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.
Class player, not what we need.
What exactly do we need?
I think he would be perfect for us.

Is he a tremendous striker with good pace, movement, finishing and link up play?
In other words; is he a Saha with finishing ability but without the injuries?
If yes, he's exactly what we need.

I've only seen him two times for Sampdoria, but it seems clear to me he's not able to lead the line. Resembles Rossi a lot more than Louis, so what's the point?
Best striker ever IMO.
Interesting. Another striker joins the wanted list. I simply havent seen or heard enough about him to make a judgement. But he sure is a natural scorer of great goals.
Alan Smith take note.

If your assessment is correct; no point.
Yes, I agree.
He doesn't score goals.
freaks. We wont go for him, we'll go for Bent instead
Why will we go for Bent then?
We've been linked to this Itie too.
Seems to have that X-Factor that's much sought after, though not a prolific striker in the scoring sense. Scores some real crackers, watched this compilation + this 40 metre shot; breathtaking.

He has to. Thats a strikers job. Maybe thats why all this uncertainty over his future shows up. When he plays he doesnt usually look capable of scoring.
I'm startled that Lita's name is in there on our observation list. He has had a brilliant season for Reading, but Lita does not look very comfortable or natural in his play to me. I guess we are really putting a premium on youth this summer.
Those are amazing goals by Quagliarella. It would be nice to steal a march on the big Italian clubs if he truly is an Italian star in the making.
great control and technique by Quagliarella....may not be prolific....but hey we have enough players who can help him get a lot more chances...
dont think he will come to England though...Milan probably...

To replace Gilardino who's shite.
Don't know anything about him.But i can honestly say he will not be coming to OT
It's good to see that United were enquiring about him well before he hit the headlines. Shows our scouts are doing something right. He may well have been in the bracket for us if Nani or Anderson were not bought. But he's not the frontline striker we need.
Now all we need is someone to volunteer to strip outside OT if we get him, and he's as good as ours.
He does not play that role. He plays a number 10 role, behind the main striker. Like Rossi.
You know different how?
Essien's infallible calculator.
Sampdoria chief Beppe Marotta says they'll fight tooth-and-nail to keep star man Fabio Quagliarella in Genoa next season.
"We will do all we can to keep him here in Genoa," said Marotta, who must speak with Udinese about their co-ownership of the Italy striker.
"We can't make any evaluations now, but we want to keep him here. That is also because of the excellent relationship we have with Udinese.
"We would only consider letting him leave if we were to receive an extraordinary offer, but I don't think that will happen and therefore Fabio will stay with us."
The End

Norwich City hint at Fabio Quagliarella move
Norwich boss Chris Hughton has refused to rule out a move for Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella.
Hughton did not deny an interest in the 30-year-old, instead comparing the scenario to his pursuit of Gary Hooper, who joined from Celtic last week.
"That is a story I have seen and heard. But it was exactly the same with our work with Gary," he said....

Eek. Has it been so long?
Awe... a 3 page transfer thread on a player who was genuinely linked with us in the media. Innocent days.
I want to point out that I still really rate him and though he would be a horrific disaster at United I think he could be effective for Everton or the likes.
Subtle Fellaini dig. I like it.
