Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[Gaz123456]

They'll probably try to engineer a swap of Ronaldo for Messi - now which team would have to pay a bit extra to balance the transfer out? 

[TepidT2O]

Erikson has agreed to go there.

This is such a weird deal for them, it really is. It makes no long term sense at all.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

The bedwetting (and I use that term in the strongest possible sense) from some posters on here last summer when they'd signed Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo was absolutely bonkers and deserves to be cemented in RAWK folklore.

I remember when they beat West Ham last year after a dodgy penalty and then Noble missing the pen in the last minute.

Genuine fear from a large portion of people that United, despite being obviously shit, would win the league on the back of spawniness, referee's, and Ronaldo.

Not long after I believe we played them at Old Trafford which thankfully shut it all up

[Ray K]

They just signed Tyrell Malacia.

Wasn't he in Game of Thrones?

[ScouserAtHeart]

I don't care if he leaves, but if he goes on tour I'll be happy. I got tickets to the Victory game purely because of the chance to see him live, I'll be devastated if I have to watch these other losers.

Best fans in the world

I don't think it's that bad. He's better than what they have so for that reason alone they might as well do it.

But it’s utterly random. Is so odd

How does he fit in with Bruno Fernandes as well in their side? Both luxury players who need a team built around them.

For all Eriksen is a tidy player, even at his peak he was slow and could be hit and miss. He's not the profile of player they need. Similar to when they signed Mata.

I think Eriksen was better served being the big fish in a small pond with a team built around him at Brentford. He's gone for the big offer though. Improves the squad at least and perhaps the team.

[JackWard33]

just keep buying non physical AMs ……. you can’t have too many apparently

[newterp]

I guess you can't blame Eriksen for getting one massive last pay day.

[jonkrux]

Eriksen is a good signing for them providing they buy one or two defensive minded midfielders. He is probably a rotation option with Bruno you'd think.
They still need 2 forwards and a couple of defenders too.
Miles behind.

It’s a good signing for them although I cannot see him and Bruno playing at the same time. Both demand to be the main playmaker and one would have to give way.

I had also hoped for Eriksen to show a bit more loyalty to a club that resurrected his career. So for him to jump ship at the first sign of a larger pay check is quite disappointing.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

A 3 year contract seems a bit odd as well, given his age and medical history. I guess they were desperate to beat Brentford to his signature.

[Black Bull Nova]

Shame about Eriksen, a bit like the Larssen signing, don't like it when they take on players I quite like (and lose Ronaldo and Pogba), makes it harder to dislike the team itself

[Mozology]

It seems Ten Had has prioritised the "only Utd player I've never really hated" role vacated by Mata.

Fucking joke of a club. 

[jillcwhomever]

Eriksen is obviously getting a shed load of money so from his position, I can understand it. But from United's position it makes no sense at all, what are they actually trying to build here? There seems to be little sense being applied in any of their signings so far. 

[Mister Flip Flop]

Bizarre move for United to make. Erikson is as slow as they come and they desperately need legs in that team. As sidewards a signing as you'll ever see.

[Nick110581]

Eriksen is good but doubt he starts.

[Mozology]

No matter who they buy the likes of De Gea, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, Rashford will still be playing 40+ games for them next season. That's half an Everton side in all but name.

Their transfer strategy, as far as I can tell, consists solely of a chart with the question 'Have you played for Ajax?'.

[tubby]

That's a really weird move from all parties.

[Schmidt]

They were in serious threat of relegation when he joined to be fair, they didn't bring him in to be charitable, they thought he could improve them and he did.

[jillcwhomever]

That's a really weird move from all parties.

Come on, this is United they will be paying him a huge wage.

[lamonti]

Absolute fucking shambles hahahaha

Ten Hag has such an open goal here to drive Ronaldo out of the club and establish himself as his own man, and tell the fans you can want the past or you want the future, you can't have both. If he doesn't have the balls to get rid of that absolute disaster of a signing who literally couldn't give a shit about the team, unlikely to really make any much more difficult decisions.

Signing Eriksen... random. Decent footballer obviously, but if he plays, van de Beek and Bruno don't play. Pissing more money down the drain on another player well past his best.

This is fucking great.

[SamLad]

Ronaldo leaving is obv good for them on the pitch, Ten Haag will be delighted if he moves - big picture
The big question is which CL club would want him?!
Also they appear to have not planned for it (??) so they’re really short of fire power

Chelsea.  Boehly is their DOF, remember.

[lamonti]

Brentford and Eriksen have played Utd here. 3-year deal.... EYES EMOJI.

[SamLad]

Brentford get sweet fuckall out of it, he's not on contract with them.

[lamonti]

Ah well then it was just a brilliant move by Eriksen and his agent: "I'll sign for Brentford."

Man Utd: "Oh shit we can't get beaten to a signing by Brentford, think of the fan sentiment measurements. Let's offer a three year deal."

[jillcwhomever]

Ronaldo and Neymar have already been offered to Chelsea.

[lamonti]

I'm doing quite a bit of hate-watching of this absolute fucking prick Stephen Howson.

[gerrardisgod]

Is he still charging people to have a pint with him?

The fucking helmet.

[idontknow]

No.
In fact, anything they do makes them more dislikeable to me.
I'm proud of that.
I did quite like Sammy McIlroy but I was young and he looked the kind of man who chewed the end off lit fireworks.
Other than that, No.

[idontknow]

Ronaldo and Neymar have already been offered to Chelsea.

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Please please please
Oh yeah make it happen
Shake it
Shake it
Oh yeeah
Give it to me
Give it to me
Yeah oh yeah
I'm so horny
I could scream

[fredfrop]

Chelsea going for the Blurred Lines boys...

[xbugawugax]

absolutely brilliant transfer to be honest.

how much is brentford getting?

nothing they do makes any sense anymore..absolutely glorious.

love to see what rats face opinion on this signing..seem he like to have an opinion on every fuck thing under the sun.

He think's it's the perfect signing with Fernandes not being good enough (despite him praising him as the greatest man ever a year ago), and that this signing shows the footballing world why Liverpool won't be in the top 4 next season.

Probably something like that

[Wullie160975]

Ronaldo for Neymar instead maybe?

[Garlicbread]

Ornstein reporting that Chelsea are very interested in signing Ronaldo.

[El Lobo]

Absolutely baffling transfer activity in the PL this summer so far. Phillips to Abu Dhabi? The Pigeon to Spurs? Jesus to Arsenal? Eriksen to United? Ronaldo to Chelsea?
