In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

You really do exude happiness devilish.
odds now at evens of him joining us
Is that better or worse than it was?
Rooney has not refuted allegations he wants to leave, and that's enough to have effigies burning! (not really)
Why would Fab burn his bridges if it could all fall through?
Thiago was 1/5 to join us at one point. Means feck all.
It shows how much the transfer market has changed that the reported offer of £35 million would be our record ever signing, yet that figure sounds almost too low to be accepted. Amazing really.
Man City,Chelsea,Liverpool all have bigger record signings than us. On the continent there must be another 5-6 clubs at least. We have never really spent that big on one player.
It's even more amazing when you remember someone spent that level of money on Andy Carroll.
Two of those English clubs have unlimited funds. The other had Kenny Dalglish making transfer decisions!
He was awful in pretty much every game I saw him play for them. Yes, he was out of position, but good players can play many positions.
That's absurdly over the top. He's been decent for Barca. He's been underwhelming compared to the ridiculously high standard he set at Arsenal. The vast majority of midfielders would be very pleased to have played as often and as well as he has.
In the entire time he's been there? Somewhere between 15 and 20, I reckon. Could be more, I don't really keep count.
Offer them £15m!
Thinking about it, I find it incredible that Barcelona (if it has happened) have asked United to drop their interest and, I suppose, act in a 'respectful' manner. This from the same cnuts who harassed Arsenal for nigh-on four years when trying to unsettle Cesc.
cnuts.
cnuts.
We should offer them 60 million quid and then when they accept it pull out claiming it was a typo the office lady made when knocking up the offer
Definitely something we should consider doing.
Big time man. feckin hypocrits that shower, same as Real. They even get all their players in on the act too. I see we've been doing a bitta that this summer aswell though - nice one
Would be funny if one of our players were asked about a reported target & he just came out & said "hope not - he's shit.."
Oh yes he is - United
Berbatov wasn't played out of position. Fabregas has been played in the hole when he's clearly at his best as a central midfielder. Barcelona just dont need to pick him there because of Xavi and Iniesta. He's done more than fine at his role. If we signed him he'd go straight into central midfield and continue playing the role brilliantly as he always did. We wouldnt be using him behind the striker
This has dragged on, and I think we'll call it quits if we don't get him soon. So who after Fab? Modric?
It'll be Fellaini and cabaye at the rate things are going, come on Moyes just bully the feckers into selling him.
The Equalizer doesn't take no for an answer - Mrs Equalizer
Just tell Rosell that we have photo's that would be very embarrassing for him, so hand over Fabregas or we'll give them to Real...
According to a Barcelona source. Why cant their press office release a statement saying that? When our first offer was knocked back they must have said "Sorry lads, that offer does not match our valuation of the player". They did not tell us to f*ck right off, so we bid again.
Yeah, why not. This thread is only a couple of pages short on the old Modric thread. Once we're done here, we can dig that one up.
Oof, that BBC story from 8 hours ago, based on a Sport.es story from 24 hours ago, would never have spotted but for your eagle eyes!
Using a quote from Friday!
We don't want to look stupid.
That would be so easy to do.
We did it before, with Ronaldinho. That turned out well. fecking Peter Kenyon
... who knew he was going to Chelsea!We did it before, with Ronaldinho. That turned out well. fecking Peter Kenyon
If we do sign Fabregas everyone who said 'lol, it won't happen you cocks' or words to that effect - should be section banned.
If we don't all those who said we would should be given a small cash reward to ease the pain

I reckon Rosell wrote something along the lines of "Giz' £40m and I'll pack his belongings myself" in invisible ink on the back of the letter.
The difference between what we're being told in private and noises being publicly made by Barcelona could be contained within three words. 'At that price'
So is this happening or is Moyes making us look like fools?
How would he be making us look like fools?
