Hi eds and reds hope all is well ed001 question please, are we going to get a striker in the summer or not? What position are we definitely looking at strengthening in the summer, hope your daughter is well.

{Ed001's Note - we are looking to sign one yes. Still searching for a keeper as well, plus a central midfielder.}

Hi Ed001.
With BR seemingly being under pressure to recruit more from within, can you see Rossiter being brought into the first team fold more instead of buying another midfielder. Would personally prefer to see the likes of him wisdom, illori and maybe even Wilson and ojo given a chance rather than spend more money, given our ffp stays currently.
Thanks eds, great work as always!

{Ed001's Note - Rossiter is injured or there is a good chance he would have got some chances while Stevie is out injured.}

Striker goalkeeper and midfielder?
gosh mate you're getting old :-)

{Ed001's Note - depends on getting rid of players first, but the names have been posted by either Ed002 or myself as we hear them. Ings, for instance, Trapp now looks to be totally out, midfielder is being searched for.}

Trapp would have been great. Have found ed2s note on goalkeepers
Btw do u know of any interest from us in benzema? Might be a tad bit costly but much better than ings. Don't understand the want fora mmidfielder rather promote Rossiter and try and keep Lucas

I know Liverpool are definitely interested in Milner, but I think he will resign for City if they offer him the length of deal he wants.
If we could also get Ings on a free transfer(compo) that would leave the transfer kitty for a goalkeeper and centre midfielder, hopefully a top drawer one.
I know the budget won't be too much with FFP to stick to but if we could sell some fringe players(borini, Lovren, Lambert, Aspas, Illori, Allen)then we could maybe afford a marquee player if we can attract one.

A top class CM ll cost us close to 30 mill. Where is the money coming without CL.

The new TV deal?

{Ed002's Note - No this season or next.}

Ed's why would a move for Trapp be out? Is it the new contract he has recently signed or is he not looking for a move away from Frankfurt?

{Ed001's Note - he is intending to stay, for now at least.}
