Hi Eds, the Express are reporting that an agreement has been reached with Lyon for the signing of Dembele for 70 million euro, is there any truth to this?

{Ed002's Note - As you know Manchester United are interested in Moussa Dembele but I am not aware of any "done deal" just yet.}

Ed, are we still in interested In Niguez or are we trying to sign him this summer?

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed - try searching.}

There is a lot to like about Saul Niguez but for me if we could sign any midfielder it would be Fabian Ruiz.
Not quite as strong defensively as Saul, but much more creative with his passing. He reminds me of a young Scholes. Able to play as the deepest midfielder as a playmaker, in the No.10 or as a No.8 as well as wide if needed, and able to do all roles with very little drop off in performance.

F. Ruiz isn't a bad shout much better then the likes of Neves.

I think Ruiz will end up at City.

I think Ruiz is One of the targets of Real Madrid.
As Ed previously said, Saul may be available to raise some cash. Hope we go for him and move on Pogba.

Hard to take any rumours seriously at the moment with the final decision on remaining fixtures still to be taken.

Who know if we will be spending figures like the OP quoted on any player this summer?

Thanks Ed, just thought it worth asking as the vocab in the article was more concrete than speculative.

{Ed002's Note - I am sure they are just teasing you.}

I did see that Moussa Dembele current club on Wiki was Manchester United, too long in the tooth to believe such things until a shirt is held up in the air.

Moussa Dembele would be a decent signing, although I don't think he is a vital player we need. With Martial and Greenwood we have two very exciting options up front. I'd be happy if we made Ighalo a permanent signing, he's a different type of striker who is already settled with the squad while not being at an age where he will be a long term block to Greenwood, who I honestly feel could be a first choice player within 2 years.

Now a top class RW and a midfield playmaker are much higher priorities in my opinion.
