What about all the dead wood players slim silva mendy Elder kaputska nacho gray is an option Ghezzal Amartery Plus there should be quite a significant drop in wages with the likes of Simpson fuchs okazaki maybe king too leaving ontop of any from above which can be offset as millions in less expenditure. How exactly are we going to raise funds by creating more holes that need to be filled in our squad? Selling Amartey would mean buying a backup RB, probably for more money than we made back. Besides, Amartey, Ghezzal, Mendy and Gray deadwood? They're key squad players and mostly on low wages. They're fine staying here. If we exclude them from your list, we're left with Slimani, Silva, Elder, Kaputska, and Iheanacho. We would make probably <5+20ish+<1+<5+<15, or optimistically, less than 45 million (in reality probably less) from that, and increase onto our summer transfer list another striker. That leaves us with Tielemans roughly paid for if we can sign him and two strikers to sign. Of course we should sell deadwood, but unfortunately that's a slow process, involving loans out first to try to get some value back. Any money we make back from Slimani for example should be considered a bonus, not a part of our transfer plans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to sell to spend £50m+, then that's exactly the point I'm making. Without doing so I can't see the money being there. Lets not forget as well, that you'd be lucky to get about £500k for many of them. Then they'd need replacing so you end up diluting the money across more players and we don't spend it all on the areas we really need. The previous conversation talked about selling a major Asset. The players I listed are not, apart from Gray maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amartey only just signed new contract so would be very surprised if he left! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 1 April 2019 Share Posted 1 April 2019 They're trying to get rid of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones apparently. Wouldn't mind the former player here, in exchange for Maguire plus £30-£35m imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 1 April 2019 Share Posted 1 April 2019 Varane announcing his intentions to leave Real Madrid could see United making him their priority. He'd cost double that Maguire would cost mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying he is happy to stay is different of course to saying he would turn United down if they came knocking. Its also a way of protecting his loyalty bonus. his agent can be working behind the scenes to engineer a move yet if he goes on record as saying he wants to move or asking for a transfer then that’s northwards of a million quid that can go down the drain.

49er Posted 2 April 2019 Share Posted 2 April 2019 Good player that Maguire is, I'm not convinced that he is a particularly good defender. If we have Tielemans and Maddison in the midfield with Chilwell and Ricardo bombing forward we need a couple of defenders (a la Morgan and Huth) who just defend and are good at that particular aspect. Cash in on Maguire (£65m) and spend some of that on a central defender who has proven himself in the Premier League (Mee, Lascelles, Dunk, Smalling, Ake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I get that, but from some posts you'd think he was knocking on the manager's door every day demanding a transfer. I think it's clear he's going nowhere unless very good money is put on the table.

If a big clubs comes in he's likely to still push for a move though, as pretty much every player does when those clubs come calling. I don't see what's changed really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
