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.

Nah, that’s his business model. He does it well.
I agree fully with your last paragraph.
I think we only differ on whether other clubs would take our deadwood. Fred and McTominay are not as bad players as we think they are, but that’s a bias we all have with our players. If they’re not United quality we think they’re shite and should be playing in Championship.
McTominay would be a very good signing for many PL clubs and at 30m + 100k I reckon this is very good value for money. Fred is a bit older so I reckon he’ll go for a last big paycheck and might be more difficult to move.
Maguire clearly has confidence issues at United which will be very hard to recover from, but he’s still a very good defender and would be an immediate starter for West Ham I reckon (Paqueta is their top earner if I’m not mistaken).
However the other players we’re trying to sell are not on very high wages comparatively to the rest of the PL and fees wouldn’t probably cost that much.
The only one I see as potentially problematic would be Henderson, and we’ll probably need to lower his sale value or he’ll need to
Why? He occasionally writes articles for the Guardian (usually with another journalist) but Twitter is his primary form of medium. Youtube and the odd article are secondary for him.
Because when more than half the posts are non updates, you just come across like a tit.
Right just like Goldbridge has a successful business model. I'm not looking it from that side of view though. Like Goldbridge, he just comes across a tit.
He has very strong sources obviously but he just comes across a bit pointless a lot of the time.
Or more simply. He gets bombarded (& it’s echoed by the lack of patience on here) every day for updates and when it’s very little updates or updates are are non-updates people get pissed off because there’s no new information from the day before.
He simply has to tweet a lot so people get off his back, if he could. I assume he’d tweet considerably less, but the nature of the beast he’s grown, he needs to.
All journalists get bombarded. It's not that he's obligated to answer them, he's doing it purposefully as part of his business model as a journalist.
Hes free to do it, he has solid sources of course. But a lot of people are increasingly getting pissed off that he said a lot of nonsense.
This tour deadline is so weird to me. They are making it out as if he can’t get on a separate plane and join up with the rest of the squad a day later.
It's probably due to money/flight costs He needs to be on that plane otherwise his only option is being a stow away on a boat and then driving/hitchhiking to new jersey.
Quantity over quality business model works great all over social media sites, but I just feel there should be a consequence for it somehow. Like everytime someone uses quantity over quality technique, their genitals get shocked.
Poor guy! No wonder they want to get it done in time!

Final check on payment terms
West Ham can feck off with their loan bs. Show us the money.
The usual Maguire playing through injury stories it's been awhile. It's not big and it's not clever.
it's been awhile. It's not big and it's not clever.I’m sure he must’ve sustained a broken rib or two when he was charged with aggravated assault in Greece and then trying to bribe his way out of it.The usual Maguire playing through injury stories
That's a suprise I always thought he was playing with broken legs.
West Ham would be better suited to being in Serie A. Sell someone for £100 million and then ask to loan a player
Captaincy should have been taken off him already. Hopefully it’s sorted next week. He can’t be coming on for pre season minutes and taking the armband.
They must be joking. Minimum £35m.
They're that fecking annoying club in FM that comes with this offer for your starting XI player:
- promised playing time: rotational
- % of wage: 10%
- optional future fee: £250.000
The demand is there though, so people will always take advantage of other people's insatiable desire for 'news'.
If people are going to act like idiots and refresh twitter every 20 minutes on a Sunday, hoping that execs around Europe are blasting out transfer deals rather than being normal people, then others are going to make money from it.
Idiots have made those who are willing to take advantage of stupidity rich for centuries. This is nothing new.
Wow that would be something. My dream singing for years. Doubt it will happen though.
Eh? That's a bit out of the blue isn't it?
According to a report by Spanish outlet Nacional.

The club on the other hand........
Also while I wouldnt expect West Ham to be spending half the Rice money on Maguire, a loan option is taking the piss.
31. Best years behind him. Exactly the kind of signings we should be avoiding.
Our annual signing from Real Madrid. Varane, Casemiro and now Alaba?
FFS. This guy won't quit.Time to move to the nuclear option. Promote a promising CB from the academy and make that graduate the 5th choice. Surely he'd get fed up and move then.
Weirdo.
Can deputise for Casemiro at CDM
How can you fault one of our players for loving the club?
I was thinking the same thing
Wish there was one eligible enough, I don't think we have that.
Why does he love it? Shouldn't a footballer want to play? Want to make the Euros for next summer?
It's about roles in my opinion. If it's a squad player in Maguire's position and you're happy in that role, it makes sense. If you're 30, captain of the club and barely play, should you be happy?
This isn't an MEN report. Best to avoid posting tweets from that account as a lot of it is clickbait and sourcing from unreliable outlets.
