Also, the rumour is 60m plus 20m in add-ons, but that just doesn't sound as dramatic, right? Always glass half empty these days ...
I'd love to have Maguire at United. He's a beast in the air and really good with the ball, and a back four of Wan-Bissaka/Lindelof/Maguire/Shaw would be a huge improvement over last year and also has a lot of upside still. So I hope it happens. It's a ton of money, but hey, it's a crazy market. Tyrone frigging Mings costs 20m plus 6m in add-ons, that's how effed up things are. Clubs just don't need the money and won't sell unless it's a ridiculous offer, and it won't change anytime soon. Mmight as well accept that.

The add-on’s are just delayed payment, never heard those not being quantified as money. These fees just further inflate, what the club is asked for “above average” players. Van Dijk was absolutely better than Maguire the year before their transfers.
Embarrassing, apologetic revisionism.
Media blows up Maguire after the WC, and naturally being English inflates his value. Yes he’s good, not highest CB transfer ever good.
Lindelof in there, is sobering also.

Wage structure is out of control with De Gea asking for significantly more than Sanchez's 350k/week.

They need to put a cap on it and say that was a huge mistake which won't be happening again.
They've gotta farm Sanchez out somewhere. Having that Pos in the dressing room with players looking over and seeing his wages leads to nothing but resentment.
I'm more interested in and will judge the off season by who they get rid of just as much as who they bring in. Could care less if Maguire comes at that price.

Apparently Sanchez is getting the chance at #9, with Lukakus departure. Lol
I’d rather have Zidane’s problem with Bale.
If De Gea doesn’t sign, needs to be sold within the year.
