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.

Gaaaah he’s supposed to make his debut vs the scouse!
It can still happen... keep the faith
The amount of amazing song contributions in this thread is astonishing. I vividly remember a couple of great lyrics over Eminem tracks.
We might not get the player, but we should have enough songs to put together a small songbook.
It's on like Donkey Jong
Agree with you.
On the bolded part though and if I'm being the devil's advocate here, I think Barca would've paid the 17m to De Jong, my guess why they haven't done it yet is because they don't want to set a precedent as they want to get rid of other players like Umtiti and Braithwaite, who might demand to be paid before they leave
The agents are unhappy. That hasn’t changed De Jongs mind. The agents have been working out all sorts of numbers, then Frenkie made them get in Insta and give thumbs up to how much he loves it in Barcelona.
IF Frenkie leaves, I think he wants it clear and in the record that it wasn’t his choice. He knows how the Barca spin machine operates.
Plus I genuinely believe him when he says he wants to stay. They are acting like no one at the club would be in wages like his, but outside of his deferred fees that doesn’t appear to be true. Lewa and Alva both look around the same level.
They are asking him to make mid table PL money (50 % wage cut and the deferred erased would be like 9m a year). So they are trying to insult him into leaving, and making him look greedy. Even if you absorbed his full deferred wages he’d still be making less than Ronaldo I think.
De Jong is world class, and a star. He’s making star-but-not-superstar money.
If they want him gone, he is going to make them work for it.
Loooooord haaaave meeeeercy......
Why would either Barcelona or De Jong’s agent say “absolutely stop trying, we are concerned about your team and the time you are putting into this” ?
They want as much attention and leverage as possible no matter which direction this goes
It'd gonna be a looooong week
It won’t get hot over the weekend
I’m constantly refreshing Gerry Rosemarys twitch feed hungry for news.
It was cliff edge stuff last night live outside the restaurant. Much better than anything the UNITED STAND could offer.

Agree with this, but they could have sorted it without buying just one of their new toys. Seems Barca treat players like slaves much more than Ronaldo thinks we do.
I am not sure how fun I am at parties, you'd have to ask people at parties with me, but why and how do you care about how fun anybody is at imaginary parties, while talking about football? WeirdOoh, get her! Bet you’re fun at parties!
Back to unzipping mode!
Oh mean like - nobody at United has admitted we are in for FDJ, or that we have agreed terms with Barca, and United has also been silent for a while (more than days) about it now? We must also not be in for FDJ and this is all about nothing.
Hello! Clubs don't talk about players of other clubs, until something is signed. Did you just get into football and have not seen anything?
United have an agreement with his agent according to Van der Kraan
best movie ever
Agreement with Barca and Frenkie probably but he is in the biggest circus in the world.
“A retort against someone who takes a fun conversation way too seriously, to the point their very presence is a buzzkill.”
“(1) A dejected loser who initially engaged in debate has ventured out of their depth, and now attempts to break for the intellectual fire-escape by using a phrase he himself has been the recipient of previously. This dejected loser will return to his parents' basement and continue to research the topic at issue in an attempt to prepare for the imminent rematch for which no one requested.”
Hope that helps.
being not good enough for what? To win us CL, I agree (especially because we’re not in the CL)… to win us PL, i also agree… but he is not good enough to replace McFred?
Nobody is good enough to replace mcFred. Nobody.
I disagree mate, dodgy Dave down at the pub could do it.
NOBODY DAMN IT
Underrated.
Thank you for your sarcasm.
Barca and United have briefed openly that a fee with United has been agreed, I mean there are only about 100 reports of it in places like the Athletic along with actual video footage of Laporta saying it. The story about Chelsea being willing to pay the 17M was a comment in a tweet from a journalist saying it was believed Chelsea would be willing to do so. Do you see the difference?
Did you just get into reading and have not learned to comprehend anything?
