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.
We should sign Torres aswell while we're at it.. oh and Fabregas...
Actually, I know you're just being sarcastic, but that's not a bad idea. They would definitely improve our squad and Torres would compliment Rooney brilliantly.
Massive.
I saw that you had posted in this and asked myself, 'what are the odds he has scrolled 2 pages back to respond to k14's post?'.
And some call me a muppet.
You're obsessed with me. I find it cute.
People are too quick to write of a youngster. He will be a great player in the future.
No way
The word stalker springs to mind.
We should sign him if we don't get Berbatov. He is a decent finisher, passing aint that bad and more importantly, he is young and has a lot of potential. The Silvester transfer showed that there can be direct transfers between the two clubs.
He shags Brucie's daughter
He's feckin shite.
No way Jose.
Word.
Bendtner?
Are you having a

No wonder the thread starter was banned. Nough Said.
Agreed
He blocks goals.
He's shite. Looked like he'd just been introduced to a football for the first time in that Euro match the other day, absolute spastic.
We may have got some money from Frankfurt for him...talk of around five million.
5 million? Bloody hell, well done Arsenal.
Deal is dead.
feck.
feck.
Classic chief. Talk about every player that shows a bit of promise at some point as being potential United quality, compare him to a top player he's nothing like and make yourself out to be an expert on some kid you've seen play just a couple of times. Rinse and repeat.

It's easy going on with these kind of prediction wrong. I was sure that Bojan will become a world beater.Enough about the chief, Whats De Gea doing on this page?
Ha, ha, to be fair Bendtner was a very promising centreforward if nothing like RvN. He just didn't want it enough (possibly difficult to be hungry if you're earning £2.5M a year and banging a princess).

There's still a decent player in there. That goal against sp*rs means I'll never hate him. He's just below Ian Allinson level of affection for me.
Classic Brwned. I bet you never watched Bendtner's successful spell at Birmingham, that is why you think it clever to make such a post. Hind sight can make even a fool look very clever after all, when it comes to young players and their potential.

Is how Steve Clarridge accessed him at the time, whilst accessing his potential. Which is the exact same thing I did at the time. The same attributes anyone who watched Ruud at United in 2003 would say the Dutch man consistently had.
Hindsight is a motherF'er.
I did actually. Saw bits and pieces of his time there and a couple of games. Thought he showed plenty of promise for sure and I still think he'll end up a very decent player. Nothing like Ruud though. The point wasn't that your were hyping up a player that didn't/doesn't have any talent, it's that you were making yet another wildly inappropriate comparison and likely based the majority of your expert knowledge on a couple of online articles in some strange attempt to present yourself as Redcafe's chief global youth scout or something. Although I suspect very few people echoed your suggestions of him being able to reach van Nistelrooy level goalscoring records. That was just the cherry on top. A bit like when you predicted Campbell to "reach Drogba/Eto'o" levels by the time he's 23. Gotta push the boat out eh.
I think you left out the most important part of that "assessment" by the way.
"Value More than £1m"
Not exactly saying he was the next superstar. Just someone who stood out as a very talented player at that level.
Multi quote in 3 ... 2 ...
Stop acting like Hermione Brwned. It's annoying.
Nistelroy?
Bendtner is more Vieri than Nistelroy. A VERY poor man's Vieri, mind you. But as type of player goes...

Bendtner is just Bendtner.
I wish he'd been given a good run rather than just being stuck out on the flank whenever he came on.
It's statements like that show just how immature people like you actually are. I have NEVER been an expert on football. I'm not a trained coach. I haven't played professional football either. All I am is a footballer lover who has spent a large portion of my personal time during my life either playing or watching football. At most I'm just an informed fan. Nothing more, nothing less. A person willing to talk about football and be vocal about my opinions on it. The problem with creatures like you though is you conflate opinion with expert-ism. Which is dumb in the extreme. On top of the fact you think its a crime for people to share their opinions, and imagine people should be afraid about ever being proved wrong about an opinion they ever gave.
Typical. In your continous attempt to appear so clever you can't even remember what I actually said about Campbell.
Let me remind you:
Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber said:
To claim ''I predicted'' he'd reach 'Drogba/Eto'o levels' like I gave a %100 guarantee is obvious BS.
Of course you would. After all the Clarrige assesment of his skill set made you look rather foolish. Since it could very well be used to describe the consistency Ruud showed for United in 2003. So much for your '' wildly inappropriate comparison'' theory..
Lacking in relevance. It would have been a valid thing to point out If I ever placed an actual figure to the value of Bendtner's talent. Or if I hadn't strictly spoken of his potential in terms of my opinion.
In case you NEVER noticed. He gave an assessment of the players skill set that could easily be used to describe the pro Ruud was in 2003. He didn't need to say the lad was the next (insert name) because that was never the point of his article.
This comment sums his position up well ''However, as the game started to take shape I controlled myself and was eventually offered real evidence to justify all the rave reviews.''
Maybe you need to remember what the phrase rave review stands for.
I'm done wasting time defending myself from your lame attempt at scoring forum points.
Sounds like the deal is dead because of his wage demands. That seems to always be the stumbling block. The guy should really take a pay cut.
He just needs a massive kicking from the rest of the squad. Kick feck out of him and convince him to piss off and free up a squad place for an actual player who can be arsed.
Everyone can and does make wrong calls and predictions. Not everyone goes to as great lengths to do so as Chief did on this occasion. I dont know why you're defending it
