Evening Ed.

Thanks for your reply earlier. It appears that we're making progress with Di Maria which is pleasing!

Are you aware if we are still pushing for Vidal in this window, or would that deal be too difficult now? I know a week is a long time, but u gave me the impression Juventus would need to sell to buy. Selling this late leaves little time to buy!

Hope you enjoyed your European Travel, and have a good weekend!

{Ed002's Note - See earlier answers.}

Thanks ed. Apologies, I must admit I haven't seen anything since. - Vidal needs to ask for transfer

Having re-read your 'right people in the right place Wednesday /Thursday for the likes of Vidal etc', the chances of signing Vidal is still there? I get the impression nobody on here believes there is a chance of it happening, but to me, I thought it looked more positive than the di Maria signing!

Posted a day or so ago saying that I had a guy feeling that this would still be a big window. I don't know anything and I'm certainly not ITK but I still think there's more to come. Di Maria? Vidal? Benatia? Hummels? Cuadrado? Carvalho? Could be an interesting few days ahead.

Apparently Di Maria is on his way to Manchester United for somewhere around €70 million. I've heard he'll wear the number 7 shirt too. Top class signing imo.

Think I just had a trouser accident. Di Maria MUFC new number 7

Interesting from Ballague (Sp). Di Maria to sign next week, €60+, convinced by Ronaldo and will wear number 7. He also said he not be the last signing. Interesting.

Ed are you able to confirm whether united have made a revised offer to juvenile, or whether in your opinion there will be no chance of a transfer in this window.appreciate it "has been done to death"!

{Ed002's Note - I will guess that there will be movement on a number of transfers Wednesday and Thursday when a bunch of the key personnel are from the various clubs involved with the likes of Di Maria, Vidal and Guarin are all together in the same place. There will be preparation being done already but this week offers the opportunity to try and complete some business. Trying to get updates every 5 minutes doesn't help.}

I understand you don't like to speculate, but I will ask. at this moment in time, in your opinion, do you think United will sign either Vidal or Di Maria. I think there the two names were all interested in one way or another. Totally understand if you don't want to answer

Thanks
Steve

{Ed002's Note - Sure, I think there is every chance.}

Thanks for the info ed! Sound exciting! (Hopefully) are we trying to sign any more defenders? Hopefully a world class centre back.

Thanks

Thanks ed

Hi Ed002,

Any update on the Di Maria negotiations?

Also, with Depay signing a new contract do you see United going after Cuadrado as a primary target or is he Barcelona bound?

Cheers!

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Di Maria "negotiations" at the moment. Depay looks likely to be off the list. The situation with Cuadrado is that no one is interested in an auction. None of the interested clubs wants to pay the asking price. I suspect Guarin would be more likely as a target for the right hand side that Cuadrado at this time. We will see.}

Thank you ed.

I genuinely believed the news reports that mentioned United are close to signing Di Maria. I am just going to wait for official news, if any.

This transfer window will be the death of me.

Cheers
