Hey Eds - anyone in for either Rojo or Jones?

{Ed002's Note - Fiorentina enquired after Rojo - Italy is one of the countries he is able to move to. Phil Jones signed a new long term contract earlier in the year.}

Is Rojo able to move to France?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I am not going to start listing the countries that will and won't let him in to work.}

Thanks very much Ed - so Jones stays and Rojo has the ‘For Sale’ up.

{Ed002's Note - The Jones situation may depend on Smalling and what happens there - right now he is priced out of a move to Roma even though they have a new owner coming. Rojo is most certainly up for sale with interest from Fiorentina who will look to an offer of no more than €10M in the summer. No doubt his "agents" (and I use that term loosely will be looking for a solution elsewhere as well.}

Thanks Ed. Smalling seems to he’s settled well into Italian football according to reports.

Anyone else for sale at Old Trafford?

{Ed002's Note - Chris Smalling (CB) The amateurs need to drop the asking price and a move to Roma can go ahead
Nemanja Matic (DM) Possible option for Inter but not first choice
Marcos Rojo (LWB/CB) not wanted - Fiorentina interested
Angel Gomes (CM) wants out - interest has been shown by Borussia Dortmund but the player says he would be open to a move to London if there was a guarantee of playing time - also on Barcelona's lengthy list of Free Agents they are looking at - can talk to interested no English or Welsh sides from January 1
Paul Pogba (CM/AM) wants out - interest from Juventus and from certain parties at Real madrid
Tahith Chong (RW) wants out - interest has been shown by Bayern Munich and Juventus - also on Barcelona's lengthy list of Free Agents they are looking at - can talk to interested no English or Welsh sides from January 1
Juan Mata (AM/RW) Will almost certainly move on in the summer
Alexis Sanchez (LW/F) Inter will keep him but he needs to agree a significant cut in his financial demands}

Re Smalling. According to the media United are asking 20m euros for Smalling. Considering his performances this season where he is considered as one of the top defenders in Serie A and the fees being asked for the likes of Koulibaly, I don't think 20m euros is high. I find it rather low tbh.

{Ed047's Note - anything above a fiver is high for Smalling dev.

Smalling, playing well in Italy. It's hot most months, lovely place to visit and live. Let's go back to United.

So Gomes hold end up at Wimbledon maybe? Presuming Barca's short list is somewhat of a LONGlist if Chong and Gomes feature. They have something, but Barcelona level? They need to improve alot.

Smalling is a much better defender than some give credit for. He is better than Rojo and Jones.

I think we have had enough of Jones, Smalling and rojo as united fans.
Smalling is the best of the lot, but we needed a change and if he moves to Roma he plays in an easier league and we get some money for a 30 year old.

Why are Gomes and Chong wanting out, lack of game time?

Damn shame about Gomez and Chong. Don't blame them though. They are being held back at the club.
