Surely its a bit like Wan Bissaka?

Excellent in a deep defence...not good when playing a high line.

As i said before, could be good on a years loan if we could sell Keane and Holgate.

Otherwise, cant sign 30 year olds for decent money.

I’m not sure what you are getting at. man utd spent more than double what they should have on Wan Bissaka, so that’s a similarity. “Excellent” in a deep defence is a stretch, Keane can do that so it makes no sense to me spending even more wages and not solving any issue.
I’d honestly rather develop Branthwaite than have Maguire on insane wages.

Put Maguire in a deeper defensive line and he's a decent player. He's also one of the best players in the league aerially and his distribution is another level to any other defender we have.

Having said that, he's dead slow and earns about twice what our next highest earner gets.

Never happening

His slowness of thought and movement meaning that he gets caught in possession and out of position renders meaningless any attributes to a top half table team.

Mina + Keane wages = ÂŁ210k per week.

We could get Maguire for much less than that.

Utd will make up the difference in the wages, or pay him off. You could probably get his wages at a decent rate.
This is one where clubs could be smart and go, for 2 years we will give you ÂŁ50k weekly. Knowing full well if utd are forcing him out, for 2 years they will have to make it up. Then a 3rd year at a higher wage, depending on conditions.

I hope we don't go anywhere near him, but played right, its not the worst deal.

Great? We discussed him starting at Fulham not his pre-season apps so not sure what your angle was here.

Don't see why he couldn't be on the bench against Fulham if all goes well. Especially if he gets a few more minutes against Sporting.

Big difference between playing 20-30 mins and being expected to put in 90 mins without a full pre season.

Oh Branthwaite and Tarkowski all day for me

Im just saying that due to Uniteds system i think these two would look far more effective in a team playing a deeper defence.

Keane also of course who is still levels below Maguire.

I think Branthwaite will be competing with Colwill soon enough for a starting spot for England...but due to his height may even be the central of a 3.

Think it’s to do with a picture on Twitter with someone wearing what looks like our new away kit. It’s got the number 6 on it. It looks like Godfrey build from the picture. But if he is still wearing his old number it’s not him.

I think this is Onyango

He started and played 45 mins today. If he doesn't get injured he will at a minimum be in the squad for Fulham.
