Name one, PL proven, that would be available for less than £80m in current market.

Dunk
Aldeirweld
Tarkowski
Lascelles
Boly
Coady
Duffy
Diop
Verthongen
Lejeune

Harry Maguire is the most expensive CB , went for more than De Ligt did and is in the top 10 transfers of all time - Harry Maguire a decent CB but no more than that and prob worth £40mil when you consider DeLigt went for £65mil and VVD £75mil and he isn’t anywhere near their level. Shows how desperate Utd are paying that sort of money

Great list.

Doesn't answer the question though.

Phil said "Maguire is not even the best English CB."

And I asked you to name one (English CB, better than Macguire) that is proven and would be available for less than £80m.

LPL in "slagging off any other teams transfer" shocker

Sadly, football transfers aren’t a true reflection of players ability/Value anymore. That ship sailed a long long time ago.

Yernited have improved their defence which for them was badly needed. They’re not in the lofty the position they once where of being able to attract the cream, settling for Maguire.

Supply and demand.

I heard an old school manager on the radio the other day, can't remember which one, talking about if utd enquire after you, you go. 10yrs ago probably yes. Now, not really. Particularly to overseas players, apart from big wages are they anymore attractive than AC Milan or other fallen giants?

Anyway, yernited who? The Unbearables are back at Wemberlee, let the haters hate mutha fuchaz ✌

Everton has signed Moises Kean from Juventus. Young striker who will hopefully settle in quickly. We are, potentially, having a very tidy window.

They're still a massive club.

They're still a massive club.

They are, as are AC Milan, but they are no longer stand out. If you aren't in the CL, not threatening for the title the gravitas stops to drop away.

If you are a top player from Argentina or Brazil now are you jumping to sign for utd above all others or are you in a group along with city, liverpool, Chelsea now? Probably behind those first 2 at this moment. Times have changed, similar to liverpool after your golden era. It didn't stop you from being a massive club, you just stopped being THE club.

For me Everton is this year’s Leicester. Worth a £5 punt at 200/1. Unlikely that anyone outside the top teams wins, but hey, Leicester wasn’t likely either.

I was chatting with my son about the league last night. We were both saying how it looks like the teams in the second mini league in the PL have bought well this summer. I'm not expecting another Leicester but i can see the likes of Everton, Leicester, West Ham, Wolves (if the Europa league doesn't do a number on them) genuinely pushing some of the regular top 6 out of the way this year. They are gathering better players and should threaten anyone wobbling, arsenal being the obvious one to be overtaken.

Properly excited about the Moise Kean signing, he has so much potential. We're building a very exciting young attack. Kean is 19, Richarlison is 22, DCL is 22, potential for real long-term success from them 3. Also added Gbamin to the squad who's only 23, Mina's 24, Holgate looks set to break through this year also 22, and Tom Davies is only 21. Nice core of talented young players.

I'm a big fan of Tom Davies. I hope he doesn't get squeezed out this year.

Some poor finishing from Liverpool there should never have got to pens.

You may have got yourself confused but this is your exact question

You didn’t ask “who is English and better than Maguire” did you - above was your direct quote of which I gave you a list - so yes I did answer your question

If you want a list of better than Maguire for under £80mil then most on that list is valid as well except I would put — Dunk , Coady , Lejeune at the same level as Maguire , I think Tarkoswki is a better defender - English and less than 80mil but then the signing they should have looked at was Alderwield - far better defender and available for £25mil until Friday .

 

[Dan2501]

Why do they have to be PL proven? PL players seem to have crazy inflated prices right now so why bother when you could go for someone like Skriniar or Dias for cheaper. Newcastle picked up Schar for barely anything last year and he was fantastic, it's just picking the right player and there are way better ways to spend £80m than on Maguire.

Fully agree - 6 weeks ago the price for Maguire was £80mil , they wanted him , didn’t go for anyone else so why did they wait for 6 weeks ? There was a caller on the radio and he says most Utd fans can’t believe Woodward is still there - everything is going through him and he has no clue about the sport hence these mad fees since Ferguson left ( think it’s a billion now spent since he left and all under Woodward )

For the £80mil they could have got Alderwied and then spent £50plus mil on a defensive mid and that would have given them a team to worry about
