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.

Weirdly timed post when it looks clearly on.
Rogers has literally said it’s on, just a matter of agreeing a price...
It's a fair point.....
If Leicester bank £80m from Maguire, you can be sure that the valuation of their chosen replacement will suddenly be increased by a good few million too..
Their own fault for clearly briefing the media about their demands.It's a fair point.....

Trying to play with the big boys has it's pros and cons!
Both I guess.
They’ve spent more than us this window?
I do still believe that we will sign Maguire but its going to drag on for a few days yet, and eventually I think that we'll probably end up paying the asking price that Leicester quoted 2 months ago..!
Makes sense.
So we have Maguire, Leicester have Dunk lined up, but Brighton wanted to get a replacement first before releasing Dunk.
It seems it'll all come to a close soon.

I mean that's true, but they bought a player they had on loan last season, and a player from Newcastle who hadn't been linked with anyone else?
Maguire has allegedly been courted by City, and the point is Leicester have been briefing the media about the need to break a world record fee, hence they will now have to go an overpay for a replacement, and probably for any other players they want. It works both ways.

Brighton will already have worked this out. £45m for Dunk is insane, but I'm sure they'll get something close to it from Leicester.
I take your point, I just bawk at the idea that a “non traditional” top 6 club can’t be “one of the big boys”
I think PL clubs will have to overspend for anyone they buy, I’m not sure it has a lot to do with their clubs public communication rather more the PL’s public communication of how much revenue clubs have now from TV deals
I guess we are still talking. Because you know, we love talks.
Except we are Man United and we are desperate. In case it escaped your attention, we have finished closer to 10th than 1st more often than not since SAF left.....
If you/Ed think that's acceptable then by all means let's go down the money-saving route....
We’ve been desperate for 4 years so what’s so different? With blown the bag repeatedly too over paid over waged. Yet you want us to improve by continuing to do the same things but with different names hoping for better results. That’s fine but don’t then be upset if it doesn’t work out in a years time. But you’ll forget and you will be.
Right now I’d rather see changed than repetitive failed tactics. £90m on Maguire is a failure to me. But I will judge the summer once the window Ian closed.
So he's worth the same as a right back with one good season and zero caps... ok mate.
Celtic didn't stand in his way, do you know why? Because we paid the asking price of £9m for him. They set a price and we paid it, we didn't try getting him for £5m or £6m... we just paid the money and he was here within the week. Sometimes you just have to pay to get what you want.
So save us the sob stories of standing in his way, when in reality all you care about it getting a player to your club and not Maguire.
Seems like same old story as last season we wont pay the extra 10-20m we wont get Maguire. For Maguire see Perisic last season
The shit, it’s his agent at Carrington

Well the price is easy to pay when it’s nit a made up valuation isn’t it.
Who said anything about Rojo?
Personally I’d play Axel and not pay twice what Maguire is worth.
Maguire>United>Dunk>Leicester>A.Webster>Brighton>C.Clark>Bristol City
Too good to be true
Too good to be true
Yes, and be weak in the air against crosses.
All prices are a made up valuation. Footballers aren't in the Argos catalogue.
Listen to most people on here and we are going to be shit at one, another or most things this coming season. We have players earning a fortune if they can’t kick or head a ball properly they should be sacked on the spot.
Instead of stealing a living they should be made to stand up and be counted or if they can’t meet what is expected in their contracts then bye bye
You’ve fundamentally misunderstand how value is calculated.
The Value of anything is based entirely on the market.
It’s not Leicester’s fault the market has gone mad, but to say they shouldn’t ask for £80m when that’s the market rate is naive and silly.
This sounds like Palace. Dunk is NOT leaving Brighton for any team and this has been the stance from the beginning, not for £45 million. Local insider opinion vs merely paper talk.
Boredom.
Bout to make a younger Gary Cahill the most expensive defender in the history of football aren't we?
Harry Maguire and man utd by now must have dethroned Ross and Rachel for most drawn out will they/wont they.
No chance that happens in real life.
I honestly couldn't care anymore regarding United and their joke transfer dealings.. Its dragging out far too much and became a farce long ago.. Im tired of hearing literally the same shit every day with absolutely nothing happening. All should have been wrapped up a long time ago..
There are 9 days left until the window shuts. Woodward and whatever other monkeys he has doing these dealing have shown me nothing that says to me they will sign even one more player in this timeframe... Jobsworths the lot of them.
And it just means Ole is stuck with the same charlatans he finished with last season. Woodward's scapegoat its looking like he's being stitched up as.

VVD to Liverpool took 18 months.
No move either way. We have to up the offer to get this deal done. Does Woodward realise there is only 9 days left in transfer window.
3 time PL team of the year player - 8 major trophies at Chelsea.
Wouldn’t mind that sort of success...
Well the value or anything, player or otherwise, is different for everyone. The value of Maguire might be higher for Leicester than for us, it also can change quickly at any time.
Barcelona bought a lot of expensive players, but they were clearly not close to worth it, so they will have massively dropped in value.
Also player prices generally will go up, but they can also go down. This summer window clearly the big teams have thought to themselves they have been overpaying for players, and are not making those mistakes again. Demand has dropped, and so prices will drop a bit.
Maguire simply is not worth 80+ for our team imo, it wont make that much difference.
Quoted for a few days time.
No, I didn't question if it was wrong, just found my will to live disappearing the further down the post I got
Nothing like a bit of optimism
Oh what i would give for optimism right now!
The ineptitude of our transfer proceeding this window has left me unbelievably bored and without any faith in them at all
