We'll need a solid replacement. The real point I was making is, I hope we do not spunk money on anyone from Brighton or Burnley. Crap value and no better than we have. What was the point buying Soyoncu and Benkovic? Agree that Wes is not an option. BTW ; What do we do if Vards gets a serious injury? No different to Evans scenario you mention? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Dunk £45m Hull 15% £12m Fee paid £17m we benefit by £6m and lose the best English Central defender for the privilege..... Er, no? You do realise we don't have to pay the £17m fee again, right? Using your estimates if we sell Maguire we get Dunk and pocket £23m, not £6m. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 3 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: Always a tricky one. The club that stands to lose the most (From a footballing perspective) is us, no question. The later in the window, the more we are hit. Do we know if Harry has categorically said he does want to go to Utd? Sure it just have been posted, but guess I missed it amongst then "information" I think it's fair to believe he has said he'd like to go, otherwise we'd just tell Utd to get fcuked. The club obviously consider Maguire to be professional enough to maintain his performance levels if no transfer materialises but I'd be staggered if there's bids of £60-70m let alone higher for him next summer. Then again the club don't need the money and probably don't care, it's very amusing seeing the media, pundits and Man Utd and their fans being made to look absolute piss ants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different to Evans scenario you mention? I agree about not paying over the odds to Brighton or Burnley. Benkovic and Soyoncu would have been long term investments- I guess the coaching staff will know if either is ready for a full season or not, but I don't think we can risk having both as first choice if Evans gets injured for a long spell. I try not to think about Vardy getting injured to be honest suppose Perez will help if that happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid £17m several years ago, and have realised a good chunk of that value since by him actually playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPeakFox Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 @Reg Vardy, for the record, Hull only get 15% of the profit made. Thus, less than £12m, more like £9.5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 Plus there’s no way on God’s green Earth we buy Dunk for 45 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deary me. He was behind Vardy, Pereira, Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison, Evans and Schmeichel in performance terms. I’m hoping that if he does sign for you, with the higher line you tend to play at the back, his lack of pace will be exposed by Vardy when we play you. One thing for sure, Maguire alone isn’t going to fix the problems at Old Trafford. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which he might not now. Inter are apparently more keen on getting Cavani from PSG. Maybe someone at Inter who is blessed with the power of sight actually watched Lukaku play and realised he's a bit shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
