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.

Beat you to it a few pages ago
Is that the quote that came from the Metro and that no one else seemed to pick up on? (Until the Telegraph now obviously)
I feel like you want me to say no... lol
A few pages is only seconds in this thread!!
Very true
It's crazy here, got to love it.Apologies if already posted. Apologies to the muppets anyway.

Fabregas staying at Barcelona. Vilanova: "I know he received offers, but I spoke with him and he told me expressively he wants to stay"Yeah, Tito is just finishing up a pressy right now and essentially put to bed the Cesc rumours
Barcelona press conference with Vilanova is being streamed live on their website now. I dont speak spanish but we may know a bit more soon.
Shutters.
I'm absolutely shocked that he wants to stay.
This didn't even last 24 hours
Shocking.

Well I wanted to know if there was anything else.
Metro are hardly renowned for grounbreaking news or insider scoops.
Now we will place a bid for Messi!
This was the stupidest bid in the history of our stupid bids. I think Moyes got overexcited at having a budget and forgot he wasn't playing Championship Manager.
This was a waste of everyone's time. Now, the club looks like Arsenal...bidding for players it knows it can't get.
It's baffling that we made a bid in this case. Did we actually expect Fabregas to even consider leaving? it's all very strange.
Game over.
Turned out to be a very strange bid after all.

Stunning logic from the club.
No problem. We tried very hard and obviously have the money to get the best midfielders in the world. Now we have shown that lets sign afro man
No mate, it was very small, blown up by speculation, the only thing was the 'not transferable', and even that quote has come from 'a source close to the club', which for me is still rubbish, but listening to other 'sources' in here, people seem to like to throw all the information together....
I don't see personally that Barcelona will come out and respond to this, if in fact they do by the end of the week, they tend to take their time..
Truly shocking turn of events.
Now who was next on my flow-chart...

fecking bid for Gündogan Moyes and stop fecking about.
To the Fellaini thread!
We've been saying it all summer.
We've been saying it all summer.
It was fun while it lasted, now let's just concentrate on fellaini and be done with it.
since when does making a bid out of nowhere that Barcelona were never going to accept for a player who had no intention of coming here constitute as "trying very hard"?
Can't help but feel we've been played. The club isn't stupid enough to place a bid for him immediately after they sold Thiago unless someone gave a green signal. Maybe this was a PR exercise by Barcelona to make their fans warm up to Fabragas after losing Thiago, and used United.
"I know he received offers, but I spoke with him and he told me expressively he wants to stay"
tbf, you'd probably do the same thing, although Blackpool is a bit of a dump too.
That wouldnt end well either
So now if we end up signing a midfielder they will know they were third choice. Great.
Seems a very Spurs-like bid, where they either big for unachievable players or too late in the transfer market in a way to try and show the fans that they're trying, Damio and Moutinho spring to mind. Realistically the lad has worked his bollocks off to make his way back to arguably the best team in the world, he's not going to give that up for anything unless he's told he's not wanted by the club.
Thiago? check.
Fabregas? check.
Fellaini? SCORE
Fabregas? check.
Fellaini? SCORE
Ah, feck this shit. Muppet is dead once again.
No, it was the english journalists who were fed the info. If anyone did it - and someone did - it was United. Nothing to do with Barcelona.
Well it takes a lot of time to come up with a bid that is so shocking that it has Barca laughing for well over 18 hours.
This is embarrassing.
Maybe he isn't the best example then.
Nacer Chadli has said he has no interest in joining Swansea the other day, for example. Not to mention Pablo Oswaldo apparently doing the same as I mentioned before, despite his club agreeing to the bid.
Berbatov rejected Manchester City, Alexis Sanchez rejected Manchest City, Kaka rejected Manchester City.... in fact I'm quite liking this trend
We've literally just tried to get a player who wanted to leave because this player was in his place. This player, that's only been at Barca for two years after angling for it for about four and is now virtually unchallenged to take over from the guy he was bought to take over from, at the club he wants to be at. It's just monumentally dumb.
Well done all involved.

In fairness, the Kaka bid was basically City just causing mischief. Even then I think he pretty seriously considered it.
