Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[RedForeverTT]

Ronaldo loves the club. He won't leave them (again).

Or. United could buy him back from Chelsea 2 years later for £89m.

[Dim Glas]

The toon are getting in on the act

Screw those human rights abusing tosspots.

[rob1966]

£81m for the toon defence.  That's £1m for every person killed in the mass one-day Saudi execution in March...

Fuck the toon. 

This

Yes,rather cheer United than them.

[The G in Gerrard]

Surprised they've signed no one yet. It's six weeks until season starts I think.

[Egyptian36]

They have this stupid belief that they are big enough not to fall further and all it takes is 1 or 2 big name players and everything will be fine. They should have tried to get whoever was the technical or sporting director at Brighton and sacrificed two years to build but instead they are repeating the same mistakes over and over again. long may it continue. 

[lamonti]

Whether or not Frenkie de Jong wants to be there, or is worth the big fee and enormous wages, or will make Man Utd good again, he's certainly a hell of a lot better than every other midfielder at their club.

But when he's surrounded by shite will he actually make that much difference?

Not a chance that he would drag that shower of shite up the table.

[rafathegaffa83]

He's 25 and being forced out of a club he wants be at. He'll be spending his prime at a club he seems to be very reluctant to join. Feel sorry for him in some respects. If his agent was smart he'd look to insert a contractual out by seasons two or three in the event Man Utd are still a mess.

Can't think of any club stupid enough to do something like that.

[Skeeve]

I think that's a little unfair, he could quite possibly drag them up as far as 6th if he joined them.

[Fromola]

I hope they get some big name in on 500k a week, or spew 100 mill on someone before we go there, or the fans will cause murder again.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Christian Eriksen is yet to be convinced that joining MUFC would be a better option for him than signing another contract with Brentford. [@MullockSMirror]

Drop a diamond into a cow pat.  It'll shine and glisten for a little while but within a couple of days it'll sink out of sight, and if it is found later it'll be caked in cack.

They are keeping their powder dry. Maybe they'll unite Ronaldo with Messi.

[Son of Spion]

I can't believe he's taking so long to decide.

He should be snapping Brentford's hand off.

[Crimson]

I can't believe he's taking so long to decide.

Footballing wise, yes he should. But United is probably willing to pay him 10 times more, so he has to decide what's most important at this stage of his career.

[PeterTheRed ...]

I can't believe he's taking so long to decide.

I think that he is waiting for an offer from Tottenham ...

[Tesco tearaway]

Can I have 10 number 6 please?

Fuck the toon.

I'll stick to the football thanks.

Then you should stop talking about Newcastle. They are disgrace to football, and clubs like that should not exist ...

[Dim Glas]

I'll stick to the football thanks.

And there is a great example of a big part of the problem with football fans following the PL.

Willing to turn a blind eye to something that is far more important than football.  Who wants to consider those uncomfortable questions eh. Just so long as we get to ‘enjoy’ the football.

Sportswashing works.

[phil236849]

Another struggling with the adult Disneyland pitch😂😂

[DangerScouse]

"Can't we just get on with the football." I've no time or respect for Lawrenson and like-minded fucking idiots.

Same.

[JRed]

I’m surprised Utd are struggling to get players in. I thought the re-signing of Howard Webb would encourage players to go there.

[CowboyKangaroo]

I'll stick to the football thanks.

Ew.

[Hoenheim]

I hope they do sign De Jong and give him 350k/week for the next 35 years, he will look like a donkey in that team

Get off your horse. You don't know anything about me. Thanks nonetheless. 

[beardsleyismessimk1]

Manchester United have rejected an attempt from Barcelona to sign England centre-back Harry Maguire, 29, as part of the deal to bring Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 25, to Old Trafford.


Silly season has started.

[beardsleyismessimk1]

"Can't we just get on with the football." I've no time or respect for Lawrenson and like-minded fucking idiots.

And I have no respect for idiots who have no idea about anything who jump on bad wagons screaming from the hill tops expecting everyone to listen to what they preach. But carry on with your condemnation

[CowboyKangaroo]

Get off your horse. You don't know anything about me. Thanks nonetheless.

That's fair enough. We don't know much about you - but I think its prima facie obvious that people should care about obscene evil interfering with the sport we love, and indeed by caring the evil itself enters our sphere of influence. Therefore, it falls on you to justify why you think that its appropriate not to care?

If you are concerned that we "have no idea about anything" let me know and I will be happy to give you my qualifications to care about human rights abuses.

[JackWard33]

The de Jong deal is nuts.
He's a quality player no question but how can anyone look at that squad and first team and decide that half your summer window budget (more?) should be spent on a top class attacking midfielder who can play CM but is a bit of a turnstile defensively ?

They should be better under a proper coach next season but there's a world in which its even more of a shit show
They've got this massive problem that I'm not sure will get addressed which is having a keeper that won't leave his line, ever, and a main centre back that wants to play on his 18 yard line then 2 6s who can't effectively progress the ball - its a squad to sit relatively deep and play on the counter, which Ten Haag definitely doesnt want to do
They need about 5 young, hungry players with window and to accept its a project... but obv thats not happening

[reddebs]

Did I take a wrong turn somewhere?  Wtfs happened and why are the murdering Saudi FC being discussed in the manc thread 🤷

Only way it makes any sense is if they are planning on spending a lot of money this window (and also cannot progress more than one target at a time)

The Saudis where taking the piss that their keeper and back 4 cost £81m when Maguire cost £85 million and thejbs pointed out that the money spent on their defence equates to £1m per person killed in the March mass execution in Saudi.
