Any of the eds know if it is true we are looking at kroos and fabinho?

{Ed002's Note - Fabinho yes, Kroos is part of a major rebuild in Madrid and is being offered around.}

Am I the only one who can't understand why Real would let Kroos go? There isn't many better than him in my opinion.

{Ed001's Note - because he is lazy and not that good off the ball. Modric has to do a lot of running to make up for him. Kroos is exceedingly average, an expensive Cesc Fabregas, great if he doesn't need to break sweat and has time and space but awful if under pressure or required to make some effort.}

Very Fair point Ed01. Do you not think he would excell if united played Pogba Matic and Kroos as a midfield trio. I think that sounds brilliant or would the pace and rough and tumble of the PL be too much for him.

{Ed001's Note - it works against the teams that sit deep and let him play but he would be a liability when they don't. Just look at how Chelsea are suffering without Kante to do the running for Cesc. Teams would target him and get at him after a while.}

Yea and if he's not going to work then surely he isn't a Jose player. At the moment who would you regard as the best young mindielders in the world?

{Ed001's Note - Milinkovic-Savic would be the one I would say was best suited to Jose's way of playing. Big, strong, works hard, defensively sound and an excellent player with superb technique.}

Yea I've watched Lazio a few times this season and they're playing fantastically. He seems to be their unsung hero in the midfield. He kind of reminded me of a faster more te technical Matic. Do you know if there's much interest in him?

{Ed001's Note - yes, United spent a large portion of the summer trying to sign him.}

That would be an excellent signing. Thanks for the info.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

Since the eds have been talking about savic I've tried to have a look this lad looks amazing he's got the lot he's a beast.

Ed001, do you envisage Mourinho returning for Milinkovic-Savic either in January or the summer. Also if he did would harerra be the fall guy especially with the historical rumours of fall outs.

{Ed001's Note - far too soon to say about next summer but it is highly unlikely Lazio will let him go in January.}
