All the feckin Man U twonks down here who have never seen them play live will be making even more snidey digs... He's as good as gone!

I just hope he now doesn’t do a Mahrez and kick up a fuss, pushing for the move. He needs to respect the club and his contract he’s signed if Utd don’t meet our valuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mozartfox Posted 26 July 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2018 If this happens, then we really have lost all ambition and I question the purpose of contracts. We are forced to sell the best and forced to keep the deadwood. Why not give up completely and join Forest and Derby next season? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 I'd be all over this if I had faith we'd reinvest wisely. But at the moment, it's hard to have any faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 There’s no way he’s a £65 million + defender. Had a very decent season last season and a great World Cup - I love watching him play for us - but he’s not that good. The problem we have is that realistically we’d struggle to replace him with a player of equal or superior quality and the same skill set (specifically comfort in possession) no matter how much money we’ve got to spend. We’ve already got a big problem in that we can’t replace Mahrez with somebody of equivalent quality. If we do that twice in one window with two of our most important players we’re booking a one way ticket to a relegation struggle. Don’t sell at any price.

NewquayFox Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 We need to sign another Robert Huth type Centre Half to replace Maguire if he does go (sincerely hope not) but unfortunately we will never get that lucky again, not sure who fits the bill....

No we don't - we are trying to create a team who's able to keep the ball successfully, not just tw** it all the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to hope that we're already in advanced negotiations with other clubs for a replacement. Man Utd's bid being announced to the media wouldn't have come out of nowhere. I imagine that discussions would have been ongoing with Man Utd before their offer leaked to the press. If not then it's worrying about how we're running our club.

ARM1968 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 It’s simple. If he wants to go let him, but it’s £65 million plus Smalling. Otherwise FO. They want him then make them pay and help us bridge the hole in defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winteriscoming Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 I will be in a minority but I'd take 65m for Maguire. Then try and get mawson, smalling or gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 £65m-£70m is enough to get in one, maybe two, good centre backs from Europe. It's just whether there's time. We'd need a replacement in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoshhFox Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 If it’s a £65m offer I would sell. That’s an insane amount for him. He is our best player though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walshie is God Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 I'm literally gutted that we consider selling. Thought times had changed but maybe not. Sad times as no faith in puel or rudkin to get the right replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972 Fox Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 (edited) Not for sale at all IMO. We should be looking for another CB anyway on top of what we already have. Edited 26 July 2018 by Blue Fox 72 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Maguire want to leave Leicester for United? The answer, more money, champions league football, bigger stage, better players etc etc. So Surely all those factors would mean smalling wouldn't want to leave Man united for Leicester City?

Vlad the Fox Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 Stay calm, man u have bid we've said he's not for sale at any cost, they'll push and we push back. Harry Maguire is going nowhere, I had a pleasant tingling in my forehead earlier that can only mean that he's staying. Let the twitter brigade make up and regurgitate, let the bookies lengthen his odds to stay, place bet and get rich. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine if Maguire goes, smalling wouldn’t get in the Man U team, therefore he probably would consider moving on so he could get 1st team football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
