eds,

is remy cabella newcastle bound? if not, he'd be a great addition to the squad?

cheers, scott.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United like others have had someone take a look at him but Montpellier would not want to sell for anything but a very significant fee circa the €18M that matches a termination clause inserted in his contract renewal.}

Ed002, with Cabela grabbing all the headlines at Montpellier, Morgan Sanson broke through and has been improving exponentially. Have we been watching him?

{Ed002's Note - See previous answers.}

Ed, could you shed some light on our reported interest in Gundogan and what sort of issues there are with his back condition?

{Ed002's Note - It looked like Gundogan would be sold last summer and there was interest from Rubin Kazan and Manchester City. However, with Goetze going a season before expected, Dortmund were always going to look to keep the player and are looking to negotiate a new deal with him. Both Barcelona and Arsenal spoke with his agent but made no approach to Dortmund. Enquiries to his club have been made by Chelsea and Real Madrid and Real Madrid until recently seemed his likely destination - but given his injury issues they are now looking elsewhere. Chelsea has also no interest in pursuing the player. It had been suggested that Manchester United would try and strike a deal for the player last summer that is not activated until this coming summer - but that always seemed unlikely to me. There is still interest from Manchester United.}
