Quick question for Ed002 if your around and have time.
You stated yesterday that nothing of significance had changed yesterday regarding our interest in Vidal. You were under the impression a decision was going to be made (by Vidal) on his future by last night. Are you aware if the deal is still possible, and if he travels with Juventus on your this evening would you assume it would end the possibility of a deal?

Thanks in advance
Steve

{Ed002's Note - He is travelling with Juve but I would not necessarily rule out a move somewhere still.}

The "somewhere"line has me concerned. Do you know of concrete interest from other clubs ed?

{Ed002's Note - Yes, I have explained there is interest from elsewhere.}

Could bayern have an interest in a deal involving shaquiri?

Have a feeling PSG are the other club with interest, might be wrong though.

Here's hoping he sees his future with united and van gaal and that the board go all out for him!

With woodward spouting off that we can buy whoever we want for whatever the price it has to be assumed that we are not in for anyone else or why would it be dragged out until 2 weeks before start of season again. Poor transfer window again so far paid top dollar for 2 promising players and struggles again to attract any real established quality. Everyone going on about how LVG has got the current players performing which is great but imagine what he could do with quality players.

Thanks Ed.

002 has explained the Vidal situation numerous times. If I remember correctly the other teams where real, Munich and maybe barca.

Nothing was going to be sorted yesterday, I don't know why people keep mentioning it.

{Ed002's Note - They mention it because as far as Juventus are concerned the matter is closed as of last night when his ticket was issued. He had been given ample warning by the club and knew the two things he needed to do to make an easy deal of his transfer.}

Ed. Is there any new names that we are looking at, other than previously interest confirmed by yourself? Would it be cheeky to ask for a summary similar to what u have done in the past, or does this direct too much abuse from the clowns?

{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure about "new names" but I am now sure that the club will not buy for the sake of buying - three windows and the right players. Something could still be done with Daley Blind. Di Maria is about to become news - maybe a look? Maybe not.}

Thanks yet again ed. Blind and/or Hummels would be great. Most people don't want Di Maria for some reason, but personally I'd love him to join die to my Argentinian connections (wife and son). hence the name!

Thanks for the information as always Ed002 it's very much appreciated even though it isn't particularly great news if you're a United fan regarding Vidal. I'm certainly less optimistic now than a couple of days ago however, hopefully we will look at other players. Even though we have performed very well in the middle of the park during pre season I'm sure all United fans will agree that Herrera alone isn't enough and Blind, though a very good player isn't the world star that we crave.
