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.

Hold the phone. This is might actually happen!?! What? WHAT!?
Speak for yourself and fecking don't care what you say.
So easy !
It won't. Neither will Dybala. We're done in the transfer market. Reverse psychology innit
Oh it's definitely happening
The Athletic are that group with all the decent journos now, isn't it?
I can’t believe i’m getting wrapped up in the hype for a Christian Eriksen deal days before the window closes. Being excited about the potential of this deal has to come down to some kind of masochism.
It's going to happen!
Having watched Coutinho at Barcelona, I just don't see it. Maybe his lack of quality just stood out in a technically superior team like Barca but I just don't see him doing any better for Spurs. I find his creativity overrated and even his long shots were more or less rubbish last season.
No way, Coutinho would level up Spurs.
Him, you fool!
I don’t think it’s hate, more in response to this dead ball ability everyone raves on about.
It's the calm before the storm. We'll get news later tonight or tomorrow morning. Still plenty of time for this.
yes. have several very reputable journalists with tier 1 contacts.
I'd say his corner technique is a deliberate tactic from Poch. Spur use every other available means to break their opponents legs - why should corner kicks be any different?
Eriksen would be a dream signing a perfect fit. At his prime. Still can't see hit happening.
The beeb are on it
*Edit: Gossip section
You fecker!
I'm a bit uneasy about this rumour, despite the weight of semi-reliable reports behind it.
Why are Tottenham selling him to us? We're a direct rival for top 4. They don't need the money.
What's wrong with Eriksen? I know he's 27, but is he showing signs of decline like Sanchez did? I can't get my head around why Levy is willing to talk to us about him.
I bet he's a Cat S insurance write off or something. When we lift the hood, he'll be Janssen in disguise.

Seems like it. I'm getting cautiously optimistic now. I know Simon Stone will pop up any moment to say he's not on Ole's list.
38pct LESS. Got too excited lolzy
Could he and Pogba both play together?
He’s creative, but I was under the impression he was a CM, deeper lying than a usual number 10.
Yep, agreed.
It is, but why not sign a deeper lying player?
I think Eriksen wants out, not the other way around. Levy will bleed Ed for every penny we have. It's David versus Bald Goliath.

Where would we play Eriksen? Very good player but I'm concerned it could be another case of 'square peg in round hole'.
United fans aren't very good at judging corners by our own players.
What the above stat shows is that putting in a decent corner is difficult for everybody. It's grass is greener syndrome.
I think Paul would enjoy playing the 8 if he has someone competent at the 10 position in front of him. I think they very well can. He's the perfect attacking midfielder.
My body is ready for this.
Only on this particular subject. Don't get annoyed lad.Eriksen never really fulfilled his potential for the danish national team before Aage Hareide - and if it's true that Ole has been talking to Aage about Eriksen, then Ole knows what he's buying.
And I really want it to be true, he would be a great addition.

How do you think we'd line up?
Eriksen is exactly that type of player who will let PP shine. We will have a level of creativity in CM on par with Kroos-Modric at their peak.
If this goes through it would undoubtedly elevate our window, and add some much needed creativity to the side. The thought of Eriksen playing with Pogba in our midfield is a dream.
It's quite logical from Levy. He has an asset with a declining value (1 year left on current contract). He has to sell this window to get a value of £50m.
His original plan would have been to sell to foreign clubs, but appears the offers aren't there. He won't want to wait until after the English window closes for risk that any outlay (Bruno, coutinho etc) is not offset by Eriksen departure.
I have a feelin' in ma water this is going to happen. If so then what a window!! Feckin hell!
So there's a chance this actually might happen now. Solid window if done but suspect it will be dependant on Lukaku leaving.
Ole has clearly set his stall out for a 4-2-3-1 this season, and Pogba is very definitely one of the 2.
Can Eriksen play as a part of the 3? Yes, no doubt.
The question mark is more over Pogba's suitability to the system than Eriken's, imo.
In terms of being able to play together, they're theoretically going to be on different parts of the pitch. So I don't see an issue with them treading on each other's toes.
