Fox_in_a_Box Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Imagine if we went and got Koulibaly from Napoli for 70m after United fans have been banging on about how much better he is all summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Got a feeling that we’ll only really appreciate what a huge loss this is with hindsight. I just hope the money is used wisely, and doesn’t just make the “huge squad, cluttered with dead wood on high wages” issue worse than it already is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders86 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Remember walking out after the arsenal game and saying to my pal, I reckon Maguire would go this summer.. We thought about 60m after the season he had would be a good deal for us. United inflated their own price by signing Wan Bissaka for 55m. Think this is a great bit of business from our club.

Liverpool couldn't keep hold of Suarez, man utd ronaldo ,spurs bale , Barcelona even loss their star striker, it's modern football. Can’t agree, We’ve managed to keep hold of Morgan.

What World Class footballer can you buy for 80m? It isn’t 2009 anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you think that MU are going to stay in limbo for long or that we have the means to regularly challenge them, then I'm sorry but you're deluded. I meant this window/season.

dayday Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 I honestly hope he fails, this Leicester side is the best squad I’ve known and he jumps ship for a global brand who I think is a weaker side than us, good effing riddance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 (edited) they should look at it as £50m for Maguire and £35m to not have to see smalling and Jones again... won’t seem so bad then... Edited 2 August 2019 by MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say rival I rather think of Everton, West Ham, Wolves. Imo our push for the top 6 also heavily depends on how bad the actual big fish will do. The biggest unknowns being Chelsea and MU, both having unproven managers with little PL experience. Chelsea, despite losing Hazard, have a much better team/bench than us, so it really depends on Lampard. For MU, 6th is as bad as it can get. Their actual floor is actually what we're aiming for. They were shit last season, yet still managed to let Wolves (7th) 11 points behind. I don't know if people realize how big of a gap it is. So if the stars are aligned and everything goes well for us, Brendan getting the most of a young, very promising team, Chelsea misfiring and MU continuing their slump then we have a real chance of breaking through. But realistically I see us ending anywhere between 7th and 9th. We'll see. Edited 2 August 2019 by That_Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 1 hour ago, Cardiff_Fox said: You are missing the point if you think the fans are cared about the money. Leicester have called the shots on Man U in transfer negotiations. The power game is skewed on transfers. I have seen one or two posts which gave justification as maguire having no motivation, the rest clearly by money. I never said we didnt call the shots. If we didnt call the shots I wouldnt be blaming the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox85 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 1 hour ago, SheppyFox said: With respect Brendan has a better idea than me or you if they’re good enough, we have to trust him. Nope. This will be a panic buy for a player that will cost a unrealistic 40m which will offer no upgrade and zero return for a ageing CB. We must avoid dunk and Tark.

Ah right so because UTD are stupid enough to pay over the odds does not mean we should follow suit. Maguire is a 20m defender nothing more as I have stated numerous times.
