I wouldn't have minded us taking a gamble on Bojan, everyone knows how's talented he is, and at 23 still has a lot of time to prove it, for 3m or however much it was could have have been a gem or worst case a decent squad player.
1.) And if it didn't work out for him at United. Everybody would take it out on Van Gaal right?
2.) He looked incredible in his breakthrough season (it's odd to think that that was seven years ago now) but has gotten progressively worse with every passing year. He's still only 23 - but unfortunately I don't see him making it now. Maybe a move to a club like Stoke will do him good though?
3.) Sounds like Wilshire
4.) Wilshere is a much better player than Bojan despite Bojan having more potential when he broke through. If I were to compare him with anybody it would be Jones - although again - Jones did not look anywhere near as good as Bojan at 16.
Bojan was easily as good as (if not better than) Neymar but was unfortunate to already be at a big club and didn't have the opportunities needed to develop the way he should have. I fear the same might happen to Adnan if we're not careful.
5.) More like Macheda.
6.) I follow ajax as well as Utd. he was on loan there, he didn't stand out in the slightest in the Eredivisie, tbh he's really not that great. defo not Utd standard

Eds have we shown any interest in isco? Seem Madrid are will sell.
Thanks in advance
{Ed002's Note - No.}
1.) Hes class but he's not what what we need elroy
2.) Madrid have no reason to sell him
3.) Isco is going to be one of the best players on the planet. Him and Neymar . They are not going to sell him
4.) Where is Isco going to play? He now has Ronaldo, Bale and Rodriguez in his positions they also have Jesse, who their fans love. Kroos plays mainly as a 10 too.

Ed002 is it right that Honda is a free agent this summer? If not what sort of price would you be looking at? {Ed002's Note - No, he will be a free agent in January and can sign a pre-contract now. He could of course be sold know with a number of clubs having already having discussions over the player - notably and what looks like his most probable destination right now, Milan.}
1.) I've always been a massive fan of Honda, watching the game now he has enough skill for the PL definitely! Can't see us going in for him though because he plays a similar position to Kagawa! His set pieces are terrific though too. Interesting to see where he ends up.
Ozwald {Ed002's Note - Liverpool were very interested at one time but may have blown their chance of Honda in January 2011 when he was available for about £8M. During the mid-season in Russia, Wolfsburg and Juventus were interested in Honda but the player said he wanted to move to Spain and the 25M euro asking price put them off. Last summer we saw enquiries for the player have been from Lazio, PSG, Sevilla and Palermo. It seems to be the longest running of the Liverpool (and Arsenal) related "rumours". Honda was close to leaving last summer with a move to Lazio only failing at the last minute and I understand that Lazio would still be interested at the right price. He has had a bit of a strange season in that he has been scoring goals but his performances have been criticised - which seems to have put off Dortmund who have taken a recent look. Valencia have shown interest recently and would like to have him sign a pre-contract in the summer (as he becomes a free agent in January) but I imagine the player will wish to see what options are available. I am told that interest also remains from Fulham, Everton and what looks like his most probable destination right now, Milan.}
2.) Got good engine on him!
Charla
3.) I remember the whole saga with Lazio and it falling apart on transfer deadline day. He deserves to be playing at a top club somewhere in europe. I recently saw reports about him replacing Boteang at Milan but I wasn't sure how true they are.
A lot of teams will be closely watching i'm sure but if there was/is interest from Everton could that mean David Moyes has an interest in the player he spoke about good business in the transfer market being a key point on what managers are judged on so could be good business if he's going free. Who knows!
Thanks for the info ed002!
Ozwald {Ed002's Note - You are welcome - it is nice to have a reasonable question.}
4.) Thanks ed:) always appreciated, if he's out of contract in January I think around 10m would enough and a good buy, can't it though. {Ed002's Note - If he is interested in giving up a signing on fee, perhaps.}

Ed002 have we shown any interest in isco, has a £/€30m clause not sure what type of clause and whether its pounds or euros, I know you don't like like to get into clauses/money, but is there any interest from united? Thanks {Ed002's Note - No.}

Ed002 could you tell me hwhat wingers we've been linked with recently, I understand if its a annoying question, a summer of lewi, strootman, Thagio, mendy and a top winger would be fantastic, thanks:-) {Ed002's Note - Interest remains in Gaitan and an enquiry was made regarding Di Maria. There is nothing else I can tink of right now.}
1.) Save us from Gaitan. Not the lecvel that we need.
2.) Ronaldo to sign soon, just watch and see!!
3.) I really hope we sign a winger soon, or all the decent ones will have moved already, and we need a winger or two. Nani has had enough chances, Valencia is one dimensional and has no plan b if he can't use pace and strength to barge down the right and put in a cross, lately he can't even do that. Young is a decent backup, but not good enough for first choice, which leaves Zaha.

Eds is there anything new on reus? Apparently pi**ed at Barcelona for aggreeing personal terms then them signing Suarez, do you see him moving this summer?
{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed at this time.}
1.) Barcelona are a huge club facing a lengthly transfer ban. They'll be spending five windows worth of budgets between now and September and will add at least another £40m onto the £60m they have already raised through player sales.
Just because they have signed Suarez does not mean that they can't afford to sign Reus or accommodate him in the first 11.
2.) Where on earth do you fit Messi Suarez Neymar and Reus into a starting 11?! Can't see any of them wanting to sit on the bench, would be some attack though!
3.) They can accommodate him in the squad. But with Messi, Neymar and now Suarez, he'll struggle to be a guaranteed starter. Barca have given him something to think about because the best players want to know they are central to a club's plans.
4.) Rues is better than Neymar, no contest
5.) Stand-United,
Its about accommodating all he star players. Even if Reus is better than Neymar don't think Neymar would love to be benched.
6.) I just hope marco reus gets better soon, and the suarez decision sways him towards us! (marco, please feel betrayed by barca!) god, i'd love him in utd red!

Anyone know when the new kits going to be launched? If it's the one that's been apartently leaked online then it's not great to say the least. The giant gold Chevrolet logo is hideous.
1.) It will be revealed on July 7th, not sure if that is also the release date though.
I like the design of the leaked home kit, but as you say, the sponsor logo is horrible. Not so keen on the away mind.
2.) Ah cheers, can't see it going down well with fans if it is the ones I've seen. Just the white Chevrolet writing would look smart though.
3.) I like the away kit. Very simple classic white with black collar.

Hoping we might see a bit of Depay in the last 20 minutes tonight against Australia, looks a promising young we've been linked too. I think holland will win comfortably 3-0, RVP getting on the score sheet again!
Being on the next season:-)
1.) Backed Van Persie to be top scorer so hopefully there's a hatrick in him or mabye more
2.) If he stays injury-free then it would be difficult to see anyone topping his goals in the EPL. Obviously if Suarez stays he will be up there along with Aguero (if he can stay fit), but with us not juggling 2-3 games a week next season, Van Persie should be able to keep himself fit.

Am I the only one a little worried we're not being linked with many midfielders? The only one really is strootman who's injured?

1.) Clasie, Kroos and Schweinsteiger rumours are knocking around as well.
2.) Haha. it would be easier to list the ones we are not linked to!
3.) Okay realistic midfielders! Only one I can really think of is clasie who I've never seen play but looks decent on YouTube, but then again so does stuart downing!
I'm guessing it's City ed? Hoping it may be us though, maybe just maybe
He's going to be some player, but there with Neymar, Hazard, Bale ect. Should have signed him before he went to Monaco.
I know this rumours been around revert transfer window but what would people's thoughts be if we did actually sign sneijder? And where would play? I'm guessing on the left of an attacking three, which I think would work if we had someone with pace on the right ie robben. Wouldn't be my first choice or my last.
Do you see Manchester United, Bayern and Barcelona bidding this year ed?
{Ed002's Note - No.}
Any interest from United in mueller ed?
{Ed002's Note - Manchester United and Barcelona are still interested in Muller. Interest from Manchester City, Lazio and Chelsea seems to have waned.}
Where on earth do you fit Messi Suarez Neymar and Reus into a starting 11?! Can't see any of them wanting to sit on the bench, would be some attack though!
Ah cheers, can't see it going down well with fans if it is the ones I've seen. Just the white Chevrolet writing would look smart though.

Kompany
Suarez
Hazard
Ramsey
