I hope we're in for him. He's a quality LB, and can also do a job as a defensive midfielder.

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 best mates with Ronaldo, he obviously knows he's leaving...
They paid 30Million
Is he good defensively?
Is he good defensively?
Definitely a better option than Baines, only 25 as well.
Most clubs in Europe would be in for Coentrao but Spurs would be the ideal location as he's miles better than Assou-Ekotto. Spurs should demand him in the Bale deal.
He wants a CL team and Madrid haven't been selling cheaply this summer. Still, we're in the final two weeks of the window, Ancelotti left him out of the squad for today, so who knows.
After Van Persie, there's no point in me saying, 'where would we use him', but do we need him?
Will 10m do for him?
Nope, Madrid will be looking for €20m probably, as they ought to be. He'll be used in any deal they may strike for Bale.
No new news from The Real Madrid £40 Million Sale 2013 this weekend/today then?
Ozil looked well miffed at being subbed off last night.
He was screwing!! To be honest he didnt play better than Isco so don't see his problem.
According to the Mirror (so it's bollocks) Modric wants to become our "Star Summer Signing" ... as I say though, it's almost certainly made up nonsense.
At the moment, Modric is the (seemingly, possibly available) player who I'd like us to aquire the most, but yeah, doubt it will happen.

Did Modric start the game or play any part of it?
Started it and played the whole game.
Yeah I think we can forget all about Modric, unfortunately.
He only started because Alonso was injured. Played okay though. Its not an impossible signing.
It will be impossible if we behave the way we did this summer and put in a pathetic offer. Unlimited budget, total bollocks from Woodward.
I think the quote from moyes was that there is no budget as such (reading between the lines that mean we're fecked)
Yeah i actually think Khedira, if anyone, will be available. He'd improve us, though I'm not a massive fan. Modric on the other hand
I wouldn't believe anything the Mirror prints about United. Biggest ABU rag on the market. In any case, if we're going to sign anyone from Real, I'd rather it were Ozil than Modric.
For all the possibilities that Bale's likely arrival at Madrid opens up (and their purchase of Isco, Illarramendi and Casemiro earlier), at this moment the only player officially on the market is Coentrao because he has asked to leave. He's still waiting for the right offer.
They are not attempting to sell any other players, though the agents of a couple of players (Ozil and Di Maria) are apparently looking for customers.
The only player that they've had a formal offer on, as far as the Madrid press know, is Fenerbahce for Di Maria, which is not quite what he was hoping for. They are apparently waiting to see if a 30m Euro bid from Arsenal arrives.

I'd take all 3 of them.
Personally, I'd go for Coentrao and see if we can play him defensive midfield. He can and has played there for Madrid in the past so if we could convert him, that would be the most ideal in my opinion. Worse comes to worst, he's cover for Evra.
Ozil, Contraeo and Di Maria for £70-£80 million would strengthen us in a lot of key areas (Left wing/Left back and a Rooney replacement)... and we could sign a midfielder the year after, get rid of deadwood like Young too - it is a pipedream though, if we get one signing I'll be pleasantly surprised this summer.
Not good enough to play as a midfielder for us long term imo maybe as a left back though would be good .
Di Maria to Fenerbahce would be an absolutely shocking move. He deserves a move to a top club.
so, you'd like us to spend 70-80m but still not strengthen the one area that we're most in need of strengthening in?
My goodness.
No I wouldn't but what i'm saying is any signings strengthening us, would be welcome at this point.
That's nasty jojojo. And I like that with women. I'm single for 2 and a half weeks now btw.
Whoosh!
An update based on last night's match, the highlights show. Now Granada are a firmly mediocre team but one who are tough to play at home. Goalless draws and single goal margins are normal there, even for big teams.
Alonso, Illarramendi and Khedira are all out injured. So they started with Isco and Modric as a midfield two. At least I hope it was a midfield two because Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria in front of them didn't seem to be playing there. That said, Ozil and Di Maria played well. Great touch, great movement, they just looked very good going forward but the second goal didn't come. In the first half Madrid looked decent but in the second they looked in danger.
Ancelotti substituted Ozil at 60 minutes, Casemiro came on for stability, Ozil looked mightily pissed off, disappointed, angry, something. He subbed Di Maria off near the end to protect the three points, I think Di Maria understood.
If you had to guess who is for sale. Modric isn't, he's vital cover for Alonso and will be a starter even with Alonso back. Ozil and Di Maria know they are either in the shop window or playing for a place but neither of them has officially asked to leave as yet - Coentrao who has asked to leave, was left in Madrid.

Buying Ozil and Coentrao would make so much sense.
We should be going all out to get him - especially after what happened in both our game and the Madrid game yesterday.
That's all good and well but you haven't responded to my post at all jojojo which leaves me angry and confused.
Aww, bless.
Thats what my ex said to me everytime she saw me naked
Edit (2 hours later): Nothing? Not even a giggle? You're not an easy woman!
Has RM been able to sell anybody yet?
Ozil, Di Maria, Benzema, Coentrao and others staying is going to put financial pressure on this club is it not. Silver lining?
