse' tier for future refence.

- yeah I’m not laughing at them or your responses, but rather the wit/sarcasm behind them. I’m not arguing what you’re saying, at all. And it’s not right (as I said), but it’s the world we live in and “famous” people have to be able to deal with it. Not sure if they get the training or not, but yeah, they should because I don’t see it getting any better.
He's obviously negotiating with clubs for a summer transfer then if nothing is happening right now. I wouldnt be surprised if he's spotted having dinner in Newcastle with his agent in the near future as well.
Interested to know the Villa fans thoughts on this, anyone checked their forum?
50m in summer and we have a deal
You’d think this might happen in the summer but no way it happens this month.
But fecking rinse Villa, their fans deserve him.

I do find it a bit interested that as soon as Maguire is rumored out — the club shuts down the rumor instantly. When everyone had Ronaldo requesting a transfer in the summer — nothing was said despite Ronaldo never wanting out. Then it was just said ‘the club doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation’.
Please, it’s a dark, cold, Sunday evening in January. Why can’t you at least dream for a little while? Why not wait until tomorrow at least?
