Fergie sacrificing Jonathan Greening’s placenta to Baron Samedi has finally fucked us in the lindt box
By Laboured Go To PostUnited fans conflicted about being upset losing out on a player to City or happy they didn’t overpay for Maguire or mad they wasted time trying to sign him in the first place.
Is it just me that rates Maguire? I’d be happy if we spent near VVD price tbh. Doesn’t mean he’s WORTH that or as good, but that’s the market and he’s far better than what we have, knows the league, young, good on the ball and physically...
Must be something behind Jose, Pep, Southgate, Rodgers et al rating him so highly

Very comfortable on the ball and effective in both boxes. We are stupid to not go for him. Just as we were when he was offered to us for £12m.

Unless we have another CB in mind or Ole actually wants to play Tuanzebe/Bailly.
By Laboured Go To PostHold on.
We knew last year when we went for Maguire that the fee would be at least £60m. And this year we bid £40m? We are run by buffoons.

It's just this little thing Ed Woodward likes to call "negotiation".
maguire is shite by international standards, managers are just desperate for competent english defenders. really hope we don't get him. step up your game united.

Had a really good world cup I thought.
By Ciaran Ashina Go To Postyou guys hyped for Marco Giampaolo? The first decent manager since…I dunno when!Of everyone we've been linked with, Giampaolo seems the best fit with the squad as is on a technical level. I'm just relieved it didn't end up being S. Inzaghi or Mad Max 2: Fury Bench
He was supposed to be our manager years ago but pulled out at the last second allegedly. He oozes serenity, reminds me a bit of Allegri before he went completely insane.
With management finally sorted, club can focus fully on transfers. Maldini needs to bring in a cm to replace Baka and a forward to partner Piatek. I've seen some rumors regarding a possible swap deal with Roma for Schick. Wouldn't mind taking a punt. He exploded under Giampaolo, maybe he can help resuscitate his career.

The problem with Maguire is not really the player but our incompetence. We've been bouncing between the same two names for four windows under two different managers. I'm all for anyone who comes in and benches Smalling and locks Jones in a basement without food and water, but you have to wonder what's the point when we wouldn't buy Maguire for Mou at a lower price a year ago and we are still balking at the price to cover probably the most important position we need in our team.
If we really wanted a top CB then the groundwork would have to be done months in anticipation. Instead we made no efforts to entice or contact our intendeds like Kouli, then balked at the price after we did nothing to prevent him from signing a 5y contract this year, then went on a wild goose chase with the best CB prospect of the last decade, then we went back to square one having learned nothing from it.

By Scum Go To PostMaguire this. De Ligt that. You can pick up Toby for £25m.Right? We should have that one done regardless. I expect the wages is the reason we aren't but fucking hell...
Dead Woodward OUT
Scummo IN
By inky Go To PostRight? We should have that one done regardless. I expect the wages is the reason we aren't but fucking hell…Bollocks to the wages. Unfortunately, this will be a thing for Utd. Better to give Toby that £200k a week instead of giving it to Rashford. Get rid of Young & Jones, and there’s your £200k a week back.
Dead Woodward OUT
Scummo IN
By Cleff Go To PostLook at all these players Madrid would rather sign than Pogba.Zidane playing 4D Chess..
Sell Llorente, get De Light so Ramos can be move up to DM.
In actually real news:
Happy to see Raúl back with the team.
By Scum Go To PostMaguire this. De Ligt that. You can pick up Toby for £25m.
Where can I pick him up? Omw
By Linius Go To PostWhere can I pick him up? OmwBring De Ligt with you, m8. Toby out.

Someone needs to come before late July as well otherwise he’s not going for £25 million. I imagine someone might come after that and try to lowball us, but that’s not going to work.
By Scum Go To PostBring De Ligt with you, m8. Toby out.
If you bring me Toby and 60 million we can start a conversation.
Boy I wish Matthijs would just stay another year. The lad is just 19, got his whole career in front of him still.
Kamil Grabara with another impressive performance. Been great in the Danish league as well, although obviously take that for what you want. Think he got potential to be a pretty decent premier league keeper though, or a very good backup for Liverpool
By inky Go To PostVVD/pognaldum was reading that one as well.
Not sure how you can read your teammates book with a straight face.
By inky Go To PostLooks like he's reading the Man Utd chapter
By Frustrated_me Go To PostHide dem ladies.
I love that Newcastle kit.. a shame the sponsor is just so fucking big. If it were slightly smaller and still as garish design wise it might not be too bad.
Maguire is quite good in my opinion. Massive head, which is important in both boxes.
De Ligt can piss off, the gimp. Flirting around like the girl at the dance who’ll never actually neck anyone. Except this time he will neck the person that gives him £350k per week.

I would be fine with Maguire, I just don't see him as a £70-80m player. £50m and I'd think why not. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out I guess.
Alderweireld at £25m would be perfect for City. Bring him in as a veteran option for the next few seasons.

How many central midfielders do Juventus need? In the last 12 months they’ve picked up Can, Ramsey and now Rabiot. I get that they’re free, but you still have to pay them a lot of money and put them in a squad.
And they want Pogba?
Did they even have any midfielders? Did I dream up the existence of Blaise Matuidi? Is Pjanic a manifestation of my mind combining my great love of football with a character from Hobbiton?
