Gundogan made it through the whole 120 minutes tonight in the Cup final against Bayern and was one of just two players to score a penalty in the shootout. His recovery must be going well - a must signing if you ask me:

29 Apr 2015 00:07:51
Since dortmunds revival this season humels and gundongan spelling have both been playing very well would have them in my team any day

29 Apr 2015 00:14:31
Wasn't the injury sometingnto do with his back? But they couldn't find the actual source of the problem?

I watched the game and he looks kike he's starting to play like he did before his injury, and for the price being reported I would sign him up.

If we do sign him i would ove Vidal or carvalho as another cm.

29 Apr 2015 05:20:12
I would love Verrati, he is the perfect replacement for Carrick and we do really struggle without carrick in the line up. Vidal is more of an attacking midfielder and we already have Herrera in that role.

29 Apr 2015 07:05:32
Agree with gcu. Verrati or naingolan if we can't get pogba.
I thought gundogan did very little tonight. We'll be making a huge mistake if we sign him. Mark my words!
Hummels was OK but nothing special,and he was totally at fault for bayern goal. Sorry, but I don't rate either of these two.

29 Apr 2015 16:41:46
Nomid

I prefer Ottamendi or Laporte over hummels. If you want the Rolls Royce, then Verrane obviously who will just get doe much better and scary good.

28 Apr 2015 21:47:58
Well done Brucie .No squeekey bum time for two weeks at least .That really should calm us all down now. Liverpool are as crap now than we were under Moyes

28 Apr 2015 22:38:26
1 more win shoukd confirm 4th but I think we will win all our remaining games

28 Apr 2015 23:07:12
No, 70 points should confirm CL . And I doubt we will all four.

29 Apr 2015 00:21:56
Liverpool and Tottenham can only get 70 points and I doubt they will win all there remaining 4 games.

Goal difference is pratically a poimt

Can't see us needing to win more than another game to qualify

29 Apr 2015 03:46:32
GD wise Southamptons good is close to ours and to me , are the only team that could get 4th on Goal Difference . But we need two wins out of the next three would do it.

29 Apr 2015 07:09:23
Remember we have no rooney and Carrick. So I think we're going to struggle to score and to keep clean sheets. Not a good combination. We'll need two more wins.

28 Apr 2015 21:02:59
Currently watching the bayern and Dortmund game. Hummels is looking very composed and having a good game. Will bring a much needed calmness to our defense. Hopefully an announcement will be made soon.

28 Apr 2015 21:39:47
Composed, as in playing lewandoski on for the goal?
Thiago looks awesome

28 Apr 2015 20:30:00
I've been lurking on this site for a while, but the recent dust up has inspired me to post for the first time.

I often wonder how many people like myself are lurking on this site simply for Ed002's insights. I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to feel like all your hard work and dedication is not appreciated. I just want to make sure you understand that it is, at least by the overwhelming majority of this community, not to mention those of us who are reading behind the scenes. Your observations and expertise are the reason I frequent this site, and it would be a genuine shame to lose them, even if only for a short time. I know that if you change your mind about your hiatus, all of us would do our best to respect your efforts and not waste your time.

We are all passionate about United and I think sometimes our emotions get the better of us. I sincerely hope you reconsider, though I certainly wouldn't blame you for wanting to escape the asylum!

All the best to you and thank you for all your hard work!

28 Apr 2015 21:06:07
Good post mate! 100% agree with everything you sad!

This is by far and away the best site for all the info to cut through all the BS that comes up every transfer window so i also hope a peace treaty can be agreed!

28 Apr 2015 22:05:30
Good post Milesman, completely agree with that.
Welcome to the site, I hope the doom n gloom that sometimes happens doesn't put you off posting again.

28 Apr 2015 23:38:30
Welcome Milesman!
We were all lurkers once I'm sure, I barely posted for the first year or so I found this site.

28 Apr 2015 15:05:22
I can feel a petition beginning to bring back Ed002, much like the bring back Clarkson petition albeit more successful!

{Ed002's Note - You should try the same approach the Chelsea page did last year - that worked.}

28 Apr 2015 15:41:33
If you could elaborate? Did they buy you gifts? Free season ticket? What?

{Ed002's Note - You'll have to ask them.}

28 Apr 2015 15:43:57
If it was Chelsea then I imagine they tried to buy you back Ed 002.

28 Apr 2015 16:12:50
Whatever we said, whatever we did, we didn't mean it. We just want you back for good. Whatever went wrong, remember that lad called Dong, he made one appearance! We just want you back for good.

28 Apr 2015 16:13:09
Was it not the 002 appreciation page on Facebook?

{Ed002's Note - Not that, but have you signed up for the Ed002 Appreciation Society at: tinyurl.com/c6j7t2m ?}

28 Apr 2015 17:09:40
Danny ,ever thought about a career as a tribute artist?

"Fake That" would be a good name to start with.

Maybe for the older generation you could perform as "Alvin Sawdust"? :)

28 Apr 2015 17:16:57
I think someone wrote a poem fro ed

28 Apr 2015 19:11:05
Betty did you begin to sing too? Hahahaha, Danny's a genius and he doesn't even know it.

28 Apr 2015 19:13:54
If Chelsea bought ed002 they would have loaned him out for a couple of years then sold him on because he doesn't track back

28 Apr 2015 19:16:46
Harmonises- "want you back, want you baa-ack".

28 Apr 2015 19:45:43
Did they send you a rent boy Ed002??? Just a guess ;-)

28 Apr 2015 14:24:57
ED002 - I know you are not posting on the MU page which is fine but unfortunate for us as your info (and sometimes wit) are what brings folk like me to the page.

This isn't a comment to waste your time but I have been surfing the Liverpool page for the past week or so and I have seen them ask the same question after question which gets answered daily. Is Monchi our new DOF? What's going on with Depay? Are we intrested in Vietto? Will Klopp join us? Is Rodgers getting sacked? I could answer all those questions from your posts weeks ago.

We aren't half as bad as them lot so I find it a little odd that you would stop posting on this page for those reasons when it's much worse over there. Like I said mate if you don't want to give us information or post that's fine but at least be consistent with the other pages also.

28 Apr 2015 14:56:01
Here here.

28 Apr 2015 15:13:53
Seriously mate , you are not helping. Why do you always have to have the last word?

Just let it be , and Ed will return when he is ready. Bitching about other teams' pages will , I am sure , not suddenly make him/her return sooner.

28 Apr 2015 15:13:56
Why do people want to keep sticking their foot in it? Now you just sound like a bitter child 'he's allowed so why can't i?'. Give it a rest! I feel sorry for the eds having to put up with such rubbish. They don't do this site for a living but as a favour, remember that next time you feel the need to childishly stick your oar in.

28 Apr 2015 15:37:16
I don't think it was the repetitive questions that has made Ed002 stop posting on this page, although I know it was annoying for him, it was the smart arsed "its your job" comment that drove him away. I for one hope he changes his mind and at least gives us occasional updates, as his information is the only way to filter the crap from the truth during transfer time. Most of us really appreciate the work of the Ed,s , unfortunately some people don't and they ruin it for the rest.

{Ed002's Note - Right.}

28 Apr 2015 15:45:59
Lads get over it. Ed002 provides a quality service free of charge, so there really is no right to question him. He's doing us a favour nothing more. If people just took his thoughts on board for what they are we wouldn't be in this situation. jmb you're a good poster but trust you to come out with this, Mr argumentative!

28 Apr 2015 18:15:06
Come on people, as Bond said yesterday it's a banter site not a Ed002 question site. Yes it's great to have some insight but let's get back to having a laugh and just enjoying the site

28 Apr 2015 19:11:13
JMB Ed002 does this of his own free will, how he chooses to treat different pages is at his discretion, this is not a service that we pay for and I think we should be very grateful of the info that ed gives us.

You really should think before you post sometimes. One thing is for sure, nobody can question your consistency, negative.

Ed I wouldn't bother

28 Apr 2015 23:06:11
I agree in free speech but sometimes you just need to STFU.

28 Apr 2015 23:36:38
Who is being argumentative? I am just making a point. Has that now suddenly became illegal?

29 Apr 2015 05:12:55
I just want to point out that transfers will be what they will be and no point people getting all uptight, obssesed and silly about it. Ed002 provides valuable insight and knowledge on many of them and also can be wrong in some cases. People should keep it respectful and cordial and behave in a mature manner.

The Media creates this frenzy every window about us being United. The reality is we probably are not interested in 90% of the names that are being touted and end up doing a fraction of the transfers people think we will.

We have almost achieved getting back in Europe, which is a great relief. So enjoy the rest of the season and let's hope for a good window.

28 Apr 2015 12:35:50
Reports today have surfaced that Lloris can leave Spurs for £14 million this summer as they have missed out on Champions League football. Now, whilst I don't want DDG to go I suspect this would be the perfect time to sell whilst his value his high and his world class replacement is available at a great price.

28 Apr 2015 14:11:16
Fresh we both know Danny Levy would never agree to such contractual terms. I call BS on these reports!

28 Apr 2015 14:57:54
I'm going to say not BS due to wishful thinking :)

28 Apr 2015 16:08:32
Fresh, you actually believe Lloris will be sold for that amount? Not a chance

27 Apr 2015 23:46:08
West brom
Palace
Arsenal
Hull

How many points can we get,9 will do me and I don't care where they come from

28 Apr 2015 01:27:04
I may be bias but I think we will get 12 points :-) we will still finish 4th though on goal difference.
Arsenal 5 games left will get 10 points - 2nd place
Man City 4 games left will get 8 points - 3rd place

Just my opinion though.

28 Apr 2015 06:09:59
We will get 7 or 8 points in my opinion and it will be good enough to finish 4th. Liverpool will not win out and expect them to lose 1 or 2 from here.

28 Apr 2015 06:10:30
7 points at least. Hope it's enough for CL .

28 Apr 2015 06:23:55
Expect us to win the next 2 games BTW

28 Apr 2015 08:39:39
Herbie if your points totals are correct, city will be 4th and it will be decided by goal difference between us and arsenal who finishes 2nd. I agree we'll get 4 wins, just glad our next game is at home to get us back on track.

28 Apr 2015 10:37:40
Realistically we should be beating West brom, Palace and Hull. Arsenal will be a tight game and can go either way. 9 Points for me and It will be enough to secure 4th place.

28 Apr 2015 11:03:34
No less that 12 points is the standard we should be looking for.

28 Apr 2015 11:18:18
The last games us an indication that we will beat West Brom and Arsenal at home, but maybe lose at Palace away.
Considering we have problems with teams parking the bus, palace away is the one to fear. At home in the league we do have a safe grip on Arsenal, but against west brom fighting and eith Pulis it could be a tough game. Hopefully we'll get as much as 9 points out of theese four games.

28 Apr 2015 12:36:27
Agree with Norwegian, palace could be the real banana skin. Pardew has them playing well and they play very well at home.

28 Apr 2015 13:34:14
We should be aiming for full points from that list but I think, West brom (Win), Palace (Draw), Arsenal (Win), Hull (draw).
So I 'm going for 8 points.

28 Apr 2015 14:16:28
Should be 12, 10 minimum. Our teams superior to 3 of the 4. Our wage budget is more than double 3 of the 4. Our facilities are better than 3 of the 4. Our managment team are much more experienced than 3 of the 4. Every player on our bench would be a key individual for 3 of the 4.

No excuses let's finish on a high and create momentum for next seasons title push.

28 Apr 2015 14:32:09
We always do well against Arsenal at home, my only worry is Palace away. I think we will take care of the other three fixtures.

28 Apr 2015 14:52:17
4-6 points for me. I think we will struggle against all of them for various reasons. WBA are hard to break down, Palace have pace and confidence, Arsenal are playing better than we are, Hull are coming into form and may need to get a result to stay up.

We should get at least 10 points, but I think the players & LVG have been believing the hype and have taken the foot off, 1 good month out of 8 isn't good enough. They need a boot up the backside.

28 Apr 2015 15:09:29
Can always count on you Beast.

28 Apr 2015 15:41:28
Just thought I'd bring a ray of sunshine to a gloomy day!

28 Apr 2015 16:47:26
JMB,

If the superior team just won every game football would be a bit boring wouldn't it?

28 Apr 2015 23:31:52
Doesn't the superior team always win 9 times out of 10?

28 Apr 2015 23:35:37
Good point Brendan81,
:-)
