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.

Yeah he is but we did everything to convince him but clearly just didn't want his deferred wages bad enough
Yeah we absolutely have to step in if Chelsea becomes a real possibility, however not sure we will though
This is so on.
WOW not even a Stone brief can throw you off that's admirable
His name is from Wacky Races I'm sure even if Mutley told him it wasn't happening belief would still be there
I'm sure if United play it cool, and act to frenkie like they don't care he will come
Cue Muttley meme
Didn’t even put up a link. Keep them keen by being mean, eh?
A double OT announcment of Casemiro and Frenkie next week.
If there’s a bigger beta **** than De Jong it’s us.
Shut up fool, nobody knows what you are talking about!
I just think Antony isn't the finished article, so isn't worth anywhere near that amount. De Jong is though, and we may not get another chance at him. He and Casemiro in the double pivot with Eriksen in front is a really progressive midfield.
Sancho, Martial, Rashford, Bruno, Elanga, Garnacho and hopefully a loan signing like Pulisic, Ziyech or Carrasco is enough for us to be competitive right now.
But the focus must be the midfield because it will both solidify our defence and help us to progress the ball through the lines and break teams down in attack.
We have a more combative midfield now with Casemiro and Fred, but I fear we'll have the same issue in getting our forward players the ball on a regular basis
The biggest issue, of course, is that none of them fecking move or run enough. But I'm hoping that can be coached.
Another season for Antony at Ajax under a new manager will help us to assess his value and potential better. There's no danger of anyone else coming in for him now.
Just when I thought this thread had everything!1600+ pages for absolutely f all the more I read and hear. This will go down as a caf thread for the ages.
So... you are consistently wrong? Dam it, he's not coming guys
Haven’t been wrong at all…yet….
We can still post in here, right? Futile, yes, but you never know.
These briefings are not gospel. Probably it’s true we are unlikely to get him this window. But, imagine on deadline day Barca and FDJ agree a pay off sum and they want the deal to happen, I think we’d still jump at it.
Barca want the cash and they don’t want to pay the big wages in FDJ’s contract - they do still want him to leave. It’s not absolutely dead.
Is it?

This is on. Remember ETH said we will wait until the last day of we have to.
Casemiro FDJ Antony plus Gusto as the rb.

Where’s this bar?
You'll have to ask @Red the Bear although being Thailand it might not be the type of pumping you enjoy.
NOT A SINGLE CHANCE! we spent the Frenkie money on Casemiro
Oh, yes, of course. I was asking for a friend.
I’d post 20 X in here because it worked in the Casemiro thread, but I got busted by the man and given a warning, so can I say something like; ”this has got about as much chance of happening as a woman playing Doctor Who.”?
See if I can work my magic again.

This would be some window.
It's not going to happen of course, and it lunacy to suggest it might, but what a window it would be.
Still gutted about Frenkie. Quote me on this, I see him in a Chelsea shirt by 1st September sadly. Going to be a crazy end to window.
Till the time the window is open, I’m hopeful that we’ll get Frenkie. Casemiro, while quality, isn’t a press resistant player and may struggle. We add Frenkie next to him, we can create a beautiful midfield combo.
P.S. Will go back to sleep now

Nah we and the boys keeping it a secret.
Just want the first two then would be happy with Ziyech on loan and a cheap RB, however no chance this dream midfield happens this summer.
No. After we get FdJ, we will need a striker.
Surely you don't really believe we will go in again
You’re not keeping up.
Casa needs someone progressive next to him. I know Eriksen can play there but I think he is better further upfield. Fred is a possibility but he is limited.
Yeah he does but won't be De Jong this summer
Yeah that's my fear too, in which case we need to pull the plug on Antony and blow them out of the water with offer.
Won't happen this summer then. Maybe if we get back to top 4 next summer, there's still chance we could sign him.
buy this man a pint. He is on to something
