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.

When did Tony Freixa even say that? Dam work is really in the way of muppetry.
I was about to say how excited I am by this news but then I realised that I've been in a perpetual state of excitement over this for 6 weeks. If we sign him after the climax the come down is going to be horrendous.
I don't know what to believe anymore. Guardiola could be in Manchester talking with Moyes for Thiago transfer, or could be in Liverpool for Suarez, or coul be entirely in Spain. Today's journos are not believable.
Im surprised nobody (journos) have linked vidic with a swap deal....if they need a CB
Probably because he doesn't really fit the bill of a Barca centre-back. He's too good at defending and isn't particularly good on the ball.
F.A. and Sky editor claims it can happen even today.
Hopefully but a lot of people claimed it that it could have happen for each day after the end of U21 cup. I still think that it will happen but I am taking with a bit of slat the speculation that it will happen today. Hopefully I am wrong.
That's fully understandable, but it's not much of a big difference if it will happen today or tomorrow or even on Friday, as United will probably give the guy few days off to accommodate which De Gea helped here already a great deal.
The player stays quiet, his agent looks busy and people who are tied to more serious networks like ESPN or Sky are giving green light to this.
If player or his agent say that he's not coming to United, then only then it will mean something else.
Wilfred Bony to Swansea for 14ME.
Where are they getting so much money from?

Probably got about £90 mil from promotion, which they have barely spent. Two mid table finishes, Europa league group stage qualification and then the new bumper TV deal everyone is benefiting from.

They made some fantastic sales last summer and didn't spend much. With the new tv deal in place it's no surprise they can afford it.
Nice one Swansea. Id love to see clubs like them and Southampton really go for it and try to make their mark
So Everton have signed Kone and Alcaraz and are apparently on the verge of singing Joel Robles and Victor Moses. Everton are being Wiganified.
KENWRIGHT: "Look, Robert-"
MARTINEZ: "It's Roberto."
KENWRIGHT: "Look Mr O - we splashed out last season, so this year your budget is 25p, ok?"

I think Kone and Alcaraz are pretty solid signings by Martinez. Alcaraz is pretty good at reading the game and he's a free transfer plus I think Kone will prove to be a solid striker with better players around him. Moses joining from Chelsea would probably make sense for all parties.
Agreed. I rate Kone, and anything that means they don't have to play Anichebe ever again is surely a good move. Martinez is in a nice position, in a way, in that as their former manager he has dibs on Wigan's players in the standard relegation sell-off. Usually managers who get clubs relegated don't get to move to an even better PL club, so it's somewhat of an unusual situation.
Surely he would only have to be there in person if there were signatures to make? Suarez isn't that close to a move is he?
As I said, and also from the tweet posted above this, it could easily be that Guardiola is on north England because of Suarez. Probably is for Thiago, but I am not believing a word anymore from media.
Times are reporting that Mark Schwarzer has signed for Chelsea.
If this is true..... 
Yeah, it's on Chelsea's website: http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3233254/title/chelsea-sign-mark-schwarzer
Wonder if this means the end of their attempts to sign Ruddy? Probably not.
Ah, the Carlo Cudcini school of retirement. Nice.
To be fair, Schwarzer has earned it, very consistent.

Makes sense since they got rid of Turnbull.

awesomewould have thought Schwarzer would have wanted to finish up playing in the first team for someone
I never stood why they werent after Ruddy. Such a waste for both sides.
Yes, a newbie named shabadu84, mate.
Outstanding. I hope he got a bunch of likes.

Give him a Virtual High Five from me, Steve. Actually, I'll do it;
That's great. Well done shabadu84He might want to start by going after their actual best players like McCarthy and McManaman. I do think Kone will be good for 15-20 goals there.
I'm sure he'd love to get them too, but there's Everton's oh-so-tight pursestrings to think about. Given the sort of clubs supposedly watching McCarthy, he might be priced out of a move. And he needs to be disciplined and stick to what Everton really need - a reliable, effective striker was a clear priority.
The only way I'd be happy with that deal is if it were to be a part of a mega deal we're negotiating for Bale.
Can't ever see that happening. 1) We would be unwilling to sell to them 2) Nani won't want to play for less wages 3) Spurs would be a step down, moving from United to Spurs makes no sense 4) Nani might want a new country rather than to stay in the same league.
Never happening imo.
