Yeah he was being talked about in Viera/Yaya terms. Shame injuries held him back although I seem to remember even before that he was struggling to make an impression.

Maguire doesn't want to leave...Think Man U need to sell before they can buy?

They choose the most middling option that pleases absolutely nobody. Great. And of course Maguire doesn't wanna go. But that's a mess of our own making, it has to be sorted quickly.

Sounds like shite paper talk. He played about 10 games all season. He will want out.

He also seems to be auto picked for England.

It's pretty standard for us. Most players who left us in recent times have done cause they're out of contract.
Will not surprise me if Maguire won't leave. At best we will probably end up loaning him out and paying half the wage still.

Money aside I wonder how much the ego is saying “I’m a Man U player I’m not dropping down to the kind of bottomfeeder who’d actually consider signing me” Maybe he could go to Wrexham.

He also seems to be auto picked for England. Surely that can't continue though. I know Southgate has fallen into the trap of having his favourites, but it must become impossible for him to keep picking him at some point. Right? Surely there has to be some professional pride that said if there is a suitable way out for him he would take it? I'd imagine there'd be some mid-lower tier prem teams who'd take him on (hopefully not us though). Yes he'd take a pay cut but he can't be short of a few quid.

I remember Southgate saying he would only pick on merit and form. That lasted long.

I did see a good point on that recently though, which is that national squads get so little time together that you have to have some consistency in selection otherwise they'd never gel as a team. Some truth in that surely.

There must come a point where it just can't continue though. There are so many better options out there who are playing regularly.

Some truth in that surely. That's a fair point, but it can only be stretched so far. If someone is never playing and is so out of form, that will start to outweigh the benefit you get from that consistency.

Some truth in that surely. Yeah, I did think that as I posted it, but thought fuck it, it suited my point to ignore it! Surely there's a line though - not getting any game time, especially as a keeper or defender, must rule you out. It's daft. Edit: I see Rob has beaten me to it. Stupid work.

Yeah, the very minimal requirement for national selection needs to be that you actually play games for your club side regularly

So Newcastle have a new £25m shirt sponsor from a Saudi business whose website looked like this a week ago.

Think this tells us exactly where the case against the original cheats is likely to go.

So a club majority owned by PIF is being sponsored by a company majority owned by PIF? That looks legit.

Doesn't quite break into the top 3, of course it will take some effort yet to top a tinpot club claiming a profit during a worldwide pandemic.

It's very hard to drop down from League 2 so they've done the hardest part. Wasn't that hard for Aldershot Town, unfortunately.
