He's not progressed at all. In fact gone backwards from the player he looked liked he'd be.
How he is in the England team is beyond me, particularly when you look at the form of Maddison.

That's a yes from me. Maguire would a big loss but the combined abilities of the other two are impossible to ignore, particularly Tielemans.
If we had those two, we'd cover the benefit of Maguire's marauding forward runs. And quite possibly conceded less goals, though many will disagree with me...

I thought the same thing.
We'll be signing Messi next....
(please note I am not comparing Lukaku to Messi).

Reports suggest the Red Devils could offer up their Brazilian midfielder in a player-plus-cash deal this summer

It's just a little speculation in the speculation thread. I don't see it as ridiculous.
Lukaku is being touted around for sale and his owning team are trying to sign Maguire and supposedly offering a player exchange.
I'm not remotely interested in their awful cast offs but we need a forward / more goals in the team and he'll be a great signing for someone. Man Utd have ruined an excellent forward.
Him and Vardy would petrify most defences. Surely we're a better option for him than the desperate Italian league?

"another central defender in Youri Tielemans is on City's list for the summer."
The article was written by a newish "journalist" at the mockery, Jamie Kemble. Every time I've read one of his articles I've noticed errors. He's clueless. If they're going to employ idiots, they could at least employ idiots who know something about the club and its history.

Let me get this straight. They get rid of some of their dead wood in exchange for somebody who has been an integral part of our set-up? Seems fair enough to me.

Sources: Utd £40m short of Maguire valuation
Manchester United and Leicester City are £40 million apart on their valuation of Harry Maguire, sources have told ESPN FC.

This is a rumours thread?
That small, but massively important fact aside, Lukaku? Mental.

true its almost certainly total bullshit but if offered a straight swap of Lukaku for Maguire I'd be tempted

+£20m to us. That would be a great deal for both sides.
We need another forward. We need guaranteed goals. Pace, aggression, strong finisher, physical presence. Takes the pressure off a soon to be 33 year old Vardy. Since 2012, he's got 129 goals in 262 appearances. He would be a fantastic signing.
We really don't need Maguire that much. I maintain that he was pretty average last season apart from a couple of barnstorming performances. We were often more solid defensively when he wasn't playing. I'll happily take either Benkovic or Soyuncu alongside Evans.

Why? Lukaku has been poor for United but was superb at Everton and would solve our need for a striker to compete/play with Vardy
CB is the one position we have plenty of depth in
