In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Liverpool from Southampton. Lallana, Lovren and Rickie Lambert in the same season
I wasn't expecting him to go for much more than 48 million if im honest. He was largely unknown until this season. I think some fans on here are over hyping him without actually knowing much about him.
Bernardo is a very good player with potencial to be the leading figure in our NT when Ronaldo's influence starts diminishing but he still has alot to prove. He has two good seasons at Mónaco, a decent U21 Euro campaign and that's it. Let's see how he adapts to the Premier League and to the increasing pressure and responsabilities in our NT. So far his NT career is non existent (although i have to mention the fact that he was unlucky with the serious injury pre-Euro2016). I do agree with @SCP that Guardiola seems like the best manager for him to continue evolving but let's see if he doesn't pull a "William Carvalho" that hasn't been the same since Leonardo Jardim stopped managing him.
Probably Southampton B....I mean Liverpool?
Pep has a plan, get knocked out of the CL and then sign that teams best players. Genius.
Ok I am a bit salty but I genuinely think even though he suits their style more that they don't really need him.

How much did he cost? Any official figure given?
He has done much more than William the last 3 years, my only doubt about him in England is the way football is played there, much better for him to play under Guardiola than Mou, ffs Mou is making players like Pogba, Mikhy or Mata man marking the opposition, he looks the Darth Vader of football, even though I have to congratulate him and United fans.
Jeez how did I forget that
Not in the our NT but that was not my point. I said that William hasn't been the same since managed by Leonardo Jardim. Although Guardiola is vastly superior in relation to the managers William had to play for, you can't deny Jardim's influence in his players.
For me, seeing his form take a dive from March was a concern and something City will be hoping was just fatigue rather than something more serious. He is an excellent player though and I think he has potential to be a good player at City for years to come. Silva if he reaches his potential and Sane on the wings is a scary thought when you think of a few years time.
His accent sounds almost American. Seems to be an intelligent guy.
So what's the problem? What the tweet said is true....
Nah, feel bad for City fans, they didn't even get to track his flight which is basically half the fun. Shitty transfer...
Trying to make it sound like they wrapped it up in a day. The negotiations will have been going on since the played in the CL at least.
We may have dodged a bullet here. He's a lot more suited to their system.
This is what I think as well. He will fit City's system to a tee but would have been underwhelming in a Mourinho system.
We require more of a pacey hug the line workhorse type winger, not another wide playmaker that wants to come centrally, we already have two of those.

The window's not even open yet. Give them chance.
Errr, no. That's how you avoid leaking to the press. The business took as long as most other business takes. You can't legislate for talkative agents/players/family/clubs.
Pff... feck em. To the next transfer thread!
Pep loves his midgets but wont count for much if he cant solve the defensive issues.
Breakout player of the year I'd say, Mbappe gets the headlines but everything seemed to start with Silva. No doubt their encounter up close gave each other a good look at one another, only natural that Pep would be impressed by his playmaking skills. Had no idea City were considering the player but impressive piece of business, Pep targeting difference makers on the pitch where City struggled most and executing deals early
Mbappe rightly gets the headlines because he is a phenomenal talent.
Fairly sure he hasn't signed anyone from Leicester yet.
Nonsense. They wouldve spoken during the champs league games. The press having no idea is a different thing entirely.
I'm sure he'll be very good, but he also seems incredibly similar to David silva and De Bruyne. Maybe the idea is to always have two of those three on the pitch, but then there's also Sane, Sterling, Aguero, Gabriel Jesus...
One good thing is now City can't sign any more attacking players as they are already jam-packed. So it will be one less rival to worry about when we go after a new winger or striker.
A player like Bernardo Silva is precious in the EPL and should have been a priority in the market.
A small Brazilian playmaker named Juninho who played for Boro said in an interview that, when you watch the english game you could think a small guy like him would never succeed in England.
But when he was in the pitch he realized that, in fact, be a small and agile player make it easier for him than for the taller players.
I think the club need to find a balance between physical players and some small, skilfull midfielders/wingers with low center of gravity.

Bite your tongue. Malouda was a great player.White Malouda
It's just May, with Caballero not returning I am sure they will bring in an excellent keeper to pair with Bravo. With fullbacks potentially closed, will they or are they already in pursuit of Laporte I wonder
I'm more curious if they go after a goalscorer
I'm honestly feeling sick from the squad Pep is building. The talent is extreme. Jesus, Silva x2, KDB. That alone is enough to challenge for anything. And there's probably more to come.
Fantastic signing for them.
He has the perfect mix of dribbling ability and pace. He's one I imagine we would have grown to regret passing on if it wasn't for our spending habits post SAF.

I wonder if they'd sell to us?
Always shocked at the number of people who think like that guy though.
