True but some are based on good sources and then there are these onesLiterally every tweet is click bait.
Wonder what club we've got lined up for him
Exactly. It's not the fall that kills you, but the sudden stop at the end.
What a load of bollocks.This love in for Maguire is bizarre. He's been directly at fault for multiple goals in just our last 3 games. Despite being terrible this season, Martinez has played significantly better over 3 game periods than Maguire over the previous 2 seasons. Mazraoui played really well at cb in Amorim's system before being shifted out to wing back where he's been rubbish since. De Ligt's been inconsistent but still better than Maguire.
Maguire is absolutely not our best centre back, and it's another example of us throwing money away by renewing a big contract player who isn't worth their wage. People on here will then moan why no team will buy our big wage players, like they did with Martial.
The same people heralding Maguire as apparently our best cb were the same people trying to hound him out of the club a year ago. Back then, his decision to refuse to move was universally criticised, and now it's being used as an example of what Rashford should have done to justify criticism of him for wanting to leave (when everyone was asking for us to sell him anyway). I remember the sentiment towards Maguire a year ago very clearly because I was one of probably 3 people here actually defending his right to stay while under contract. Just as then, my criticism isn't towards Maguire himself here, it's towards the continuity of our inept decision makers at the club.
I would only have VVD of those you've listed over Maguire.Yeah, so what? According to Capology, £190k ties Maguire for 5th highest pay in the Premier League amongst CBs, behind only John Stones, VVD, Fofana, and De Ligt.
You think he's anywhere near that good? He's getting paid as much as Saliba for reference, and more than guys like Guehi, Konate, Gabriel, Dias, etc.
It's a waste of resources on a fairly ordinary player, and you can replace him with nearly anyone for that kind of money.
What problems has Kobbie had with Amorim?He doesn’t seem to fit the system and he’s already had issues with the manager. I’d say they are being mentioned together so Garnacho can’t say he’s being pushed out but I’d imagine we’d sell for the right money 100%. Hes not on huge wages yet either. These are the kinds of hard calls we’ve failed to make over the years and just shrugged and given a massive deal.
This must have knocked him down a peg, no one wants him. Just loans, hence the news that he may stay. Sorry mate, do not want!!A Rashford loan is the best we can expect I would imagine, unless he is open to Saudi. Hopefully get some sort of a fee and he plays well enough to secure a transfer in the summer. He is done here.

There really is some weird under-rating of Maguire by United supporters.
He not a patch on any of them, he is a level below.Maguire over Saliba, Ruben Dias, Konate, Gabriel?

OK, maybe not Saliba, but the others I would, especially in a back three.Maguire over Saliba, Ruben Dias, Konate, Gabriel?

Says in the article we want to loan himMaybe we have a buyer lined up for Bayindir and we’re bringing him back as backup.
ANYONE but Borussia Dortmund. Unless they cover 100% of the wages.
Did you just say you would take Maguire over Gabriel? The Gabriel at Arsenal? The one that scores loads of goals? A CB for the team thats let in the least number of goals this season so far, at 18?OK, maybe not Saliba, but the others I would, especially in a back three.
What is this shit?
Yes please. Discounting the United red-tinted talent markup, 100M is good money for his level.I had a tip Chelsea are going to bid 100m for him in the summer, a month or two ago.

They've never given me a tip. They don't care much for football, but they are a fund manager and often meet these types. They were at a work do and spoke with a CFO of a football agency who said Chelsea will test United in the summer behind the scenes for 100m (he said it may not be a public bid).Has this person got things right before?
