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.

I won't say those things I like De Gea and Pogba.
I just don't think the rest of the squad is all that, I guess you think the entire squad is underperforming but I think a bunch of it just isn't that good. Maguire is an upgrade on what you have (which highlights my point) but is hardly one of the best CBs in the world.
It is, and Levy will sell .. there's no way he's passing up even 50 million or so when he'll get nothing next summer. A deal can definitely be done between the clubs.
But, to go back to the start of all this .. then it's all up to Eriksen, and the ball is totally in his court.
He'd be mad to let our window close without signing a replacement and then being held by the balls to sell him well below his asking price. He's between a rock and a hard place. The only light is that if he does sell him to us, he gets the chance to reinvest that money this window.
It is. To reiterate I'm not saying this will definitely happen, but I can't see how it's been written off.
Levy vs Woodward.
Eriksen is a much better player than Mata and Lingard but isn't he close to reaching a point where he won't get any better. Also what sort of wages and contract will he be after. He is effectively taking a step backwards leaving a stable Spurs side to play Europa League with Man Utd. Spurs selling to Utd makes no sense either. surely they'd rather sell on the cheap abroad than a direct rival. Is Eriksen a Lukaku replacement if it is that doesn't necessarily solve anything. We still don't have a striker capable of scoring more than 15+.
With Utd's track record recently when buying from rivals re: Sanchez and Matic. I am just concerned that might be another one of those. Eriksen leaving Spurs and CL to play Europa League. Why?
Spurs fans tell me Eriksen hasn't beaten the first man in a corner in years. - Would fit right in at Utd.

If Erikson comes to United he knows he`s got zero chance of premier league or champions league next season but may win an fa cup,league cup or Europa league (imo very unlikely but possible ) . If he stays at Spurs he knows he will win nowt . He will also earn more money winning nowt at United .
This deal makes sense on every level. I'd be disappointed to say the least if we don't even attempt to get it done.
Don't bring that up again
Read back the last 50 pages for the numerous reasons he would have for joining United.
That doesn’t matter though? He’s one of the best players in the PL and if he can stay at that level for 4+ years then it’s a great deal.
I think we should play hardball and not go through with the deal until, in addition to the purported £50m Levy takes Lingard as well from our hands. I'm sure that idea will seem very attractive to a bean counter like Levy.
Bringing Lingard into the deal would taking value away from the deal - we might go for it if you gave us £80 million plus Lingard vs £50 million cash.
If we get Eriksen before the window shuts thats it. We're winning the Ashes.
talkSHITE saying Spurs want Coutiniho on loan.
Would be an interesting signing at the right price but he's not a world-beater. 60-70 million should be our limit.
As long as it's particularly smelly and fancy cheese then it's a deal.
We should offer them £50m cash.
Or £55m + Darmian
Or £60m + Darmian + Rojo
Or £65m + Darmian + Rojo + Sanchez.
Would make sense if they're willing to sell to United for 50 Mill.
cheeky bid for Steve Smith
Sure thing.
We'll throw in Sanchez as part of the deal too. Just don't ask about the wages, that's a sore subject.
interesting
Is it sad or funny that I would take the last one?
Sanchez or falcao were better player when got transferred to us. Would be bad strategy. Why cant we get a right wing or a creative midfield and a dm if we can pay 80m and 50m defense.
Not gonna happen, nor would I want it to happen.
Barca can feck off if they think they're getting 21 million a season for a loan.
Damn was rooting for england until smith was soo good
This actually might be happening.
I'm like a kid on christmas morning. Except I have an inappropriately massive erection. Well, relatively massive.
Just get it done Ed. Don't let us down.
When was the last time Spurs sold a prized asset to a Prem rival? Berbatov and Robbie Keane? Kyle Walker had dropped to a bench role when he was sold. He'd much rather sell to Real from 35mil than to us for 80mil.
Another Di Maria on our hands here...
Walker was dropped to the bench because he wanted to move. He was always better than Trippier and whilst not a 'prized' asset I'd still say he was an important one.
Ffs. People moan when we don't buy the top class players. Then when we attempt to, they're all Argentinian snakes!
Usually yes. But there's the very real chance he gets nothing for him in a season. He needs to sell before buying and wants to bring a replacement in this window. That's why this is being discussed seriously. Levy is between a rock and a hard place.
I’d be amazed if this happened. Can’t see Levy selling to us, they’re effectively giving up their CL spot.
Coutinho? Eriksen? Dybala? Fernandes? Robbie Savage? I don't care - any of them will do!!!!
Seen this said a few times, there's 4 CL spots and if Spurs sell Eriksen but replace him adequately then they'll still have enough to finish ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal. Maybe actually that's their ploy? Help ensure our qualification to stick it to their London rivals? Thanks Daniel never knew you cared
Total downgrade for Spurs that.
It depends entirely on which other clubs are interested. I agree - if Real, Barca or PSG come calling - we are likely to lose out. But there is no way Levy will allow Eriksen to run out his contract and and lose £60 million in the process. There simply is too much Money involved
No way
Everything they have done for him ? He has been arguably their best or 2nd, 3rd best players for the last 4-5 years. And what has he got to show for it ? What trophies ?
