Ed002 if your about, you have mentioned we have moved on from coentrao but that we're still looking at left full back as a position we need to strengthen - is the paper talk of a sizeable bid for Luke shaw just paper talk or does it hold substance? If it's just jargon could you let us know which full backs we are still interested in.

Also it's clear we have interest in Vidal, you've said that a deal would be difficult which makes me believe it won't happen until the summer. Do you know if United would look elsewhere if we couldn't manage a deal this month now that we have such limited options in the middle with injuries and Anderson's departure?

Thanks in advance

{Ed002's Note - A bid has been made for Shaw after it became clear another club had made a bid. Interest also remains in Filipe. Interest remains in Vidal - he will be the first choice and perhaps Granit Xhaka is still in the mind of the manager.}

Obviously Chelsea is the other club who have made a bid, with an outside chance of city.

I would be very happy if we could get in mata shaw and vidal before the end of the window. We would be a totally different side. The board actually seem to be trying to change things quickly for a change

Just can't see Vidal going anywhere this window. Going to be very hard signing a top quality centre mid this window.

Thanks ed, are we right to assume the other club is chelsea?

{Ed002's Note - Yes, there is no secret.}

5.) 25 Jan 2014
Can you confirm that the other club is chelsea ed002 and are either of the offers likely to be accepeted?

{Ed002's Note - Yes and no. The Chelsea offer was rejected a couple of weeks ago. A figure was provided as to what Southampton would want and the assumption was the summer would be a better time to look for a deal. If it looks like he might be available now, I would expect a further bid from Chelsea as well.}

Well no one can deny DM is trying, it would be dream land if Vidal came now. To be fair if the money was right for Juve I can't see why it couldn't happen assuming he is receptive of the idea.

Top man thanks ed. If shaw had to chose I would be surprised if he'd pick us over chelsea tbh.

Shaw is very open about being a life long Chelsea fan seems to me this chase is pointless
