In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Arsenal don't ruin players as much as Spurs sadly.
Was talking about the reactions to this signing,i'm sure Wenger will get the best out of him.
Is that a Royal Enfield Bullet in the background?!!!
Ozil and Sanchez in the space of a year. Two of the biggest Caf muppet dreams of all time. Well played, Wenger. Well played.
Remy and Schneiderlein and they will have some team.
He could throw up a surprise but I think it will be business as usual for them 4-2-3-1 the players they have signed all lean towards that system. He could go 4-3-3 but his holding players would have to adapt. The thing about Jose is he is the funking best at being predictable.
It'll be nice to have a South American who's not a total shithouse.
That's got me thinking, who was Arsenal's last South American player?
We had the fat left back who will remain nameless, and Denilson. Our last decent one was Gilberto.
Just seen your new name
Of course. Other than Brazilians though, you guys don't really do South Americans. Is that Wenger and his scouting team or just coincidence?
Fantastic signing. Another signing, much like Ozil, where he doesn't exactly fill the the obvious gap that needs filling, but he's much too good to pass up.
I can't think of any English club that's had a lot of South Americans.
Edit: actually City and Chelsea have had a few.
Edit 2: This was in response to iBoss, not Brophs. What a disaster of a post.
I dont understand why he would go to Arsenal tbh, he wont win anything important there and will be stuck in 4th position his whole time at Arsenal.
I'm sure he could go to a much better club than Arsenal but if they pull the deal off then it's a very good signing for them.

I feel sorry for him. The only thing he won in his time at Arsenal was RvP's jersey at OT.
How does a club like Arsenal get back to winning major trophies if they don't sign the best/top players? Should they just sit around on their money and allow all the good players to sign for other clubs?
This thought process baffles me to be honest.
What does this mean for Theo Walcott?
Nothing - Sanchez will play with Walcott and Giroud or instead of Giroud. End of Podolski.
He'll be watching a different player from the treatment table.
Yep I think Poldi's days are numbered.He's put in a decent shift but I can see him going back to Germany..10-12M perhaps?
I suspect Wenger will convert Sanchez into a Henry type, with freedom to roam across the front line so it could be curtains for Walcott's striker ambitions.
This signing sends out a clear statement that the Ozil transfer wasn't just a one off. Wenger is loosening the purse strings at last.
Arsenal will challenge if they can stay injury free, no doubt about that.

We can't sell Podolski. That's immoral. Who's going to take the selfies and slag off Tottenham on twitter?
This is the thought process that so many people adhere too. I had a similar comment said to me at work today. It also baffles me.
Great signing for Arsenal. Ozil and Sanchez looks a potentially deadly combination. I'm just glad he didn't join Liverpool tbh.
He really pissed me off at WHL - nearly cost us the game, got hauled off eventually, then acted the hero jumping into the crowd at the end. Posing twat.
I wouldn't worry - Arsene agrees with you. I reckon he'll stay as the useful squaddie he can be for another year before a return to Cologne.
People are still banging on about Wenger's 'youth experiment' and 'reluctance to spend' when it's now proven beyond all reasonable doubt that he didn't spend because he didn't have the forking money.
Their most important and major signing so far probably has to be their new physio. The amount of injuries they rack up every season is crazy.
exactly what I was thinking as well. does look like it..
How does it baffle you? if i'm a top player i wouldn't look at Arsenal if i had other offers from better teams. This has nothing to do with Arsenal more to do with Sanchez picking them over winning clubs right now. Yes thats how Arsenal get back to winning by signing top players but my question was why would Sanchez pick them over other teams that are winning league titles now?
Gilberto was our last quality one, what we would do for another Gilberto right now. Vela has become a quality player, but that's after he moved on for game-time.
Joel Campbell is on the books currently and I'd like to see what he can do in England.
Superb signing. Özil will thrive with Sanchez and Walcott making runs from wide.
Vela and Campbell probably don't count if they're Central Americans. And don't forget that enormous Brazilian number 10 that came on loan.

How are they not central Americans..?
I missed a comma. They don't count as South Americans as they're Central Americans.
Damn this would be a great signing for arsenal. They could really push up a few gears with signings like him and ozil.
Those four goals against Liverpool
