Ed are you able to confirm whether united have made a revised offer to juvenile, or whether in your opinion there will be no chance of a transfer in this window.appreciate it "has been done to death"!
{Ed002's Note - I will guess that there will be movement on a number of transfers Wednesday and Thursday when a bunch of the key personnel are from the various clubs involved with the likes of Di Maria, Vidal and Guarin are all together in the same place. There will be preparation being done already but this week offers the opportunity to try and complete some business. Trying to get updates every 5 minutes doesn't help.}
1.) I understand you don't like to speculate, but I will ask. at this moment in time, in your opinion, do you think United will sign either Vidal or Di Maria. I think there the two names were all interested in one way or another. Totally understand if you don't want to answer
Thanks
Steve
{Ed002's Note - Sure, I think there is every chance.}
2.) Thanks for the info ed! Sound exciting! (Hopefully) are we trying to sign any more defenders? Hopefully a world class centre back.
Thanks
3.) Thanks ed

Rumour that preliminary talks with juve about vidal have taken place. but no negotiations
1.) How can talks take place but no negotiations?
2.) @Fresh clearly we are negotiating wether we will bid and who will blame who once it invariably breaks down :p
3.) Fresh,
Ignore the fact what was posted makes no sense whatsoever, it's good news lol!
4.) 08 Jul 2014 09:48:27
Perhaps that's what we did last summer? had chats with various clubs about players just to be social like with no importance on negotiations.
5.) Tbf I think last summer Woody just fancied a wee drink to make some new friends

Hi Eds,
Apparently we are being linked with Stefan Radu, do you know if there is any substance to this? I can't say I know anything about him
{Ed002's Note - I am aware of interest from elsewhere but not MU. Take a look at Espanyol's Héctor Moreno as he has become of interest.}
1.) Hector moreno must have played for lvg at az alkmaar.
2.) 06 Jun 2014 19:36:31
Ed002 looks a very good signing, he has played before in Dutch a League for LVG. His attributes Reminds me of both Ferdinand and Vidic in their prime
A players I would love to see at Old Trafford is HULK, Fabregas, Shaw, Clasie and Indi plus Moreno.

Seems that vidals knee has gone during a training session. If that's true feel very sorry for him. No one wants to see agreed players career ruined by injury.
1.) Talk he may need an op Juve knew his knee was sus that's why he played last game before window closed trying to suck Utd in
2.) If this is the case, as it appears to be, than it was a very astute non-signing. Similarly for Strootman, let him prove he's fully recuperated before we spend the money. Many players come back from serious injuries without ever being able to recapture their form. They may not be in Vidal's class but all the same their performances have dropped off since returning to the team.
3.) 04 Sep 2014 22:13:00
Poor lad, feel for the guy I really do.
Such an amazing player, can anyone shed light on this knee injury by that I mean wot the problem is? Did he push it to hard getting fo world cup?
4.) He had a "partial lateral meniscectomy" op in May and was probs rushed back to early, unfortunate for the lad, he's a great player, I hope he can get over this but like most injury's you need to give it time to heal.
5.) 05 Sep 2014 09:13:14
Apparently the op he had was rushed, and not upto standard. He needed time to recover then have an op that would have fully repaired the damage. But that would have had him out until November time, so they gave him an op to repair it enough for him to play in the world cup. But knowing that there was a strong chance that he would break down and require more surgery at some point. But it was a gamble Vidal was prepared to take in order for him to be at the world cup. Its likely that this report recent break down will require another op which could keep him out for most of the season. Vidal knew this was a possibility when he had the op, but like I said he was prepared to take the gamble so he could play for Chile at the world cup.
Or at least that is my understanding.
6.) Difference between Vidal and Strooman Vidal got a botched on his knee and played in the world cup like what the chile coach said this is why united didn't want to spend silly money on him wheres as Strootman hasen't played in a long time don't know how long but has had a recovery time

More shots, more possession, but poor defending cost us this game. Jones and smalling played well, but it's clear we need a top class midfielder and pace in the team to sort th
this out
1.) I agree completely I think the pace needs to come on the right either cuadrado or di Maria? Vidal is needed with fletch as backup? Defenders all liked ok today n with a experienced quality defender like hummels or benetia they will have a leader to organise them? Today you could see Rooney mata adnan also herrara should show there class this season IF we put 3 more class players in because the players we all know that shouldn't b there are not good enough? A big couple of weeks ahead either way?
2.) Totally agree. The team fell apart because of poor defending from midfield and a lack of ability to cause troubleshooting some speed. We need desperately a new left sided centre back. A ball wining midfielder and pacy wing backs. We'll have to cope with shaw out but there is zero cover. We will be better away from home I think but home form is going to be a problem until we sort this out. Woody get your cheque book out and sign van gaals targets!
3.) We need pace down the middle too and unfortunately mate always pulls back as he knows he will not beat the covering cm for pace.
4.) 16 Aug 2014 20:47:35
Welbeck could offer pace through the middle Shahram mate;-) lol.
5.) Shappy
I also meant someone who has good control and nice touch and passing which rules him our completely LOL.
16 Aug 2014 09:31:20
Hope all our defenders come through unscathed or we'll be playing the under 15s soon
1.) They might do a good job. The under 15s that is;)
14 Aug 2014 17:12:13
If the only player they bring in now is blind, that will be in my opinion an awful window. Failing to deal with central midfield weakness. Shaw out for a month etc
1.) 14 Aug 2014 17:32:34
I will be extremely upset if we sign a blind player, we should at least be targeting players with perfect 20/20 vision. Sorry I couldn't help myself!
2.) You mean the window we've signed one of Spain's most promising box to box midfielders, a left back who will be in our jersey for years and years and, if we do sign Blind, the Dutch footballer of the year who is an incredibly accomplished defensive midfielder in Holland. The names who have held that award are some of the greats. Van Basten, Bergkamp, Van Bommel, Van Nistelroy to name a few.
Calm down. the editor has said countless times how long the transformation of the team is going to take in terms of transfers. Those three would be a fantastic start.
3.) 14 Aug 2014 18:32:21
I personally think its been another average transfer window.I know it's not over yet but with all these reports of between 150-200 million supposedly available it's not looking good.Heres hoping
4.) Come every window needs a Blind. lol.

Hi ed
We are now being linked with kovacic from inter. Do you know if this has any substance?
{Ed002's Note - Twitter is this?}
1.) Nope, but since you put it in that way the answer is no substance
Droylsden red's rumour replies
Never seen basa but both he and kjaer look pretty strong
Does he raise the quality of the team? Not for us to care about the money
Thanks ed
From what I heard Syd is rather svelte
Anyones name on the back of the shirt?
Droylsden red's banter replies
We've had all summer to strengthen our biggest weakness: defence. Phil Jones is going to be a busy lad. Our defence will get moidered by the likes of Chelsea and City.
Unlikely he's fallen out. More likely lvg doesn't rate him

But we'll be back.looking forward to a great season of ups and downs with lvg
Thats a Relief!
