Ed002, good afternoon.
Lots of reports today linking madrid and juve with player plus cash offers for pogba.
The players mentioned in part exchange groom juve are emre can or Raibot.
From madrid kroos.
Do you think any of those 3 players would want to join and of the 3 which player would suit best for United long term if a deal could be done?
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - They have plenty of players they could include as part of the deal. It is perhaps no more than the batch picked today.}

Adrien Rabiot could be a good signing. Good defensive instincts and work ethic with an expansive passing range, mobile and young enough to grow into the team.

Can I'm not a fan of, too inconsistent. While Kroos is getting on a bit and I wonder if he would have the appetite for the EPL now. Fast physical league when he's in this thirties and was never the quickest or most mobile.

Although not mentioned the other player from Juventus I personally would consider would be Bernardeschi. Excellent on the RW, creative, hard working and flexible enough to play RW, CAM, LW, RWB or LWB.

I would happily take Rabiot and Bernardeschi in a straight swap for Pogba.

Good. I don't tate Rabiot. Not wanted by PSG or Juve should tell you he should not be wanted by Utd.

Salford, he was wanted by PSG. He ran his contact down and left on a free last summer.

they fell out with his mother that says enough.

And PSG and Juve are much better than we are.

We do have form for taking difficult to handle highly talented Frenchmen and getting them to perform.

Like William prunier?

Wernt we linked with rabiot when he signed for juve in the summer? Wasn't he a free aswell? I can't see either wanting to join us in our current state, the club seems to have no direction do they.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, there was no interest shown by Manchester United in the summer - pleanty of clubs, but not MU.}

Hi Ed002. do you think United could reignite their summer interest in Rice considering WestHam position currently? I feel if we go step by step. then Rice now and maddison for summer shuold be the way forward for midfield.

{Ed002's Note - Right now it depends on what happens with the coach. West Ham do not need to sell and unless the player looks for a move it is probably unlikely.}

As of yet I'm not convinced by rice or the the money is would cost to purchase him.

Rice is so overrated. You’re looking at £80m to sign someone whose nowhere near on of them best DM in the league. Essentially a CB playing in midfield. If you want a top premier league proven DM you should be all over ndidi. Won’t happen though.

Rice is a cb.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - A DM.}

05 Jan 2020 13:22:09
I don't think Rice is any better than Dier. Don't want either.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jan 2020 16:40:01
Ed002 he is playing dm at the moment granted but imo he will revert to cb. I've watched him from a very young age and played nearly all his football at cb.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - MU wanted him as a replacement for Matic - so on that basis best forget him then.}

I hope so ed.

Declan Rice is just 20.
He has lots and lots of scope to improve and add attributes to his game although the asking price would be ridiculous.
