Gonna get messy when we have to send 20% of Harry Maguire to Lille

Once you follow the links through it's nonsense, the Mirror story is Quoting the Independent as us monitoring Maguire and the Mail saying "United have also held discussions about the merits of Everton's Amadou Onana and Leeds United's Tyler Adams but those talks have not progressed." These articles are full of May, Might, Want, Could. Absolutely nothing in it, beyond Maguire has been made available and we have by the sounds of it expressed an interest but with our budget that would be a loan with the benefits being he doesn't not have to move and get first team football, And Onana will have been looked at by most of the top teams but as with Pickford and Branthwaite United tend to significantly under value what they think they would need to pay for our player, so i doubt there is anything more than looked at him.

Keeping an eye on the Jonny Evans situation at United, if he is available I would absolutely take him on a free - reads the game so well, underrated defender and suits a deep line like Dyche plays perfectly. Evans and Tarkowski would be solid, and keep the coffers for some forward players.

Did he not sign a short term deal with United?

 

[Simon Buttle]

He could be doing an awful lot better on selling players imo. If we're that broke then we need to shift as many fringe players as possible to get some finances flowing.

There will always be managers/clubs willing to take a chance on even the likes of a Keane but clubs don't want to match the utterly stupid wages we insist on paying our players (and rightly so) thus we end up stuck here with them running down their contracts.

20% of Maguire would be part of his head with plenty to spare

Not half as messy as a Maguire/Keane central defence pairing.

He did but it was only for the pre season don't know if anything else has been signed since then.

Runs out in a few weeks, it was to cover pre season. It’s unsure if he will be offered one for for the remainder of the season or not.

Could you imagine if Dyche ever needed to use a back 3.

Tarks, Maguire, Keane.

Dycheball wet dream.

Cant even switch the laptop on without Bing (or is it Crosby) flashing car crash Everton dealings on its feed from all sorts of two bit outfits. None of them mention that the conceited berk Maguire is on nearly £200k a week at United.

Tarkowski and Maguire are actually good players. A lot better than some of the CBs we’ve had recently. Tarkowski was great for us last season.

@Tofeenut can you please confirm or deny the Phil Jones thing

I can confirm Phil Jones is in my home made dog kennel under my stairs and thats where he's been since June.

I don’t deny tarks was great for us. I’m a big fan. And Maguire is certainly better than lots of defenders we have had.

But it’s a proper slow, clogger of a back line.
