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 I'll give our scouts and LvG the benefit of the doubt on this - it's hardly a Bebe-like punt into the unknown. He was the starting leftback of the WC runners-up, and one of the board's resident Sporting fans says that he plays better as a centre back. Maybe he's not bad at this football lark.
I thought his buyout clause was 30m euros?
One thing this does prove is that, the Twitter threads are a waste of time
We want players who wants to really play for us and all that.
Sporting can feck right off if they want £30M for him his probably only worth half of that.
He'll be a decent signing. Good option at defence and quick enough to cover the full back position too. If it's a reasonable price then he's better than Vermaelen.
I could criticize him for being unprofessional, but it's always nice when a player really wants to join us like this.
We don't need Rojo to be a top quality player, we just need the talent to be there, even if it is still raw.

That's good enough for me.
We have too many soft players in our team, in my opinion. Could do with some aggression, especially now that Vidic has gone.When he was knackered and useless.
I agree with you.
Bit of a strange one this. More essential than excitement.
Does look a tough fecker though.
Hopefully Woody has more lined up.

If he fits van Gaal's system he's a brilliant signing.
Last time we signed a leftback we also signed a midfielder.
Vidal tomorrow lads.

Rojo's release clause is 30m Euros. Greame Bailey is an utter moron.
£30m plus
Given that his official release clause (not his "promise by the ex-president") is €30m that would be great business by Sporting.
yeyyyyyy
I thought he was meant to be cheap? £30M is just ridiculous.
This transfer
This is going to run on and on isn't it...
Sporting don't even own most of his rights ? Doyen Sports do.
And their asking price was 20 million Euros.
Graeme Bailey likes to troll relating United on his account.

Theres no way he's got a 30m pound release clause. we wont meet that.
He doesn't know shit, another clueless cnut on the twitter basically. KM already said his b.o. clause is 30m Euro.
Seriously, this transfer is just another proof that all those people on twitter don't know shit.
We could get Benatia for that ffs.
Btw, I know it's bs, no need to reply that it's not the real price required.
You would think a transfer like this would be relatively straightforward when compared to others but oh no Sporting will have to insist on taking the piss.
30m.. Well let's just leave it at that.

I wouldn't mind if history repeats itself and an even better LB of French decent (cannot think of one at the moment) is signed later; has a stinker of debut but goes on to become a legend.... Also the Argie can be told he can't go to Liverhampton and signs for a Madrid club instead
.30M for Rojo; 27M for Carvalho; Sporting are taking the piss. I would rather have latter by the way though I am honest to admit I do not know much about Rojo.
Love how keen he is to push through a move. I do have sympathy for Sporting fans though
Would much prefer Blind
I suppose we'd be killing 2 birds with one stone with this singing, though. Still not worth that much, mind.
Site went down, have we signed him?
As much as Argentinians have proved successful signings for us, I'm a bit skeptical about this one
He'll be signed for between 10m pounds and 15m pounds. Also loving the facts that again none of the newspapers got a hold of this move until the move was well advanced. We should have an official instagram stalker at the Caf who'll stalk every footballer's page and act like ITK.
Have you seen Benatia? He's definitely worth that. You're talking about a world class cb here.

Transfer request handed in. Looks like he's coming.

Jamie hasn't got a clue. Can't keep up.
