In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

It would be like 'Catch me if you Can' except with really long and boring flights.
Are you against every single transfer apart from Huddlestone, Parker, fellaini and Barry?
You seem to detest the idea of anyone else being signed by the club.
Some of the worst rhymes in the history of poetry.
Or are the last two letters of 'lederhose' actually silent? As for the first abomination, 'Herera' and 'fairer' may rhyme on the Vulcan homeworld, I suppose. It's a disgrace.
It's not any worse than the contract that Adnan will sign that will lock him up for 5 years.Some of the worst rhymes in the history of poetry.

Reading the opinions of Brwnd and other posters who seem to watch foreign football regularly and know about this player, their consensus seems to be that he is good but nothing special. Paying 30 million plus for that reeks of panic buy.
Do not want.
They also rhyme in England, but evidently not Ireland. The lederhose bit was a poetic license.'Herera' and 'fairer' may rhyme on the Vulcan homeworld, I suppose. It's a disgrace.
We should be panicking. We are really going to struggle to hold on to our title with the squad as it is. As far as I'm concerned the only thing we should be asking ourselves at this stage is: Will this guy get into our first eleven? Undoubtedly he would so just pay the asking price, the time for trying to get a good deal has passed.
Brwned said he thinks he's good enough (Carrick's level), but probably not "a top player", ie. Iniesta or Xavi level.
Actually he thinks he can be better that Carrick. Thats good enough for United if thats the case.
I like this player, but we should be able to get him for 10M pounds and no more.
10m pounds would not even have bought Wanyama off of Celtic. That said, Wanyama is a very decent player.
Surely it's the club's business what we pay, all we as fans should care about is the player we might get.
Thats our problem... some teams that do their homework get players better than Herrera for 10M. Is up to us...
Join the "club" and overpaid for every player we sign or get the players we need at the right price? the scouts just need to start doing their job properly.
We have never got a bargain for a CM as far as I can remember(mid 80s)
Its either home grown or big money signings. Never a bargain like in other positions.
They do! We have got bargains. Just never in CM. Anyway Pogba was the one that got away.
He's still a good prospect. Plenty of things to like about him. But if they turned down £25 million I'd look elsewhere
Wasn't Djemba Djemba a bagain: Buy One Get One Free?
So
Would be more expensive than :
Mata
Silva
Cazorla
De Gea
While he's probably Bilabo's third highest potential behind Munian and Laporte
He is however a good passer and tries to do his bit defensively too. At 6 feet he's physically quite prepared for the premier league. Like a lot of youngish Spanish players in CM and AM positions he should score more goals. I think he's a great alternative to look at instead of Fellaini, but as Gill would say the fee is "toppy"

I will happily contribute $8 of my own money towards Ander. Get in touch, Edward.
This isnt football manager
I seriously doubt he's an alternative to Fellaini, I'd say we're looking to sign both. Herrera is probably the guy we turned to when it finally dawned on us that Fabregas wasn't coming.
It's not like we've never overpaid for players before, we payed too much for both Carrick and Berbatov at the time. Sometimes you have to pay more than you'd ideally want for a player, especially if the club your buying from is particularly good at selling for high prices.
We can safely assume that Baines and Felliani are pretty close which would mean us spending around 35-40m. Can anyone seriously see us spending another 30m on Herrera? That's a hell of a lot of money.
People are so touchy about their rhymes.
Shakespeare had some dodgy ones as well, but when Marlowe laughed at them, he got angry.
Poets.
His movements on the ball reminds me a lot of Busquets. Both of them like that quick stepover from a standing position.
Angry? It's Friday night, I'm buzzing to feck right now.People are so touchy about their rhymes.

You mean it just dawned on us a few days ago?
We could maybe get Matic for this amount. A much more of a sure thing.
Matic is a much more deep lying midfielder than someone like Herrera, they aren't like for like.
Ha, not quite. We just seem to be a bid slow moving from bid to bid, for whatever reason. For all I know we might have looked at someone like Modric for a bit as well. Anyways, Moyes supposedly said we were looking for two cms, so Fellaini + Herrera makes the most sense at this stage.
You're a vibrator?
I think we'll be lucky to sign 1 CM and that would have been the case all summer.
So this has been rejected then? Who's next?
Matic would have been more of an alternative to Fellaini.
