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.
You must be joking.

we conceded goals when we had Keane in his pomp you know, or maybe you don't remember because you were 6 at the time, if after half a season you can only pick out 2 mistakes then I think you've just proved the point that he's doing really well.
Mirror reckon a move to United is on the cards for Xavi ... in exchange for Ron
Thankfully bollocks, though Xavi is handy

xavi + 30 million and we'll think about it.
What if they offered Xavi + Messi? lol We'd have to consider it. Personally, though, I would still say no. I know that is probably stupid, but whatever I love Ronnie.
How do they come up with this shit. A player that describes himself as a one team man and another probably worth around 70 mil. You can't write better gossip though, I'll give them that.

I'd take Xavi and up until the summer I'd probaby have gone along with the swap, but all of a sudden, despite probable Remy protests, Ronnie has changed potential talent into almost the finished article(which we all except Remy knew he would eventually). We now, again have players all over the pitch that can change a game single handedly.
Strange that when it gets mentioned that we maybe interested in one of Barca's top players of the futere, that within a couple of days later Surprise Surprise Barca are interested in Ronaldo (Tit for Tat) I'm sure its the English press playing games with the Spanish press to see who can print the best load of bollocks and visa versa.
light, 27 years old, could make it, but a risk
Barca can't afford Ronaldo. We can afford Xavi...
what make you say thatRed Indian Chief Torn Rubber said:
Barcelona would and have never spent 30 million pounds on a player. Besides they can't afford to. We on the other hand can and have in the pastMarliMan said:
That a stupid swap deal for us, Xavi is a similar player to Scholes, Not what we need, we need a tough-tacklng ball-winner.
How do you work out that we can afford Xavi? How much do you think he'd go for?Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber said:
If Carrick was 14-18, then Xavi has to be 20+
You've answered yourself. If we could spend that much on Carrick. We can easily spend 25million on Xavi. Barca don't spend in our fashion at all...Cornell said:
But we spent that much because we desperately needed a midfielder and Fergie had his heart set on Carrick, who Spurs didn't want to sell.Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber said:
Whether Malcolm will shell out another inflated price is yet to be seen.
1. The situation hasn't changed. We still desparately need more midfielders.Cornell said:
2. Stay tuned to the Hargreves story. We will pay way more than he is worth guranteed.
Thus says the chief
I don't think i'd swap Ronaldo for any player in the world at the moment.
Over SAF's dead body as he's invested more time in this kid than anyone i can remember and now that MU are seeing the benefits it will never happen. As it stands we have 2 of the most exciting young players in world european football, Messi & Fabs being the others. All we need to do is add a few players and we will be contenders for all the honors for a good few years.
Just buy the fecker
My god. Some of you saying you'd prefer Carrick over Xavi.
fecking hell.
Do you even watch football?
If Carrick + Xavi doesn't work out, I'd send Carrick to the reserves and play someone else alongside Xavi. Xavi is absolutely fecking ace.

Before you abuse anyone mate. In our current squad, if we bought Xavi no, who would you play in the two center midfield slots between Scholes, Carrick and Xavi? Remember Xavi can't tackle for his supper and we won't use 4-3-3?zing said:

Xavi has played alongside Edmilson and Motta, players who are not as good as Carrick imo. so why wouldn't it work out?
We've been linked to Xavi in the past, a few years ago i think, the same summer we got Ronaldo. Might be something real in fergie's interest, although i doubt they'd sell him to us.
Edmilson and Motta have better defensive bite than Carrick. But if Scholes can survive alongside Carrick so can Xavi. In short I agree with you.marcus agrippa said:
Why can't it work Zing?
Thiago Motta and Edmilson are fecking average players.
Duh! No one said they are not average. They just have more bite in their tackles than Carrick. Hence offer better protection to Barca's mostly shit defence.Sarni said:
I'd even say they are a bit shite despite playing for Barcelona.
I think they will if we are really interested. Especially since Giovanne Do Santos seems a real talent and Iniesta has been fantastic this season. I doubt Xavi would enjoy benching for Iniesta.kanchelskis14 said:
All average players are abit shit mateSarni said:
Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber said:
Giovanni Dos Santos has nothing to do with Xavi, he's a forward.
You are wrong. Giovanne Do Santos is an attacking midfielder who is very comfortable as a forward ala Ronaldinho or Scholes. He was the attacking midfield general of the first Mexican side to win a world cup at youth level.kanchelskis14 said:
yep - he'll leave the euro champs in beautiful barca to join UNITED - any of you muppets ever been to manchester?
Instant Karma said:So we buy Carrick who is marginally better than Fletcher and are interested in Xavi who is a slight upgrade over Carrick
You find something to critisise about everything. Did you watch Carrick at OT yesterday? He was fantastic.
Xavi is a world class player. He isn't just some "slight upgrade" over anyone. Not as if Barca would let go of him. Only reason they'd let go of him is because of Iniesta.
Tell us first if you have ever discovered concrete evidence you have a brain?mu77 said:

Brilliant passer too.
some bollocks going around rawk that city are going to bid silly money for xavi and it's one of the players 'arry meant when he said city have 2 players that will 'blow your mind'.
There was a rumor last week that Barca are going to sell Xavi to City and make room for Fabregas.
Would be Eto'o/Ibra markII
If they sign Xavi I can only say one thing.
God help us all.
God help us all.
Xavi will not be sold. He makes them tick. Not a fecking chance he'd be sold to make way for Cesc.
Xavi is the type of player that can play well into his 30s. He is a symbol of Barca. They'll keep him till he retires.
