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.

The worst PR of any elite club?
Are you his father? How do you know what he likes? You're basing everything off very weak conjecture.
It's about time Madrid went after a Chelsea player.
Schalke took that title with the Embolo vid
Not sure they qualify as an elite club...
Nothing compelling about Chelsea? Play under Conte? Play alongside Hazard, Costa, Wiliian, Courtois, and Fabregas? Play in London for one of the biggest clubs in Europe? Earn fantastic wages? Be a key cog in a side with huge ambition?
Not to mention the other players we'll be bringing in. We don't need a complete overhaul at all. We actually need about the same amount of retooling as United do.
I thought he was RAWK’s Phase of play’s brother.
A manager that's not even there yet? That's a stupid decision in general. Same thing happened with Van Gaal. I personally do not like to wait for a manager to show up late during transfer season.
You think Chelsea wins when it comes to matters of magnitude in direct comparison to United and Real Madrid?
Courtois, Hazard and Costa who seem quite keen on playing elsewhere?
So now we got a brother of a well-known RAWKmind completing our deals. Don't like the sound of this. ZlatOFF.
I quite like the idea of Zlatan and our medical staff sitting around watching the tennis - Woody pops his head in, asks if they're done yet, sees the tennis, and pulls up a chair.

Just hope Raiola’s nowhere near
Neither Pep nor Mou are "there" yet either and are signing star players. And yes, I do think Chelsea can compete directly with United and Real Madrid. Fabregas and Hazard are two recent examples. Both were wanted by United and other massive clubs. Maybe not this summer but in general, yes.
Courtois and Hazard are going nowhere, btw. Even if Costa goes we'll sign an adequate replacement.
You seem to be thinking Chelsea is a complete spent force after a single poor season. That we're suddenly Liverpool. We just won the league a year ago.
For what is worth, i think Chelsea is nowhere near spent. However, I think you guys are in similar position to what we have been through ( to a much lesser extend). You have very good players but also some dead weight. Realistically, I expect a success would be top 4 this season and a full transfer summer next year. Obviously, under- and over-performance is not out of the question.
Spot on. Top 4 is the goal establishing Conte's style and methods.
Remember this guy?
I'm not saying spent force. I'm saying, based on the context, not as compelling. The London argument is naught based on the player's character.
Guardiola and Mourinho are not focusing on their national teams at the moment.
You're not in any European competition, you don't offer the same prestige. Neither are we, well not really, still a Mickey Mouse cup. Real Madrid are a far better proposition. Second comes United although Arsenal should really be in for him. He'd be a game changer, but for some reason, they seem to have removed themselves.
As of right now, Chelsea are not in an enviable competitive position in the market. But perhaps things will pan out. Just don't think that those yesteryear occurrences will happen again. Won't be able to compete financially anymore since United's sudden disregard for spending and wages nor in terms of a 'project', since Mourinho, is a known quantity and already here, dare I say, where he's always dreamt of being.
Seems destined to be a career back up. I remember when many thought we should dump De Gea and keep him.
For anyone not arsed with reading that, he's signed a new five-year deal.
On the contrary, mate, we'll be able to compete financially even more so then we were able to before. New PL money, new stadium soon, and we're about to sign a ridiculous shirt sponsorship with Nike that's second in value only to yours.
You're right in the sense that we won't be going out and breaking world records like Real Madrid and United probably will do, but money won't be an issue for us. As Leicester proved last season, that's not everything.
I won't clog up this thread anymore with this discussion so I suppose we'll see who's right.
There's no way Rooney is going to China, even if we wanted to sell him. Can you imagine him there? He's got a young family, well settled in the country. It's just nothing but wishful thinking.
Buyout clause of 150m.
Dear God be true. Would be our most important transfer this summer.
We could probably fleece them as well.
He's been a great servant to the club, and one of my favourite players in recent years, but I'd be pretty happy if this were true
