Hi ed, any truth in the rumours that Liverpool want to buy Thorgan Hazard of us? Really hope this is not true. Thanks Ed.

{Ed002's Note - See earlier answers please.}

Mandzukic. - really? Luiz and £15m for a player whose actual value is roughly £15m itself?

No bayern would pay the £15 million and give us mandzukic for luiz not us giving them £15 million and luiz for mandzukic

Now we all know we need a striker, and I think a strike force of Diego costa, Romelu Lukaku and (immobile, lavezzi) we are set.

Another position however is the centre midfeild. Apart from the obvious player we all would want in rakitic, a player I'd like to be pushed for is Yann M'vila.

He has played in Rubin Kazan for past year and I think is allowed to leave, he is a great defensive mid ( or the 'makelele') and would asset us to great measures.

He is a really good passer and often will break up play and start a counter attack, and break down defenses. all good in That regard.

I watched him when he played at Rennes so I don't know if any of this has changed, but he is an awful tackler, he will jump in and pick up cards all the time.

But I'd love him! A brilliant player and should be a player worth considering

Also try looking In player profiles for him, I'm sure one of the eds will have done a write up on him from a year or two ago

Cheers

Ps: ed002, which teams re interested in M'vila?

Cheers

{Ed002's Note - M'Vila remains of interest to Inter who are actively try to get a deal in place. Previous interest from Fenerbahce, Napoli and Everton seems to have waned. Spurs were interested previously but moved for others. Newcastle have had a look as well. There is a certain amout of baggage that comes with him.}

Cheers ed, I've heard of all the problems he causes, inter are going to look strong next year I reckon, also, which teams are interested in Samuel Eto'o? Are fenerbeche? Cheers

{Ed002's Note - Roma are interested in 40 year old striker Samuel Eto'o.}

Thanks ed

Ed002 do you know what the plan is with T Hazard next season?
Cheers mate

{Ed002's Note - Assessment then probably a loan.}

Ed am I right in saying Mourinho went to watch him play not to long ago?!

{Ed002's Note - Correct.}

Do Chelsea have a preference which club to loan him to? Or if there are several acceptable offers, will they allow Hazard to choose. Thanks ed. =]

{Ed002's Note - The club will want to understand how he will be utilised - for example, Everton did well with Lukaku.}

Oh ok, like whether he'll be starting 20-30 games or what position they'd play him?

{Ed002's Note - They will want to make sure that the loan benefits the player.}
