Hello Ed002, I hope your well.

I've seen u mention athletico are worried about losing Koke in the summer, I was wondering what clubs are interested and if United are one of those clubs, obviously barca are out of contention this summer and Real M would I'm guessing struggle to strike a deal with there city rivals.

I remeber u hinting Pogba to Chelsea is possible this summer I think, therefore it may not be feasible to buy the both. City are alrealdy getting punishments from ffp.
Would that leave just bayern us (and I'm guessing we would have to sell to due to ffp), arsenal and psg(who as well will have to sell) that may be able to strike a deal?

Just curious more than anything

{Ed002's Note - I answered this the other day for you. Chelsea are interested in Koke still.}

I'm sure if a player like Koke becomes available we will have interest in him. Our shortlist will be full of players of his age, quality and talent. We are one of the biggest clubs in the world so I'm sure we will be keeping tabs on these types of players, whether we can outmatch other clubs financially for them our match the players ambitions is a different story.

{Ed002's Note - No, that has not happened. You think that MU just jump ad hoc at any player available and buy them. Ridiculous.}

I don't think that at all ED. I think that United are a team that will keep tabs on very good players in the way that all big clubs do, which doesn't seem ridiculous in my book.

{Ed002's Note - You have a very naïve view of the game then.}

Its usually the players that are interested more in the bigger clubs such as ourselves. We are not the ones going round begging for the players to sign. We have targets and its simple as that.
