Saxondale Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 People saying that they've paid over the odds: Some absolute tripe regularly changes hands for £30-£40m. He's one of the most sought after English players. Yes, £80m is a shedload of money, but that's just where we are now. We paid £30m (ish) for Slimani who is essentially a Sunday league player.

We've sold a player who didn't want to be here for 85m. Someone who wasn't our best centre half. We've held out for 85m when many would've sold for 65m. We've given ourselves plenty to go out and get a very good replacement. We've done well. Edited 2 August 2019 by Goober 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lcfclad2013 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 So who's partnering Evans? Caglar? Benkovic? Wes? Latter who most likely won't be able to play every game. Do we go for another defender or use money elsewhere? I'd be intrigued to see caglar and benko tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Still not quite decided how I feel about this one. Obviously the fee is ridiculous and we've absolutely had Utds pants down on this one. Still leaves a bit of a hole in our defense though as we have no idea how well the young lads can step up or how well any new signing will fit in. Could go either way. However it does mean we'll possibly be able to bring in another key player like a winger who could push us to the next level. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Last game of the season against United could be very interesting if European football is on the line... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Not sure why United think he's some sort of great leader. I'd argue Evans was the one setting the defense up when playing alongside Harry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I asked you yesterday would you have said we'd lost or wasted (£20 + £10 + £5 = ) £35million on Maguire? No, you wouldn't. So those figures don't come into the equation when you're talking about selling him - it's a sunk cost fallacy. If we've sold him for £85m then we're giving Hull about £10m back (15% of profit) and maybe spending £40m on a replacement. That's still a cash injection for us of £45million. A far cry from the nothing you're claiming. Edited 2 August 2019 by Xen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That_Dude Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 47 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: People are pleased with the fee. Not his departure. The departure was difficult to block I imagine. He wanted to go and was never going to stay more than three season. His love story with MU began as long time ago. Remember his tweets about MU and the rumors at the beginning (or middle) of last season? Credit to him, he never made a fuss. No one can decently be surprised by the outcome. Both sides are happy and MU got their pants royally down. I personally wish him all the best there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Just now, whoareyaaa said: he will certainly be under the spotlight and I've always had him down as a nervous type of player however he did add quite a bit to our team in terms of his presence but defenders can be replaced quite easily. It may sound bitter but a month ago someone made the very good point that Maguire has joined United at a similar point in their careers Jones and Smalling left Blackburn and Fulham. In an open side, certain parts of his game are going to be exposed. He thrives in the scenario of playing deep - see his performances at Anfield and Old Trafford (when he first joined) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
