treer 291 Report post Posted 31 August So going back to basics, Man u sold Evans for 7m, who then ended up at Leicester for 4m, and bought Maquire from Leicester for 80m. It is hard to see which club has had the better deal. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is hard to see which club has had the better deal. It’s not hard at all. They spent 80 million replacing Evans with a lesser player. We spent 19 million replacing Slabhead with a better one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fox92 8,941 Report post Posted 31 August Depends how you measure transfers but we're not going to see who got the better deal after 4 games of the season. Of course Maguire won't win half as much as Evans did there but Evans played in a better Manchester United team. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finnegan 20,752 Report post Posted 31 August Most of the "actual" United fans I know always liked Jonny Evans and always rated him. Few wanted him to leave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aus Fox 4,563 Report post Posted 31 August We paid £3.5 million for Evans and received a world record transfer fee for Maguire, anyway you look at it we got a great deal. At the time united received £7 million a decent fee at the time for a player they didn’t see as a first team player - a good deal for both parties at the time. Now, Maguire at £80m, for me needs to win a Premier League and a Champions League with united and have the same impact Van Dyke has had at Liverpool to start believing they’ve had a better deal.
