.. will hopefully lead to Wet Spam’s downfall
Personally think he would be a very good signing for West Ham, probably found his level.
He was never the standard of player a club like Man Utd should have signed but that's not his fault, the blame lies with United's poor recruitment.
McTominay would be a good signing for them as well, they've had a bid turned down for him.

Hopefully he won't, he's been brilliant for England and escaping Manure is good for him and the national side. He's been used as a scapegoat far too often... will hopefully lead to Wet Spam’s downfall

Can’t help but feel sorry for the guy, nobody should endure the abuse he gets, no matter how much money he earns as a footballer.
Then you get a bunch of bitter fans saying ‘I’d be happy getting abused for 150k a week’, as an attempt to justify it…embarrassing

I can't help but feel the problem was ManUre, rather than Maguire.

Decent player in the right system, but a stupid fee, no idea about club playing style and then making him captain we’re all diabolical decisions.
McTominay is another interesting one. Converted to midfield from striker by Mourinho because of his height, and looks lost as a defensive mid. Looks a decent player for Scotland when freed up. As he’s a Lancaster lad, I fully expect to see him in tangerine for the 2031/32 season after he’s recovered from his second acl injury.

If West Ham can get Maguire, McTominay and Ward-Prowse over the line, it'll be good use of the Rice sale funds. That said, they still look light up front with the sale of Scamaca. If City do nab Paquetta, it'll be a very dull team to watch.

He’s not a scapegoat, he’s poor in a back 4. He hasn’t got the pace or positional awareness to play effectively in a back four, especially one that plays a high line. The only reason he looks half decent for England is because in the bigger games, they play a back 5 where he’s got two other CBs to bail him out.
You can’t defend the indefensible.

That's just your opinion. There's a good reason Manure paid £80M, West Ham are happy to pay £30M and he gets selected for England every game. He was left exposed at United under poor managers with poor players around him. Then the boo boys and keyboard warriors made him their scapegoat. So yes, his form was affected. I for one hope United and 'Wish Pep' bomb this season and it would be great to see Maguire prove a lot of the doubters wrong.

West Ham have agreed a fee with Southampton for James Ward Prowse, his set pieces onto Maguire's massive swede and he could be in double figures this season.

It’s just your opinion as well. It just so happens that more people agree with me than they do with you. Read into that what you will….

Whilst he was vilified, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, he is bang average at that level.
Just because clubs pay silly money for you doesn’t mean you are that good,

So explain why he's been nothing short of excellent for England? He was excellent for Shef Utd and Leicester. The common denominator is Manure, not Maguire.
