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.

Kovacic
Situm
There's something in the Kovacic name making him sounds like a real deal.
hope they do better than the Serbian duo
Watching the tube, he does looks abit like dejan savisevic
Is this Tosic and Llajic MKII?
are they any good as modric?
i think this gossip originates from caughtwanking i mean caughtoffside - so the story is probably a big steaming pile of bs
Fanatix was the English source, don't know if it goes further back so it probably is a pile of poo but it is a rumour.
Probably a slow news day! The fact is that scouts continiously monitor and watch lots of players who are on their (geographical) radar.
Tosic and Llajic anyone?
This thread has potential.
We need to buy every young player in the world. Only then will we be better than Barcelona.
It's about time we bought a foreign player with a really cool exotic name, kinda bored with names like Jones...
Precisely. Unknown foreign players, Messi like comparisons, young, gifted and talented and will probably end up at some Italian squad, whilst we are only linked with them to get the clubs/players a better deal, plus Arsenal have supposedly checked them out. It has it all.
City will buy them now
I always sign Kovacic on FM, but he's never come good.
Let it build for a bit then we'll get the they dream of playing for Barcelona line.
Vuc wont be in on this thread!
Kovacic looks an interesting prospect.
You clearly didn't see my above post.
Mateo Kovacic is labelled as Dinamo best youth prospect ever and for a club that produced Robert Prosinecki, Zvonimir Boban, Luka Modric just to name a few that's pretty impressive. He can play all position is midfield although he's best suited as attacking midfielder. He should be next Croatian top player but God knows what future brings and it's up to him to fulfil enormous potential he's been given. So far he broke few records like being youngest debutant and youngest goalscorer in Croatian top division (at the age of 16) as well as being Dinamo youngest captain ever at the age of 17.
Mario Šitum is classic winger forward, with great skills and many tricks to show. He has that positive arrogance on the field and doesn't fear anyone. He also has good eye for a goal and doesn't hesitate from shooting from a distance.
They are nowhere near United quality at the moment, but given the talent they have at least one of them should make it and my money is on Kovacic to do it. His vision and creativity is something that aparts him from the rest of the players his age and has great work ethick should make a great player out of him.

Sjor Bepo just pm'd saying they are good young players but the talent to keep an eye out for is Milan Badelj.
That's racist. They are Serbian.
Badelj is already formed player, also great product of the Dinamo youth set-up. His best position is CM although he plays on the left for Dinamo due to the diamond formation theirs coach prefers. Badelj has glimpses of Zvonimir Boban in his play, has great last pass and technique and he's very creative. Althoug Sammir is considered as best player in Dinamo, Badelj is captain and a man who keeps everything ticking in the right way. He's very good player but non United quality I'm afraid, really like him as a player but he's not the player I could ever imagine playing for United.
It's always you isn't it. Who starts talking bollocks in a Balkan thread.
He doesn't limit his bollocks exclusively to Balkan threads. Unfortunately.
The Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been linked with the highly talented Croatian star Mateo Kovacic, but according to the youngster’s agent Arsenal are facing competition from from Alex Ferguson’s Man Utd team, who are currently bringing lots of talented youngsters from all over the world to Old Trafford.
Kovavic currently plays for Dinamo Zagreb and although only 17 he is a regular starter and is on record as the youngster ever player to captain the Croatian giants. His agent Marcel Kacinari was asked yesterday about reported rumours that Juventus had been sniffing around hoping to do a deal.
“I will not hide the fact there was interest from Juventus a couple of months ago but nothing since then,” Kacinari said. “It is most likely that he will go to England where the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United are leading the race. Dinamo Zagreb have done business in the past with several Premier League teams.”
“Those clubs [Arsenal and Manchester United] are spending a lot of money investing in young talent and have the patience to wait.”
“All the major European clubs are following him and with him playing against Real Madrid on Wednesday, the list of suitors will increase.”

They are first team players there, aren't they? Which means it might take a little fortune to take them off Croats hands seeing as they charged Tottenham £16.5m for Modric. Neither of them will come close to that obviously because they have nowhere near the experience of Modric but they will still want to earn their money on two players they brought up through their own academy.
Some daft references in this thread comparing them to the Serbian kids. Also, trying to windup Serbian posters needs to stop.
City will chuck in a £50 mil double bid in January
I saw Dinamo vs Real, and that 17 year kid was good.
Balls it was Zagreb, I'll have to watch it now, thought it was Kiev for some reason.
Kiev is Dynamo
Yes but i thought it was Kiev playing Madrid not Zagreb. Also a 17 year old playing a good match against Madrid wouldn't have gone unnotieced by Madrid as well.
It's on!
the source at Goal.com can't be wrong - this deal should be sealed soon then......
Not getting my hopes up. I remember the last eastern european duo we signed 
lol, i said "signed"
