BR0B0T Hoop Blah In this day and age I don't see that as too bad a figure to be honest.
He's been largely excellent and is probably just the type of player United need. His performance against City towards the end of last season was so good and he's at a great age to step up a level too.
Is he as good as VvD? Nope, I wouldn't say he is, but he's better than most central defenders who could be brought and he has experience of the Premier League and has performed well in it for 3 seasons. He isn't just a flash in the pan who's got lucky playing in a decent side for 6 months.
exactly my reasoning...would rather Koulibally, Varrane or Skriniar etc but they're difficult to get
Prem proven, dominant in the air and what you said!
I've read that Varrane's buy out clause is something like £400m. Good luck with that...
Koulibally looks like he'd be a great signing. Expensive, but looks the part. He'd likely cost a chunk more than Maguire, and there's the risk he might struggle to adapt to the Premier League, but on paper he'd probably be the first choice out of those that could be available for United.
