Was wondering if any of the eds are around, if you could shed some light on this nemanja vidic story that he's leaving in the summer has any truth to it?

Cheers in advance!

{Ed002's Note - He has made it clear he will not sign a new contract - so he will have one last hooray elsewhere with a big signing on fee.}

Jones and perhaps Garay to replace Vidic and Ferdinand? If that's the case we will need to promote Keane and we will need possibly two new central midfielders in the summer. Over the next four windows I think we will be spending a few bob. I can see a good £150m-£200m being spent in the next two years.

Well I wish him all the best and thank him for his fantastic service to the club.

He clearly isn't the same player now and with Rio and Vidic in the team we sit too deep.

In my opinion Rio could stop, but as back up, he isn't going to be capable of playing a lot of games for anyone.

Long term we need a partner for Evans who isn't going to be injured all the time like Jones. I love the guy but he is very injury prone. Garay would seem seem like a ready made UTD player and like Sydney stated Keane will soon be ready to come into the squad too.

As we are in a nothing season should we then look to promote Keane earlier than expected to give him experience? Real shame as Vidic has shown what a difference he has made since his return to the team - surely they shouldn't have let his contract run down?

Sydney, I agree. Jones and Garay to replace Ferdinand and Vidic would be ideal. I think Keane needs promoting and I think Varela may need promoting if he sorts his head out or whatever it is that took him home. We need to be looking in the world class bracket, Garay, Coentrao, Vidal, Koke and Reus are all very good players with some being world class. They are the 5 that I would go for.

Fresh, Varela's parents were involved in a car crash. That's why he was granted leave mate.

I'm going to give my 5 pence worth, although I would be happy with Garay I also feel Mangala would be a good acquisition, he may be rather pricey though.

Good luck to Nemenja. He's been a great player for us since him and Patrice Evra arrived in Jan 2006.

Thanks edd02. Asides from garay who we've been linked to for a while is there anybodg else in the cb position moyes has his eye on?

{Ed002's Note - There is nothing new.}

Ed, are we interested in Kurt Zouma? Which clubs are interested? Where is he most likely to end up?

Thanks for your time, ed.

{Ed002's Note - Inter, Napoli, Manchester City and Chelsea remain interested in Zouma. Arsenal and Manchester United looked at Zouma previously and may show further interest. His price makes him an attractive proposition and talks have been progressing with Chelsea.}

Ive heard about zouma a fair few times but never seen the kid play. How good is he now and how good do we think je could be? Would love some feed back from anybody that's in the kno.
Cheers!
