Both strategies carry risk. Though I think we’ve veered too much towards “speculative, might come to something might not” sort of signings. You end up with what we have, which is a large squad full of closely matched, functional players, who are lacking in match winning quality and are dull to...
Friday = u23's rubbish against Crawley
Saturday = first team rubbish against Fulham
Sunday = we basically give away Knocky to Fulham
Monday = .......................................................
So what about this line of logic
De Light is today going to Juventus for £65m
This was one of the more likely destinations for Pogba
Pogba is now more likely to stay at Man U
Man U are less likely to have a large sum of money readily available for Maguire
Maguire stays at Leicester
Dunk Stays...
I don't think Dunky will do this. I'm aware that there was some talk of dissatisfaction earlier in his career, but not now. I think it's more a case that we won't stand in his way if he does want the move. TB will play hardball for the fee, but ultimately let him go, which I think is the...
Yes, this is an important point. At the highest level (of any market) you pay much more for not much improvement. So Maguire might be 1% better than Dunk, but this makes him twice the market value.
If Team A has 11 players who are all 1% better than the players in Team B, that will...
Clearly this seems to be being strongly reported, but there seems to be a few links in the chain and if any one of those goes wrong then the transfer collapses. There are a few known unknowns.
Such as
Can Man U finance £80million for Maguire without selling Pogba?
Would Leicester definitely...
It's still more likely not to happen than to happen, but I agree with the sentiment that we shouldn't stand in his way if a decent offer comes in and he wants to progress his career elsewhere
The way I see this is that there's about a 50/50 chance that this Maguire to Man U goes through. Then there's another 50/50 chance that Leicester decide Dunk should be a replacement. If they do decide this, then he's gone.
Bloom will initially play hardball to up the fee and might turn down a...
Don't agree at all.
A move to Leicester guarantees his place in the Premier League, all but guarantees a starting place in a top half team, gives him a much improved chance of getting into the England squad, gives him an outside chance of European football in the next few years, and gives him...
