Hi Ed (s) . I know you've mentioned it in detail in the podcast, but could just give a quick run-through of the potential ins-and-outs in January? The internet is so bad here that I can't access the podcast! Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - I can only tell you where there has been interest and there is no guarantee that anything will come of that interest in January or the Summer. However:
Manolo Gabbiadini (last ditch attempt)
Sebastian Rudy
Sander Berge
Kasper Dolberg
Rafik Zekhnini
Rachid Ghezzal
Lamine Kone
Niklas Sule (won't happen)
Memphis Depay (Manchester United will look to sell and not loan Depay)
Sead Kolasinac (looking for a pre-contract)
Kevin Strootman (high risk - dumb move)
Josh Tymon
Ademola Lookman
Federico Santander
Out:
James McCarthy
Oumar Naisse
David Henen
Romelu Lukaku (Summer)
Liam Walsh

The one that sticks out to me is kasper dolberg big striker only young though and the way koeman played at Southampton he had pelle up top GREAT TOUCH and put a Decent shift in.
22 Dec 2016 11:44:55
Liam Walsh? I thought he was looking the real deal?
22 Dec 2016 11:45:22
I would have expected to see Brahimi of Porto and Sneiderling on the list Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Porto are in talks with another side about Yacine Brahimi. West Brom have held discussions with Manchester United and put an offer on the table for Morgan Schneiderlin. I am not aware of any approach by Everton.}
22 Dec 2016 12:05:30
No Schneiderlin?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach by Everton - if they are interested then they need to better the offer from West Brom and a talk to Manchester United.}
22 Dec 2016 12:51:28
Thank you for that Ed002.
What about Schneiderlein? I know he wasn't mentioned in the podcast but what's the chances?
{Ed002's Note - About zero unless Everton make an approach and make a better offer than that already made. Maybe they will.}
22 Dec 2016 15:56:37
Would Walsh be loan or permanent. Thought he was making great progress.
{Ed002's Note - They are looking to send him on loan to a Championship side - offers from Bolton, Charlton and Yeovil were made and rejected for loans in the summer.}
22 Dec 2016 16:08:19
Why would we need to better the West Bromwich offer then it will be uo to the player to decide? can't see why united would decline a matching offer from us when we have had no previous issues dealing with them?
{Ed002's Note - Everton won't be aware of the details of the West Brom offer and if they plan on any childish games like that then best forget him and move on.}

Thanks, ed. Could be an exciting January!

Ed do u think we will use Walsh as loan option to try and get lookman from Charlton instead of loaning lookman back to Charlton till the end of season as for rest of are transfer targets I will believe it when I see them signed on dotted line after there underwhelming end to transfer deadline day in august.
{Ed002's Note - The two are separate matters.}
