Bluearmyfox28 Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 Anything less than £80m then no chance. Man U are desperate IF Maguire is to go shake every last penny out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Man United genuinely want to sign him and Harry Maguire is actually interested in signing for the biggest club in England for a world record fee? Not sure why this forum is so sceptical.

brucey Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 It's monk blessing day at the KP today. Maybe that's what the Boeing 737 was doing yesterday. No doubt Maguire will be there, as will the owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetstonefox Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 There probably will be a Harry Maguire announcement tomorrow, either that he’s been sold or that he’s signed a new improved contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why this forum is so sceptical. They probably were interested, they will have been told he's not for sale unless they pay X, where X is a deliberately absurd price and they'll be looking at alterantive targets. I don't know why anything in our recent history makes anyone think we're going to sell him unless they pay out a frankly stupid free. He'll be gone in another year, two at most, almost certainly. But can't see him going now for love nor money. The press have to convince United fans that they're going to get their man all the time to keep them hanging on. It's how they generate clicks and revenue. How many times have we been told they're signing Bale over the last five years? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 Yes what a shite man,this time last year he ways saying he could not wait to get to Leicester,he wouldnt have played for England if he hadn't been at Leicester, think his old man is behind this as he's an accountant.

Yeah I totally get that, especially in deals involving colossal amounts of money - was aiming more at a quote or anything resembling an inference of his interest from Maguire rather than agents etc. He seems a head down, hard work type of guy so doubt that would be apparent anyway. We talk about unfounded links but it's all speculation and whether people would like to see the player arrive. If someone posted a link say Thorgan Hazard or anyone was interested in a move to Leicester I'd still be equally skeptical of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie1999 Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 What would be really funny is if Maguire comes out at old trafford on friday at the start of the match wearing a Man Utd shirt, then takes it off to reveal a Leicester shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very rarely happens that a player is involved in any deal, but as we are in need of a winger/attacking player, I would be pushing for that to be included in any deal, even if just on a season long loan. Martial on loan would be the dream, but highly doubt he would agree to such a move. Pereira is a decent shout, but like I said, unlikely for any players to be included if a deal is done.

vanity Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 7 minutes ago, Gerard said: SkyBet actually have 4/6 on Maguire to be at Leicester and 11/10 to leave Leicester this window so it's not too far away from being a coin flip whether he stays or goes. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/harry-maguire/club-after-summer-transfer-window 60 wins you 66 to leave vs 60 wins you 40 to stay? That is nicely shaded in our favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
