surrifox Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 they clearly overpaid on Wan Bissaka and are trying to equalise their budget by pi**ing us about. I wouldn't entertain their negotiators without a proper new offer not linked to impossible incentives like them winning anything or including any of their shite overpaid dysfunctional players as make weights in the deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we take off the fee we initially paid, and then take off the sell-on percentage from the original total on top of that? That makes no sense. We take in £80m, thenwe have to pay 15% of the profit only to Hull. Assuming the sale is 80m, then its: 80m - 17m = 63m profit. 15% of 63m = 9.45m sell-on fee to Hull 80m - 9.45m = 70.55m into Leicester's coffers. 70m spendable cash. I’d go for Schurrle (6m), Dzeko (£17m), Ake (probably the rest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 They've made their low ball offer and presumably hope (hoped) to unsettle the player to the point where a move is forced. That hasn't happened so far so is it case of who blinks first? Leicester are standing firm, so are United (for now) and Maguire is saying nothing (publicly at least).

The fee, it is not agreed, theres still some considerable distance. 2. The payment terms, man utd want to incentivise a lot of it. Man utd are really confident it will get done, like theres plans already for his unveiling. I think they think theyll either agree the fee and it'll be heavily incentivised, or they'll pay more up front and get it agreed. I'm pretty sure we're not up for that, however Maguire's agent is pushing very very hard and Maguire is indeed quite keen, he'll virtually triple his wages. I think it'll get done. I also dont think Tarkowski or Dunk will be the replacement. We’ve seen it with Arsenal - Tierney already, trying to pay a low upfront fee and then attempting to make up the overall asking fee on whether or not they make it into the Champions League. Well the same goes for Man Utd, not guaranteed to be in any European competition to be honest. I’d be disappointed if we accepted a similar scenario when we really don’t need to. As good as £80m sounds, we might not even see half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem certainly fixated on getting Harry, negotiations just haven’t gone as smooth as they like. We’ll get the fee we want.

We told them our price weeks ago and they've failed to get anywhere near it. I honestly don't think we'll budge, which means Man Utd's only two options are to pay what we want or look elsewhere. And according to some reports, they're not prepared to stump up the £90m up front that we're asking. In which case Maguire stays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rachhere Posted 30 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 30 July 2019 It's nice counting the potential money and all, but if selling means we compromise on qualifying for Europe and also on league places, is it really that much profit in the long-run? I was open to selling at the start of the transfer window, but we needed a decent preseason with whoever came in instead, and that's just not happened. If he really was a priority for Man U, they should have got in there far earlier. Time to shut the door on this one. Sorry Big H. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have rather sold him for 70m on the opening day of the window than 90m on the last week of the window. Selling Maguire for 70m and buying Dunk and Tielemans for the money would have been great business if we'd done it early doors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as £80m sounds, we might not even see half of it. Man united won’t get top 4 and ole won’t make it past Christmas. Not sure we’d allow them to pay incentives like trophies won etc because that’s almost not going to happen. I can understand a £75m upfront with £5m if he plays 50 games, another £5m if he plays 100 games and plays for England or something along those lines as they are certainties.

treer Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 If we sell Mags, it weakens us for qualifying for europe. Losing Mags could cost us very important points City should have an add on whereas if we miss europa by less than 4 point £20m less than 7 points, and they pay us £10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
