Hi Eds,

Is there any truth in Porto moving for Atletico's Herrera once they have sold Telles to utd? Paving the way for Atletico to confirm Torreira on loan? And as well, any truth in Guendouzi to Hertha Berlin on loan? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - (a) Herrera's agent says there has been interest but for now he "remains an Atletico player" - but he is a player they want moved on and I expect him to leave. (b) Atletico need space in the squad and hope to move players on today - including Lemar. So even if Herrera stays there may be space if others leave - Partey or Llorente for example. I would expect something will be done with Torreira. (c) My understanding is that the loan for Guendouzi is agreed save for the paperwork.}

Thanks ed. Any info on the loan fee for guendouzi and if it has an option to buy?

{Ed002's Note - No, it won't be known until the information is submitted to the TMS.}

If guendouzi and torreira go us that now leaving us short in an area where we wanted to strengthen.

I'm still clinging onto hope of signing Aouar. I know Aluas already came out and said he won't be sold, but he also said that about Depay (who is apparently very likely to join Barcelona today) and they already signed a like-for-like replacement in Paqueta. I think it is just a matter of us having to ship off some non-homegrown players to make space in our squad, and also get some players off the wage bill (via loaning them out) .

Let's pray!

Disappointing, but not at all surprising, that Guendouzi could not be sold and be done with him while his stock is where it’s at right now because I believe he will only continue to be exposed as average the more time goes by and I think we could be lucky to get 4 or 5M next year.

I'm happy with what we done so far but feel if we don't get a midfielder in we are going to be very very short would of loved partey or aouar but it's looking unlikely see what happens coyg.
