Summer transfer window 2023

[Noisy noise annoys]

It's definitely pessimistic but I wouldn't say it's pathetic. It's a poor squad that's faced successive relegation battles and is in desperate need of a goalscorer.

Relegation isn't a certainty but it's hardly beyond the realms of possibility.

It is pathetic. It is possible, obviously, not a certainty by any means. The guy needs to grow some

It's August ffs. The third year in a row of these wimps

If his contract isn't up, why would he take a wage cut ?

Maybe United take a loss and cover some of them - but he's not going to personally / voluntarily lose money is he ?

His ego will take a massive hit coming here, so he will either stay on big money, or want to be compensated to come here. Your not getting him for less than £130k, especially as others are on similar.

adams & maguire signing would make this window a 10

More like a Windows XP than a Windows 10.

 

[Furey1878]

signing harry maguire is stupid

we need to offload at least 3 centre backs before we bring in the big oaf on his ludicrous wages and it takes us about 3 years to do a deal so we will never offload holgate, godfrey and keane before the end of the window

He's better than what we've got, wouldn't mind him as a Mina replacement in principle but given the age and the wages it's a no from me. I'd take a loan though.

Stand down on the Maguire talk, West Ham are apparently close to signing both him and McTominay

 

[Walken]

WE ARE NOT SIGNING HARRY MAGUIRE, YOU RAVING LUNATICS.

But what about the frog leaping???

 

[Furey1878]

Their Saudi backers have gave them inflated fees for surplus players to balance the books

Fixed that for you mate

United fans now saying a Maguire Branthwaite swap is on the cards.

Anyone who wants Maguire at Everton should get used to this idea, because, whether it's a direct swap or not, the only way we could finance Maguire is to cash in on Branthwaite.

 

[jonnyboy316]

That is hilarious

It would not shock me. Sacrificing our future for today

Majority of posters on here would be happy to offer Mina his £120k a week if he could stay even half fit.
If we got Maguire for there or thereabouts that wage then he would be an upgrade on Mina and he's never had much of an issue with injuries.
But it would need to be a loan.
Him and Tarks would do well together and allow Branthwaite to come in gradually.

That's the only outcome if this did happen still think wages would be a massive sticking point

 

[b-rad]

We conceded lots of goals though

7 teams conceded more than us last year.
Only 1 scored fewer than us.

 

[derek duvall]

I cant believe some people dont believe Maguire would be an asset in our defence.

How many recent cast off's from the Scab 6 do we need to have fail for us before we realise it's a completely stupid idea...

Schneiderlin, Walcott, Delph, Van de Beek, Iwobi, Alli examples of players deemed were better then what we had, as asset BUT all failed miserably, costing the club millions and eventually left for nothing. This type idiotic decision making from the board is why were a complete shambles on and off the pitch. Maguire would be another.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

In which case I really don’t know why they don’t just settle up with Moyes and move on. If the hierarchy want young progressive signings you need the manager for it, and he did have a squad too talented for a relegation battle right in one last season.

He saved himself in Europe but maybe that success should’ve been an opportunity to part ways on good terms.

And lo and behold. These sort of situations usually end one way.

 

[get-your-coat-on]

Tea pot very nearly brewed.

I love the fact you've gone full cryptic overlord.
