20m bid by west hand for Maguire seems a little short as a fan 30m seems fair, supposedly they also made a verbal offer for mctominay, i'd probably say 70m for both or a package including add-ons around this figure would be fair.

Am I even close ed. or should I forget about the money haha.

How much did they get for Rice? McTominay is worth 45m in today's market all day long, and unlike a lot of players we look to sell he isn't on a ridiculously high wage which is prohibitive to many clubs.

Maguire is also worth a minimum of 35m for an England international starting CB in the prime of his career.

We should be getting a minimum of 80m for those two.

Prime of his career……. chuckle. I’d hate to see what he’s like when he fades! But I get your point. Definitely worth more despite his uselessness at United.

For how west ham play, maguire would be absolutely brilliant for them.

If i were WHU i would be playing hardball here.

He is on big wages, we need to raise funds to buy, he isn't a key player for us. It is known the manager isn't a big fan of him and he isn't going to play much.

There isn't likely to be a lot of takers here and he's also likely to cost more in wages than WHU would want to pay.

In these circumstances its smart by the hammers. I rather fancy they will have more options at a new CB than we will with buyers. Now don't get me wrong i think we should obviously get as much as possible but if i take my red tinted glasses off i can see West Ham may have a cery different take on the situation.

As an aside I think Moyes and WHU is an excellent move for Maguire.

Shappy Maguire is on a massive wage west ham won't be able to cover it all so you have to take a hit I think 30m for Maguire 40m for Scott maybe some bonuses if they get European football.

It can be spun to suggest Maguire is worth more than the £20m offered by West Ham by saying he's an England International with PL experience.

However, it can be spun the other way as well. He's a 30 year old, 5th choice CB, on huge wages who has just had the club captaincy taken off him as he's rarely going to start a game for United. Asking much more than West Ham offered in that scenario seems daft.

McTominay is exactly the same. He's at best 5th choice of our midfielders and it looks as though Mainoo may well have jumped ahead of him too. Again asking £40m for a player many fans would be more than happy to sell because they don't think he's good enough seems strange.

I agree with shappy regarding mctom if you look at recent midfielder sales he is worth about 40-50 mill considering his age and a full international.

With maguire though I think we will have to sell cheap due to his wages.

Does being a full international for Scotland make much difference to a players value, other than knowing most summers they should get a rest?
