I would assume that's a No there is no Interest rather than the Ed won't tell you XD But I could be wrong lol

Cabayes agent due at old Trafford on Monday according to a source too in case kroos doesn't happen

Believable13 Unbelievable7

Is there any substance to the Kroos rumours? I don't see Bayern selling tbh. would be delighted if true though.

Agree0 Disagree1

I've jus posted what I've heard pal. Apparently we've bid £25 million for kroos, the player and agent want it but bay earn aren't sure, cabaye is the next option, we've told Southampton they have time til Tuesday to accept the shaw bid otherwise it's back to coentrao. I'm not in the know or anything it's just what I've been told

Agree0 Disagree1

Don't know much about Kroos but the opinion on Player Profiles says he's too fragile for the Premiership.

Agree1 Disagree0

Duncan castles has personted that he has some mufc news later, he is quite a decent journo in my opinion, I may b wrong tho.

Believable14 Unbelievable6

He's very good sadly. let's hope it's good news.

Agree0 Disagree1

Supposedly he is claiming he predicted Matic in and Mata out in June?

Agree1 Disagree0

Just checked this guy he stated in June that Chelsea would listen to offers for Mata. he got dogs abuse from Chelsea fans stating he was spouting rubbish.

Remember this guy had just been voted Chelseas best player for the second year in a row. bold statement which was in truth spot on.

Agree0 Disagree1

Rooney I'd say

Agree0 Disagree0

Hoping it's about Vidal.

Agree1 Disagree0

Vidal played today for Juve against Lazio which would be unusual in the extreme if they were about to let him go. Can't see it being Rooney as it has been touted for a couple of days now.
Have to wait and see.

Agree0 Disagree0

Perhaps Kroos and Shaw are now the targets?

Agree0 Disagree0

Some of his info is wrong, like Pogba being the target when we know it's Vidal. He says Moyes wants Rafael gone. Very odd, as even as back-up Rafael would be very useful.

Agree0 Disagree1

He recently said that Moyes wants to bring in "5 more Matas". Guessing he means that type of playmaker. Interesting times ahead although we really do need that world class CM more than anything.

Agree0 Disagree0

By 5 more Mata's he more than likely meant 5 more players of that calibre, not positionally speaking.

Agree0 Disagree0

Oz, like TK has just said. It is nothing positional, he means five more quality players.

Agree0 Disagree0

I was reading a site and it said Sporting Lisbon and Juventus chase United star Nani

Believable18 Unbelievable5

Ed if you have a second or anyone who has some info i'm wondering if we are now or have we ever shown an intrest in marco reus. Iv read the posts and his name pops up as a potential target but I want to know if any actual intrest fron the club has being shown. His apparent 30 million pound release clause seems to be a great price for this sort of quality. On another note moyes is clearly interested in midfield players and his first two sigings are fellaini and mata meaning his first course of action is what every fan and pundit has being saying for years which is sort out the midfield something SAF failed to do for years. So giving the signings and the quality of them I am more than happy for moyes to take his time and get it right. Thanks in advance to those who reply.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - Forget the release clause. Chelsea, Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal showed an interest in Marco Reus before his return to Dortmund last year. Recent tentative approaches made by Chelsea and Manchester City have resulted in a "not for sale" response regardless of their being a release clause in his contract. Manchester City are likely to push again as Dortmund are still looking to Dzeko as a possible replacement for Lewandowski and will look to ease a deal through by offering favourable terms on the transfer or a contribution to his salary, but Reus is keen to stay where he is for now.}

Thank you ed.appreciate the good work

Moyes set to be a dortmund game and have inquired about transfer for xhaka and have made progress with juventus about vidal. Heard nothing about bid or contact with southampton about shaw. Heard 1 team in league has made movements to sign him but not utd as of yet. Anyome aware of which team?

Believable3 Unbelievable10

I hope we go for Vidal and not get Xhaka, we could have Carrick, Vidal, Fellaini, Fletcher, Cleverly and Powell at the club for the CM spot next season, I think one more quality player would top us up nicely and I hope that the man we go for is Koke as we need someone with his passing capabilities. If we signed Vidal and Koke then I would be happy to let Cleverly go, although Carrick is nearing the end of his footballing life I feel.

Agree0 Disagree1

If you read the post, ed002 confirmed united have bid as have Chelsea earlier in the week.

Agree0 Disagree0

Moyes is in Manchester (the club just posted a picture of him welcoming Juan Mata). If he's going to be at the Dortmund game he's going to have to get a move on - given that it kicks off in less than an hour!

Agree0 Disagree0

My bad press were saying he was in dortmund for the game. I do apologise.

Agree0 Disagree0

Curtr-9, we can all read press reports. The way you were dictating future events made it sounds like you had inside knowledge.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002, before you clearly said we have an interest in Luke Shaw, but you didn't think we would pay the sort of money it would take to get him. Have your views changed about that? Do you think we are serious contenders for his signature now? Thanks again.

Believable11 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - I don't think Manchester United will match the valuation put on the player by Southampton.}

Ed002 - What is Southampton's valuation of Shaw and is the reported bid of £22m anywhere near it? Cheers

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - There is no point getting in to the money.}

Southampton value shaw close to £30M. Is shaw interested in a move to us at all?

Agree0 Disagree0

£22.5m is a strange bid, if there has been no discussions, hypothetically I suppose we may have been told a bid over £20m would be required.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 plus some add ons will get it done if we want to get there.

Agree1 Disagree1

Ed, just for a one off could you talk about the valuation. I work in finance so I know about amortization over contract lengths etc. Could you just quote the total fee etc, without having to say how it will be paid?

cheers

Agree0 Disagree1

We should certainly look to include someone in the deal, perhaps Fabio.

Agree0 Disagree0

Southamptons valuation is pretty meaningless. What's more important is how much they'll sell for and where does the player want to go.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Southampton's valuation is what they would want in order to sell the player.}

Yes Ed002, but, in reality, that's just an indication of what they'd like to get.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - Whatever you want.}

You are right Ed002, pedantry rules!

Agree0 Disagree0

Rio Ferdinand tweeting 'who are they there for' regarding cameras at carrington!
Luke Shaw is that true we have bid? Surely Chelsea would be his destination.
Toni Kroos agent with Moyes, hmm, rather Vidal!

Believable11 Unbelievable4

Mata on his way for medical!

Agree1 Disagree0

Would prefer javi martinez to be honest!

Agree0 Disagree1

Kroo's agent represents 8 players at Bayern munich and 6 at monchengladbach so just because he was there with him doesn't mean he's there just for Kroo's. don't get me wrong it love him at utd.
oh and his agent is not Xhaka agent either

Agree0 Disagree0

Is it Rio having some fun?

Agree0 Disagree0

Pictures of Mata at Carrington on the Daily Mail website.

You can bid for luke shaw all you want we ( southampton) are not selling. He loves playing under Mopo and he said no one that he wants to stay will go

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2014 00:02:55
Ed002 if your about, you have mentioned we have moved on from coentrao but that we're still looking at left full back as a position we need to strengthen - is the paper talk of a sizeable bid for Luke shaw just paper talk or does it hold substance? If it's just jargon could you let us know which full backs we are still interested in.

Also it's clear we have interest in Vidal, you've said that a deal would be difficult which makes me believe it won't happen until the summer. Do you know if United would look elsewhere if we couldn't manage a deal this month now that we have such limited options in the middle with injuries and Anderson's departure?

Thanks in advance

Believable7 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - A bid has been made for Shaw after it became clear another club had made a bid. Interest also remains in Filipe. Interest remains in Vidal - he will be the first choice and perhaps Granit Xhaka is still in the mind of the manager.}

Obviously Chelsea is the other club who have made a bid, with an outside chance of city.

Agree1 Disagree0

I would be very happy if we could get in mata shaw and vidal before the end of the window. We would be a totally different side. The board actually seem to be trying to change things quickly for a change

Agree0 Disagree0

Just can't see Vidal going anywhere this window. Going to be very hard signing a top quality centre mid this window.

Agree1 Disagree0

Thanks ed, are we right to assume the other club is chelsea?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Yes, there is no secret.}

Can you confirm that the other club is chelsea ed002 and are either of the offers likely to be accepeted?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Yes and no. The Chelsea offer was rejected a couple of weeks ago. A figure was provided as to what Southampton would want and the assumption was the summer would be a better time to look for a deal. If it looks like he might be available now, I would expect a further bid from Chelsea as well.}

Well no one can deny DM is trying, it would be dream land if Vidal came now. To be fair if the money was right for Juve I can't see why it couldn't happen assuming he is receptive of the idea.

Agree0 Disagree1

Top man thanks ed. If shaw had to chose I would be surprised if he'd pick us over chelsea tbh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Shaw is very open about being a life long Chelsea fan seems to me this chase is pointless

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jan 2014 06:11:53
Morning all not a transfer rumour yet but DM was in Germany to have a look at Alvaro Dominguez last night, I personaly have never heard off him.

Hello I heard that DM was sitting next to Toni kroos agent while watching bayern Munich they looked deep in discussion

Any eds know if there is interest in Toni kroos

Believable4 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - The only confirmed interest in Kroos is from Atletico. If he does not agree a new deal at BM he could well be sold in the summer, when there would no doubt be a lot of interest.}

Sascha Reese is also the agent of Gotze and Reus.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2014 00:45:22
Anybody.
Have we lodged a bid for left back luke shaw?

Thanks in advance lads.

Believable25 Unbelievable7

Yeah I think we have papers say its 22.5M for shaw.

Hopefully they accept 22M is a lot of money

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully the papers are speaking some truth for a change, would be a quality addition!

Agree0 Disagree0

The daily mirror are running the story though, there's more truth in an arsene wenger interview after a defeat than that rag of a paper!

Agree1 Disagree0

Hi to all you reds, saints fan here.
Sorry to disappoint you all but the daily rag has got it wrong Luke Shaw will definitely not be leaving Southampton in JAnuary.
If he does leave in the summer it will be because we have an even better youngster coming through to fill the left back spot. Also Luke is a Chelsea fan and that is his preferred destination if he leaves.
Moyes will have to look elsewhere!

Agree0 Disagree1

Most of what I read was saying that Chelsea have been trying to get him the last couple of seasons and he was being lined up for a move there when he wants. I hope its true though

Agree0 Disagree0

1x1 I appreciate he is a Saints player at the minute. However I think you are getting ahead of yourself here.

I don't See Saints being able to retain their bright players, You are a Feeder club.

Shaw is moving on, Be it this window or the next. Question is to who.
No doubt Saints will do well out of the transfer financially, but still a feeder club.

Agree0 Disagree0

I love the idea of it but honestly I think it's a waste of time because he's a chelski fan and they want him too so it's obvious what'll happen there.

Agree0 Disagree0
