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.
He's always looked pretty average to me for Newcastle. He seems to be better when he plays for France though.
Pardew has made a few seemingly decent players look shit. Hopefully it's that.
He is a decent player.
Sagna's better. Considering he's only 2 and a bit years younger than Sagna, it doesn't seem like a wise move, but fair enough.
Two and a bit years is quite a lot.
He's preferred ahead of Sagna in the NT, so he must be decent.
*Waits for 'the best RB in the league' comment, haha

People only acknowledge Sagna as the best now that we've sold him. It's Zabaleta these days anyway.
Hasn't impressed me. Looked one of the worst players for France in the last game.
Are you referring to yourself in the third person again, Shinji?
Not surprised.
I guess if it came down to Debuchy v Aurier we've gone the less-exciting but safer option. Shame as Aurier is a big Gooner fan from what I've seen.

Ah shit. Forgot about Aurier. I like him.
All I can think about when I hear "Debuchy" is this and how I imagine that they are somehow related
(And that he could one day, possibly become as good a footballer as he was musician...)

There are people who think Sagna is the best RB in the league?
He always seems to look good when I watch France, but shit for Newcastle. I guess thats the Pardew effect though.
Would've thought you'd had gone for Aurier over Debuchy tbh, seemed like you had him all but done.
Think Debuchy's a good player though, bit shit for Newcastle but that's more down to Pardew not letting him get forward at all. He'll be a good signing.

Decent player. No better than Sagna and won't have fans screaming his name, but he'd be solid.
Sagna was a quality player for Arsenal and seriously underrated. Debuchy is a good buy if it's true but he's not in the same league as Sagna.
Newcastle are crap.
You play better around better players. He looks a top player playing for France.
Whenever i have seen him play for Newcastle he looks so shit, i remember when we played them at Sports Arena or whatever its name is, we scored four and three goals was down to him, he was soo awful defensively it was shocking. It was the match in which Kagawa and Mata destroyed them in the Second half.
By all accounts he's a much better player than he's showed at Newcastle. Decent short term option for Arsenal.
Average premier league player.
So is Rafael in his defensive duties!
I agree, I'd very much like a new RB.
Not much of a fan of his defensively, but he's decent going forward.
Not a fan.
It's been confirmed by Debuchy on his instagram.
Not convinced that's a particularly good signing for them.
Solid signing for Arsenal.
Nothing special but he will be a solid player for them and they really needed a fullback.

If Aurier's really off to PSG it makes sense. He should slot right in without being a world beater for a couple of seasons at least.
Much better option than Aurier for the simple reason that he's not going to Africa for a month.
Solid signing but you're not going to upgrade on Sagna whoever you buy.

Newcastle's best player last season, much improved. Still shaky defensively, though.
I thought you were a gooner
Bellerin to be his back up ?
Definitely a downgrade from Sagna. I'm glad they've signed him.
He's better than Sagna currently probably and starting for France ahead of him, but not much in it.
He's the same level, in my opinion.
He'll look better in a team that actually dominates possession most of the time. Less isolated defending to do over the 90 minutes, and more time spent going forward. He'll look good there.

Not a fan at all. I hadn't seen him play much before he joined the barcodes but I was disappointed in him and think he looks bang average.
