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?

So it’s essentially the exact same pursuit as in the summer.
Your guess is as good as mine, most of which are unprintable.
But a FIRM one
BrONo FernONdes
Let’s hope it isn’t Bru NO

No, we're actually in negotiations this time. The summer pursuit was all media created
Doubt it was ALL media created
Considering that Matt Judge's negotiation skills are about as refined as Floyd Mayweather's reading skills, at best this is getting done on Jan 31st.
Sporting never came to England and Ole never went to Portugal to watch him, so there is that.
Are we flight tracking yet or we not at that point?
We will know in the next couple of days. Bruno himself wants deal done quickly according to Daily Mirror. Think myself it could be Rojo's wages is the hold up.
Well if anyones going to know how Bruno feels it's...the Daily Mirror.
I've been critical of the player but its a big thing if he's desperate to play for United. I think Eriksen's ambivalence to a transfer here is a big reason for us not going for him.
I should have perhaps elaborated. We never got as far as negotiating for the player is more accurate.
Eriksen has ideas above his station. If his Spurs performances were that brilliant this season then Europe’s top clubs would be all over him.
We’ve already “gone for him” but he’s told us he wants to move abroad. He made that clear in the summer. glad we moved on.
What's your source for that though?
It's hard to get a definitive figure on player wages.
I've seen that Lingard's on anywhere between 50-100k across various websites.
Have anyone actually watched him play? Is he any good?
Yeah, it's like the season we finished second under Jose.With tha kinda margin I wouldn't even call myself second
No one's Spurs performances have been all that this year and he clearly wants out so the motivation is gone.
If he's going to Inter he'll do well there.
It's much preferable to Spurs at the moment, a decent shout at silverware, they're challenging for the league and they'll be in the CL again next season.
In the recent past we would have thrown big money at him until he said yes is what I was getting at.
Exactly, nothing to boast about.
Perhaps. He's still class but we need players who have their hearts and minds into it, not just here for a pay day.
If Fernandes WANTS to play here then it'll give us much more than a half assed Eriksen.
He seems happy to go to Inter. Its not an idea above your station to want to play in a new league
We're making a bid out of clay. It's in Woody's kiln as we speak.
He supposedly wanted to go to Real, looks like that has passed him by and he has had to lower his ambitions to get away.
Well, if he's indeed a part of the equation - then, yes, you'd think wages would be a bit of a problem. He supposedly makes somewhere in the 80-90k p/w region at United. I imagine that would make him their best paid player by some distance - which isn't entirely unproblematic.
Everyone and their dog apparently.
Don't you know that the Cafe is a world renowned scouting network?
I'm starting to think we might actually get this one over the line....I'm setting myself up for crushing disappointment again aren't I?
The impression I got whenever I've seen him is of someone who wouldn't really suit the premier league and not exactly what we need... though that's only been a few games and then the standard few videos. Hope I'm wrong! Though at this point any midfielder would be an upgrade.
If we sign him at least we'll never have to read about him coming to Utd again even if he does flop, every cloud.
Everyone seems to be going there for playing time. He has this idea he’s good enough for RM
Then we might have to pay a big slice of his wages to get this deal done. What do you think.
With Eriksen it seems he was holding out for the big two in Spain but failing that he simply wants to change country/league with a decent pay day. Inter look to be going places too but a lot can happen yet.
