A lot of today's papers suggesting Arsenal & Man City aren't in for Fabregas. Add to that his wage bill which would ultimately rule Liverpool out.
I'm guessing that suggests we're in poll position? I'm still not sure on him, but goes without saying that it's an improvement on what we have right now!
{Ed002's Note - Manchester City are interested.}
1.) Ed, Is this due to Yaya recent behaviour?
{Ed002's Note - No.}

Evening chaps.
If any of the Eds are about, do you think RM would sell Di Maria this summer & more importantly do you think United may go in for him?
Thanks
Al92
{Ed002's Note - PSG may well return with an other offer for Di Maria and it is possible that Arsenal and Manchester United might follow up on previous interest. If he cannot stay at Real Madrid, the player would not object to a move to Italy should the opportunity arise and Juventus may give him that opportunity, perhaps as part of a package deal that could see players being exchanged.}

Apparently Rues has been offered a new contract that scraps any buy out clause
1.) Says to me that Dortmund are worried of someone's interest. Maybe ours, maybe Barca's - time will tell,

Rumours are certainly accelerating that Kroos did want to join United. So frustrating given he's a world class player & I can't see us signing Cesc.
I'm confident in LVG but it is a concern that we suddenly pulled out the deal.
What I've seen (albeit online) is the Pep really likes Kroos and instead offered us Shweinsteiger (tried my best with spelling).
Could any of the Eds shed some light on the Shweinsteiger rumour? Sorry if it's already been done couldn't find it!

{Ed002's Note - There was no "deal".}
1.) Potential deal sorry!

A lot of rumours that United have pulled out of Kroos (potential) deal online & in papers. Can't see why they would pull out but it would not surprise me.

Evening chaps
Are United, or any club for that matter, allowed to place bids during the season?
{Ed004's Note - No.}
1.) Thought that was the case.
So, all the "rumours" that are almost everywhere are rubbish!
{Ed004's Note - They can still enquire about players and agree whether to sell players during the window. Most of the groundwork is done now}
2.) Ah ok. Cheers for clearing that up! Just read we've put a 33.5mil bid in for Hummels & triggered my thinking!

Banter please.
Reading everyone's posts about potential starting XI tomorrow & the majority of you have agreed pace & attacking wingers is what we need, which, I agree with.
Welbeck & Valencia seem to be everyone's first choice, but I actually think Januzaj would suit this match in a team were the experience of Giggs will balance Adnan's lack of it.
I'd also like to see Nani come on, although he's massively under achieved in a United shirt, he seems to come alive on Champions League nights.
Thoughts?
PS
Great job Eds, been on this site since last summers transfer window & thoroughly enjoy reading the posts & input from you.
{Ed007's Note - Cheers mate, glad you enjoy it.}
1.) Even though I'm a huge fan of Kagawa, I would keep him on the bench and introduce himself and Hernandez later on around the 65min mark. I think are surprise weapon should be Nani, he destroyed Lahm last time at Old Trafford, and his ability to skin players and shoot from distance could help us score. I'd play Januazaj on the other wing, and have a midfield 3 of carrick, fletcher/jones and Giggs. With Rooney Upfront. Hoping cleverly is no where near the stadium, and even though Welbeck is fast off the ball, he's terrible on the ball.
2.) Sulei, I think if there was any chance of Nani starting, then he would have featured against Villa. Unless they are working hard with him behind the scenes and are planning to use him as a shock starter. I think it's unlikely mind.
3.) Nani won't start. I'd be extremely surprised. Though, at 0-0 after 60-70 minutes I do think he'd be good to bring on. He can't be match fit to start, hasn't even been in the reserves has he?
The problem with starting Janujaz is his lack of defensive qualities, & with the state of our defence at the moment it is a risk.
Double edged sword really!

Can any of the eds shed some light on the takeover rumours?
{Ed002's Note - I wouldn't hold your breath.}
1.) Not sure if it's a shame or not. Glazers (apparently) are happy to invest this summer, but as previously discussed, our starting 11 against City was more expensive, so can't see how throwing money at it will make much of a difference 😒
2.) Al92, are they including Rio etc in that as he was hugely expensive but is way past it now, so that's not going to give a fair comparison of the teams is it?
3.) I don't think you should count how much someone cost, look at Rio he cost £30 million 11 years ago but he's worth 65 pence now.
4.) Good point, but when you think Silva was 25 & Fellaini was 28 or so it makes you wonder how desperate we were in the summer. How do we know it's not going to be different this summer?
5.) How many games has Silva played for city though in comparison? not saying Fellaini is as good as Silva as he isn't, but I think Fellaini will be a much better player for us this time next year when he has been allowed to settle and had more game time etc.
6.) AI92
Every manager has their share of good, great, average and bad buys.
Fellaini is a good player and people here are just picking on him because he was a David Moyes buy and ex everton player. He gets slagged for a misplaced pass or tackle as a means to criticise moyes some more for buying him.
Jones had a horrible game against city but he is darling with many and will not get the abuse that fellaini gets.
I can list some of the players fergie bought in the last 5 or 6 years and it does not make for great reading.
Ignore the noise, if we have money I trust moyes will bring in very good players and in some ways trust him more than fergie.
I said this a few weeks ago, if he does not win and shows major improvements by christmas this year, the next managers job will be much easier given he will be will be left with a pretty good list of players that DM has brought in and cleaned up quite a lot of what needed to go.
7.) People are not picking on him because he is a moyes player . He bought mata and most people like him and think he is a good player. There are dissatisfied with Fellaini because he just is not good enough . He actually looks worse when watching him at the game rather than on TV because you can how utterly immobile he is. You should try it.
8.) The give him cash and leave him until November or Christmas argument again. So, having let him spend all our reserves in summer, with Fellaini as an example of his thinking, we get to Christmas and have to look mid season for a new manager which means we wouldn't get a top one, leaving us an interim to the end of the season and another season would be a write off. Would a top manager fancy the job if the cash has been spent on players the new manager doesn't fancy and where we may no longer seen as a top side in summer 2015?
At Christmas there may be improvement and the apologists would be saying give him until summer, in summer until the next Christmas. David Moyes has no winning pedigree and there is no guarantee he will get it with us. Give him more time is what they said about, McGuiness, OFarrell, and particularly Sexton. Years, barren years and we let it happen and now are waltzing into it again.
9.) Can I just ask, is this the same fellaini that destroyed us last season that your on about? because I was one saying god I wish he was playing for us and not against us. Give him time he will prove people wrong and prove to be a good ( not great I doubt ) player. We can't blame him for the price we paid. But i'm sure he will be a solid player that gives us another option. If we was playing better with pace out wide and delivering good balls into dangerous areas this guy would produce the and could easy get double figures in a season. Have faith pancho
10.) Pancho, fellaini was rubbish when everton paid 15mil, he was clumsy but after 2 years he was problaby our best player, uv got 2 give him time to settle
11.) Pancho
He is our best midfielder with Carrick. Fans are fickle as some here criticised us for not going after ozil for 40 million now the same guys think he his rubbish and a waste of money.
The guy has played a handful of games for us in the worse period we have had in the last 20 years. I think he is a good player and will settle in and for every bad game he has he will have many good ones.
Kagawa is very mobile but how many good games has he had since joining us may I ask?
12.) GCU
Like have said if he turns out to be a good player I will be happy but in my opinion I don't think he is or going to be. I didn't think he was any good at Everton and I agree with you about Kagawa . A lot of people may say he has not been given a chance either but from what I have seen he looks like he thinks each game is a training session where it doesn't matter about flicking the ball to no one However at times he has looked ok . Fellaini just looks crap. He wouldn't have nearly got himself the other night he could just trap the bloody ball.
13.) Fellaini's biggest asset and I include the games in the previous season where he caused us problems (and I watched that live at OT) was that he could take a long high ball put into the corner of the box extremely well on his chest and bring other players into the game. If we keep Moyes long enough maybe we will see that tactic again and Fellaini will again be a dangerous opponent.
14.) If you read my post again you'll see I did not slate Fellaini as a player. As the majority of you have said, he's a decent player & will improve, but at £30mil I can't & probably will never justify that price tag. When you think players like Kroos is supposedly available at £24mil. What I'm saying is yes Moyes will have money, as he has done so far it seems, but he doesn't seem to be using it as well as I think other managers may have. Hard to compare, given he was given next to nothing to spend at Everton, but has he learnt or will he just be cash happy thinking it'll work.
15.) Yeah I saw him at OT and at Everton at the games against but I still wish I was watching him play for Everton instead of us!
Oops. Just read. Apologies!
With all due respect, it's a rumours site. Rumours always have a spark, whether true or not, you get what you sign up for on this page & this post emphasises what the page is about.
Info being ssn?
Not sure not believing it doesn't make him a fan.
We did go for Ozil.
Potential deal sorry!
Was explained yesterday mate
Ah ok. Cheers for clearing that up! Just read we've put a 33.5mil bid in for Hummels & triggered my thinking!
Thought that was the case.
So, all the "rumours" that are almost everywhere are rubbish!
{Ed004's Note - They can still enquire about players and agree whether to sell players during the window. Most of the groundwork is done now}
None of the above currently play for Everton? Strange
