In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Would be good move for everyone.
hmmm... not good.... They can't take from McTominay to fund Maguire... that's going to get rejected.
30m is solid offer for him, certainly more than I thought we could get for him. But I doubt it'll happen, because it'd be a good deal for United.
£30m for Maguire is more than I thought we'd get considering the wages he's on and the meme he's become. McTominay should not be sold for less than £40m. We may as well keep him for anything less.
I hope the £30m isn't based on £15m up front and £15m add ons like Maguire winning PL, CL and the Ballon do'r!!
Exactly. Maguire IMO is worth 35-40 mil and McTominay is worth 40-45 million, at least. I would be looking for a combined fee of at least 75 million, rising to 85 million with some not so hard to achieve add ons.
Would be uncharacteristically good business, as long as it's upfront and not addons. Maybe a tiny bit on the cheap side overall, but let's call it a discount for helping us get rid.
Take it and run, I say. Then get Todibo and Amrabat done. Good stuff. Clean.
I'd take it and run to be honest.
But considering they've upped their offer by £10m just like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the club push for a bit more.
West Ham are close to getting desperate aren't they?

Please accept. I beg you.
I've never seen that happen, nor ever even heard of a dog biting the hand off a human being. What a happy dog does, when they're not trying to mate with you, is stand up on their back legs and put their muddy front paws on you.
It's time to retire this saying.
Supposedly tabled a combined bid of £50m+ so just shuffled the values around a bit, but essentially coming up well short. Definitely isn't going to fly, as we're expecting at least £35m-£40m for McTominay alone.
What?
If McTominay, Fred and VdB leave, we’d need two midfielders. I’d like Lavia here.
50m is reasonable for Maguire and McTominay. We are where are and we have to prune the roster down and make room for Amrabat as a direct replacement for McTominay and whoever we have in the queue for Maguire. Do Fred as well (I like Fred a lot, but he's too inconsistent) and we're just about there, waiting to pounce for Kane once the calendar say September 1. It's my understanding that the transfer window closes the 11pm (BST) September 1 -- plenty of time to watch Levy grovel before us while publicly playing the masterful businessman his PR team have made him out to be.
I will have some of what you are smoking, mate. It is clearly some quality stuff!
Let's see.
As i said earlier, Fellaini and Baines vibes
Take Maguire's £30M and tell West Ham we can figure out Scott next. And then once Maguire is done say £45M for Scott. If they say no, keep Scott. Take the funds and buy Amrabat and give Evans a 1+1 deal to add cover.
If we sell DVB, we need the squad depth anyways. Eriksen, McTominay, Amrabat, Mainoo are good backups to have. Next year cut Eriksen loose & sell McTominay to fund Caicedo if Chelsea doesn't buy him this season.

If you need a good read/laugh the west ham forum is on fire atm someone posted this in response of Maguire being 30 ............."If we were signing a 30 year old Rio, Stam or Vidic would we complain? Experience is especially important for defenders. Ferguson had guys like Blanc playing for him deep in their 30s" 
50m is not reasonable for both. Blind desperation to bin off players from the same people who moan we are shit at selling.
It really isn't
Goodbye Harry. If we do not accept this we are incredibly foolish.

Whats funny about it?
£30 is more than reasonable. Get another £35 for McT we good to invest in 2 more players
If it is truly 30M then we should take it. I would be happy with 25M as long as we don't have to cover any of his salary.
The part which compares Maguire to Rio,stam and vidic.

Link please, I’ve got the popcorn ready.
well the article states its north of 50m and it really is a good deal if its clean. At 50m is a net gain of 47m on the books
Yeah, no chance of getting both for £50m
Valuing McT at £20m is a serious low ball offer, Southampton are asking for £30m for James Ward Prowse FFS
50m for both is depressingly low. But considering how all of our players are on higher than avg wages, we might have to accept a lower fee
50 million for both would not cut it, but I'd take 60 to be honest.
Don't think the poster is directly comparing the quality of Maguire to Rio etc.
Think it's talking about a player with experience for club and country, being a solid investment, rather than a risk on some younger player with 'potential'
Caf complains we don't sell well and at the same time happy to throw out Maguire and Scott out for 50M? 50M is close to being a disrespectful bid. 30M for Maguire maybe fine but then 20M for Scott? West Ham would themselves be asking 40M+ if the deal was the other way round.

Yeah I get it's due to the experience just made me laugh seeing their names included in that part sorry mate.
We should accept that, hopefully Harry is keen, as Southgate will want him to be playing regularly soon.
30m is a great deal for a 5th choice cb
