£30m for Maguire is more than I thought we'd get considering the wages he's on and the meme he's become. McTominay should not be sold for less than £40m. We may as well keep him for anything less.
Maguire | he stays!

I hope the £30m isn't based on £15m up front and £15m add ons like Maguire winning PL, CL and the Ballon do'r!!
Exactly. Maguire IMO is worth 35-40 mil and McTominay is worth 40-45 million, at least. I would be looking for a combined fee of at least 75 million, rising to 85 million with some not so hard to achieve add ons.
Would be uncharacteristically good business, as long as it's upfront and not addons. Maybe a tiny bit on the cheap side overall, but let's call it a discount for helping us get rid.
Take it and run, I say. Then get Todibo and Amrabat done. Good stuff. Clean.
I'd take it and run to be honest.
But considering they've upped their offer by £10m just like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the club push for a bit more.
West Ham are close to getting desperate aren't they?

Please accept. I beg you.
I've never seen that happen, nor ever even heard of a dog biting the hand off a human being. What a happy dog does, when they're not trying to mate with you, is stand up on their back legs and put their muddy front paws on you.
It's time to retire this saying.
Supposedly tabled a combined bid of £50m+ so just shuffled the values around a bit, but essentially coming up well short. Definitely isn't going to fly, as we're expecting at least £35m-£40m for McTominay alone.
What?
If McTominay, Fred and VdB leave, we’d need two midfielders. I’d like Lavia here.
50m is reasonable for Maguire and McTominay. We are where are and we have to prune the roster down and make room for Amrabat as a direct replacement for McTominay and whoever we have in the queue for Maguire. Do Fred as well (I like Fred a lot, but he's too inconsistent) and we're just about there, waiting to pounce for Kane once the calendar say September 1. It's my understanding that the transfer window closes the 11pm (BST) September 1 -- plenty of time to watch Levy grovel before us while publicly playing the masterful businessman his PR team have made him out to be.
I will have some of what you are smoking, mate. It is clearly some quality stuff!
Let's see.
As i said earlier, Fellaini and Baines vibes
Take Maguire's £30M and tell West Ham we can figure out Scott next. And then once Maguire is done say £45M for Scott. If they say no, keep Scott. Take the funds and buy Amrabat and give Evans a 1+1 deal to add cover.
If we sell DVB, we need the squad depth anyways. Eriksen, McTominay, Amrabat, Mainoo are good backups to have. Next year cut Eriksen loose & sell McTominay to fund Caicedo if Chelsea doesn't buy him this season.

If you need a good read/laugh the west ham forum is on fire atm someone posted this in response of Maguire being 30 ............."If we were signing a 30 year old Rio, Stam or Vidic would we complain? Experience is especially important for defenders. Ferguson had guys like Blanc playing for him deep in their 30s" 
50m is not reasonable for both. Blind desperation to bin off players from the same people who moan we are shit at selling.
It really isn't
Goodbye Harry. If we do not accept this we are incredibly foolish.

Whats funny about it?
£30 is more than reasonable. Get another £35 for McT we good to invest in 2 more players
If it is truly 30M then we should take it. I would be happy with 25M as long as we don't have to cover any of his salary.
The part which compares Maguire to Rio,stam and vidic.

Link please, I’ve got the popcorn ready.
well the article states its north of 50m and it really is a good deal if its clean. At 50m is a net gain of 47m on the books
Yeah, no chance of getting both for £50m
Valuing McT at £20m is a serious low ball offer, Southampton are asking for £30m for James Ward Prowse FFS
50m for both is depressingly low. But considering how all of our players are on higher than avg wages, we might have to accept a lower fee
50 million for both would not cut it, but I'd take 60 to be honest.
Don't think the poster is directly comparing the quality of Maguire to Rio etc.
Think it's talking about a player with experience for club and country, being a solid investment, rather than a risk on some younger player with 'potential'
Caf complains we don't sell well and at the same time happy to throw out Maguire and Scott out for 50M? 50M is close to being a disrespectful bid. 30M for Maguire maybe fine but then 20M for Scott? West Ham would themselves be asking 40M+ if the deal was the other way round.

Yeah I get it's due to the experience just made me laugh seeing their names included in that part sorry mate.
We should accept that, hopefully Harry is keen, as Southgate will want him to be playing regularly soon.
30m is a great deal for a 5th choice cb
I would probably take £30m for Maguire. I would have preferred somewhere between £35m to £40m but considering the wages and standing in the squad, the fee is ok. £50m for both however is a no go, I would want closer to £40m for Scott.
£55m total would be a pretty good deal for us and a pretty good deal for them. It feels like the price where the deal happens. Any more and they’ll walk, and I can’t see us agreeing if it’s any less.
Yeah
Hopes were up, but now they're lower than they were because WH seem to be going in the wrong direction with their bids and there's absolutely no way we'll let them do us over on McTominay.They'll be really good signings for them, will improve them. Be thrilled to get 60m for both. Harry's just never fit in here and other than McT's goal against City, I feel absolutely zero emotion towards him.
30 for Maguire and 35 atleast for Scott would be nice and we could get in a couple more hopefully Amrabat and todibo if things pick up quickly.
