Taking a struggling player out of the spotlight for a while is important Sometimes.

Now can he do it with Ronaldo... My guess is no

To be fair Ronaldo will sack him if he does that

We should sell Maguire.

Be a high price for non league and would he be a window cleaner to support his wages

Maguire was one of the best centre backs in the league last year. Maybe not 80 million good, but easily the best centre back we had. He picked up an injury late in the season, then went to the Euros, picked up another couple of injuries, was rushed back and was terrible. Hasn't even looked half fit.

Rashford is infuriating at times but he does get goals and assists. Confidence is a big thing for him too it seems and he should have that flowing now.

As for Ronaldo, I think him setting high standards is a good thing in many ways. He himself not meeting those standards and not contributing isn't. Many predicted he'd do more harm than good to the team (I wasn't one of them, I'll hold my hand up) but that's how it appears to be going.

Maguire is an average CB who occasionally puts in a decent performances now and again.

Nowhere near good enough for a top 6 club.

Against the top teams and top attackers he gets ruthlessly exposed. Fortunately for us, West Ham had little threat.

Needs to be sold ASAP. His lack of pace and brain farts won't go away.

This isn’t really true. A lot of his best performances are in the big games against the best players. As we usually play deeper, and Shaw isn’t as attacking, leaving him less exposed.

We need better, particularly if we want to push higher and defend well on a consistent basis, however.

As much as we need better than Maguire we are unlikely to be selling him.

I reckon Utd have a few of those atm.

Maguire won't ever be good enough, been here 4 years and no sign of improvement, a mistake free game for him is a cause for celebration, rash has been a mess for about a year but at least has shown flashes of brilliance for us, let's see where this next 4months brings for him

There is always a market for these players. Cleverly is still playing in the prem for example. Not for a lot longer mind.

I see AWB as more of a 'problem' than Naguire really. I think Maguire at his best is a more than decent defender personally, where as I dont think AWB has a very high ceiling at all, in fact he's probably about Enhlands 9th best rb. I can see him going on a free.

We do leave very highly paid players on the bench, though. And pay them off it they’re shiiiiit and won’t leave.

The wages will always be a problem though. Martial would be out the door by now if he wasn't earning a ludicrous amount of money. AWB is on nowhere near as much but he's on about 90k. Which is still far more than anyone would be willing to pay, based on performance

……

Why? When players move to lesser clubs they will be on lesser wages. That is how it mostly works.

It's how it mostly works. But it's also why we struggle to offload players. As they don't want to move for lesser wages. Martial is a live example of this

Hopefully. He's had enough opportunities and wasted them. But when he does leave, I'll not be surprised if we have to pay a portion of his wages like with Alexis. He'd be gone on loan now but Sevilla didn't want to stump up the cash. Not that I blame them

Pretty sure we got rid of him on a free with a small payoff. We didn’t pay his wages for Inter.

We did when he was on loan. And then effectively paid a fair portion of them by virtue of the small (in the millions) pay off when he was released. The payoff was 5-10 million. Disastrous tbh. But that's a consequence of having players on wages clubs won't pay. Or you are stuck with the player

Big difference on what Sanchez was on and what Martial is on though.
