January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[algy]

Alan Hutton has suggested Harry Maguire could join Aston Villa in the summer.

I have suggested Marry Maguire stay at Man Utd in the summer

To be fair to Alan he's probably still got PTSBD, post traumatic Steve Bruce disorder, and is worried we'll be short of centre halves and he'll have to play there again.

Made me laugh, anyway.  Poor bloke's been scarred for life.

Me too, so that's a 2-1 majority.

Yeah, well Hutton can take on 5 players and curl one in with his weaker foot! What a goal that was! One of the best ever!

He could also be incredibly shit for long periods...

Might be wrong, but I just can't see anything in the links with Maguire.  We've already got four senior centre halves (albeit one on loan) with another hopefully returning from injury soon. 

There could be questions around the quality of those options, but I don't think an addition there is a priority at the moment and certainly not at the kind of price Maguire would be.

I'd be absolutely amazed if we sign Maguire.

Oh I think we should be getting one, there definitely are questions around the quality of what we have. But just not him.

Can it be Pau Torres please?
PLEASE!

There's not a cat in hells chance we're signing maguire

[eamonn]

So can we stop talking about him?!

[Paul.S]

From what Emery has just said there may well be a few leaving us this month. I think he’s seen enough to start moulding the squad into what me wants now. Another wide player looks on the cards but whether that’s dependent on us shipping a few out isn’t clear. He clearly has a detailed plan and I’m confident that this time next season we’ll be in a much stronger position.
 I don’t expect massive difference in the lack of consistency this season. We have improved under Emery but there’s always a Stevenage style performance in this current squad. He’s a top coach and is the best chance we’ve had for years to actually achieve something.

Just got to back him to change it to what he wants. Look at Saliba and Guendouzi now as players. He took both to Arsenal. I suspect it may take 3-4 transfer windows to blend the future and the here and now, but he's too proven a coach to mess about with. Think patience will be the key.

[Ger Regan]

I hope he's backed further this window, would be a serious missed opportunity if not.

Good.

[Steve67]

Ludwig told he can leave then! Music to our ears.

[brontebilly]

Deulofeu would be a surprise I think. He's had a fairly nomadic career, the odd hot season like last season merged in with many more average ones. Flopped at Everton (not the first player to flop there) but one to swerve I'd say. Agent/paper talk I suspect.

[ChicagoLion]

I hope he's backed further this window, would be a serious missed opportunity if not.

I do as well, but I also hope this includes moving quite a few out.
Having too many players that are surplus to requirements just doesn’t work, this problem has been exacerbated by throwing away both cup competitions.
