Earlier (Tier 4):

The basis of the agreement is set, Diego León, 17 years old Paraguayan, to Manchester United of England.

He will remain in Paraguay until June 2025, then he joins his new team.

In 2024 he played 21 games, 15 of them full time, scored 2 goals.

I hope we follow up this signing with Sverre Nypan.

 

[Mr Smith]

We hear this every year. I doubt we'll sell more than 3-4 fringe players.

Good to see us continuing to sign talented young players. That's one of the very few areas the club has actually succeeded over recent years

 

[Shabby as she goes]

I think people overreact. If 2 years ago we said 'lets rebuild the squad' then surely you'd allow at least 2-3 years to achieve it. Its going pretty well and in actual fact we were probably only a couple of missteps away from being much further along. Just look at what a high quality player like Palmer does to those around him. I was watching bayern last night and just imagining we had got Olise and having him as one of amorims 10s. Hes levels above what we have there, but 2-3 top players can improve so much. Despite soft goals lately our defence is much improved by mazraoui and de ligt and that's before yoro is up and running.

For arguments sake, imagine this team but with Olise and a top left full back. All of a sudden it doesn't look anywhere near as weak. To compete at the top, you can't have 1 passenger in starting line up. As it stands we have 2-3 per game. 2-3 top additions changes so much

We absolutely don't need a rebuild, we're in the middle of a rebuild and we have about 14 players plus youth that i think would make part of a successful squad. If we get next summer right, i think the squad will be in excellent shape

Well said and I fully agree, our rebuild is progressing quite well. Also if you look at our additions of last summer, there’s very little to complain about: De Ligt, Mazraouiz and Ugarte doing well, en Yoro all reason to be hopeful. Zirkzee is obviously very uncertain, but a 4 out of 5 score is very decent.

About the squad:
LWB, let’s see if still needed with the young new guy we brought in this week, and how Malacia continues to recover. Plus Amas 1 year older.
Agree on the 10, though I don’t know the Bayern guy.
Then I say we still need that proven striker. There’s plenty of options available, David, Boniface, Vlahovic or Goykeres all are decent options

Meanwhile let’s see if we can offload some of our salary whales. Case and Rashford would be good and that’s not unrealistic

Long story short, couple specific players in and out and were pretty much sorted to compete

[Stobzilla]

£2million will do.

Loved his first half of the debut season but the Reading injury killed his momentum and he hasn't looked the same player since, outside of a couple of nice games here and there.

 

[Giggsyking]

 

[JJ12]

Where's he heard that

 

[FrankDrebin]

In his head.

 

[thegregster]

Where's he heard that

 

[JJ12]

I meant where's Russ heard we are preparing 21m bid

 

[Semper Fudge]

Russell Martin is odd.

 

[M4YON]

I meant where's Russ heard we are preparing 21m bid

The lads agent, standard negotiation tactic for a better deal for the lad.

 

[VP89]

We will go for him when they're relegated.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Russell Martin is odd.

Strikes me as being in it for himself

 

[Stobzilla]

I think he's probably got people in his ear making up shit about Jason Wilcox who they all know.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[Foolsgold21]

I would be leaning towards triggering the extension and then letting him go for free in 2026.

New system suits him, he's clearly a "Good pro" so good to have around - and with Evans and Lindelof out the door in the summer, it would mean only needing one (if any?) centre back this summer.

 

[FlawlessVictory88]

I'd only activate it if Amorim isn't sure about the Academy grads and I certainly wouldn't activate it until the summer. Give Maguire something to play for and maybe have us set a precedent of rewarding performances.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[Lynty]

Model professional how Maguire has taken the criticism/mockery. Really respect him. He had that short period where we was a bit defensive and reposting his pass compilations on twitter, but that's understandable.

He seems happy to be the 4th choice center back (probably 2nd choice for that middle spot) which will see him have plenty game time.

 

[Red Rash]

I'd offer him a 2 or 3 year contract on hugely reduced wages then he has two options:

1. Sign the contract and remain at the club with decent game time
2. Move to another club and still be on a much lower salary as no one would pay what he's getting now

 

[Scorpy]

Maguire is a quality option to have in this system.

[Sandikan]

Wow, looks like it's 100% nailed on he's off in January then.
It's all been conjecture until now.

I really don't think it's that certain

Doubt there is a strong market for him and clubs will low ball us given the recent statements. I also don't imagine rash taking a big pay cut to go somewhere

If rumours are true that we are looking at Kolo Muani maybe there’s a deal to be done. Loan swap until the summer maybe?

Tier 2:


Teams across the Championship and League One are looking at Ennis. United, however, will loan him out to a team that'll be best for his development i.e. the team he'll go to won't necessarily be the highest-placed team.

Doesn't need to be the best of the best but he's already shown he can do it consistently against League One teams, if I'm him I'm looking at the Championship.

 

[OwlvsFox]

This is just plain stupid comments from Marcus. What is this non sense about when I leave "no hard feelings".

You are not a child; the club has deemed you not to be in their plans, so they are willing to let you go.

You were getting paid 300K a week for being very average player for most of that contract period, you simply can't have hard feelings. Lets see what you get paid outside, remember David DeGea was earning 20m a year and gone to play for an Italian club for 3-4m a year.

If there are hard feelings to getting screwed over, it will be for the club, from Marcus side, it should be appreciation, nothing else.

he missed a lot of football through injury and a half season getting acclimated to regular first team football in league one is better for his career than being a bit part player. performing in league one would be a great launchpad for a higher move next year
