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.

No it doesn't say nothing. It says English players are overpriced compared to foreign talent.
Welcome Rojo! I bet he's lurking the caf already.
Stop moaning. Most deals are done in installments. Not many are paid all upfront at once.
It's written as though it's a set fee of 5m euros at those dates
Why does it take so long for us to announce these deals, does anyone know?
I agree that English players are overpriced but this is a bad example imo.
£16m + Nani's wages in full for a year!! That can't be right?
Ah, I see, cheers.
Welcome Rojo
But...
... am I the only one who thought Nani was one of our better players on Sat, and that he seemed to provide a spark and a better option than hoofing in the general direction of the toilet brush. Seems odd that we'd be so eager to part with him. Would much rather have given them Anderson.

Do you ever have anything positive to say? Who cares how the deal is structured?
Unless the ownership structure described up to this point has been entirely incorrect that'll end up in a legal battle. To me it looks a very opportune thing to try from Sporting. I think @Sly said that they were paid £400k for approx. 40% of Carvalho. This, if they could force it through, would get them out of that.
Marcos The Red, welcome to Manchester United!
Don't stop now Woody, get us a fe.king CM!

I'm not fussed about the money, we're addressing our significant problems. Hope he turns out to be worth every penny.
Another deal done by overpaying because our CEO has no idea what he's doing and that's his only way to close deals.
Hope we'll now move on to targets who will actually strengthen the line-up. Glad we have one more body in defence but not convinced he'll start when everyone is fit.
You're bitching because United are not paying enough for the player?
You're a Fecking muppet.
Would that be our problem or Sporting for terminating the contract?
It does make you wonder if the Glazers are really prepared to spend 60-70 mill more. I hope I am wrong but it would explain we haven't stumped up the cash for Vidal or Di Maria yet.
Sweet, if nothing else we're at least less exposed to injuries in defence.
From all I've heard about this guy I'm not expecting him to be much more than okay. Hopefully he'll surprise me and step up in a massive way.
Even if he doesn't though he'll still be a decent addition in that we're quite desperate for defenders right now. Plus, if nothing else, I'm definitely happier signing this guy than Vermaelen.

It's good to get this deal wrapped up. What kind of CB is he? Do people think he'll be first choice?
I'll be positive if we sign Vidal Di maria or Benatia dont worry. Dont see why I should get excited about giving them Nani on a free for a year plus 20m for Rojo.
I'm fairly certain he will, because he's left-footed, even in a back-four. Was the same with Badstuber.
He looked good in the world cup and is a player who really showed he wanted to play for Man Utd. That's more than enough for me. I hope he turns out excellent and proves some of you guys wrong.
Brophs mate i think we sold Carvalho´s percentage to another fund. It´s not Doyen, i´m not sure. I´ll check it.
During times of inflation those who owe money win and those who are owed lose and that's why it will always make more sense to structure a deal if possible.
feck off with your insults. And read my posts properly.
Im delighted with this deal. Specially with Nani. Cmon guys, you owed us after you got Ronaldo for peanuts 
Excited to see Rojo in action for us, especially seeing how excited he is to be here.
My question though is regarding the whole Nani business..is he joining them on loan for the season, with us paying his wages? or was he involved as part of an exchange, and we are just paying his first years wages? Sorry if i missed it somewhere, didn't see that anywhere when i was reading through.

Welcome onboard Rojo. I think this will be a good signing.
The first of many over the next few days hopefully.

Happy with this signing. He's pretty young, wants to play for United, versatile, relatively cheap, and from the little I've seen from him, he's a good defender with potential. He certainly fits Van Gaals philosophy, in the way he's good at playing from the back. Really hope he can be a success here. With Evans possibly still being out, we could all see Rojo making his début on Sunday.
Although most won't agree, I personally feel this should be it for centre backs now. We now have four first team centre backs, with Keane and Blackett as back up.
It's time we give Smalling, Jones and Evans a full season to step up and prove themselves, providing they stay fit, because I personally feel they are good enough to to do.

I think we pay the Money to Sporting with Doyen's approval and they 2 then battle it out in courts etc..
Sporting have been pretty oppurtune already getting Nani loan for free and now want more from Doyen as well.
Sure we can afford 25/30 payments. Madrid are paying Bales fee over 3 years I think.
No idea to be honest. Id imagine that is what is being sorted right now.
Nothing wrong with installments as we're saving considerable amounts on interest money this way. Too bad we overpaid 10x these savings when Fellaini's release clause expired and Moyes panicked.
It is just a year long loan deal with us paying all of his wages, with the hope that he puts in good performances so we can actually get good money for him next summer.
So, £50m on two left backs. Keep it up for Utd.
I have no idea who he is.
Good signing.
Good signing.
