question for any Eds I have heard Giroud will have talks over the weekend have any of you guys heard anything and regarding Lukaku do you think he will settle for Utd (which I'm guessing is his agent pushing him that way) or do you think he will try and hold out for Chelsea as that's where his heart lies.

{Ed002's Note - Giroud will have talks with who at the weekend? Manchester United are very keen on Lukaku as you know. There is no offer from Chelsea at this time for reasons I have explained. I appreciate everyone is saying the move to Manchester has been agreed but I personally am not so sure everything is quite settled just yet, but I expect it can be.}

sorry ED heard a rumour Giroud will be having talks with Everton this weekend and I don't think it is a done deal my question was do you think Lukaku will listen to his agent and sign for Utd if they have a bid accepted or will he try and hold out for Chelsea.

{Ed002's Note - As far as I know Arsenal would need to give permission and I don't think there has been much more than a tentative enquiry. Another side has met with Arsenal this week but they are likely to step back - he is not their first choice.}

Hi ed002

Is it your expectation that Lukaku will be a Man Utd player there's many conflicting reports and I'd appreciate your input.

I'd imagine your fed up of the Lukaku questions so I do apologise

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I am not interested in predictions Dave, but when everyone got the Kleenex out earlier it was premature - again. I would think something can be done with Manchester United.}

the rumour of a done deal for lukaku is definitely premature with some outlets reporting efc leaked this info with the hope of starting a bidding war. personally tho i hope it is done sooner.

Kleenex and premature, now I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere.
