In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) give meaningless friendlies the attention they deserve before questioning the whole point in preseason tours. Then they turn their attention to our squad and expectations for the season ahead - are we weaker now then we were last season: and where are the signings?

Yep, agreed.
Sarcasm alert.
His dogs are his brother and agent
wow that's a deep blow.
Haven't a clue what you're talking about
Wait till next week.
For me Matic is like a modern day Denis Irwin (different positions obviously) in that he almost never has a bad game, and often had very good games. Not sure if Irwin was thought of as world class, it didn't seem to be as big of a thing back then. Anyway I digress.
Sanchez!!!
So switch Sanchez to the right, put Rom in the middle and Martial on the left if it's that important to you...
Herrera----Matic----Pogba
Sanchez----Rom----Martial
There, 433.
Point remains, you can't put Pogba in mid 2 against decent opposition. Has to be a mid 3, and that's the best formation for big games. Interchange Herrera for New CM next season.
I'd honestly prefer if we play with the midfield triangle pointing backwards. It may not suit Lingard perfectly, but we all saw against Everton and Stoke how lethal Pogba can be when playing in this setup with that extra bit of freedom to attack.
Now we can agree
I also think that's the best setup. Maybe Lingard for Herrera.It's never too early to learn that football is the most important thing. In fact, the school is probably closed until the Sanchez deal is completed.
Thought it was quite sporty of Wenger to mention that whatever money we spend on the deal, it’s our own resources.
And a dirty sting to blew-know-who!Thought it was quite sporty of Wenger to mention that whatever money we spend on the deal, it’s our own resources.
People dropping our best player over the last few months from all their formations now that we have a new toy. If anyone needs to be worried it's Lukaku, not Lingard.
Tbh he's right.
Sanchez in for Juan, for me.
How is it even a game? Whats the reward?
Can I keep going with players we've been in for but not signed?
I wish I had a dog who was agent by day, cuddle buddy by night!
They both have been great. Love seeing Lukaku playing like this again.
Hoping Sanchez really invigorates the whole team.
But he's not. Lukaku won't be dropped for Sanchez. He won't be our first choice striker. He'll play in one of the three roles behind the striker. Sure, he might get some time up top, but he won't be leading the line for us on a regular basis. That's also ignoring the fact Lukaku is in quite good form at the moment.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sanchez and Lingard play in rotating roles at #10 / RW
Yeah. I more meant in the sense Lingard doesn't deserve to be dropped. As you say Alexis might play few games up top but I too expect him to interchange with Lingard. If anything I think Rasher's position isn't safe.
Ah right, yeah I agree with that. Lingard is firmly first choice at the mo. Mata though
His position on the bench? Seems quite safe to me. Martial's position on the left wing seems quite safe too.
Is it *** *** fappening?
No, nothing is happening right now. Maybe late in the evening but it's looking more and more unlikely. Tomorrow possibly.
Sheesh, he'll be retired before he signs for us.
Thought it was quite sporty of Wenger to mention that whatever money we spend on the deal, it’s our own resources.
Yes, as much as i hate him, that was good to hear.
I'm a patient man.
We're nearing his 30th birthday at this rate and then is when the wheels start to come off.
I'm not. I'm almost imploding
I want it to progress so bad and I'm not even kidding the F5 button is deteriorating.What disgraceful comment. Why would Sanchez poison the dressing room. Are you a bluemoon fan or something?
Arsene Wenger spoke about him and said one thing you can t accuse Alexis is his professionalism and commitment.
His teammates today spoke about his winning attitude even at training.
Woow, great deal! And please, put it on twitter, it will be fun.No point in the journalists having all the fun.
Yeah recently he has been on the bench but maybe he'll play even less now.
But he has been Martial's sub anyway I guess.
