Maguire has agreed personal terms. The fee is actually £30m plus £5m in add ons. Done deal. Will be announced soon.

Higher than high. He was a crock during his prime years in a low intensity league. He'd be eaten alive in the Prem. Man would be at his sisters house for 7 months of the season.

And Neymar has proven that he can't. He hasn't managed more than 22 league apps in a season since 2017.

£30m for Maguire and £35m for McTominay. Maguire offer accepted. Looks like we'll push for more for McTominay.

I see a lot of people saying this, but Maguire is on £190k. That isn't mega money these days. West Ham will probably offer £150k and have him top earner along with Paqueta.

£30m bid accepted for Maguire.

Should be made admin for posting a picture of the GOAT.

He'll love it. More minutes for Bruno Fernandes. Maybe he can break 6000 this year.

It's standard. He thinks he's some marauding full back. He's constantly caught out of position and doesn't have the pace to recover. I feel sorry for him at this point though. He did improve us when he came in. His confidence must be shot to pieces though. Was a bit disgusted at those plastic Irish fans booing him yesterday.

Maguire does this every time he plays for us now. he has to go. He's under far too much pressure.

Correct. It's also a friendly.

7 year deal for Sanchez.

I was waiting on Bednarek as well. clicked into the match and noticed all the yellows. Just laughed when he wasn't one of them.

I used to think he was great but over the last year I've got a really strong source for us who always beats Romano to news, yet Romano posts like he's the only one with news. It's made me dislike him a lot.

Bid of £26m plus add ons has been submitted for Amrabat. Can only assume Fred's departure is very close.

I agree, which is why I think if we do plan to keep him that we'll send him out on loan for a season.

I would think Casemiro, Mount and Bruno would be fine against most teams. Casemiro and Amrabat would likely play together against the likes of City.

Yes all the key witnesses withdrew but the CPS also said new evidence came to light as well. He did it, but them saying they dropped charges because new evidence came to light doesn't help matters. You know dickheads will jump all over that.

Inevitable of course. The fact the CPS said they dropped the case due to withdrawal of witnesses and "new evidence" means people can run riot with it, but you can't erase the pictures and voice recording. His only saving grace is that he was 19/20 at the time. A kid. I was thinking the club would announce some sort of rehabilitation to help him but they can't do that either because he has committed no crime in the eyes of the law. It's just a messy situation.

McTominay and Sabitzer maybe looks stronger on paper than some midfields but it's lacking in so many areas, especially defensively. Casemiro and Eriksen instead is on a completely different level. I reckon by the time the window closes our midfield 5 will be Casemiro, Eriksen, Mount, McTominay and Amrabat. There was a strong chance of us selling McTominay but Mainoo getting injured will buy him another 6-12 months I'd say. Fred is certain to leave, and van de Beek will likely leave although I think Socieded have pulled out due to fitness concerns.

Announcement tomorrow is what I I've been hearing. Allegedly the Hojlund announcement has been postponed until the weekend. Announce Greenwood is staying, people go mad, then announce Hojlund, and people focus on that. It would be pretty bold. @TheDarkKnight you going to take that mate?

That's probably true aye. But you would demolish most teams who were missing their starting midfield and their only defensive midfielder. It's why I think Amrabat is an important signing once Fred/van de Beek are moved on. We need more steel in the midfielder and are far too reliant on Casemiro.

To be fair we had Sabitzer and McTominay in midfield and Weghorst up top. That'll be Casemiro, Mount and Hojlund next season. Probably something to do with it.
