Popular Post fox_favourite Posted 26 July 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2018 (edited) https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/harry-maguire-transfer-manchester-united-12979633 Man Utd is the wrong club for young English players, well Jose being the reason. Luke Shaw saga should be a warning to Maguire. They are so lazy at scouting. In any case, whatever the price Man Utd can Fuchs away and leave our players alone!! I also hate how Man Utd operate as they use the media to unsettle players they are interested in. It's not the 1st time it's happened and they get away with it. I bet they paid for the sun and Mirror to report this. What gets me is the line... "The foxes defender is confident he will be on his way to Old Trafford before deadline day" where the hell has that come from?! No proof or substance to that part. Never mentions that he came out and said he's really happy at Leicester. I get he said he's ambitious, what young player isn't, but this article is definitely trying to unsettle Harry and I hate it. Someone should report them as this is just indirect tapping up. Edited 26 July 2018 by fox_favourite 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnup Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 If they offer 65 mill he’s gone. Regardless. He’s going to be desperate to go also, sorry for anyone who thinks otherwise but he’s had a taste of the top table now and his stock may never be higher. I can see this happening sadly.

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 £65 million may seem good on the face of it …. but it leaves us literally no time to bring in adequate replacements. If it ends up in us being relegated , which is possible with Benny, Morgan and Evans in defence , then it will be a terrible decision. Harry seems a level headed lad and am sure if the situation is explained to him I don't think he'd throw his toys out of the pram. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my view too, very sadly. Just wish Southgate had played Cahill instead of Harry at the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad isn't going no where this season, the owners aren't dumb, take 65m and possible relegation and lose out on 100m plus on TV,add to that commercially and stunt the growth of the club.

ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 If this is gonna happen, I hope it's done quickly. We'll desperately need a replacement. I'd guess Mawson or Gibson would be potential targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookfox Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 Be sad to see him go but I’m not entirely convinced he’s a £65m defender playing in a back four. If he is going do it bloody quick as time is not going to be on our side to bring in a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 I’ve been told that a bid was made, however we didn’t bother responding. Reading brtween the lines, we’ve matured as a club from one or two seasons ago, we won’t make the same mistakes again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markyblue Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 Hold firm tell them to do one.let this happen and we will be cherry picked at will.think 65 million is good value but time to make a stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I think that you'd be very right usually, I just wonder whether both the timing and effect this particular sale might have would make them think twice? £65m represents on the one hand excellent business for a player bought for 17m , but it's not worth as much as Premiership survival or the huge 'for sale' notice you'd be putting on our front door is it? Is potential relegation an over reaction? Well Evans and Maguire would probably be the slowest and perhaps the most ageing pairing of CBs in the Premiership and I don't think Wes has the legs for another full season. Any club selling us another CB would no doubt hoik the price up knowing that with the Marhez and Maguire sales, we may have somwhere in the region of £120m in the bank! Paying big money for an inferior product would somehow defeat the object of the exercise. I also don't think it would be great for the sometimes fickle moral of our team on the eve of a new season and players like Maddison, if they come good, know that at the drop of a hat they can just leave whenever they want in the future, such is the precedence set by selling such a prize asset after just 12 months. Our supporters too would have their mindset changed from cautious optimism for a new season to a deflated sense of having been conned by our owners who'd sold us the mantra that they were in it to be ambitious and go places. You don't get into the top 6 selling your best players, it's been proven time and time again. They'd now be seen as mere dealers and profiteers and the affection for them would start to dissipate.They would then at least save some money on a ground extension because like it or not, if that bubble of expectation bursts, the 'Johnny come lately' support can disappear as soon as it came. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLC86 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 If we had anything about us we would have anticipated this before the World Cup and started considering our replacements long ago. £65m would be a difficult price to turn down if we have someone else lined up.

You are talking about our DOF / Recruitment team here. They have known that Mahrez would be leaving for over 12 months now and have no replacement lined up, so how can they have a replacement lined up for Maguire they are bloody useless and not fit for purpose.

North Leeds Fox Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 Tbf we could still do with another CB regardless of whether big Harry goes. It's taken us all summer to get a second new cb after evans, so would think we would struggle to get 2 in next 2 weeks if Man u bid silly money.

I can see this happening sadly. dont get me wrong £65mil is alot and hes worth it, but would HM really want to play under someone like Jose?? the way hes treated some of the young english players at clubs hes been at is ridiculous, and if he had a couple of bad games hed get throw to the lions so to speak by Jose, in all honesty think if he was to move it would have to be to a better club than Man Utd(under Jose) and one that more suits his style of play(Man City, Liverpool) tbh tho i wouldnt want him to go and dont think he will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
