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.

Barca upping the price.
At least it was only 24hrs. We didn't want another long drawn out disappointment again. A one-night stand transfer style cock up and we can move on to the next target. Much better than a loveless month long affair.
I'd have thought other clubs fans would be bored by now laughing at us for losing out on transfer targets. The Fabregas bid was a decent punt, but desperate for sure. Now we move on to the next target.
Exactly, a nice one night stand to get over the heartbreak of Thiago. Guess what, it's worked. And I wouldn't even remember the name either if it wasn't in the thread title.
Exactly. Fabregas is playing it safe in case Barca don't accept. As soon as they do, he can play the unwanted player card.
Like I say, if the first bid was genuine, there will be more and things can change very quickly.
Mental stuff. In a bold move to curry favour with fans, David Moyes appears to have handed over transfer dealings to the Caf. I for one can't wait to see our next move.
It would be interesting to test barca and see what happens should we table a 40m bid.
I reckon we should go in with a bid of 32.10 - let them worry about the implications of the countdown.
Jojojo when did you get the extra jo?
For what it's worth, sorry about the pic of hairbrain:

I Barca accepted a bid he would go. Accepting a bid tells a player that they aren't in the long term plans, especially at a team like Barca who have no need to sell.
What remains to be seen is if we up the bid, will Barca accept 30-40m. If they did I believe the player would talk to us.
I'd personally prefer to see us move onto other targets such as Vidal. Although I think the next player will be Fellaini, which is certain success.
Sounds plausible but theres nothinh to suggest either Barca or Fabregas are willing to agree to a deal
Saying he spoke to Fab at beginning of summer who said at the time he wanted to stay. We already knew that. Nothing has changed

"I know he has received offers from other teams," Vilanova reveals.
"But Cesc has told me he wants to stay here, he has told me it is his dream to stay with Barcelona. He doesn't want to go to other teams for money reasons or playing time.
"He knows there is competition for places here but his decision is to stay. I am relaxed about the situation."
Fabregas would look like a massive mug if he left now, 'hardball' talk is wishful thinking.

Let's fecking do it!!
No surprise. I did say the moment Cesc opened his mouth, it would be over. Absolutely no reason for him to leave Barcelona, especially at this time.
On to the next target and let's hope he's more willing.

We don't have the pulling power we used to 
It's obvious we'll end up with a £40m Fellaini & Baines gift-wrapped package from Everton.
Chuck in a generic £10m center-back and we're good to go!

Back on!
This is the problem we have now though. We went for Thiago and failed, immediately slapped a bid in for Fab (which will fail), so what top CM will join us now knowing they are sloppy thirds?
I could understand the dickheads going mental in the transfer forum if everything was like this. Mental bids and rejections within 24 hours. Not 3 weeks between bits of news.
Jesus fecking Christ. Other fans are laughing at us, are they? They must take the month of May off most years.
This much be a smokescreen for someone else? It pretty ridiculous in this day and age to bid for someone and they flat our reject you. Communication would have gone on with the player or agent (yes, tapping) if we they had some interest in joining.
That's where I am struggling with Moyes and the board already. It just seems a bit like amateur hour.
If we do make another bid, I doubt that it'll take very long. We'll want to move onto other targets if it's a lost cause.
Fixed for you.
Doesnt mean Fabregas would necessary want to go back to Arsenal, but if he did - surely they would have known about it & it would have been Arsenal putting that bid in instead of us?!
I've heard this a couple of times in the past day, so i did a bittuva check on the interweb. It seems that Fabregas has a 4 month old kiddie who's based in London with his 38 year old lebanese-born milf girlfriend. She's goin through a messy divorce with some millionaire bloke (who they have 2 kids with) & they're fighting over the London home. So most likely she doesnt want to leave London or England in general because of the kids & he now wants to come back but only to the right club that matches his ambitions!
Cant believe i'm speculating like a feckin woman reading Hello! Magazine
EDIT: Just seen the updates... bollox, thats that then!
Gill would've had this shit sewn up in no time.
Having a bid for a player rejected is embarrassing? You people live sheltered lives.
£24m Fellaini time
They were never going to come out and say thanks for the bid, most kind of you. It was always going to be a Rooneyesque, the player won't be leaving, the player is staying or in this case the player wants to stay.
Had Fabregas shouted that he wanted to leave the situation for him could easily have become untenable, should we not up the bid to Barcas acceptable level.
If Moyes has been given the heads up to go for it by Fabregas' agent, the bids will follow and he will be secured.
All conjecture, but you can be sure if we see another improved bid, then it truly is on behind the scenes.
He ought to be at OT, earning a proper wage.
Oh feck yeah, it's back on people. Get ready for another 24-48 hours of intense rollercoaster action, there's life in this still.
I think being publicly turned down repeatedly, bid or no bid, is hardly ideal now is it?
Not to mention the players we do eventually end up with will be obvious 3rd or 4th choice players, which can't be the most flattering.
Do you have shit in your ears?£24m Fellaini time
Seriously how many more times do people have to say this?
