Instant price bump to 100m only to settle at 55 and the Caf calls it a win is my prediction.

I'm a big fan of Max Kilman. If the price is reasonable I'd be happy with the signing
1) INEOS are assembling a structure to prevent us getting rinsed in the transfer market like we did previously.
2) This isn't Mason Mount. This is a CB at Wolves.
I would hope we could have cast the net a good bit further than this but it’s true that they are all younger fitter and more aggressive players and will be on much lower wages. Are they good enough though?
Mainoo rinsed him, do not want
Looked on a couple of Wolves forums and they seem quite happy at this prospect. They seem to think 30/40m would be a good deal for them.
I'm convinced journalist do not want United back on top , he looks average whenever i saw him play
Why are we suddenly linked with these mediocre CBs like Kilman or Adarabioyo? I get that Maguire and Lindelof are not good enough, but they are still better than these guys.
Don't think Maguire is a bad player, just not in the team playing the way the fans want the team to play. A more defensive set up where possession isn't the be all and end all would suit him. We want a team that can keep possession.
Yea I understand, but then we should replace him with that kind of defenders, not old school CBs just because they are "EPL proven". I really don't understand what Adarabioyo would bring us other than that he'd be a free signing. He's quite error-prone and he didn't give me the impression of a player who is suited for possession-based football. Same with Kilman, who'd even cost some money. I'd rather keep one of Lindelof/Maguire for one more year than waste money and spot on a player that would be a downgrade. Getting Anselmino as 4th CB for example would make much more sense, as he is highly regarded.
A lot of these stories and agents or clubs drumming up interest. We get linked to every man and his dog.
If we try to sign this guy, we might as well pack it up as a club.
Because that is the level of players we van afford.
Maguire is. The rest have performed worse than these players this season so obviously they're seen as an improvement
Let them first come to United first and see how they do under this huge pressure. I'm sure Lindelof is a better player than both. And I don't even rate him.
They like to defend so they'll do a lot better than Lindelof
If it's not just paper nonsense, my guess is the idea is we'll sign a LB, an expensive CB and a cheap CB and let Varane go (wages), sell Lindelof and let Kambwalla go on loan to the Champo or probably ideally to Ligue 1 to get a year of starting games before coming back to replace Evans. Malacia either stays as a 5th fullback or goes on loan or gets sold, that situation seems complicated so probably no decision has been made:
Plugging in say Bard, Todibo and Kilman just as names we've heard a lot:
24/25 season:
LB - Shaw, Bard,
RB - Dalot, AWB
LCB - Lisandro, Kilman, Evans (Shaw)
RCB - Todibo, Maguire, Evans
25/26 season, maybe AWB and Maguire go and a new RB brought in, Kambwalla comes back:
LB - Shaw, Bard,
RB - Dalot, RB
LCB - Lisandro, Kilman
RCB - Todibo, Kambwalla
and maybe a new CB if Kilman/Adarabaiayo/Kelly is more of a 5th guy than a 4th guy.
Gone to West Ham for £40m. Interesting as it helps to establish the 'going rate'. 27, not played for England, 7 year contract.

Maidenhead get a tasty %. New FM save for sure!
He's a good player, I guess West Ham is probably his level but with all the very average players who've played for England in recent years I'm surprised he's never had a sniff. I think he might work well with either Stones or Guehi.
Seems mad they would pay that for Kilman yet offered less of England international Harry Maguire
Some might prefer him to De Ligt. So a massive coup for West Ham i say
