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.

I think Dier made the wrong move. With Rojo going, he would start for us and play the Champions League. If Ilori who was better than him couldn´t hold a place at Liverpool, i doubt he will start for Spurs also. He will probably play some games (mainly in the Cups) and that´s it.
I think he trained but was really rubbish at it.
Evra wasn't a barrel of laughs either from what I remember.
Well as long as he's not an injury prone defender I suppose I'll take him.
Rather him than Vermaelen.

Well, if the club break their promise to let him go and he really wants to play for us I don't see the big problem. The club were unprofessional on their behalf too.
When I said £11m I just did a rough conversion in my head, but when I checked Google it says £11.97m.
€15m isn't going to be over £15m though.
A centerback that tries this in defense, must be very good with the ball on his feet. What does this mean for Blackett though? He did well at lcb during pre-season.
I suppose the one thing to take from this if true is the media reporting LVG wanted a left footed CB was obviously true.
The 'promise' was made by the old president. He can't just expect it with the new one because someone else 'agreed' to it.
nothing to see here..
You clearly think the price is €20m but the general consensus now is that it's €15m. So about £12m is right.
Apparently he was awful on loan last season - he still has loads to learn.
Well he can have bad luck in a play but i wouldn´t worry about that. He´s not injury prone. He´s very strong physically. He has the physical tools for a demanding and long season of english football.
They were all Benfica players, not Sporting..
That's great news and good enough for me to be fair, our other 3 CBs are made of glass.
That doesn't really add up though, with people saying his clause is 15M too. They have to let him go if that's the case, right?
Nah, that was a 'verbal agreement' Rojo had with the old president. His contractual release clause is still €30m.
Thanks for quoting my fail
His clause isn't €15m, it's still €30m as far as I know. The €15m was apparently just a 'verbal agreement' he had with the old president and because we've offered €20m he feels like that should still be honored.
Is he any good? Garay was the Argentinian defender who impressed me at the World Cup.
Or completely useless on his weaker foot.
He´s off to my ignore list. That´s like confusing United with City
I´m just kidding mate, i know it was an honest mistake I only read that:
Wouldn't add up with us bidding 20M though, so you're probably right.
Edit: FFS, Tweet deleted, said that the former president edited the clause to 15M.
I've not seen a bad Argetinian defender...they are all well hard and brutal defenders.

I even watched Benfica play in the pre season competition against Arsenal and they looked poor, not sure how I managed to confuse the 2.
Kinda reminds me of Rafael, if he were taller.
Clear strengths - aggression in both boxes, heading ability, physically strong and fairly quick, very comfortable on the ball.
Clear weaknesses - positional awareness, showboating and a bit mental

You do deals like that at the beggining of the transfer window, not a few days before the league campaign start. Can't help to think the alternative options have failed. I expected that TBH. Can't wait to see him in action, I have no idea how good he is.
This is a good assessment minus the Rafael comparison. I can´t see similarities. I think Van Gaal will work on those cons though. He won´t put up with his disciplinary brain farts for sure. Rojo would be much better if he had some "Fergie hairdryer" incentives when he was 20/21.
I have to say, all the videos posted have done is made me rate him even less, now I see he's prone to doing silly things in defence. Hard to stay positive right now.
Kind of underwhelming.... Looked good at the World Cup but I never really paid attention to him before. Is he mainly a center back or fullback? Would he be better then one of our 3 defenders? An obvious positive would be that he stays fit and isn't injury prone, and is good on the ball.
Would be a good signing, I'd rather get him than Vermaelen or Blind.
He also has a good name.

He's mainly a centre back, didn't impress as a left back at Sporting but he was good there for Argentina. I'd say he's better than Jones personally, definitely isn't as good as Smalling or Evans though. His on the ball ability isn't exactly stand out but it's not bad either.
Apart from those two days early in the window, this window has been awful. Having only seen this guy at the world cup it's hard to judge but I wasn't overly impressed then. We need an experienced leader at the back, not another up and coming raw talent.
That's an understatement, it's been bloody awful. Just sign Benatia ffs.
How old is the fecker?
