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.

Mods obviously not true believers. Lack of movement on thread title is very telling. It’s sad really.
But have they not given the money for transfers , £1b at the last count, its just been spent badly.
I’d love to unleash him against the Vermin on Monday night.
Crash! Bang! Wallop!

However, it also helps when the player hasnt been defrauded by his employers leading to an overly complicated exit scenario. I'm not sure if the player and his agent or Barca misled our people more but we definitely got led up the garden path there. We were naiive obviously and held on for longer than we should have but somebody at their end was definitely screwing us over giving assurances that were clearly fanciful in the extreme. .It helps when a player actually wants to leave
With Varane we all knew he had struggled with injuries. And it was a big name in a position which wasn't our biggest need. But still if fit he's our best CB without a doubt.
This is a player who hasn't had injury problems, in our biggest problem position for the past 5 years.
Bit of a Schrodinger’s element to it, though. One of our players is only good enough to get into the team while simultaneously being our player but having never quite been here yet. Because as soon as he arrives he’ll jump right into the clown car and start getting his foot stuck in buckets mid match. The best bit will be right before we open the box.
Not much
Some fans will lap it up.
Just seems like another shirt sighted transfer brought on by two defeats.
At least he'll generate clicks and sell shirts though ffs. For the record I didn't want FDJ either, would much rather Caicedo.
Yeh, I could easily say it the other way....he was 29 back in January
This is the real panic buy. He is a great player though. How many years could we get from him performing?
I hear you but why can’t we sign a 20 year old, proven world class player, and sign them quickly, for a good deal, and on low wages because they are dying to play for the badge, though?
He will be captain and a fan favourite by the end of the season.
It'll work too.
"#EmptyOldTrafford? Nah, they're parading our new Champions League winning midfielder before kick-off."
Yep.
So the money was there? From rabiot to casemiro because of protest.
I’m getting cold feet now. The thing about unattainable targets is that they’re supposed to remain… well, unattainable. Should we really be doing this?
So he’s 20…. but already word class…. and even though world class, he’d come to us on low wages?
Name him.
(unless sarcasm)
I’m sure you’d have had nothing to say had we signed Caicedo for big money when we didn’t pick him up for less than £5m last year…
Huh? How can he have a medical when we didn't even agree a fee with Madrid? Did I miss something?
DM's can play at a similar level well into their 30's. Also, he's arguably the best DM in World football. He will eventually start to fall off, but his positioning etc. will still be as they were, he'll be at least a good player until he's done here.
Sadly
Basically the only combination that would satisfy everyone in our, at times insane, fanbase.
Spanish journos are saying we have, close to 70 which was their valuation all along
Ungrateful is what I’d say
Salary circa £350k a week, similar salary to DDG according to this.
The real question is will he keep us up?
Wasn’t he the one who stayed late with Vinicius to play PlayStation before the el Classico match last season and Benzema publicly criticised them? Although, on the pitch his leadership in midfield is top notch everytime I watch him play. I rate him very high as DM.
What was his game time last season?
(what are we missing?)
(what are we missing?)
The fee isn't expected to be a problem.
Good signing
His age is irrelevant. Intelligent DMs can play way into their 30s.
