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?!

That all this talk about Real Madrid is a tad hasty, and that they haven't fronted up with anything official.
*shrugs*
Why are Madrid even buying him?
feckin shit on a stick.
if we lose out on him over a measerly 6 million quid, then we need our heads testing.

surely all this talk of us being in negotiations with Lyon and Benzema means that our bid was accepted, otherwise it would be tapping up, so it shouldnt really matter if Real made a larger bid?
I'd rather him come out and say he doesn't want to come here rather than hear he would have been happy to 
feck sake, get a hold of yourselves. He isn't that great a player, Madrid are just being silly again paying ridiculous amounts for yet another attacker, obviously ignoring their defensive vulnerabilities. If they feel comfortable doing so then let them make a laughing stock out of themselves.
If Fergie was that desperate we would have had him earlier, but he isnt so im sure he's got something planned.

Because they failed to get Villa and they need a top class center froward.
sorry for being the bearer of crap news...hope it is bollox though....
£6 million is more the we paid for Evra and £1 million short of Vidic, it is not nothing
The wrist slitters just won't accept this.
Same news with Guardian.

If we miss out because we refused to pay money we actually have it will just be shades of Ronaldinho all over again.
Yeah but if the lad isn't fussed either way, Lyon will just accept and go with the highest bid.
Just up the bid, if only to piss madrid off into having to pay even more. If we cant get our targets because of these fools, hopefully we can drive them into administration...
Well, Lyon could've given us permission to talk to the player while the 'suit's' sort out the actual fee for the player. During in which Real gazumped us.
No point in going into a bidding war with Real Madrid. They can afford gambling 30-40 million on a 21 year old. I won't be disappointed if we don't.
I'm off for the next 30 mins. and I hope we'll have seen another twist to this
£32 million pounds from Real Madrid. Which means we offered £26 million. The same amount we used for Tevez.
I thought we had offered more. Yeah, feck it - £38M is taking the piss. Let's be honest, he's unproven outside France.
If we were in negotiations with the player himself, our bid must also have been accepted or it would be tapping up.
If it turns out that the reason we dont get him is over £6m, after we have just earned £80m from the Ronaldo affair and were willing to pay £1m more for Tevez (£24m vs £25m) then frankly Gill and Fergie need to loosen their damn purse strings. If we were willing to pay £30m for Berbatov, we can easily afford the same amount for Benzema.
With all that said, I sincerely doubt it is as simple and straightforward as that missing £6m.
edit: numbers may be slightly off, but the principle stands. If we can pay £30m for Berbatov and offer £25m for Tevez, Benzema is worth at least £32m
feck this shit
So thats £170 million Real Madrid have spent in the space of a month, and it doesnt look to end there.
Wonder whether Blatter will open his gob and try to limit this crazy spending.....or maybe im being too hopeful.

Wouldn't be suprised if Benzema turned out to be gay
May be we're going for Huntelaar for cheap and are going to let Benzema go to Madrid
They won't be driven into administration. They'll just sell their training ground to the Madrid municipality...again.
Wheres this news coming from? It's not on Sky?
They already have Ruud. They also have Higuain, Raul, Huntelaar and Negredo.
If we wanted Huntelaar we would have made him part of the Ronaldo deal.
I think Huntelaar is a very big possibility if Real sign Benzema.
There's been nothing to indicate that we'll be getting Huntelaar
He, Eto'o and Benzema are the only players I could see giving us enough goals.feck anyone who pisses off to Madrid. Bastards.

SAF stop fussing about sign Huntelaar
Seems like Ronaldinho again with us failing to up the bid.
Why should anyone believe "esteemed journalist" Graham Hunter anyway. I won''t believe United have even bid for the player if Gill and Fergie do not confirm.
How may times is a player bought and people they throw in "he chose us over United/we outbid United" to make the player and the club sound better.
Why do you want him to sign Huntelaar?
Benzema or Fabiano!
Benzema or Fabiano!
I'd love him at united but if we were going to get him, we'd have got him a long time ago and we haven't been linked with him.
There's been nothing to indicate that we'll be getting Huntelaar
There arent many other options available, and Madrid will be pretty eager to sell him and get him off the wage bill. Huntelaar or Benzema are my two firm favorites for strikers this summer, for me at least.
