Eds sorry to bang on about him but I'm quite excited about the possibility of signing Contrao from Madrid. He is quality and whilst I appreciate there is plenty of interest in him from several clubs do you think he would be interested in coming to us and also do you believe as reported his agent Jorge Mendes has had contact with us about him?

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United, Monaco and Juventus spoke with Madrid about Coentrao in January and Spurs have shown an interest but a chance of taking him last summer makes it look like that interest has waned. However, Real Madrid asked the player to stay until the end of the season so nothing happened in January. Certainly Jorge Mendes spoke with Liverpool in January and at that time the club said they were not interested. The player would not object to a move to Italy should the opportunity arise and Juventus may give him that opportunity, perhaps as part of a package deal that could see Morata, Coentrau and Di Maria go in an exchange for Vidal or Pogba if Real Madrid push hard enough. The player has said that without guaranteed game he would like to move and interest will still be there from Manchester United, and as Liverpool are looking for a left-back, perhaps they will bid for the player. Jorge Mendes was in Manchester and Liverpool in late January to talk to the clubs about players and was in the London at the end of March talking to another club about two different players, but as far as I know he did not meet again with Liverpool then.}

Wow. Great detailed reply mate. Thank you, appreciate it.

Will keep my hopes up on him as its a position we need to strengthen.

If you hear any more Ed please share.

{Ed002's Note - If there is anything new, then I will say.}

any chance of di maria without real madrid guiding us to a suarez deal like a matador to a bull?

{Ed002's Note - I cannot sensibly answer questions with "any chance" in. This is the situation with him: PSG may well return with an other offer for Di Maria and it is possible that Arsenal and Manchester United might follow up on previous interest. The player would not object to a move to Italy should the opportunity arise and Juventus may give him that opportunity, perhaps as part of a package deal that could see Morata, Coentrau and Di Maria go in an exchange for Vidal or Pogba.}
