Any news on a RB or will we use Jones more? {Ed002's Note - A little bird tells me that Marseille's Cesar Azpilicueta is attracting some attention right now and may be one of the "hot" prospects of a transfer to England in the summer. Certainly there is interest from Barcelona and even a popular London-based club as well.}

It's pretty scary if you ask me, Spain already have a top quality team, now they have Cesar for RB & Alba for LB. With Ramos and Pique at CB. Thiago, Martinez & Cesc for CM and Mata & Silva for the wings. Llorente for striker & De Gea for GK. Those damn talented Spaniards are sorted for the future aren't they?

Sydney!

Ed002 - If Cesar went to Barcelona, could this mean a move for Alves to City or Chelsea?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I doubt Chelsea.}

The mirror is reporting that united could struggle to hold on to pogba and that his contract runs out next year, any truth in this or is just the papers talkin s$%t as normal

'jred'

Read the miniature story and work it out for yourself. It's pointless sh1t stirring if you ask me, you cannot expect anything different from the Daily reflection.

Sydney!

It simply states that is contract is up at the end of the year. Headline should've read 'Pogba has one year left on contract'.

Paper bulls**t.

Pogba would have much less playing time at Chelsea than he would at United.

Also i highly doubt a young frenchman who's settled in manchester, close to breaking into the senior team will want to move to chelsea.. it doesn't make sense!

Ozwald {Ed002's Note - I have it on very good authority that this is no more than mischief from an "associate" of Gael Mahe who has spoken to a couple of French clubs about what opportunities the kid would get in their first teams. I suspect nothing will come of it.}

Ed002 - Do you believe it's his agent trying to force more first team opportunities for him at United, which inevitably will lead to him getting a better contract for him and his client? I understand Pogba has a new agent, is this the Gael Mahe fella?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - No - Mahe was his agent and his status remains unclear. The pushing is being done by an "associate" who I am not prepared to name. They are looking for leverage - as a precursor to a deal I suspect. However, the kid has been discussed with Marseille and another French side that am not at liberty to mention. I would guess a new contract at Old Trafford and a loan to another side to gain experience.}

Ed002 - I wouldn't ask you to name anybody mate, but is all of this for a loan move to Marseille or is he trying to move him on permanently so he can get a percentage of the fee or something?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - As I understand matters they were general discussions with Marseille and another club about opportunities that the lad would have in the first team. I am going to be in Marseille tomorrow and Wednesday and will see if there is anything more specific, but I doubt that there is.}

Ed002 - Thanks Ed, we have until November to loan him out to a Championship club. Can you see him being offered his contract after the Aldershot game and then loaned out to a Championship team? Or when you said he will get a contract then a loan out, were you thinking next season? Thanks in advance Ed.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I would only be guessing Syd. I have given it no thought at all. But I am confident it will be on a Thursday morning that it is offered.}
