In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Funny Tevez wearing that United shirt for no reason, if he actually liked the club he had a good, overly fair deal placed before him. What a knobber, I quite liked him at one point too.
Sadly he sold his soul to a money grabbing twat who now controls his footballing life.
Cocks out?
Where's that pic by the way?

Spoil sport
maybe he has to keep the deal secret until it's finalised. Hence the secret wearing of the shirt.
OK.. Yea I totally understand.. But I doubt that it happened is all.. especially the taking the pics bit..
Urm.. He was a united player and was obligated to wear it.. Also if you would see Beckham wear one Tomorrow it wouldn't be very surprising as he is a passionate fan of this club..
Benzema wouldn't be found wearing it like Tevez.. Is what I meant BTW.. Because Adidas is hardly going to send him a Manchester United jersey and say here you go wear it if you like.. However they could easily have sent him a jersey of a Adidas team like either Real Madrid or Chelsea.. Whether he chooses to wear it is completely up to him..
So if he was wearing it.. That meant that it was either sent by SAF or he bought it himself..
I never meant to say that is was a casual thing to do.. He just made it out to be like that..
According to FranceFootball, Benzema days at Lyon are counted..

There is a subliminal message in there telling us he will sign for us on Friday.
Does anyone else think that l'OL suggests this is all just a cruel, French hoax?
Cocks out?
I asked this twice.
I asked this twice.
I'd keep it out if I were you, just in case like...
All these reports may sound encouraging to us, but in reality they're probably just the first step to him signing for Real.
I certainly can't see us getting him if Real has made him their next target.

i dont say i disagree BUT when the king talk the other just listen
anyway we will see what will happen
red till i die
I would like to see Lyon receiving an official bid from us by July 2nd just to make things more interesting. It would give them and Benzema some food for thought. Besides how will you ever know if there is a chance of getting a player without making an effort?

We should have some sort of "stay away" agreement with Real about a player we wanted.
We may have already decided that we don't want him, that the price will be too much or we know that he wants to go to Madrid at some point. I would imagine SAF is sick of hearing the work Madrid.
I bet he just pulled a generic red shirt and the press went mad.We, united fans, listen to Eric the King. But in France, Zidane is seen as a god, especially for the young players like Benzema who grew up watching the unbeatable france team (98-02) lead by him. Zidane always talks shit, he doesn't seem to know much about football tbh, his interviews are boring and nothing special, but he does have a huge influence in France. More over, as said Gaffs, he and Benzema both have algerian relatives. It has to be considered.
That's exactly what i think (and what i said earlier).
No, won't happen.
sad but true
How so?, this is the same madrid who couldn't agree a deal for villa over a few million euros, this is mainly due to them paying us a large chunk for ronaldo. If he's fergie's main target then I can see us spending up to £40 mill for him (the same fee madrid refused to pay for villa).
I'm not a transfer muppet but considering how much madrid have already spent and their refusal to spend big on villa. I'm pretty confident we can beat them to signing Benzema. You have to remember that Benzema wants to continue to develop with the world cup in mind. His agent also said that we'd be the preferred destination for him to develop his game at.
After looking at all that, what indicates to you that if madrid want him, they'd get him?
Another legendary gif by TopWe used that on Valencia.
True but keep in mind he have stated that he have "dream of playing in Madrid someday"
I am still pretty sure that he will stay in Lyon one more year and then he is off to someone.
We used that on Valencia.
That is just brilliant!
Yeah but he said he would prefer to develop at united. I'm pretty sure he wants to establish himself as a world class striker before going to Madrid. His agent also said that Benzema wasn't ready to be part of the galaticos (or something along those lines)
Alright. Maybe I missed that part...
I usally stop read when Madrid is involved in the text!
it's not about monies, it about his desire to play in Spain. If both teams make an offer i see him going to Circus Madrid.
Shocking spelling
Do you have links to those two statements, Devil_Forever? Where he says he would like to develop at United and that he isn't ready to be a Galatico.
Sorry Top, I just vaguely recall reading something along those lines. If I do find it, I'll post the link.
We used that on Valencia.
best one yet Top
I reckon he'll be a United player in the morning.
