Good morning all. Question for Ed02 if about? You gave us an update on Bruno Gomez a while ago and mentioned Udinese's interest. There are a lot of reports saying that MU have beaten RM and Udinese to his signature. Can you confirm whether the newspaper reports are accurate? Are MU now favourites to sign him? Secondly, do MU have an interest in Koke? What is his situation at the moment? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - Gomes has previously stated that he wishes to move to Italy and we know that Juventus and Udinese have both held talks with his club. Manchester United hold part ownership of the player and were looking to take the player next summer as I understand it. Juventus is out of the loop, or so I am told, so there remains a very good chance that a deal will be completed. Somebody really well placed in respect of what is happening in Brazil has stated that there may be a tiny chance that of a delay in his arrival for a year - and that would see him move to Sao Paulo for that period.

Whilst Manchester United are interested in Koke, a deal for next summer is actually being discussed with another club.}

Every seemingly perfect potential signing for us seems to end up being in talks with another club!

Is the other club Barca Ed and is the deal for next summer looking likely or could we yet increase out interest? {Ed002's Note - This is simply normal businss and how the transfer process works. Yes the talks are with Barcelona.}

He keeps saying he wants to move to us. If we went in for him I'm sure he'd come but when there's Wilson, Keane and Byrne it doesn't make much sense.

Surely if athletico are talking to another club that united should seriously be making a move for him?he is a talent that's not worth missing especially as we need a quality cm like him and also his price?have we got any chance?
