feck me I hope we know what we’re doing!
Maguire | he stays!

Maguire can find a better club than West Ham. He should do like Chris Smalling and go to another league and start over in a bigger club than West Ham. It is not to be disrespectful towards the Hammers, but if Chris Smalling can play for a club like Roma, then Maguire can too.
I'm not sure Roma are a better option than West Ham these days.
West ham will pay him more too.
Go on West Ham, £10m more and they're both yours, you can do it, one more bid is all it takes.
WHU finished 6th and 7th in 2 of the last 3 seasons and is in Europe for the 3rd year in a row. This is Maguire's level, especially if he wants to earn as much as he does now.
I can understand turning down the McTomminay bid but they better be in talks about Maguire at £30m. That's good money considering we've going to have to pay half his wages.
This is the ~ £10m that was mentioned before. Approx £100k a week for two years. He can feck off, if that's what he wants, though. He wants to play for England and won't get enough appearances here so he's not really negotiating from a position of strength.
Who said we'd pay half of the wages? Makes more sense to reduce the fee then.
Do not let this slip.
Smalling is actually a better defender than Maguire imo. And no Maguire could not find any better club than WH. The fact we wanted to offload him since last year and only WH made a bid speaks volumes imo. In fact I'm not even aware of any rumour WH aside.
Yeah we'll get money for him but for FFP purposes it wont increase our budget (except it will on wages saved i guess).
Then actually its not good money, if we value him at 40m without paying half his wages. Then why should we accept 30m and pay half his wages?
West Ham will pay more than 30m for Maguire and probably for McTominay too
He's on £190k a week, West Ham aren't going to pay more than £100k most likely.
Romano's said other teams are interested in him.
Because whenever he plays he costs us a goal. You can't put a price on how cathartic it is to see him playing for someone else.
The £30m bid for Maguire has been rejected. It’s the 2nd sentence in the article.
Maguire? Man City were interested at the time but didn't value him at 80m.
So we should accept lower than what West Ham are willing to pay, makes sense
That's true. Let's say nobody but us would agree to pay Leicester 80m then.
West Ham have offered £30m, all things considered, we should sell.
I actually like Smalling, but Maguire is better than him. There is probably also a reason why Maguire plays in the national team in the strongest line-up, while Smalling is not even in the squad.
It says failed bids in the tweet and in the article it says we've rejected both but West Ham are likely to increase the bid for Maguire.
i just have to assume it is the double bid of 60 portion rejected? 30 for maguire is plenty. Seems interesting to haggle over prob around 10 for mctominay hopefully can cover that difference easy enough. On one hand i admire our newfound haggling desire but hopefully we still move on from these two.
Did you just reply to yourself?
Yeah thanks I just noticed the thread name changed and read the article. Wtf really. Hope this won't bite us in the ass.
Some conflicting reports though.
Skysports and Fabrizio say Maguire still under consideration.
Yes
But an accident. But at least I agree with myself.Moyes isn't going to attract the quality of the pair to West Ham normally. He's usually having to buy from lower clubs or leagues or crap European sides.
Getting these two would be a coup for West Ham.

30m for Maguire is fair.
If Harry wanted to leave he would have done that by now. He knows Varane is injured half the season. He will get 25-30 games and earn his money. Sad.
70m for these two, 10m for Henderson, 15m for VDB, 10m for Fred…we’re getting Kane on deadline day aren’t we.
It will increase our budget. It basically cancels out the amortisation of Maguire which we can then spend elsewhere. We have to amortise 26m for Maguire regardless of whether West Ham give us any money or not. If they give us that money then our own income goes up, and we will be subtracting the amortisation money from a bigger balance than the existing one.
Lindelof is preferred over him. Wouldn't be surprised if Jonny Evans is now as well.
I'd take £65 million for the two of them.
Are you guys forgetting the players we will be buying with the money to replace these guys if they go? The fees for Amrabat and Todibo do not leave change for Harry Kane!
My god, I would have taken the £30m!
You can’t put a price on not having to see this clown in a United shirt ever again. Another calamity yesterday.
We could have got Timber for about £5m net

We couldn't play Martinez and Timber together at CB, Todibo would make more sense and is cheaper.
