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.

When Juventus sell Vidal to Madrid soon - You'd have to think that Sweinsteiger will be the first name on their list of who they want to replace him with
...maybe the Van Gaal connection can sway him to come here instead.......Nuts to think we've never had a German in the first team at Utd.....Sweinsteiger would be the type of signing that would make a massive statement in Europe...he's a born leader......it would make my summer if we signed him

Since when does life end at 30? A 30 yr old world class midfield still has a lot left in his tank. He can play for 5 more seasons at a high level. That is easily worth 32 million.
Feel free to post a pic of your girlfriend....and we'll decide who is hotter
I don't know Kevin personally, but if he earned €10m a year he'd most certainly have a beautiful girlfriend as well.
32 million for a 30-year-old is way too much. Very surprised anyone would take that.
Doesn't matter to me aslong as we buy other players, not my money
€50m on Luiz is too much. Not even in the top 10 best defenders on the planet.
€32m on Schweinsteiger isn't a lot, considering he's easily one of the best midfielders around.
If you're good enough, age doesn't matter. Scholes was bossing teams at 35 even.
Schweinsteiger will cost maybe 20m €.
He's worth more than £16m. 30 is no age really, any top level professional should be looking to get to 34 at least without decline
schweinsteiger: 25 million id say.
he is not nearly as gifted as the spanish guys. He works hard. reminds me of ramirez a bit, just better on the ball

No chance we are getting schweinie, I can't see Bayern letting him go. He's a legend there
If you look at the German midfield partnership Khedira is the one who plays like Ramires, Schweinsteiger for me is much more similar to Matic if you have to compare him to anyone in the Chelsea midfield. He's not a playmaker like Kroos but he does control the game from midfield in a way that Ramires/Khedira never could.
control is hyper inflating him. He can give a pass like matic lets say can. but he cant dictate possesion like scholes or xavi could. They had to bring in lahm to MF to do the job proper.
He bosses the MF alright. but he wont dish the passes every match

Leave his woman alone, some people are just skinny!
Not sure what you mean. No he's not a playmaker like Xavi but he is clearly heavily involved in everything his team does and is one of the main players in controlling the game. Last season he averaged more passes per game than anyone in Serie A, the Premier League and the Bundesliga and only Xavi made more passes in La Liga. He's not a runner like Ramires or Khedira IMO. The only thing they have in common is good stamina.
A lot of teams passed up on a 32 year old, supposedly over the hill Pirlo for free in 2011. Juventus ended up with a bargain and a half. Bastian is 2 years younger, think about it...
How awesome would it be to get Schweinsteiger .. Though I am not sure Bayern would sell him considering how big a legend he is for them.. If they do sell him though I hope we get him..

Worth the transfer fee to see her in a red shirt alone. If there's ever been a more perfect photo taken I don't want to know about it.[/QUOTE]

Can't believe someone just said bleh to Sarah Brandner.
not being rude, but tom cleverly was making loads of passes as well. its not the pass the counts, but where he puts it. when you have to fork out 30 million for a 29 year old who isnt going to do much better than what we have already, i have an issue with. what you lose with fabregas with regards work rate, you gain in fabregas with regards passing ability.
You could easily get someone who will do as good a job as schweensteiger (wrong spelling sorry) but for a cheaper price. His type of player is plentiful. not abundant, but there are lots of them. a guy like verratti/fabregas/modric. they are rare.
maybe i have issue that we have not replaced scholes, so i would love to see a technically good player. If we bought schweensteiger and clasie it wouldnt be too bad. clasie from what i have seen off him has a bit of passing in him at least.

I personally think at this point in time playmakers like Verratti are relatively plentiful while players like Schweinsteiger are uncommon (at the top level). This is a player that just a couple of years ago many were saying was the best midfielder in the world. That was always very debatable but it was clear that he was among the best midfielders in the world and the only thing that has got in the way of that recently is injuries. I've wanted a Scholes replacement for ages and Schweinsteiger certainly isn't that so I'm with you there, I just think you're underrating Schweinsteiger in a big way. He's a significant improvement on our midfield and would be easily among the top three in the league.
Schweinsteiger's passing is high in numbers and quality. I think people look at him and see "typical German powerhouse midfielder" and overlook his technique (even though typically the German powerhouse midfielders allied great physique with excellent technique). He's no Xavi but if anyone needs a reminder of his technique...
Wow, never heard anyone say that Schweiny is a dime a dozen player and there are a lot cheaper out there as good as him!
I would say he's one of a kind, one of the very few players in the world that could play in a 2 man midfield at the highest level.
We have Mata, Rooney, Kagawa, Welbeck and others who can play as a no10/attacking midfielder. We need central midfielders, players who can defend as well or better than they attack.
I can't even believe we're discussing it, if a player like Schweinsteiger comes available, you buy him.
This!! 100%
Not really getting this argument. Sure, it's not your money but let's say the club has 100 million to spend this summer. It's absolutely crucial that we get as much out of of that money as possible, and spending that amount of money on a player past his peak reeks of short-term solutions rather than continuity and sustainable success. He's still a good player but that outlay can be more sensibly spent elsewhere.
How much was Fellaini... ???
Like 27m big ones on a 18 year old left back who's still wet behind the ears!
That's what I mean by aslong as we buy others. If he was our only midfielder this Summer I'd be concerned.
That would be money well spent in the eyes of every pundit in the country!
If you want a long term project, you need to fix the short term. Right now we need a proper midfield who can help us to qualify for the Champions League. We need to fix that this season, we can fix the long term project during the next transfer window or with our acadamy.
Not an injury prone midfielder tho!
I'm okay with that, but he was talking about his age. And Schweinsteiger isn't injury prone. It's the same injury who he delayed to cure.
And he should retire from the national mannschaft.
No questions asked if he's truly available. Nevertheless, I'm really surprised that Bayern would even consider selling a Bavarian superstar who lives and breathes Bayern so much that he grew to become their vice-captain.
this would be a dream signing, very tough to see this happening but who knows?the van gaal connection, and maybe bastian wants to try himself playing abroad, we all know he loves bayern but he has won everything possible there..might worth a chance making a bid here.
What's Van Gaal's relationship with Schweinsteiger like? We've seen players praise and others say his mental. Weren't there rumors back in 2010 that Schweinsteiger was thinking of a move abroad? We were linked with him along with Chelsea quite a bit at the time.
I doubt a possible transfer would be about the money. He was always an admirer of the English Premiere League and very vocal about a possible move back in 2009.
Now it would be more about a new challenge and experience before he's getting too old.
I have wanted us to sign him for years. I still do, despite his age and his injuries.
If he's available, I want us to be the top bidders - transfer fee and wages - because that's how much I want him in our team. If we do that and he goes elsewhere or decides to stay where he is, then I'll shrug and move on. But you know what they say: you've got to be in it, to win it.

People need to stop writing players off because they older.
For years we've been told players peak at 27, but this is clearly nonsense. It's received wisdom and is very rarely true these days. Professional players are still producing top performances until they are 33. Many players improve in their 30s. The notion that a 29 year old is past it is ludicrous - judge his performances, not his age.
Potential isn't everything. It has to be fulfilled.
