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.

What a beast!
We're getting a fantastic deal and a top class keeper in return. Straight into the team for the Liverpool game.
He's also very good at saving penalties.
Pretty sure the stats prove that Hoek improved De Gea's aerial ability last season, same deal here and he really might be a decent pickup.
De Gea was a young weakling. Punching the ball just invites more pressure. Let's hope he's a quick learner.
I couldn't care if he punched instead of catches, so long as he punches it clear and far.
I suggest you learn how to use an apostrophe and I'll watch football
I don't think it's a question of ability, it's just different leagues and different needs.
Somewhere, someone at the Mirror is just waiting to type, "SAT NAV signs for United."
Personally, I hope they go with 'KEYLOR SOZE'.

Basically unless we sign Neuer or Courtois we aren't getting a readymade like for like replacement for De Gea.
Navas is a good option I'd think.

Stop bullshitting Balague.
Heard that a couple of times before.
Valdes who is crap with high balls?
IT was quite scary wasn't it. I turned it on and it had music and everything and I was ready to be amazed at this great highlight video....
He looks awful.
Its not true , its just Ballbag spouting more of his shite
Nah, I don't think there will be much uproar as the fans won't miss Keylor like they did with Ozil or Di Maria. Just reeks of Florentino that had to make some kind of "big" signing, but not really necessary if you ask me. DDG will be under much more pressure in Madrid than in Manchester though, especially having sold a club legend like Casillas in the same window.
You guys were going nuts on Facebook, calling for Navas to stay, all the madridstas on twitter too.
I must say I don't know why we held out all this time if this is the best deal we were going to get.
He is useless in the air, I can't understand why we aren't looking in Germany at proper PL suited keepers, not these flashy flappers.
He punched absolutely everything. I'm scared now.
I wanted him to stay aswell, but I'm not going to start burning my Madrid kits over it.
There is one cross that comes to him at about head height at the front post - easy catch. Not an attacker in 6 or 7 yards of him and he punches it.
Also the save from the longshot - he pushed the ball right back towards the penalty spot. If there was an attacker following up its a goal.
Is he really useless in the air like some are claiming here?
How dp you know this?
Dunno, which keeper other than Neuer is super solid on high balls and crosses though? Cech maybe? People are overreacting imo.
Coutouis and De Gea are both excellent at catching crosses and high balls.
De Gea's catching has been immaculate since the start of 2014/15. If memory serves his catching stats got better last season. You lot are getting the best keeper in the world. No doubt.
That being said I'm pleased to be getting Navas in return. When you look at what's available besides De Gea who else could we have got who is better than Navas? Lloris is more accustomed to English football but he's not a better shot stopper than Navas is. If Navas can work on how he deals with high balls, like De Gea did, we'll be set.
Everyone calling this bullshit, this isn't a new rumour plucked out of the air.
Let's see, so the camp of a player who wants to leave is leaking negative stories to the press. I'm shocked.
Ofcourse the Caf laps it up because it feeds the general negative narrative at the moment. Most of you lads just need something to moan about all day long.
Nah, don't think Neuer is moving this season.
Real: we want DDG
Woodward: We want 40m for him
Real: No
Woodward: Straight swap with Benzema?
Real: No
Woodward: What about a fee + DDG for Bale?
Real:No
Woodward: Look we can play dirty if you want. We'll unsettle Ramos
Ramos: Nah I would never leave Real for you
Woodward: Please give us something!
Real: We've got this Keylor something. He's a surplus for us now
Woodward: Wow we've taken a Real's star.
Woodward: We want 40m for him
Real: No

Doesn't mean it isn't bullshit.
Yeah, probably went like that. We're a joke of a club.
It may well be but with even LVG admitting he wasn't sure about DDG initially, it fits the story.
Not true at all. Before he left there were plenty of people who talked about Navas as the best keeper in La Liga.
Most people who watched La Liga that season called him outstanding and he had a terrific World Cup to back it up. He's done little wrong at Madrid too. I for one could quite easily see him as a long-term option for us.
