In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Yeah jose comes across as a tease.gives us all the hints and clues but stops short of naming the player because its against his morales.it makes great viewing watching him say he doesnt talk about other clubs and their players considering his well known past.Yeahh you can tell Jose is just like the rest of us wants it done and him training with the squad. I enjoyed the bit at the end when he started talking about who we've brought in and said we're going to add a top quality midfielder to the squad

Just as they were 24 hrs ago?
Bet Pogba's lawyers live in Turin.
So it's another 48 hours.....
Just saw this on twitter and made me giggle.
"Just popped to the United megastore and asked if I can get Pogba on the back of my shirt.
They said "No, come back in 48 hours..."

Lads at no point have I gotten wound up or objected to the transfer on the basis of the homegrown element. I was just discussing that aspect today. Strange you both thought I was!
They have a 110 year old called Barry writing up the contracts he's never used a computer before, he keeps forgetting where the keys are. He's typing a 30 page document, bear with him.
The contract will be done within 48 hours, including nap time.

I guess if he's on holiday there was no rush to get them done until he returns. Ergo tomorrow.
It might still be concluded early next week, but if Mou was confident of that, he would say so wouldn't he? If it was only a matter of flying him in and taking pictures, wouldn't the manager say something like "we will try to bring in the player early next week(or next couple of days) so he can at least train for a week before the start of the season."
That is really just so stupid
Manchester United is Manchester United. Regardless of who the manager is.
That's how I see it, though I would argue that Muller, Neymar, Bale - all these players were offered World record bids which were all declined.
Pogba bid seems to have been accepted.
Kroos and Kante but that's out of the question, at United though, Herrera (high pressure) and Schneiderlin (screening back four) but I do think Schneiderlin could be replaced.
Nah we've employed the same person who wrote the Magna Carta
Interesting, I think that's the first time I've heard it reported that Woodward met with Pogba in Miami, when Raiola was visiting.
Now we know who snapped the picture of the Pogs and Raiola laughing in the pool!
Who is Pogba most similar to in the PL from last season? (I haven't seen much of him)
In fairness, no one. He's a pretty unique player.
Ahhhh. Any similar options to him in Europe currently?
First post in the main forum. Haven't posted in a long time. I'm sure this has been said but I haven't heard this rationale much.
While it does sting a little paying mega money for a player we let go for peanuts, when I look at the net spend I feel a little better about the Pogba signing fee. Pogba + Mkhitaryan + Bailly + Ibra = 156 million ish? I see Mkhitaryan as having a much higher value than 26m, And Ibra even at his age would still command a value of say 20+ million if he had been under contract? I'd rather have it this way than throwing around 30mil x 5 on a bunch of punts. I hope it pans out and = trophies.

Been without any connection for 2 days and nothing on return...I've enjoyed this thread. Bit like the original national lampoons vacation. Wally world is open. Will not punch the moose.
Can't think of any players similar to Pogba past and present. He has a few characteristics similar to Vieira but Pogba plays very different in the final third.
No but it's Pog48h!It's not Pogday, is it?
He's sort of a hybrid of Yaya and Viera in their respective primes, except a bit better.
He's hard player to describe or find similar players for. The best I can do is that he's a more nimble, stylish, fleet footed and tricky version of pre-lazyness Toure without being as brutally strong as he was. Like Toure, I'm not convinced Pogba suits a 2 man midfield but rather needs to be given the liscence to roam Lampard style.
I would say Yaya Toure. A physical goal scoring midfielder, especially good from distance. I would say that Pogba has much more flair than Toure though

Yaya Toure with more flair, dribbling ability.
Yaya was more about bursts of power/acceleration but Pogba has the ability to glide past players.

Christ don't let him see that until after he has signed!
So no news then. sigh. Thankfully I've had a really heavy week at work, late night every night, so I've literally only had the chance to check on #PogbaGate news at this time every day. I think I'd have gone insane by now otherwise, so god knows how the rest of you peeps after coping (or not as the case may be!!)
Shit. Not what we want him to see.
No doubt. Who's calling the shot around the club is, however, not the same as who got rid of him.
Christ I can't believe it's that hard to grasp.
It's very easy to grasp. I just don't agree with you're description of two different entities.
He probably wants to catch up on some sleep.
Ha ha, that would be amazing! And maybe that explains the cryptic caption that went with it.
Anyone else see the ITV news at 6 on the Pogba bandwagon? basically just showing Mourinho's press conference but still there presenter is a secret muppet you could see it in his face.
Pogba doesn't have a grudge with United, he had one with Ferguson. Also I think that grudge can be well and truely burried, Pogba was right, he won, we all know that, the world knows that, us paying £100m now shows that United knows it aswell. If Fergie still has a problem with it, then it will be his problem from now on and his alone, not ours anymore.
