In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
This seems pricey for a striker with 7 goals in 37 appearance, but Richarlison cost Spurs £60m 11 goals/33 appearance. Striker is very expensive nowadays.
So much for that
I'd rather believe Matteo Moretto's report on his release clause (€80m) than Robson's €100m report.
This guy looks a really good dribbler and seems to hold the ball up well. None of which Lingard has.
Joao Felix has 1 in 4 for AM too
He plays 20 min per game
They want 80 million

People put too much emphasis on how much game time he's had in his first season at a top side, in a new league, at 22 years old. Players like Mane, Salah, Bruno, De Bruyne weren't playing week in and week out for a top side at that age.
Going to Wolves in January it seems. Guess we'll see whether he's any good soon.
It's 40m euros. When we wanted him, they wanted 50m gdp. If ETH really likes him, maybe we can hijack the deal
He's not worth that price tag. He would not even be good enough to be a starter at either top 3 Portuguese clubs, nevermind a Premier League side.
He would start for Sporting, but at the price Atletico would ask it wouldn't be a option. I actually rate more Taremi from Porto than him, but he is better than Evanilson.
He is more skilled than Evanilson, but in terms of determination and end concentration Evanilson is a bigger threat. What Evanilson lacks in skill he makes it up with never give up attitude and actually a quite intelligent offball movements.
Not entirely sure he would start for Sporting, because he is not very effective in leading the forward line, and he is not exactly a "natural" player as a winger.
Would probably work better on Porto since they used the Fast + Playmaker forward duo combo.
€30m seemed a bit generous for Hertha and now Atletico can turn a nice profit on him after he recorded 0G/2A this season?

This is a Jorg€ M€nd€s deal, no further explanation is necessary. And between two clubs where his influence is huge. Nothing fishy at all
No idea how Wolves pull off all these deal$
Someone tell wolves that he is Brazilian.
Feck AM for demanding unrealistic fees whenever we’re linked. Even €40 million for a non goalscoring forward seems excessive.
Mende$
Good player. Another one we should keep an eye on if we want anyone Prem proven.
Agreed. Always thought he was a player.
He is a player and he plays the game with his feet.
Can he play with Mantato?
Wonder if he's got a release clause?
Classy operator this chap.

Good player and is adding goals to his game now. Think in the number 10 role in Amorim's system he would fit brilliantly in it
Joao Pedro, Cunha or Marmoush would be perfect for the behind the striker positions. Even as the striker they'd be good.
Shit why not all three interchanging in the most fluid, hard-working forward line in football.

We've just signed Zirkzee for the same role Pedro and Cunha play for their respective teams.
Probably because that’s costing you about 200m. And with no genuine guarantee of any of them ever scoring more than the 12 league goals any of them have ever peaked at in one season.
Would have preferred him to Zirzkee. Trouble is the United tax.
Mad the plaudits he’s getting, because when he was first linked to us (before he went to Wolves) everyone was calling him a crap & United should he shopping elsewhere .
Should be on the list as a high priority target. Can beautifully play the #10 or IF role behind the striker and link up very well. Technically very good and works his socks off. Prolly cost £50m. I think he is worth it.
We really should have signed him back then. Great player.
Nope. This route is better. He was unproven and to throw him into our side with ETH wouldn’t have done shit. This way he got game time, he has massively improved and more importantly he is premier league proven and plays in the same system we do now.
Isnt that how much Wolves signed him for? I imagine he would be way more expensive. Premier League teams dont sell cheap but maybe there could be a relegation discount....
To be fair, he wasn't playing much at Atletico. Before that he was a hit-and-miss winger at Hertha. I certainly didn't think he was worth the £50m we were being quoted at the time.
As I said a while back in a other thread, he's gonna be leaving Wolves next summer. Really good player.
I don’t think they are getting relegated. They are actually a good side on their day and they will pick up a few more wins over the next month to keep them safe.
