Ed are we interested in Goretzka and do you think he will move in the summer?

Isn't it spelt Goetze? ;)

HBadger

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha no HBadger its a different player. Labeled the next Michael Ballack, there are rumours of us scouting him. Ed do you know anything about this?

Dan {Ed002's Note - There is pleanty of interest in the youngster from clubs across Europe but I doubt he will be moving out of Germany this summer.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha was in a silly mood earlier :) never heard of him TBH, Dan. I'll have to keep an ear out for him in future!

Agree0 Disagree1

Ed002; do you think there is any chance of Gotze this summer?

Secondly, and please can you answer this, who are out targets or at least who have we looked at recently for CM? E. g. Thiago or anyone else? A short list would be perfect if possible!

Thanks,

rpc {Ed002's Note - I cannot sensibly answer a question with "any chance" in it. As for midfield, Manchester United remain interested in Strootman.}

I was going to ask about Gotze too, i've only seen him once for Germany against one of those stan Kahjikstan or similar and on FM2013 of course :). Noticing quite a few papers linking him with us.

Perhaps someone could comment on Hayden White ( never seen him) but I see him linked too.

Grund {Ed002's Note - Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona were previously knocked back by his club although Goetze has identified his favourite teams as Barcelona and Arsenal. There has also been interest also from Real Madrid, Juventus and AC Milan - who I suspected were shifting their interest in previous interest in the likes of Ganso or Fernando to Goetze. I would expect Manchester United will look to the player again at some point but I rather doubt he will move this summer.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Is Graham Hunter right that we have approached Barca for Thiago?

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Ed002, looks like a move isn't likely this summer then by the sounds of things.

As Fresh said Ed02, have we approached Barca about Thiago / are we interested?

Thanks

rpc {Ed002's Note - There has been no approach I am aware of.}

As things stand, the plan for next season is to convert Rooney into a midfielder and have Hernandez/Welbeck involved in a lot more games next season.

However, should a reasonable bid come in for Rooney during the summer transfer window. chances are that he will be sold this summer. If this does happen then a bid will be placed for Luka Modric, who Fergie still rates very highly.

Believable6 Unbelievable32

Luka modric will stay in spain

Agree2 Disagree1

After last few matches how can we think of selling Roo, at present he is the only likely scorer, Welbeck goals, this season is pathetic for a forward we cannot rely on him to score, RVP is right off form as well. If players need offloading let's start wirh Nani his display v chelsea was abysimal and he is usually only a passenger. Midfield is lightweight and desperately needs improving, a fit Anderson at his best is the style of midfielder that fits the bill. Baza

Agree1 Disagree0

I'm going to say it again Bazza, Ross Barkley. :)
Might take him a season to breakthrough but when he does, he will be sensational.

Dan

Agree0 Disagree1

Great to see SAF posting on this website. oh wait its actually someone who know nothing about what's going on at the club.

Does any one agree with me when I say United need to sign Kurt Zouma of Saint Etienne.

He is only 17 and would be longterm replace ment for Ferdy.

I think he is going to be a much better player than Smalling.

WHAT DO U THINK EDDS.

KAYLEM1300 {Ed002's Note - He plays for St Et and much is expected of him. Arsenal looked at him about a year or so ago. Manchester United in the summer and Manchester City recently. The Milan clubs and Juventus all see Zouma as a cheaper option to Benatia.}

Believable9 Unbelievable5

I agree with you - zouma to utd!

Agree0 Disagree0

Would this not disrupt the development of keane wootton and thorpe

Agree0 Disagree0

Smalling still young a good enough with more playing time to be the next rio keep the english players and use them!

Agree0 Disagree0
