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.
Would you sell both Maguire & Lindelof,if not which one are you keeping and for what reason?
So they have absolutely zero intention of selling him (unless we offer what they want) - the exact same stance most clubs take when negotiating the highest fee they can get!
This is not to dig out Utd fans, because most fans of other clubs, would sadly act the same, but this was depressing to read from the athletic. Totally except there has been a back forth between the sets of fans leading up to this but.
No preference between the two as footballers but Lindelof's contract expires next season, so it has to be him. Martinez, De Ligt, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw is a very food defensive lineup.
I never liked the name "Jarrad" in the first place 
Can’t speak for anyone else let alone the whole fanbase, I found any danger to other well-established club very depressing. It sucks to see Everton in such situation.
I don’t care much about Branthwaite transfers, to be honest. All that being said, the fact that the negotiations for him being so difficult naturally irks other fans, especially when Everton is to be a club where so many transfers occurred between the two clubs.
Again all down to personal preference of “who you want”. Nothing is ever the same but the premise is.
Everton have set a price so I don’t know where this, they won’t sell is coming from.
Bayern Munich although they want to sell are not showing signs of reducing their asking price and have put in the media they are willing to let their number 1 target in Tah go if they don’t get their asking price.
Both things are exactly the same regardless of what you say. If United want any of these players they will have to decide where they want to spend the extra funds and from what I can see they value Branthwaite as their top target. It’s not like De Ligt isn’t an easier deal to do.
Hopefully Everton’s stance lessons as the window goes on as I see us not getting no additional defenders if Bayern don’t drop the price or if we can’t shift Maguire.
Yet if we got in touch and said alright we will pay your valuation see how fast they would change their mind
For the record Everton are perfectly entitled to value him at whatever they want but looks pretty clear they were assuming we would pay it given our past history but they must have missed the bit where Woodward and his cronies are no longer in charge.
Cmon Branthy!
Looks like this won't happen. They will be happy to Maguire us all the way to deadline day, knowing we've blinked before.
We should just wait a year and get him on the cheap after they've been relegated.
Yeah play the long game with him
I think the gleeful hand rubbing yesterday was embarrassing on here but with that stat if it is reliable I'd imagine that there are 2 factors worth taking into consideration.
Firstly there are obviously a huge number more Man Utd fans than Everton on Twitter and that is understandably their main interest in Everton currently. Also this time of year football twitter is only really interested in transfers and don't care about anything else in general.
you could purchase both De Ligt and Tah for what Everton want for this twat....think about that
Yeah football is in a really poor state. The banter / rivalry needs adjusting to staying on the football pitch. There needs to be more solidarity off it. Everything is just really badly misaligned.
I'd much rather sign De Ligt than him now. Branthwaite is not worth over £50 million. Just move on.
Why would you insult him?
just a term of endearment...no offense intended

That's special.
Having said that. Everton's ownership troubles are long running at this point and while everyone would have been sorry to hear about it falling through, theres probably not much more to be said on the subject. Like it or not Branthwaithe has become a transfer story for the summer. When journalists have to write an article for the end of the day and are casting around for something to talk about he's liable to wind up the story. Transfer muppets who want to 'win' the transfer window get dragged into the conversation. And its just thrown up some weird and interesting comment. Particularly recently. I think i've commented in here a lot, so im kind of guilty of dancing on everton's grave too. Social Media is weird.
Love how we’ve backed away from this and won’t give in anymore. Previously we’d have coughed up the 70m and signed him.
There will always be a tinge of self interest when you hear about the ill fortunes of other clubs - We've had that ourselves with other sets of fans revelling in the Glazer's running of our club - but you have to remember it's not all fans.
Unfortunately, once again, social media fosters this level of toxicity.
And the media taking the moral high ground it's laughable. Our clubs are just in the process of negotiating a transfer. We're in our right to bid and Everton are entitled to refuse. But from the reporting of it you would think our two clubs are at war and every unrelated decision is some kind of calculated tactic to get one over the other.
The media tries to fuel the X Vs Y narrative for the sake of clicks, the complains when some fans get carried away with it.
With the Yoro signing, we don’t need another young prospect centreback. We should be going for someone who’s about to enter their prime years such as De Ligt.
And yes it’s good that we’re not caving into demands that seem excessive. I doubt Woodward would have moved on if he were still here in combination with Glazer dithering.
Our Maguire pursuit and eventual transfer (along with Wan-Bissaka) seemed more damaging to our reputation at transfer dealings in hindsight. Really sent the message out we would eventually cave in.

Feel sorry for Branthwaite - great opportunity for him to move on but his club are going to hold on come what may. Nobody paying what they want.
A season of Dyche ball for Jarrad then.
Think his chance to join Utd has now sailed. Shame.

If I was him, I'd be annoyed at being priced so unfairly. What has he done to warrant a £70m price tag? I understand paying for potential, but after one decent season, you just can't be asking for more than £40m in the current market.
Get him on the cheap next season when their entire club folds/gets relegated.
We don't have to do ALL our business in one summer. We've got another midfielder to bring in too.

Would he though ?
Bigger fee means bigger commissions for his agent and possibly bigger bonuses and wages for him. And it is a good argument to force Everton to give him a raise.
I knew I liked Everton. We seriously need to stop paying a fortune for overrated English players.
Everton clearly think he is vital to their survival and much more so than Onana. In which case the additional 20 odd million they might get is also not enough of an offset.
We have an open goal in the form of deLigt and hope we are able to close this quickly now. Perhaps the door is still open to move for braithwade next season when Evans and likely Maguire leave and hopefully we have CL football to look forward to

Great. We will pick him up half price next year when Everton are a championship team, or in their January closing down sale!
Some news earlier about him .. not exactly agitating but really wanting to move to United this summer. I'm not sure what Everton's strategy is here tbh. Very likely he won't sign a new contract with them and run his current deal down. Maybe not a target for next year but the year after that for minimal amounts of money.
There's also the real risk of relegation and being forced to sell.
“No intention of selling this summer” “Only consider selling if valuation met”
Posturing whilst also in the same breath kind of begging.
I like Branthwaite, think he’d be a good buy, just not at anything above 55mil. Has a bit of everything but unless United and Everton can find a middle ground it just ain’t happening.

Time to throw some chairs around Jarrad!
He needs to just stay where he is, and lets see how much he's worth next summer.
Feel sorry for the player really.
Aye. Not sure why anyone is getting cranky or taking offence in this. From what I’ve seen he’s not a £70m player (at least when you compare him to other players on the market). He might become one, he might not, but Everton want to sell him at that level and they won’t be able to buy anyone as good with the money from sale they’ll be allow to reinvest.
He needs to hire Rabiot's mum as an agent.
I have no desire to see a club like Everton is trouble but TBF I think the stuff you are quoting is very much driven by the incredibly weird narrative, driven by EFC journos, that stemmed from the Yoro signing.
