Hi Ed002,
Do United have any interest in Yves Bissouma for the defensive midfield position?

Also, are there any updates on Declan Rice and Saul Niguez?

{Ed002's Note - Yves Bissouma (CM/DM) Brighton will resist any approaches. He shares and agent with Pepe who he spent a season with at Lille and the agent failed to persuade Arsenal to move for him - and since then they have signed Partey and a change in the decision process at Arsenal means any move is unlikely. He is another who would be off to the Africa Cup of Nations in January 2022 and not Home Grown makes him less attractive to most English sides although Liverpool and Monaco have spoken with his representative.

Declan Rice (DM) Price is against a move but there is some interest from Manhester United.

Saul won't be moving in January.}

Thanks Ed002,
Glad that we are interested in a top DM.

{Ed002's Note - Don't loose sight of Konrad Laimer either.}

Tris how much have you seen of Laimer and what do you make of him? Not seen much myself to have a concrete opinion of him.

And Merry Christmas to all.

{Ed001's Note - I have seen RBL play a few times but honestly can't remember him from those games, so not sure if he didn't play or just because I was focused on others I never spotted him. I have only seen them while doing profiles on other players, so it is quite possible I never noticed him. I will add him to the profiles list. Though at the rate I am getting round to them he will probably retire before I get to him!!!}

Or he might have already moved clubs maybe even to us by then lol.

BTW I wasn't taking a shot at you Tris; just referring to the fact that a transfer window is fast approaching.

{Ed001's Note - I wasn't taking it as a dig, he will have probably made 5 or 6 moves by then!}

I'm a CFC passing by but I regularly watch RBL. Laimer is a player an my manager would want in their team. He can play in variety of roles such as a box to box midfielder and DM. He also played a lot as the RWB last season when Klosterman was moved to CB when we had a lot CB injuries and played very well there. Great player and is the engine of the midfield. As a RBL fan and also a CFC fan I would be gutted if he left to you guys.
