Hello Ed002 I would just like to ask a few questions. I've heard a few rumours about a certain Javier Henandez being linked to Juventus. Also I remember somebody mentioning Manchester United being interested in Marchiso? Maybe a deal could be set between the clubs?
I would just like to know if any of this interest could be true in Hernandez and if we are showing any interest in Marchiso?
Thanks. {Ed002's Note - I think Hernandez is a long way down Juventus' list of possible targets that nothing will come of any interest they might have - and there is much stronger interest in him from elsewhere. And I don't see Marchisio moving to Old Trafford this summer Jake.}
I think if and a BIG IF Hernandez leaves which I for one would be unhappy about he is a modern day Ole after all. then it would be to replace Falcoa and we would get 20m which is good money I think we need to look how strong the squad really is I was in the opinon that we would buy a lot this summer but now I am swinging to maybe only one or two more not including Zaha I think a cm and maybe another winger I also see far more being moved on or retire and youth stepping up Keane and Powell could be ready for the big time.

Ed where is the strong interest in Hernandez coming from? {Ed002's Note - Atletico Madrid.}
Agreed Kate. Barkley and Rodriguez/Bale/Ronaldo would be a terrific summer for me. Ando, Nani, Hernandez and Vidic are likely to leave I think. By the sounds of it we will bring in another CB to replace Vidic even though I don't think we would need one if Rio stays another year.

For what its worth I see Anderson, Macheda, Lindgard, Nani, and Valencia sold. i'd like to see buttner and maybe even Young added to that but he has struggled with injuries this year and it's hard to see SAF adnitting these 2 were bad signings so soon.
In I think Garay is a cert, which with the wealth of cb's we have seems strange, he is a class act though (and 17 million pounds, not sterling but weioght of potatoes :) seems cheap). Baines is a strong possibility imho. Strootman (another class player) and either Ronaldo ( if Nike cough up) or Rodriguez if a reasonable price can be secure. Lewandowski makes absolutely no sense to this humble fool but seems a cert too.

Grund. ? So you can say Garay for 17m makes sense? But Lewandowski for 12-14m doesn't? Lewandowski is worth 30+mil
Barkley? If we only sign one cm, I really hope it is someone better than Barkley.
Obviously my writing is as bad as my team picking skill. I did not mean to say Garay signing made sense, in fact I said it seemed strange with our wealth of CB's. I fully agree Lewandowski is worth 15 m + but exactly for the same reason do we need yet another striker?
midfield, left back replacement for Evra seem to me where we should concentrate + youth of course.
