In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

They've already got players on £150K a week. I would imagine Sterling will take a cut + Chelsea will give him a fat payoff to subsidise the loss.
Surprised Villa have any money left.
This probably wont cost them much in terms of a fee. I would imagine we'll be buying Duran at the same time for a similar figure.
Who are Chelsea going to sign in return?
Is he not on higher wages than Sancho? And yet that is not stopping signing of a 29yo Sterling and somehow it is a showstopper for everybody to sign a 24yo Champions League finalist...
We have some horrible reputation in the transfer market that seems like will take a lot if time and effort to fix, despite completely new management

Over three years the difference between 150k and 300k is about 23 million, right?
Could just wave the fee and that'd do that job, I reckon. Or small fee and you give him a golden handshake, as you say, if they feel that looks better.
Definitely doable.
Sterling wants to play, to be fair to him. I don't think he's any good but if dracula gets a tune out of him then fair play.
Also, I'm assuming Chelsea will sign a Villa player for the same fee in return.
Thought his I’m staying celebration put an end to it.
Are Villa still in PSR trouble?
I'd have thought all that had surpassed when they did the little PSR rodeo with us and Everton earlier in the summer.
Villa need a bigger squad now that they’re a CL team so makes sense that they’re getting him. Has CL experience too
Honestly I have no idea just seems to be the way some clubs have done business this summer - particularly Chelsea and Villa.
probably.I’m surprised they’ve not tried to offer us Sterling as part of a deal for Sancho. Or maybe they have and we’ve just not heard about it.
Everyone
Would be a very good Diaby replacement. Emery's building a very decent squad.
You’ll be signing a replacement?!?!
Duran probably
Since Sterling is a boyhood United fan, happy to have him at the club if he accepts below 100K per week
God no. The definition of a busted flush at this point.
Sterling hasn't looked great for 2 or 3 years now but the Villa move could be a good one for him. Emery has a knack of getting the best out of these types of players so it's probably Sterling's best chance of reviving his career at Premier League level.
He seemed to like one striker with four centre mids and Diaby or Bailey roaming last season which would suit Sterling
And we're still stuck with that unflushable turd Sancho
Makes perfect sense. Will play 30 odd games, has CL experience, would combine well with Watkins I think.
Cant imagine his fee though. £0-10m, max. He’s still a £30-40m player too in my opinion. Even at 29. 3 solid years at the top left, at least.

Seeing Chelsea being able to offload Sterling makes me wonder why can't we do same with Sancho and McTominay.
They're not going to get any fancy fee for Sterling and neither do Villa have the money. It'll most likely be a loan deal with Chelsea continuing to pay 50% of his wages. Villa should be in no hurry to get this done, since the alternative for Chelsea is having him float around their training camp for another season while getting paid full wages.
Sterling has had good seasons in the premier league. Sancho hasn’t, McTominay is a plumber and we rejected £20m bids for him.
Wouldn't want him even to be a kit man.
Corrected for you
If they pay over £15m for him I'll be pissed.
Is he even better than what they have on the flanks? Finished player.
Because we want £35m+ for McTominay and nobody wants Sancho.
Chelsea are playing real life football manager. Sign players up and sell them after a season or two once they get bored of them.
Villa improving.
I'm not sure he would start for them.
Who do they have on the left?
That should be a good move for him, provided that he's motivated to perform of course. Thought it will be Villa/WHU/Newcastle for him if he decided to stay in England. Otherwise I could only imagine a loan to Atletico/one of the Italian big three, or Saudi.
Plucky little Villa getting success against the odds by only being the 3rd or 4th biggest spenders of the last 5 years
Rogers benched?
