Hi ed, seen a couple of reports this morn that Bayern have told Man Utd and Liverpool Shaquiri can leave in Jan. Also seen Utd could move for Varane in Jan aswell. Any legs to these???

{Ed002's Note - Why would Bayern Munich tell Manchester United and Liverpool? Nothing has changed - it has been known for some time he would be available in January and discussions have been taking place with a couple of clubs.}

Cheers ed, the reports were on the gossip section of sly sports. To be fair, I'm hoping for a defender in Jan, obv wouldn't moan if Shaquiri made his way to us.

The main rumours knocking about are Strootman, Shaqiri, Sneijder and Varane. Hopefully one or two come off in January.

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

Over any of them? A question ed, you say that we are looking for a centre half and defensive midfielder in January but I don't think you have dropped out any names? Could you enlighten.

{Ed002's Note - On November 24 I explained: Hummels or Godin if available; Virgil van Dijk but there is interest from elsewhere and I cannot see him sitting on the bench; Miranda - only at a much lower fee; Joël Veltman; Terence Kongolo. The critical issue is timing - few if any will be available in January. Kongolo is of growing interest.

Strootman remains a good shout for the summer.}

Theres a few nice names !!!! Think miranda and kongolo most likely! Is lucas cruz 'the new kaka ' also a name we are looking into ed?

{Ed002's Note - Lucas Silva has been the subject of discussions with two other sides. I understand that it was a third party who made contact regarding MU, but it is unknown if they are acting on behalf of the club or not.}
