I know he was absolute dog toffee for Man Utd (especially under ETH), but I feel like West Ham’s defensive set up is more suited towards Maguire and this’ll be a) the catalyst he needs to be a top CB again and, b) his way of potentially keeping his England place
I expect the same outcome, similar to Smalling he’ll thrive under a different system
disagree, at the end of 20/21 when he got injured before the EL final, United fans were worried of facing Villareal without our best defender.
stuff went down in 21/22, other than the bad season he handled criticism poorly, ultimately leading to some cunt calling in a bomb threat on his family and he hasn’t really recovered since.
he deserves to go somewhere where he won’t be in constant limelight and maybe the stupid memes can die off
Am I wrong in thinking this is a pretty big overpay for him? He hasn’t been good for a good while now and he’s 30. Yes, United’s system was shit for him and yes, he’s on the national team, but still. 30 seems like a big number.
he is still good, he just can’t handle the pressure of playing for Man United anymore.
at West Ham he will be a guaranteed starter, he has great passing ability and he doesn’t really get injured or misses games, at United from his signing to his first Injury at the end of the 20/21 season he played like 78-79 games in a row.
he won’t have a resale value though.
they are also signing JWP so maguire is another option for them for headed goals, he didn’t have a great scoring record for United but dor England he is pretty good.
