I mean West Ham initially wanted a loan with us paying half the wages their probably offering some garbage fee
Well go back a couple fo months and there were a fair few people sayin ghe is 3 and rubbish and we wont get over 20m for him with the "tell me who would take him then". Friends at work who are Hammers fans dont want him and think they already have better centre backs....which I find funny....
I never wanted us to sign Maguie at the time. There were several better centre backs we could have gone for at the time, and nearly all of them would have been cheaper, several far cheaper. There is no avoiding the fact he has been very poor in a United shirt beyod a reasonable start....I thought it was a case of his confidence shattered and feeling the pressure, but you listen to him in interviews and he genuinely seems that deluded that I dont think that is the case....but
I still feel, he is a good defender and would actually be a really good signing for several sides, decent sides that could afford him SPurs, Newcastle, West Ham....think he would actually do well at any of them....I get the feeling we probably do want a little too much just because of wht we spent...but I think £25m+ considering his age we should be accepting, even though in the current market as bad as he has been he should still be £30-40m....Maguire/Bailly/Telles sales should in itself be decent enough fees to buy a good young centre back, think there ar eplenty of them about and we dont need and other defenders other than a second choice centre back I feel....the need for a right back isnt so paramount I feel now. Bissaka is starting to progress towards the signing I originally thought he would be whenwe boght him, unlike Maguire, he was a signin gI was really happy we made at the time
