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.
If we could get him for around 15-17M I'd consider but 30 is way overpriced.
Could buy him on last years FM for peanuts. Always took the option, therefore, we should go for him (I am aware there is a logic gap in my thinking).
€30 million is his buy-out, I wouldn't be surprised if we got him for around £10 million.
Never seen him play but from what I've read he's an absolute machine in midfield. Started his career as a winger, so will probably have the dribbling ability to go past players through the centre to open up space.
Is this Jan Hagen a supposed portuguese football expert? How is he a victim of Jorge Jesus experimenting? It´s the opposite. Perez came with the reputation of being a very good winger at Argentina top flight, failed miserably and was loaned back to Argentina. Then he returned and Jorge Jesus moved him to CM where he excelled and became one of the best CM in Portugal. He gained from that move, rather than being a victim. It was thanks to that Jorge Jesus move that he now goes to the World Cup with Argentina. If it wasn´t for the fact that he is 28, he would be definitely worth 30 million euros.
If we're paying 30 mil for Shaw, then expect us to pay loads for other players too.
The £10 million fee would be good, he's a hard worker and will get stuck in, full of commitment and occasionally some rashness. He did a very similar job to Matic in Benfica's midfield when I saw them. He'd add energy, tackling and closing down with a decent pass, wouldn't expect that many dribbles. In the champions league he averaged 0.8 per game and in the europa 0.5 per game
No chance we'd get him for that, if we want him it'll be no less than £20m we'd have to pay.
Is there any Benfica player we arent "interested" in or havent "signed" ?
I'm dubious, everything he's done good crammed into a 5 minute Youtube video?
How can we even know for sure that we were interested?
I don't. But it still applies.
Never watched him, or at least never noticed him. That said, I was impressed by Andre Gomes I think when I saw him in the EL final. Seemed to have a good engine, dribbling ability and speed in central midfield.
This thread reads like this:
Enzo Perez, who? Never heard of him. £25m, too much, 28 y/o, too old. Do not want.
Woodward has missed out on signing him.
fecking hell, Woodward, more nonsense as usual, outbid by Valencia, we're screwed!

2 pages and no jokes about Enzo's engine? You disappoint me caf!
Well why don't you make one then?
Never heard of him tbh nor have I watched Benfica a lot recently.
Is he any good, what kind of midfielder is he, can he play in a 2 player midfield?

This guy is mint, I've raved about him on twitter all year. While we are trying [but failing] so far to sign world class/or big names there's some fantastic players out there and Enzo is one. He's very good, technically accomplished, strong and timely in the tackle, great engine for a box to box role, good passing range and all action style, he's made for the PL. Despite his release clause think he can be available for around 15m.
Never seen him play or maybe I have and just haven't noticed him, but if he's a midfielder who's pretty good on the ball, or is energetic and a box-to-box player then I'm all for it. Though anything above €20m for a 28 year old who the majority have never heard of seems a bit much.
He's very easily worth €25m even at 28 yrs old, used to be a right winger but started to blossom around over 2 years ago when he was moved into central midfield, even with Matic in the team back then, he always stood out.
Not great in the first 45 tonight for Argentina, but decent enough. Made a few good runs to support the other front players and a couple of dribbles in field
His first touch was awful at times.
Looks far from a £20m player to me.
The reported fees always sounded excessive
He is playing like the Enzo Perez that arrived in Portugal and was sent back to Argentina on loan in the first season. Enzo Perez plays way better as CM and not in the position Sabella is playing him atm.
Stuck out on the right for most of the night. Pretty anonymous in a game where there was no space at all. Does look like he can carry the ball forward well which could be an asset in the middle.
Not surprised he's been quiet considering where Sabella's played him. Always been poor out wide, stick him in the middle and he's great.

From the Metro, but on a few papers. Seems we may have made a 7m bid to benefica for this guy.

Looked much better vs the Dutch than he did vs Belgium.
But haven't seen him play as a CM much.
Metro are bullshitters so that's almost certainly not true with nothing in Portuguese press either.

Aside from when he's been pushed out wide, he's had a great World Cup. Caps a brilliant season for him.
Looks a tidy player to be fair. Not done much tonight but looked decent against the Dutch.
Great player who will never in a zillion years play for us....if we don't get vidal then we'll go for de jong
Didn't look anything special today, but he was playing out of position.
For £7M as a squad player I guess, but he doesn't look anything exceptional to me.
Same don't want don't need. looks a decent player and I'd have him over Cleverley but not worth €30m at all.
