In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Are we just needing the one signing then? Thought it was two more?
I would be very happy if you failed to sign Vidal.
We never failed to sign Vidal, he failed to sign for us.
For sake of him surely better to buy out his contract, or come to an agreement on it, then he can go and find a club in Brazil.
After it got clear to me that the Carvalho stories were a clear briefing, this was actually my first thought:
Or else they're all copying one another's stories and making it seem like there's something to it.
Win win situation. Either we get Carvalho or we pressure Juve to sell Vidal to us.
Or we get both.
Or we get both.
I'm sure Carvalho was one of the players United had already reached an agreement with. One of Moyes picks and one LvG initially turned down. Not sure if United could renegotiate it quickly or if that would have put the player off a little?
They're all fairly reliable journos though.
We will be ahead if we pay Mendes another fee. So I'm not worried about Arsenal considering our relationship with Mendes.
Wouldn't normally post a tweet like that. Thought it was an interesting idea.
Also; surely after our Rojo and Nani deals, we have a better relationship with Sporting than Arsenal? Could be another "in" there.
I remember seeing a tweet floating around somewhere that we offered him to three Brazilian clubs and they all said no. Not sure how reliable that was, though.
Good, it will force Woody to get Vidal.
Makes the most sense considering LVG dropping Vidal's name and all. Negotiation tactics
Our relationship with Sporting has always been good. We've also had very good relations with Madrid for a long time. Probably not a small factor in being able to sign Di Maria and now Carvalho (if he's really our priority now).
Anderson had an offer from a Brazilian team, he turned it down over fears he wouldn't get paid.
Was what I remember seeing at some point anyway.
Anderson is a disgrace, to be honest. The guy has absolutely no ambition.
Our relationship with Mendes would have been a big factor and will be again if we go for Carvalho.
Carvalho would be fantastic.
So nobody wants Anderson? 
And from what I heard and read Carvalho would be an excellent signing.

Carvalho
Di Maria - Herrera
That would be an immensely good midfield.

If he cannot find a club by the end of the window, we should just let him go.
He is useless even as a squad player for us so whats the point?
Offer Sporting Anderson on loan and perhaps Hernandez on loan - I think @Sly has said they were after a striker and they could do much worse than Hernandez. Then again I'm not sure he'd fancy a move there although they are in CL.
Carvalho is definitely an achieveable signing with the links to Sporting and Mendez, and we could blow whatever wages Wenger would offer out of the water, without even going to ridiculous levels.
If we get Vidal or Carvalho, we'll be laughing. Perfect midfielders either way for our midfield.
This outburst from the press is great news.
United have clearly briefed them and surely it must either be because we truly are close to signing Carvalho or it's to bring the price down of real targets (Vidal.)
I just hope if it's the latter that Vidal is the real target, not Blind.
Thinking about our current squad, I would struggle to choose between buying Vidal and Carvalho. Carvalho/Herrera/Di Maria would be a perfect midfield 3. Vidal instead of Carvalho + our poor back 4 may be too attack minded.

No, they wouldn't know someone else has the story until it broke on his paper's website. And with everyone coming out with it within minutes, but also having it in their morning papers, it's not about copying from one another. They were briefed.
Fair enough. Hope its true....would make for an interesting last few days.
Guys thinking that press talk could force a club into thinking different. They have sources they can call and simply check out what's the real deal behind it, they don't get news from the papers.
Very good talent this guy. We should get him in as well if we can.
We have been linked a fair bit in the past to him.
feck off Ducker. We have Carvalho and Vidal in sights.
from Fletcher Cleverley and Fellaini to this.
They don't need Anderson and I doubt he'd go anywhere else in Portugal aside from Porto anyway. If Carvalho leaves than Slimani will stay I'd imagine so they won't be after a striker either I doubt.
