We are delighted to announce the signing of Marvelous Nakamba for an undisclosed fee.
 
Leicester and Brendan have played an absolute blinder with this Maguire deal.

Never discount the propensity for a desperate fool to be parted from his money.

Wait! Solskjaer has an impact on Utd’s transfers but Rodgers doesn’t Leicester’s?

Thats quite presumptuous z.

Rodgers tends to stay out of transfers for the most. I can tell you that from interviewing him on Friday. He was staying away from the Maguire deal

Poor state of affairs then for him if he doesn’t have the final say so.

One would have thought he’d had enough of working handicapped at Anfield.

Or most anyone regardless of who the club was to pay that for a good, but far from difference making, CH.

If it wasn't for Maguire's goal at Anfield.... you'd have won the PL title. I'd say that he is quite the difference maker.

If Martin Atkinson could ever make a decision to save his life he wouldn’t have been on the pitch to score it. ;)

All relative but ultimately a redundant discussion as that was last year and the new top flight season kicks off in a mere 2 days.
 
Ah crud. Talking Atkinson reminds me there’s going to be VAR on Sunday isn’t there?

We’ll be lucky to have the game finish by 7!
 
Well Liverpool payed pretty much the same for VVD, and he's been a huge upgrade. Maguire had at least as good couple of seasons as VVD, plus he's better with NT.

Behave mate hey? van Dijk was already among the top CH's in the league on a massive upward trajectory before we signed him. Had he not let it be known from the outset he only wanted to play in one place, there'd have been an outright bidding war between the top 6. Doubtless Utd included. He's just continued on that path at ours. You'd be struggling to put Maguire in the top 6 CH's in the league currently,

And this sounds like I don't like him. I do, He's a good, solid defender who instantly upgrades Utd. (Not that that's hard like as Sakho would upgrade on Jones on Smalling.). But when you're paying World record difference making money, that's what you expect. Not just 'good.' He's the type that takes you into the bracket of challenging for top 4. But if you've aspirations for ever challenging for the biggest prizes again, he's not the type to take you over the top.

Koulibaly's arriving for that? Or to a lesser extent de Ligt? You're sitting up and taking notice. Even Toby at his later stage of his career. Maguire it's just a 'meh.'

That's two of the top 6 most expensive defenders in history this summer. And will they improve the side to anything like that?

Leicester replace him with say Dunk and Cahill for a season or two, with the extra in the bank, they've done a roaring piece of business IMHO with out a greatly significant drop-off.

Who would have been £20 million or so less than the extra he eventually cost 5 months removed down to who ever's stupidity it was that exepnsively cost us by over stepping the mark and rubbing Southampton's nose in it publicly and P them right off.
 
Have to agree on Scous here. Yes VVD money was also crazy but he was living up to the hype and was huge for Southampton.

Maguieri with price tag 85mil just seems off... Maybe he will probve wrong but the pressure is huge and definetly upgrade in everysense from united defensive view. +Eng tax

It is just good to have basically endless pockets
