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?

I think king would fit in as he is a similar style player to what we have so would fit the system. Given the fact that Pukki is 30 will also go against him- he just doesn't fit the profile of player OGS will be after. And because we have Ighalo I don't see the point in having another striker who will hardly play, ighalo showed enough in his few games to see that he offers something more physical and can score a few goals.
I can make a list of Mbappe, Neymar, Sancho, Koulibaly and Alaba. They would strengthen the squad and probably make us win the CL as well. However we're not going to get them aren't we? There's no point keeping on mentioning Sancho unless the club is willing to spend some serious money. In that case then we're better off finding talent we can afford that will improve the squad. I mean look at our second string, FFS they can't even beat Aston Villa.
Any updates?
Happy Sunday!
barca saying they want salah? Could they sell and buy Sancho? That would be hilarious wouldn’t it
The absolute meltdown if we missed out on Sancho and signed Pukki and Brooks
It was a friendly which was mainly to get players who hadn't played in the international games some fitness.
Do you have a fit when we don't win pre-season games?
Why? Our attack has been our weakness over the years not our defence. This CB narrative is a bit over played.
While people worried about the corrosive infiltration of the masons at every level of society, they forgot to keep an eye on the good folks at RedCafe. An ear in every boardroom and with more links to deepthroats than @rimaldo’s hard drive.
I don't even remember what a RW looks like anymore.
Even his cat wouldn't recognize him anymore.
With imagination like Japanese hentai, on how the negotiation happened.
Today big day
We had one of the best defences in the league last season. And I think the #1 defence post-lockdown wasn’t it? Yet people think our entire back four needs replacing.
The username gave your intention away.
You wumming or serious ?
Are you serious? Did you watch our games last season when we had to rely on our reserves? They were hopeless. Therefore if we can't get Sancho then let's at least spend the money on reserves. Telles would provide us with a proper LB whenever Shaw gets injured. That means Williams would move to RB thus allowing us to sell Dalot. Pukki would provide us with good cover/competition for Martial. It would mean that we can play Greenwood as RW were he did so well for us. Brooks on the other hand is a young and promising RW which would allow us to rest Greenwood every now and then. Lingard is shit and Mata is finished as a player. Torres on the other hand is a decent left footed CB who would compliment Maguire. Telles (22m), Brooks (30m), Pau Torres (44m) and Pukki (20m) would pave the clean up we need which would see Dalot, Periera, Lingard, Mata, Smalling, Jones and possibly Rojo. That would drive the expenses down.
So how did he get on against Villa?
5 or 7pm announcement?
Is this another one of those thread ban promises?
A lot of that is down to Raiola tbh, he was the one insisting on the release clause for whatever club came in for him because he knows that there will be a big move coming up generating big money for him.
its not sarcasm its me being realistic. I'd love to see Sancho at Man United. In my opinion, at 120m, he's still a steal. We're talking here about a 20 year old something top top player, who can play at RW, LW and AMC. It would also mean having England's future forward line in our hands (Greenwood, Sancho and Rashford) on top of marketable players such as Bruno, Pogba and Martial. United's money machine will turn this into a gold mine that would pay itself in a matter of a year or two.
However I am not a Glazer. If the club doesn't want to spend that amount of money then there's little I or you can do about it. In such circumstances I'd rather see us adding 4 players who would strengthen our horrific strength in depth rather then just sit around moaning that Dortmund are being mean with us for not agreeing to sell Sancho on our terms.
So over 110m for 1 starting player -Torres ?
I am simply repeating something I have been told.
I don’t think I’ve said anything outrageous.
An announcement today isn't outrageous?
We have 6 recognized centre backs and no proper right wingers so what do you think?
Do you seriously think the names you mentioned are better the players we have at United playing second fiddle? They stood out occasionally playing for inferior teams.
Lingard, Pereira, Jones (when fit) Mata, James, Rojo, are full internationals. They might not be what you'd expect with clubs of United's ambitions. However, to compare them to the players you mentioned is a massive stretch. I am positive they would outshine Brooks, and Pukki if they played for similar teams.
Actually its two (Telles/Regulon and Torres) as Shaw is always injured. It would also mean allowing us to get rid of the deadwood (Smalling, Jones, Mata, Periera, Rojo and co) while giving Ole the option to rest players.
Dortmund playing today, bro? If so, would that be the announcement prior to kick-off?
Tomorrow
I am pretty confident they are.
A- Pukki's record in the EPL is quite good and far better then Ighalo's or King's
B- Brooks had done very well in his first year with Bournemouth. He's a young lad who can move as AMC as well
C- Telles doesn't break in pieces like Shaw does on a consistent basis while Torres is a left sided CB whose better to Lindelof.
D- Torres is certainly better then Rojo and Jones.
On top of that their fees aren't high, they shouldn't be asking for silly salaries and most of those players are young. That means that if they fail to make an impact we should be able to recoup most of the money back. Not to forget that we would send the message that the time for complacency is over. A meme like Jones won't be able to steal a living anymore. That alone is worth it.
You ask that question on this thread?
I’ve just repeated what I was told.
For what its worth I agree with you.
I think Sancho is a luxury buy because I do believe we have world class front 3 but we are pretty weak elsewhere. Getting a new FB would go a long way. Getting a better CB would go a long way. Then you add two good attacking players off the bench? What a great team that would be.
This thread needs to burn
