Out of interest, are Bayern going to be the only offer. Would be interesting to see if any other clubs were waiting to see if Levy would accept a number before coming in with a later bid. Would certainly save a lot of time and effort to let someone else do the hard work before putting your money on the table. I cannot believe that Bayern would be the only bidders.

Don’t see which other clubs would look to get involved in a bidding war for him


Maybe PSG but they seem to be changing direction

It would be interesting to see what would happen if a club like Man Utd offered £5 million more than Bayern...

I’m not going to lie, I’m pleased to see Maguire off the books. Pleased for him, as he can reboot his career, and pleased that the club can move on from what was becoming a distraction. The £30m is a nice bonus, and it removes a big number from the wage bill.

I have been very critical of the player for some time. He’s not up to it. But I will never criticise his attitude. Publicly he has never complained about his situation, has always given the club, manager and his teammates his full backing, and has remained professional and dignified throughout. Everything Ronaldo wasn’t, in fact.

I hope he is successful at West Ham. He deserves it.

What happens if Maguire flops at West Ham? Apart from Southgate still picking him obviously 🤣 The mistakes I’ve seen from him haven’t necessarily been from playing in a particular style or system, it’s mainly from him being rubbish with and without the ball.

I think the mistakes have multiplied as time has gone on primarily because his confidence is absolutely shot to pieces.

They started because the system wasn’t suited to him, and as they continued, and the spotlight was shining brightly on him, Maguire’s confidence evaporated and then some.

I don’t think I have ever seen a player look so devoid of confidence at United. Apart, maybe, from De Gea periodically.

Is Areola going to start this season by the way? Just looking at the old FPL team and he's only 4.0 so could be a shout if he does. Or will it still be Flappyhandski?

My money is on flap unfortunately, even tho in reality they should be swapping roles
 
Can’t believe no one has mentioned Ward-Prowse going to West Ham from Southampton, unless I’ve missed it of course.
That’s a great signing for me, experienced Premiership player and his dead balls are superb.

The price for me makes it even better a deal . 30 million?? His set piece delivery alone is worth that

We played the lesser cresswell over Emerson at times to keep our threat from set pieces up , we now don't need to

Another leader aswell

Hear Maguire will be captain but would be happy with either him or JWP

He is a decent player - solid enough , can hit a good free kick

But £60mil for him and Maguire just shows how mental prices are these days - massively overinflated


Thank god MacAllistet had a clause
 
Orikoru said:
How many goals this season will we see JWP corner/free kick -> Maguire header? I'm guessing 5.


Not a fan of a brand new player being captain. Don't you need to earn the respect and trust of your teammates first??

We don't have any tbh who are first team

Rice was a mistake tbh

Zouma kicked his chance

Caicedo at Liverpool moves them from top 4 contenders to title contenders.

Would take their best 11 over Arsenal.

Not sure if it’s just silly games though with Chelsea spending ages going for him whilst we were looking at Lavia

Again 100mil for a game with 40 games under his belt is mental price

But it would be typical of us to sort it last minute after spending ages looking at someone else
