If this goes cold again in the next couple of days then I'll literally explode.

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.

Has Prepare FC become Activate FC? Sign me up.
Seems like we've given up on Nunez and activated Frenkie 
A new era of spunking £70 million on questionable players?
Doesn't really sound new.
From the 5 minutes I have seen him play vs Wales tonight I can see he will be an instant upgrade... muppet mode activated.
ACTIVATE !!
Not a chance. Fred has been a massive failure who has played well enough games for us already.
Bench player at best
The thing is Romero is generally really reliable for Barca news. Would be really weird for him to just be making this all up for clicks. This I believe is genuinely the info being given to him by people he trusts, now if we end up getting it over the line or not is an entirely different story.
Would be a perfect start to the summer for us, really. Hopefully we can get a couple of signings in before preseason starts, esp Frenkie if he is to be the hearbeat of the team we would ideally have him play with the squad as much as possible.

Can we send Camille Vasquez and Ben Chew to negotiate with Barca please

Imagine calling Frenkie de Jong a questionable player
been ages since we've had a midfielder who likes picking the ball up off the defenders, dictating play and is a natural in that role.No matter who we're linked to, you'll always get people slagging them off.
Jajaja!
Who would you buy to reinforce the midfield?
Is this guy a reliable source ?
What a run!
Romero is, yeah.
2-1 goal is 90% FdJ for you. Played (making) out from the back in tightly. Progress the ball to attackers.
Would be funny if we got him before this thread even hits 200 pages.
Was the catalyst for the winner in the 93rd minute from his own penalty box but @Shane88 isn’t a fan.
When it was reported last month, the 95% was never mentioned as ‘’done deal’’. He said 95% chance to join man united.
It’s getting hot in here so take off all your clothes
He was the 1st one to break the Frenkie to United story, apparently tier 1 for Barcelona.
Loved the little flicked one-two, and then the burst of acceleration while still keeping the ball so tight.. yeah he's class.
Nah, get Amber Heard and pay £60m transfer fee + pledges on top
He will join Charlton, Robson, Keane, Scholes, etc, as one of our best midfielders EVER if he joins. He will captain us for years to great success under a manager who knows how to use him.
Yes, I'm getting ahead of myself, and, yes, I rate him that highly in his proper position!

That late winner is what he brings to a team in a single passage of play. It's not an assist nor a goal, just picking the ball up deep in his own half and transitioning it to the attack with a quick combination and decisive dribble.
If we miss out on De Jong It'll hurt.
People in the party - hot hot hot
People in the party - hot hot hot
They come to the party know what they got
They come to the party know what they got
I'm hot - You're hot - He's hot - She's hot

He's obviously good but blowing that money on a player who doesn't want to be here is fecking dumb.
If Di Maria of all people to Barca ends up facilitating the De Jong transfer...
What a redemption arc
It’s like those old completion bars on Windows where the last 5% would take longer than the first 95%.
Too little about the goal, that was an awesome bit of play. He is just amazing.
Big day tomorrow.
Lovely run from him through the heart of midfield
I think the transfer fee is important to Barca but more important is that they are paying a massive wage to a player that they don’t consider indispensable. They clearly have eyes for Lewandowski and I suspect want to use Frenkie’s salary on him!
