is there any legs to the Icardi to United rumour, Eds?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any rumour but don’t hold your breath.}

Thanks Ed, he’d be a good signing, a young captain too. Will a good Director of Football mean we’ll unearth players of a similar caliber? Or Will he just bring negotiating for already high calibre players a smoother process?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Icardi has hardly been unearthed. The unearthing of players comes from scouts normally.}

your right, I suppose time will tell what a Director of Football will actually bring to the club, more drama likely, I think we’ve been a tabloids dream the past years.

Do you mean Dybala op? He was linked in the rags as a swap with Pogba.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would not worry yourself about Dybala either.}

Tabloids will make anything up with United's name. If we manage to win our CL match tomorrow, I can totally imagine the next day headlines to be " United harasses Young boys in a shocking scandal ".

Ed,

Do we still hold an interest in Savic from Lazio. Pogba most likely to go and i think Savic will be a good replacement.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The interest will still be there but the chances of signing the player are slim and I expect the club will need to look elsewhere for a solution when Pogba goes Singh.}

Ed,

Thanks for the reply.

Can i ask about the players we are going to target instead of Savic? .

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United are not making any efforts regarding a Pogba replacement at this time but if they were and assuming the manager remains unchanged then it would be likely the targets would remain the same as they have been with the club considering the likes of Toni Kroos and Lorenzo Pellegrini. Gedson Fernandes is still too young in my view but Mr Mourinho is keen. Maybe the toxics can see now the damage they done when the meeting was cancelled regarding a move for Saul Niguez - who someone associated with the club will still like to persuade to move to Manchester? Maybe Sam Allardyce will have his own views? We'll see but right now the club are not making a Pogba replacement any sort of priority and won't unless there is a push for something to happen in January.}

Thanks for the reminder Ed002, player i was thinking of was Saul as i wanted to ask Ed001 if it's possible for him to write up a player profile on him. Lovely lovely player he is, also any chance we can sign Lionel Messi Ed? 😂😂 About time we get someone in to score freekicks👀.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - added him to the list. Wonderful player, I have been raving about him for years but no one else seemed to agree that he was special until now.}

I really sat up and took notice when he scored the solo goal vs Bayern in 15/ 16, was exquisite, skill, guile, strength, precision, he is brilliant. If he played for Barca/ Madrid instead of Atletico maybe he would of been raved about much earlier Ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - yeah fair point. I remember him in youth football looking a class apart and wondering why he was only at Atleti, so you make a good point, they are overshadowed there.}

Also seems to work very hard of the ball, rounded package. Fits in with Simeone perfectly, would have been nice if the meeting was held. lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is gedson Fernandes at sporting or am I thinking of someone with a similar name?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You are obviously thinking of someone else.}

Dear me we would be in trouble if Mr Allardyce is in th3 reckoning.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Sep 2018 01:22:13
Yes, this is something that is really worrying me a lot. Ed02 keeps mentioning Allardyce but i just don't understand how or why are we considering a very, i mean very average manager. Its just wrong if they want a British manager how about Howe?

Agree0 Disagree0
