Manchester United to bid £65m for Maguire

Lots of talk this morning that the United board have sanctioned a £65m move for Maguire who has been prioritised as their top target this window. While there’s nothing concrete yet reports say Leicester chiefs are concerned and have started to look at replacement options - one of which has been identified as Gary Cahill!

I personally think if United submit £65m and Maguire has his head turned then Leicester could well accept. It’s very good money for a player that still has some developing to do if we’re honest and I’m not sure Puel will want the kind of squad disruption that the Mahrez saga had last season.

I personally think spending that much on Maguire is premature for United, he still has a lot to learn defensively and but he’s a superb ball playing central defender. Would be a better fit for City in my opinion and his game would develop much better under Pep.

This would be terrible.

Another example of our club signing players at the height of their hype, rather than developing players ourselves.

Develop Jones, Smalling n Rojo? Good luck with that.

Did I say to develop Jones, Smalling or Rojo?

No.

Try engaging your brain.

It's our m.o these days. It screams for our needs for a director of football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why would a director of football be anymore for promoting youth?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He would think past 5-7 years ahead instead of 1-2. Signings like alderwiered and Sanchez would rarely come up. Look at man city and how they sign players. I get the feeling they played us into signing Sanchez knowing our lack of common sense in our purchases. Showed interest and made us act out of insecurity.

The reality is teams are getting younger and yet better and this comes from someone not trying to buy experience rather buying talent and Give them experience.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

But this example is about buying a youngish Cb who has many years on his side

As for us, our side is hardly getting older. Over the past couple of years we’ve supplemented the odd older signing with players like Dalot, Bailey, Lindelof, Pogba and Lukaku amongst others under 25. Fred has just turned 25

Harry Maguire is bang average and I’d love them to splurge £65M on him when Alderwereild is available for probably half the price

Decent player but if he is on the radar why wasn't he last summer?

Would be another poor signing from the club all round, even though I like him.

Alderweireld half the price!! You thick?
You could do with someone like Maguire. Better than the jokers you have in defence

He would probably improve our defence cos it’s trash but it doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s bang average

£65M for a big lump who can’t sprint or pass and has terrible positional sense. Leicester would be mental to reject it. Would love this deal to happen

Would that make all Leicester fans suicidal, bipolar sociopaths?

When they have to converse with Arsenal fans absolutely. We have to get on wavelength after all - “Wenger in, no Wenger out I hate him, Ozil is shiiiiiit, We’re gonna win the league, we can’t even get top 4

Silly caants

Harry is very comfortable on the ball, can bring it forward well, but sometimes loses possession and as a result can get badly caught out of position. He's also not the best defensively. Worth £65M if Van Dijk is worth £75M though.
