Ed001,
I enjoy reading your views on players/managers/football in general and washoping, whne youhave the time, if you could provide your opinion on our season, tactics, the manager, and who you think we should be targeting in the market this summer.

Thanks mate - hope you're settling well after your move.

{Ed001's Note - I have done that, bit rushed as the sites are really hectic at this time of year, I will stick it on the others page as it is a bit lengthy!

Thanks, settling in ok, just trying to get used to living 23 stories up when I am terrified of heights! Vertigo and living right near the top of a tower are not a good mix. Though living next door to a bunch of cute, young, single women is a bonus, though not sure my missus agrees on that point.....}

Vertigo is a terrible affliction, I think lfc suffer from it too. sorry ed couldn't resist😉 hope you settle in well.

05 Jun 2015 22:06:37
A good read that ed and a pretty fair assessment IMO . Do you think thar a cm now appears to be a priority for this window due to Carrick's age and injury worries? As you say he plays his role to a very high level.
Also it is looking increasingly likely that ddg will leave do you think we could or indeed would like to sign cech ?
Finally I would like your opinion on who you think would. Be good long term solution at cb?

Rojo appears to want Otamendi to join United, what are the chances?

04 Jun 2015 18:11:22
What do we reckon then guys and girls, if you could pick any 2 from Schneiderlin, Vidal, Gundagon, Naingollan, Matuidi, Carvalho, Strootman and Schweinstieger who would if be? (I'm trying to use realistic targets, I'm not so sure Pogba or Pjanic or realistic.

{Ed004's Note - Schneiderlin/Schweinsteiger and Gundogan/Vidal}

05 Jun 2015 12:06:39
Matuidi and Vidal every day of the week for me.

05 Jun 2015 12:10:51
Schneiderlin and vidal

05 jun 2015 13:10:09
schneiderlin over all of them!

05 Jun 2015 14:00:11
schneiderlin and Nangollan/Vidal

05 Jun 2015 14:27:24
Schneiderlin and gundogan

05 Jun 2015 15:18:34
Schweinsteiger and vidal

05 Jun 2015 15:51:29
I'd pick 3. Schweinsneijder, sshneidurling & shneidure. They are exactly what we need as I've seen them all mentioned on here at some point. Or vidal and schweinsteiger next to Herrera or carrick.

05 Jun 2015 17:00:34
My concern With Schneiderlin is that none of the Southampton players that left last year did Great.is this a valid fear for him this year?

05 Jun 2015 17:45:44
Brad most of them went to liverpool (enough said) and shaw had a few injury problems. Long term who knows what will happen with those that left last year but in my opinion shaw will do well and to a lesser degree i would imagine lallana will come good (but not world class i would have thought)

05 Jun 2015 21:35:18
I personally would take Snedgerloggin over all the others .

With the Benzema rumours doing the rounds and Lacazette being mentioned in a few stories who would you rather have and why?

I'm just favouring Benzema as he is pretty much the finished article right now. He would almost guarantee 20 goals a season and his link up play is sensational. I doubt Real would entertain letting him go but if they end up going for Aguero then we would have a chance.

Lacazette looks like a very good player and will get even better but we need someone who has played at the highest level for a number of years and performed very well at that level, basically a player who is deemed as "world class" in their position. I would rather spend the money on Benzema for that reason as I don't think Lacazette can be classed as that yet. No to say he won't be in a couple of years.

05 Jun 2015 11:01:42
The issue with Lacazette, which I also have with Kane is that they both only really hit the scene this season.

We need some consistency instead of buying someone who may not reach that form again.

And that's why i chose Benzema, he has proven for the past few years he is one of the better strikers around and has time on his side, could easily be our main man for the next 5 years.

05 Jun 2015 11:46:07
Benzema has size, strength, intelligence, finishing and unselfishness. He would score his share of goals and set up the runners like DePay and Di Maria in on goal. It would also allow Rooney to play behind him, where he is more effective.

05 Jun 2015 11:50:29
Benzema has been one of Europe's best strikers for some time now. I'm a huge fan and would love to see it happen.

05 Jun 2015 14:50:30
Weggy he hasn't just hit the scene, he scored 22 goals in all competitions last season predominantly from the right wing. His coach moved him up top and he got even more. He's been tipped for big things for a number of years in France it's just taken the British press a while to catch up

05 Jun 2015 15:30:16
Rewz did you see him in the last period of the season when Lyon really needed him to step up? He was abysmal and choked under pressure.

05 Jun 2015 16:42:59
Give the kid a break jmb. He was only 23 ;)

06 Jun 2015 01:02:00
As you are fully aware mate that is old in football terms LOL

05 Jun 2015 00:02:39
Hope the rumours that we've agreed to sign Gaitan are false. such an average player, reminds me of a left footed Valencia when he goes forward.

05 Jun 2015 00:38:40
Come on, that's a harsh statement.

05 Jun 2015 11:33:50
Jeeees How many left sided players do we want!!!
I agree, decent player who I admit has played well every time I've seen him. But we need that bit extra IMO. But at least he is consistant, although Nani has been the stand out player in that league apparently.
