I don’t think that’s a thing anymore is it? Think you just need to be registered in the squad.
Maguire | he stays!

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.
5th choice, we care, he's a terrible fit, and he's barely adequate as 5th choice.
If he does not want the transfer he stays as 5th choice as the manager has said.
“The club want to sell him” yes but they are also happy to keep him in the squad.
He does not want the transfer. Again not true, he does but on the condition the club pays him severance. He’d like to be first choice and not lose his England place.
Thats the stance. If he wants to actually leave he’ll get no severance. Its his choice and this is far from being over
...and that's exactly what he does, how is that so hard to understand?!?
He says he has no intention to leave, if you want me gone you have to pay up.
Of course he would like to play elsewhere, but that's called negotiation tactics.
If both parties stand by their position, he'll stay here.
No, they failed because they're not very good at football..
It's not as hard to sell someone of laportes quality, even with his injury problems.
If it was "simples" why isn't everyone doing that?
No chance of that then
That was changed in 2011 - 5 is the number now
I think that as the window edges closer, and assuming West Ham haven't bought a player for that position, a deal will get done.
Have you not worked out that he does not want to leave?
The 10 appearances requirement has been scrapped and he appeared in 16 games for us last season anyway. It was never about ‘full’ games anyway.
He is a couple injuries away from being a starter. Varane is quite injury prone so it’s really about either Martinez or Lindelof being injured at the same time.
Not exactly. He wants to receive double wages from both clubs essentially.
If he doesn’t want to leave then we should freeze him until he changes his mind.
I wouldn’t pay his full wages to leave as this creates dangerous precedent. If he wants the pay check - ok, but it means no match practice.
I'm not talking about what he said in public, if it was SAF he would have called him into his office and told him either you feck of or train with the under 19 team.
Get the contact details of that guy who made that Michael Owen brochure.
Because clubs cave into agents and players demands...if a few of the bigger ones stopped doing it then others may follow suit.
While it continues clubs can be stuck with a rapidly diminished asset for 4-5 yrs so it is in their interest to change it.
And Lindelof has a long-term back problem
“Toughest opponent i’ve ever faced” - David de Gea
FFP plays a part but it's swings and roundabouts, it's harder to get rid of the ones you want to get rid of with longer contacts but it also makes it harder to keep the ones you do want to if they're on shorter contracts
No, we live in the real worldBunch of killjoys, all of you.
Well, it probably helped.
They could offer another 3yr contract to a player in their 2nd year if th player is performing because offering these 5-6 yr contracts from the outset is madness IMO
I had completely forgotten that blue shirt with yellow shorts kit. Half these moments feel like a lifetime ago. Some of the incidents I don't blame him for, like the two deflected goals, but beyond those it's a telling compilation.
In the long run that costs the club more money because the new contract will be worth more, if it wasn't the player wouldn't sign it and leave for nothing
We shall see. Like I said if thats the case he’ll stay and not get severance.
And like I said we don’t know what hes said to him
I'm seeing a lot of these Fergie would have done this and that posts but I have to disagree.
Fergie had a lot (if not all) the clout in transfers back in the day and used to sell a lot of unwanted players for well below their market value in order to get them out of the club. He would have probably convinced the board to agree to the pay off.
I think one of the reasons that we're poor sellers is a hangover from the Fergie era.
It was a different world back then, FFP wasn't around and that's a big influence now on what you can and can't do regarding transfers
But at least we would know if the player is worth it or not.
Harry is that you?Worse than Bailly
It's Pep
Like a new signing
He even made veghorst look good.
The right place at the right time mate?
Everytime i see his face on the bench or playing, i feel like im going to throw up.
Sick of the guy.
I can’t see a u-turn here. The quotes from the Maguire camp certainly makes it sound like he’s set here for the season.
I defended him before this, especially with the whole booing malarkey. All he’s done is given the boo-army more ammunition. The tool doesn’t help himself.

He’s going to be more popular than ever after this debacle.
Yeah I'm sure you would leave the money on the table in the same position. As someone else mentioned, he's not exactly been on big money his whole career.
