Only a few years back £25 million may have seemed high for a defender, but the market since then has gone sky high. Maybe, but 70m would pay for Tielemans and a top winger/CB. Worth the risk, it isn't like without him we will start leaking goals as we already do concede quite a lot. Edited 2 July 2019 by lgfualol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poznan34 Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 Who are the other clubs? Tottenham wouldn't bid that much, Arsenal have limited ££, Chelsea transfer ban. Liverpool? Surely one of the big European clubs wouldn't match the fees being discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not for sale - that’s the message from the club so I doubt another club would actually put in a bid ..... it would be an ‘enquiry’ via an agent who yanited are using ...... agent: hi john .... that big fella you have in defence ..... if someone was to offer 70m for him would you be interested??

If Man U come to their senses and decide to go for someone else and he has a crap season, then we'll be selling for 30m next Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 6 minutes ago, Fightforever said: Benkovic and soyuncu pairing could potentially last us a decade why on earth would we need another defender it has never made any sense to me we bought these two in case maguire left a year ago and now alll of a sudden they aren't good enough. Potentially, you are right. I just think it's more of a gamble than some people on here are suggesting. Soyuncu is almost completely unproven. We have saw very little of him and Benkovic seems to have a fairly serious reoccurring injury. Last thing we need is for one of them to turn out to be a bomb scare and the other to become best friends with the physio, leaving us with Morgan who will do the job for us here and there but having him as a starter from now until January is quite daunting. Ideally Big Ben or Soyuncu or both hit the ground running and are excellent but are you willing to bet a European place on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleFox Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 3 minutes ago, Viva said: Oh give up. I made the point that he was delighted about Maguire going which I found strange as he is one of our best players. Simple as that. If that particular emoji meant something different I couldn’t care. I know what he thought about the matter. I think the point he and others were making is not "sell him yay". No argument is so simple and unnuanced as that. The following two sentences can both be true: Maguire is our best defender and I would like him to stay. If selling Maguire meant the team as a whole could improve it is worth thinking about. I don't think anyone is really "delighted" about selling him it is just that for the amounts quoted they might think it would be beneficial for the team (in a similar fashion to Coutinho/Bale). Now these people may be wrong, we may be better keeping him and not putting the money elsewhere but it is a topic up for debate and there are good arguments on either side. I wish things weren't so polarised on here and online in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieADZ Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 if Utd want HM they will have to pay the same or more as Liverpool paid for VVD, Utd fans saying he isnt worth it yet they paid 90mil on Pogba whos social media stuff has done more than his on field stuff at Utd, and they paid £45mil for AWB whos had one good season, and what was it...47mil on Fred, they need to be quiet on price tags given they brought more duds than most in recent times and for big money too bunch of hypocrites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
