Hi Ed,
Any truth in what I am reading on SSN app? Pogba to Juve in a cash plus Pjanic deal?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you have read but Juventus did speak with Mino and they would need to move on a couple of players to raise funds, but MU has so far resisted exchanges this summer. Pjanic has been the subject of discussions with another side but it will be an offer from Barcelona that Mino is discussing with MU today. Juventus are an option.}

If its the same report (s) I've seen today as the Pogba speculation goes in to overdrive is that Barcelona would be offering Gomes and Yerri Mina in the deal which is very uninspiring.

A Pjanic + Sandro might soften the blow -not as easy as that of course .

Hi ed i know you don't like to talk numbers so i'll try keep the question more simple, do you know if the offer from Barcelona cash only or a cash plus player deal? i'd imagine from other bits and pieces you've said Barcelona would be looking to get some cash off the deal so may include players possibly dembele hopefully not yerry mina.

{Ed002's Note - MU have resisted all offers involving other players this summer.}

Ed002 do you know if the offer from Barcelona is money only or are they looking to offer a player+cash deal? Interested to see if MU are willing to change their policy on exchanges considering they have a chance to offload Pogba which they have been looking to do all summer.

{Ed002's Note - MU has resisted all exchanges so far.}

Hi Ed, do you think united will continue to resist exchanges in this transfer window or could anything change that and make us more open to this type of deal.
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Probably.}

Ok ed thanks maybe it's time the club looked at that stance might make the changes we are looking to make a little easier, looks like we could be very busy over the next few days with rojo, smalling, darmian, pogba, and martial all potentially leaving plus players brought in I think we need a LB RW and CB if as definates, if pogba goes I'd look for a CM to replace him, we could also do with a RB and a back up striker but with dalot coming in this isn't as urgent.

Lol I was nearly there but you're just too good. Thanks Ed.

Unless it’s Messi or Pique, Barcelona need cash only for us. It’s Juve who have some players we could do with. Pjanic aNd Sandro for starters!

I can understand the clubs position to an extent. If we're going to do swapsies then it should be for players ae want who will improve us not players the other club can't rid of or aren't as good as we have and won't improve us. Gomes and Mina?

Yeah would take the swap of pjanic and Sandro in a heartbeat too. Hard to see juve letting 2 go?

Although at the same time it seems they may need to.

Don't know about you lot, but this transfer window has driven me to drink more alcohol. Dilly Dilly.

Straight swap for Messi and I'll drive him to Barcelona myself!

Thanks Ed, follow up question if I may - do you know why they or any club would resist those kind of deals?

{Ed002's Note - Because they want specific players.}

Hi ed002.
You have mentiomd United's reluctance to use players in part exchange. It appears common place in european league's.
Why do united choose to avoid this do you know? Is it just a plain strategic decision or is their increased financial and contractial issues when players get involved as part exchange?
To me it makes sense if all parties are happy with it.

Ed002 thanks for the replies above. already the sharkapod was much informative thanks! Hopefully the deal is finalized with Barcelona and the club could look for a replacement before Thursday. we can only dream.

Very Sad to hear this. The first one needed to show the door was Jose. not Pogba.
If club is thinking to make Jose happy by selling Pogba and expect a positive football. than they are dreaming.
I will pray. it doesn't go through.
