I thought Ole would rather have holes in the squad.

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?

Don’t you think that anymore?
A mere loan of just 2/3m with just a season`s wages off their books doesn`t help them to such a HUUUUUUGE extent and I doubt they`re that desperate to get rid of him like with Suarez like you said he`s still young and talented it would take a lot more than an ordinary season long loan to convince them to sell especially since Koeman publicly said he`s in his plans
If he’s unprofessional and turns out to be disruptive then cancel his loan. Simple
Don't think we can terminate abruptly just like that if all parties agree the loan is for a season
Barcelona need to raise €100m before window closes. Been mentioned by multiple journalists. The only way Dembele gets loaned out (bear in mind he doesn't want to leave) is if the loaning club have an obligation to buy at €100mil. That way Barcelona can add that €100mil to the books and resolve that financial issue.
No way Utd gonna agree to that and Dembele doesnt want to leave. We dont want another Di Maria situation on our hands. So i dont think this will happen.

I would say so.
He has also talked about wage structure so I do not see how Cavani would fit into that either.
I really do not believe any of this garbage until deals are done anyway as everyone has their own interests and a lot of those involve dragging our name into the conversation but surely our fans should be aware of this.
People are talking about DVB signing was panic buy. Well, it wasn't because we need him and he meets the criteria but this one is what I call panic buy.
Yes we need a winger but we are so in panic mode that we are considering a player who has poor attitude, late in training due to playing games, bad injury record and likely might not commit for us as his dream to play for Barcelona and now that dream club of his want to get rid of him. If he's not motivated enough playing for his dream club, imagine how motivated he is playing for us. The board probably think Dembele's talent & quality can satisfy the fan's disappointment of Sancho. But this could end up with Di Maria or Sanchez all over again where big name player isn't motivated to play for us.
The positive thing is that at least we only want this deal to be a loan deal means there is less risk and worth a gamble if we are looking for to improve our depth squad.

One report saying he’d cost £55m. Can’t see Barca taking that big a loss on him.
His contract runs out in 2022, think this is their last chance to get a decent price for him.
They need the £££ to buy Memphis.
Would we get any money from the Memphis to Barca deal?
Exactly this...^^
He was out with 4 injuries last season and 3 injuries the season before.
We shouldn't touch him with a barge pole and I pray that United are not dumb enough to be tempted....
Welcome to the world of Ed Woodward
The man who makes brilliant footballing decisions all of the time

Dembele + sancho + striker
442 is back

An obligation that's triggered by 40 plus appearances is the only reasonable loan option. Barcelona will want a guarantee and we will not want to spend so much on a crock.
More like 424Dembele + sancho + striker

Why do we still have people going on about his attitude/ profesionalism then in the same breath mention getting Sancho? Both have been late for training, Sancho was benched/left out the team due to perceived lack of professionalism.
The thing with Dembele is when he’s fit and inform arguably he’s just as good as Sancho which makes him the only real viable replacement.
Its a massive risk if any of it is true given his injury record, but 55mil is quite tempting considering if he comes good he’s an easy 100mil player. A loan however would be a much better and safer option if it’s true we are interested.
Sancho and Dembele is An absolute pipe dream. No way I can see that happening.

If being late in training is the only thing about attitude im sure it's nothing but is it the only thing though? The guy is 23 already not 20 or 19 or 18.
Don’t spoil the dream just yet
Sky sports now "breaking" the news that we're in for Dembele on a loan
No thanks, injury prone and seems like he'd sulk when he's benched for being no good
Would be a fantastic signing under those terms.
We have walked away from Sancho haven't we!
If we do get Dembele on loan, there’s absolutely no way he’d sign permanently. After seeing how our club is run, he’ll be heading straight back to Barca!
My expectations for him would be so ridiculously low they'd be dragging along the ocean floor. I just don't have a good feeling about signing him.
There's a hole and then there's no players at the club that can actually play in that position.
Surely this is a joke?
Nah, he'll see that he can have the time of his life over here, get injured all the time and keep getting rewarded with improved contracts. He'd love it here.
His career trajectory could easily turn out like Robben. Robben was also injury prone and raw talent but then he had breakout season at Bayern. But I am still not sure whether it will be smart to sign him on permanent basis. Loan would be fine.
7 injuries since the beginning of 2019, and all seem to be either hamstring or torn muscle....too much of a risk if you ask me, red flags waving wildly.
Agree.
You lot don't deserve nice things
Loan with obligation to buy at a reasonable price if he plays 25 times or more maybe?
Robben was always a consummate professional though. Dembele is a far cry from that.
let's stay far, far away please.

I'm being flippant definitely, but its decisions like those that are actually preventing us from doing better this window. No?
I'm guessing Dembele is our Plan B should the Sancho bid fail. It makes sense to have an alternative and to apply some pressure to Dortmund. Wouldn't be surprised if Dembele passes on us and we move to Plan C
Yes I would prefer Sancho out of the two,however if it was a loan deal don't see the harm and not going to just write him off
What isit with the consensus that we will sign both Dembele and Sancho, I thought Dembele is the alternative ?
I know you weren't being serious and I agree to an extent.
