He's god tier source for Barca news. He broke Neymar transfer and announced Messi would leave 10 days ago. He's as reliable as it gets.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Marcelo Bechler has close ties to Messi's camp. He's been the first to report any new developments to Messi's situation.
That's really not good for your health.
Yeah I kinda agree with you. I think he may want to go to a club rich in history.
Also - PSG is unlikely because Neymar left to be out of Messi’s shadow and be the star player. He already has Mbappe to deal with. He probably won’t want Messi there as well. I am not too educated when it comes to FFP but I also think PSG may risk facing punishment from FFP as well because acquiring and paying Messi may be too costly for them. At the same time, will Messi really even want to play in a ‘farmers league’?
As for City, while there is the possibility for Messi to link up with Pep, they’re already well stacked in the attacking department. They’d risk upsetting the dressing room and they’d probably have to get rid of a couple players just to accommodate him.
But if City do somehow buy him I truly hope Ed realizes acquiring Sancho is a MUST.
While your prediction does sound realistic, I just don’t think Barca can afford to keep him and Suarez and also fix the team and rebuild a competitive squad.
They’re severely short of funds and in deep financial trouble.
Getting rid of Messi (perhaps not for free but a fee similar to Ronaldo’s) & Suarez will resolve their financial problems more than getting rid of others could (Coutinho, Griezzman etc).
Unless we sign at least Sancho I am finding it very hard to feel any passion for this club next season
Yeah me too. Ed and Judge are two donkeys. They should be hounded out of the club
Not trying to shame you or anything, but is that really the truth? Are the signings the deciding factor that determines your enjoyment level following the club? Even when i get angry about the loss i still feel excited about the next game.
How this club is in dire need of new ownership who would demand a DOF gets appointed immediately
Seeing your rivals signing players left right and seeing the moronic board jerking off somewhere is truly disheartening. We finally got a good core since SAF retirement and what does Ed do ? Signing some random english bloke for 40m. I think I cannot take it anymore
Those Yankee leeches have driven me to this,just got no hope of things getting better while they continue to crawl around the club. I cannot handle seeing the best player in the world join our rivals whilst we do nothing either.
Nah, people said that about Pep as well. At the end of the day, the likes of Messi and Ronaldo at their age will move to clubs where they feel they can challenge for all the honors. So that only leaves City and PSG, and City have a manager he has worked with which is a very important consideration. Out of the "tranditional" big clubs, Inter and United aren't really ready to challenge as soon as he would need, Bayern dont need him.
Tbf I would take anyone (even Arab overlords) than this Yankee doodle shite. How low we have gone.
Singings will come but you gotta understand that we set ourselves for a fall when we grossly overpaid for Maguire and AWB last summer. Now everyone wants to skin us alive. Besides for example Liverpoo seem equally as unable to make signings so far.
Chelsea had a lot of cash to burn with the suspension they were under, whilst City only signed 2 players for €70m ish. Difference being that we're looking at big name signings.
Mate the sooner you make peace with the fact that unless someone manages to magically coordinate every UTD fan on the globe into not buying club stuff hence making Glazers lose money, things will remai the same. Our club is being run as business and the owners are not the fans of the club.
Chelsea has a tycoon who's in love with the club, whilst City has a backing of the state, it's their PR project.
So you would see us betray our tradition, sell our soul and principles, something that sets us apart from our rivals, just for few star signings per year?
No amount of transfer money and shiny signings is worth becoming a toy club for one of the worst regimes in the world.
Its not like the yankees are inline with our “tradition, soul and principles.” They are leeches, here to suck United dry
Yeah unfortunately you are right about the happy clapping day trippers not willing to stop buying merchandise for the good of this club
The unfortunate reality is what other kind of ownership is out there with the kind of money to buy the club
Back to Transfer Tweets:
It seems like the Liverpool links from Germany are probably due to Thiago's apparent desire to join them. There's nothing reliable from English journalists about Liverpool chasing Thiago other than them not willing to spend 30 million Euros on him.

Feck me this window just gets worse
Messi going City, Thiago going Pool, Chelski buying very second footballer out there. But what really happened the last time we faced Leeds?
Fickleness needs hounding out.
Transfer offensive
It's literally 'give us the monies and you can have him'. It's been made clear that the club won't put any obstacles in Thiago's way.
For sure. My guess is that Liverpool will only pay the desired amount if they sell another midfielder. Wijnaldum's future is still up in the air, so if they let him go, then I can see Liverpool going after Thiago.Transfer offensive

Great post. Unfortunately many on here wouldn't understand what you're saying even if they could be bothered to read it.
Great Post. Agree with every word of this
Cheers mate!
So Messi going to City, Chelsea signing a brand new team, Thiago to the bin dippers and Spurs/Arsenal set to have decent windows?? Supporting Man Utd next season is going to be a monumentally difficult task for any normal supporter that isn`t comfortable seeing the club fall behind. Anything below 3 signings and we are in for a VERY rough few years ahead sad times
transfer window ends Oct 5th. Chill. None of us have any clue what’s going on...

Sounding like summer 2018... the season starts September 19th for us
That’s just speculation. Lots of teams have had good seasons when on paper they did less business than others. We’ve only had Bruno for a few months and our forward line is young. We can improve without signing anyone just by playing together more.
it’s frustrating for sure.. and pretty painful, but try not to panic, there is still time.
I do wish we were more clinical though. How Chelsea have gone about their business has been excellent.
So, thats another regular that Valencia sells and not replaced with a purchase. Are they bankrupt? Or they just trust their youth?
No panic.
Its a reasonable assumption to make that considering what the club has said about financial impact of covid and our previous windows when we finish in the top 4. Not to expect much from this window.
Yeah they're skint, coudn't afford to pay their players a couple of weeks ago, don't know if they've been paid now.

The up coming season is going to be tuff, after our first team the second string as rubbish.
While I agree the first string will be stronger the depth is what gets teams to the finals.
I think Woody is playing poker, while our rivals are playing Chequers(Draughts) I hope his gamble pays off, because our season is in the pot.
I disagree. If we sign no one its 4th at best without a trophy. Most of those players are not good enough. We literally have no squad depth. Need 4 signings at the very least.
Reliance on individual brilliance can only take you too far if you don`t have good depth as a support system or the right tactics. Our key players can`t play week in week out without the inevitable dip in form or fatigue/injuries and as you said our forward line is young which also means inconsistent wishful thinking if you think they will turn into Mane/Salah/Firmino overnight not counting in Ole is nowhere close to the likes of Klopp/Pep. We had this very same tone in 2018 and we went from 2nd to 6th everything currently points to us heading the same way.
