Maurice Edu took over the AFC Bournemouth Twitter account yesterday after the joint press conference, and he was asked a slew of questions by people wanting to know his thoughts on just about everything - from the Old Firm Derby between Celtic and Rangers, the USMNT vs. El Tri, and his future with the Philadelphia Union.
The first question he faced was about AFC Bournemouth and whether or not they'd stay up in the English Premier League this season:
Hard to give an exact position but I think they will remain safe. #afcb https://t.co/eYID0UMZw6

He was then asked about his collection of shoes:
Haha around 400+. Winner take all? https://t.co/foGC0ucue4

He was then asked about this goal, which won not only the Old Firm Derby but the Scottish Premier League for Rangers in 2010:
It was an unbelievable experience and seeing the fans reactions was priceless. Ibrox was bouncing that day. https://t.co/gUFlpvrfTC

Edu talked a bit about the quality of Major League Soccer and how it compares to other leagues he's played in:
MLS is a growing league and the standard and product on the pitch is growing everyday too. Very athletic as well. https://t.co/YBbUz8kKwc

As well as if he was looking forward to playing against Bournemouth:
Very excited. Quality side preparing for their first season in the Premier league, Great game for the fans as well. https://t.co/vfyqMXJ0Z6

Then the question that was on everyone's lips - who does Mo play as when playing FIFA:
Arsenal. https://t.co/cbUWC2JnIh
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Edu was then asked who the best player he's ever played with was:
.@TimHowardGK has to be up there. The career he's had for both club & country & his World Cup performance, amazing! https://t.co/nVH2BjzuGj
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Edu was then asked if he'd ever play in England again if an English team was interested in him. His response:
I'm enjoying being here in Philly and being captain of a great club, but football's very unpredictable. https://t.co/d7InJMAOFu
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Definitely not the stock answer we were expecting. Not sure how to read into that, or if it should even be read into. The next question's tweet has since been deleted, but the one after that is also worthy of a video - what was the most important goal of his career:
Old firm goal at ibrox. Also, the goal that never was in the 2010 World Cup. https://t.co/zPWqSW1VR2
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Edu was then asked what was the most intense rivalry he has been a part of:
The USA/Mexico is very heated but I'd have to say playing in the Old Firm derby was the most intense. https://t.co/iqUv2fAZyP
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
His thoughts on Rangers:
I'll always love & support them & be a part of the @RangersFC fam. Can't wait until they're back in the top flight. https://t.co/iYUfqpbbVU
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Bundesliga or Serie A:
I think the Bundesliga is one of the most competitive leagues in the world. https://t.co/ee7oNj2dS9
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi:
Tough one, 2 of the greatest, but for me Messi. Having played against him, hard to see anyone being better. https://t.co/DPi3aQNw4O
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
Superman or Batman - ok so he didn't answer that one, but if you're reading Mo let us know!
He was asked about Cherries manager Eddie Howe:
Only just met Eddie Howe today, but very impressed with what he's done and accomplished with the club so quickly. https://t.co/3lGMNu50tm
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
The Bournemouth players he was aware of:
Distin bc of his time at Everton. Callum Wilson bc of the season he had last year and just met @TommyElph4 today. https://t.co/QmIVs9tqbE
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) July 13, 2015
And lastly his favorite memory with Rangers other than the aforementioned goal:
Seeing Ibrox packed with amazing fans and getting a chance to win trophies and play in Champions League. https://t.co/MRowaXQNp2

And just like that, the Twitter takeover was done. So what was your favorite question? What was one you wish had been asked (aside from Batman vs. Superman - we totally called that one)? Let us know in the comments below!
