Can you imagine if Bellingham joins as our only signing in this window?

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.

Indeed. It's also more-or-less impossible to sign more than three players in any given window, according to our genius CEO.
That would be incredibly stupid and is therefore rather likely.
Surely Birmingham cannot possibly reject such offer if true?
Where were these stories? Pretty sure Maguire and AWB dragged on simultaneously
I'd say a lot of that is add-ons. He'll probably have to win the Balon D'Or, CL, PL and get a knighthood for them to see £30m.
We probably will end up paying £50m on Bruno but this story really won't help their negotiations with Sporting.
It’s fan hysteria. They just assume because we don’t announce players at the same time we aren’t negotiating at the same time. Somehow it’s become a “fact”
One more signing than I was expecting when the window opened. But yeah it would be shambolic and a complete joke, but that's kind of how we seem to operate.
We could sign Fernandes, Soumare, Dembele and Bellingham and it would be an amazing window.
We could sign no one and be a disaster of a window.
We could pull a transfer out of the bag that no one saw coming.
Doing transfer deals is so complex these days, nothing is a sure thing.
We are linked so often with 99% of stories false so its all guess work.

Bore off Gonçalo
Odriozola on loan to Bayern until end of the season.
Have we signed Tevez and Rooney yet
Is it too late for Gaitan and Garay?
He is right, but I would say it is the fees here that are seriously over inflated. It is a bit of a difference paying for a full Portuguese international (European Champions) against a kid who cannot always get in the Newcastle team.
Make a good partnership with Will Fish
It's not like we signed either. Newcastle stated their price, we said no.
'stories' came out. I want Woodward gone as much as anyone, but be careful what you believe from the journos.
It is awkward. What exactly are they expecting to pay? I would love to know.
wrt Longstaff, the leaks from our side early in the summer suggested we wanted to pay 25/30 million. Bruno seems to be 55m. Newcastle wanted 50 and Sporting want 70+ or something. So far we've said no to both.
Should be interesting if we get to a Grealish/Maddison. We could say neither are established internationals to their relative clubs.
He buy Maguire for 80m, yet dont want to pay 50 for Bruno.
Maybe we are going a bit frugal.
To be fair, Maguire was Premier League-tested. Bruno only has a couple of good seasons in a low quality league to his name. Who knows how (or if) he'll adapt to the greater demands of English football.
I would be shocked if Leicester wanted less than 100m. Villa, I'm not sure. If they get relegated, maybe cheaper. Do you know anything about their owners? They spent a lot this year to stay up.
Aston Villa F.C. Aston Villa F.C. It is owned by both Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens who are Egyptian and American businessmen who own NSWE Group, as well as being part owned by Tony Xia a Chinese businessman who also owns a company called Recon Group.
Starts? That's basically what he is.
Remember in the summer, when he gave a rough figure of incomings (what he wanted/expected) and a few days later, he then gave a lower figure?
He is told not to rock the boat if he wants to keep his dream job. He will continue to string the fans along, lower expectations, then defend the board and say they've had his back all along.
The fax machine is being warmed up in preparation of our bid being prepared.
It's crystal clear now. He keeps the job, no matter what, in exchange for public backing of Woodward and Glazers. Great situation really. He won't throw the players or the owners and their nincompoop monkey under the bus. And the fans won't throw him under the bus. How long will this continue?
He has been since last summer mate
Most managers are a mouthpiece for their bosses tbf. Not many like Mourinho around who like to rock the boat. I wouldn't read much into what he says about Woodward and co. It might not be how he really feels.
Chong is moving on.
I think we would pay £50m for Bruno but not 70.
