Maguire | he stays!

Take Maguire's £30M and tell West Ham we can figure out Scott next. And then once Maguire is done say £45M for Scott.
Agree. 30m is more than fair for Maguire imo given his age, wages and form. But 20m for McT is too cheap imo. McT is not top quality but he's actually quite decent with good physical attributes. He's also young and can play many positions.
 
If they sell Maguire I think we need a central defender in the squad as a back-up for Varane and Martinez. Varane needs a lot of breaks during a season, and I do not trust Lindelöf as our only back-up. I hope that Evans is not meant to be a back-up. You could see in the last game that he has lost a lot of pace, and he will not be a good solution.

Todibo you would think?
 
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
If JWP is worth only £30m, being as he’s quite a lot better than McT I’d say £20m-£25m is about right for McT.

Bear in mind JWP is Southampton’s best player who they would rather not sell at all and McT is surplus for us.

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.

That's exactly what we should do,can’t see Caicedo still being on the market next summer

Lavia is their best player according to reports atm of them wanting 50 million, jwp is a class dead ball specialist but hardly sets the world on fire elsewhere imo.
 
£60 million for both is a fair offer and should be accepted.

They are surplus to requirements and we need to bring better players in.
 
Would West Ham pay that for Scott?
Hopefully I think it all comes down to who they can get out of jwp and him for the same kind of money and it looks like Southampton ain't playing ball on that one much like the lavia deal to Liverpool. (I'm starting to sound like Ben Jacobs,need to slap myself).
 
Accept it, move on, and strengthen our own squad
my feelings exactly. Weve haggled a bit to show we arent pushovers anymore, now time to close for what we can get. There are several players we just can't have here next year and seems like we have some lower targets in mind that we should be able to bring in with these excess funds.
 
£30m seems a fair price to me. Hope we just accept that and everyone moves on.
 
I feel bad for Maguire but it’s best for him to move on now. Ten Hag has handled this situation very well
 
the total price of both of them are not worth Rice's one leg :rolleyes::rolleyes: It is so sad about the fee..
 
Get 5m in realistic addons for McT and we're good. I think 5m is there to be squeezed in a double deal.

How much is the Nice CB? We might be able to get both him + Amrabat from the double deal.

He's 26, not a youngster.
 
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE IT !!!!

Get Amrabat and Todibo/Braithwaite in after that and then also VdB and Fred sold, if all done by the end of the.window, we will have played a blinder.
 
most of you are going to look pretty fecking foolish when he bangs in a header during a 7-0 win against kosovo.
 
Good god, snap their fecking hands off if they’ve offered £30m for Maguire.
 
They’re short on what I’d accept for Mctominay. Maguire fee seems fantastic but we’ll probably have to pay him 10m to leave. I also love 30m “take it or leave it” offers from a club who bid 20m for Maguire days ago and apparently wouldn’t go higher.
 
60m actually is something I'd be ok with as a fan, I'd gladly take that mctom for 40 and Maguire for 20. I appreciate for ffp purposes it'd be sold as 30+30 in all likelihood as both players then represent profit on the books.
 


Gathering pace

Everyone desperate for this. but really if Utd were sensible and I think they will be. They could and probably should hold out for about 75 to 80ish for the two of them
