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.

If it was Chelsea, they would somehow be able to sell him for 40m
Yeah but that comes with the "we can't afford that" and Roman asking them to check what's in that big brown bag behind them that wasn't there 10 minutes ago. Suddenly they have another £30m to spend on the transfer
Our best bet to move him on his as a makeweight for Rice.
Yes, cheaper than buying new players, but even so, would Mata have only re-signed because £140k per week was put on the table?
No, he would have accepted far less than that.
Remember when Giggs & Scholes were in their 30's and given one year deals, I don't recall them being offered bumper pay rises each time.
When WHU value Declan Rice at £100m, but they baulk at £30m for an experienced International attacker, who was the main reason for them getting European football..?
Yeah that is the best option but sounds very much like they are baulking at our valuation
I’m fairly sure if he moves on the same terms as here then he’d be their highest earner. That’s why they don’t want to pay the big fee
Does that not say something to you? They’re skint
and deluded...
Rumours going around both Athletico Madrid and Ac Milan want him, perhaps just Rumours to make West ham pay up.
Is the porn, sex toys and lingerie business not doing well?
You think that crowd put their own money in?
they’re hawking rice for more than he’s worth and scrabbling around for loans and saying lingard is too expensive. No wonder they employed moyes
Well if he leaves then prepare yourself for a laugh. £20m would be an amazing price for someone like Lingard in this climate. I hope we get it but who knows.
28, 1 year left on contract, on huge wages and he's been largely poor and inconsistent for years. And of course Covid.
I disagree. I take your point but another way of looking at it is - was outstanding at West Ham, is English, in his prime years, would probably sign a new contract if offered, negating the last year of contract issue, and is an experienced international. I'd say United should be asking at least 20-25m.
I'm sure he's recovered by now
We can ask all we want, fact is no team so far are willing to stump up the money we want for him.
Almost 29 with one year left on his contract !!
Going to be hard to get big money for him.

Sorry what?
Why can't Arsenal just go out and sign James Maddison from Leicester and then Leicester give us £30M for Lingard as his replacement.
Everyone's a winner

Over a short period of time, he had a period of form for United like that too back in 2017. In between he didn't play that well so West Ham aren't naive enough to think that's the sort of form he'll produce all the time.
Yes and what benefit does that bring to West Ham or any other club?
He's 29 in a few months.
Well as far as we know no contract has been offered and there's no guarantee that he would sign it. So right now in July 2021 he has less than a year to run on his current deal. Which dramatically reduces his potential value.

United could ask for £120m the problem is though you have to find someone willing to pay it. As I said £20m would be an amazing deal for United. But if I had to bet on it I suspect it'll be closer to £15m if he goes as West Ham are skint.
We should be all over this. Lingard plus 30m should do the trick.
Anyhow, I thought he would have been sold quicker

Maddison wouldn't be!
I want a fit wife, but that's not happening either.
He’ll run down his contract.
If it is true about us playing 2 attacking mids and 1 defensive next season, maybe Ole could use him as a back up for that.
Ath. Madrid reportedly interested in Lingard, so a swap with Trippier could perhaps work. If we´re lucky, we´ll get a couple of millions as well.

Straight swap Lingard for Trippier would be fair.
Similar ages both 1 year left on their deals.

Makeweight for who? We don’t want rice at this club either.
I may be biased but Manchester & Arsenal would be winners but Leicester gets shafted.Why can't Arsenal just go out and sign James Maddison from Leicester and then Leicester give us £30M for Lingard as his replacement.

Would bite their hand off for that.
Would make too much sense.
But surely Lingard isn't up for moving country with his personal family issues?
"Lingod and Phil Jones - just as good as having two brand new signings" - Ole, August 2021
2021 young player of the year, JLingz.
The club twitter don’t help themselves do they
Next they’ll post a picture of Phil Jones drawing his wages from the local ATM
It it was Chelsea, he would be in half the money he is now. We give extremely high salaries to mediocre players and then wonder why we cannot get rid of them.
