Dybala at Barca yes. I see Icardi more at Chelsea or Atletico Madrid than Real or even Barca. Just doesnt suit the Catalans on and off the pitch.
Mauro Icardi

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?

No chance at Barca.
Messi is good friends with Maxi, whose ex wife goes out with Icardi. One of the reasons he's not getting picked apparently for Argentina.
Fully agree with the Icardi thoughts. He's a very special forward but I don't think he's got the flair or technical ability to play for such a huge club. He's a great attacker who can spring past anyone, and I mean ANYONE. I think he's the fastest player alive with the ball at his feet. He also takes a lot of responsibility and grows with that task. I'm not surprised at all to see he's the captain of Inter. I don't think there's much he can improve with a move atm. He's better off at Inter tbh. He's got a big head and will probably be a lesser player if he's in England being just one of many stars.
He's developed into a top striker and he's been fairly quiet on the drama front for a while, but this kind of nonsense will have clubs thinking twice about buying him.
I do think he could be an option for us a few years down the line. Will be interesting to see if Martial/Rashford consistently end up leading the line for us by that point or just continue as wide forwards.
Wow, really? I didn't know that. Has your name changed, btw? I feel like the number was different. I could be completely wrong though.
FFS, he played for Palermo at the time and was highly sought after, probably got told to say it by his agent. How does that make him a mercenary? I'm sure anybody with his talent would be aiming beyond playing for a mediocre Serie A side for the rest of their career.
Not only that but Icardi came from the Barca youth set up and he was deemed to be not good enough/not play the Barca way. Of course, in hindsight that was a poor move, purely in terms of the transfer fee they could have potentially gotten if they had sold him after developing him (even via loans).
Wow, thanks for that. Bloody mental, I thought our lot could be daft but that's just crazy!
Tomorrow they will decide if they will strip him of the captaincy

Crazy stuff between him and the ultras. I honestly don't know enough about it to know who's more at fault. What I find most baffling however is, why does a 23 year old have I biography? He was born, stole his best friends wife, scored some goals, the end?
I like reading their stories in bed. Most of them are an easy read and highly entertaining. There're always funny details in it. Only Cantona's (french version) was heavy, imo.Walcott did one at 21
Why would anyone decide to buy that
Don't want this circus at United.
His wife (I think also his agent) is something else. They both keep posting pics with Maxi's 3 sons despite Maxi not liking it, a derby was called "the Wanda derby" because of this chaos and all that.
He is not good enough to warrant that kind of drama here.

Reckon he'd score a shit load for us. Proper centre forward, of which there seems to be less and less coming through. There is no doubt at all about Icardi's 'best position being out wide' or any of that bollocks.
I love Rashford, but I wouldn't turn him down. Reckon he could do Aguero things in the PL with the right club.

Sounds like a piece of shit. Would be a good fit at Liverpool
Reads like Italian football fans being their usual moronic self, in all honesty.
I'd love the little mercenary Argie scumbag to come here, love watching him!
I am not a big fan of the Inter Ultras but they are right on this. Last year Icardi had a spat with them during the Sassuolo game. He went on lying about it on his book + he threatened to bring 100 thugs from Argentina to have them killed
The last thing United needs is even more diva tossers in the dressing room.
How about Diva tossers who score loads of goals?
He didnt even score 20 last year
He scored 16 last year but 22 the year before and this season he has started very well.
well it does not. If you watch the videos of the game there's no child in the Ultras section.
Icardi is not suited to the EPL for what I have been seeing of him here in Italy: he does not work with the team and his attitude is erratic. That said, as a finisher he is clearly talented, a modern and more gifted Inzaghi. Would it be enough?
As far as I know, he is a fairly consistent goalscorer in an Inter side that has been/is quite limited creatively, or doesn't really create consistent goalscoring chances. Would that be an accurate summary of Inter? If true, that sure sounds a little like us...
As for working with the team, I don't think we require a supremely talented number 9, someone with some pace, strength, and goalscoring ability would be fine in a Mourinho type of set-up.
No.
Inter are a bunch of good and very good but inconsistent individuals without the spine to sustain the pressure, Maurito their perfect captain. I can see your point though, just deploy him as a tool and you should be fine.
This Inter makes LVG's United look like Pep's Barca. They're lucky to get 2 chances a game, and most of the time, Icardi has to make something out of nothing. I'd say his tally is impressive considering the circumstances.
With regards to fit, I think he'd be better in Spain or Germany than the PL. Maybe a Lewa replacement if Madrid decides to break another transfer record?
whaat
He had a great game today. His team produced little but he scored 2 jammy goals.. One was a Hart feck up, the other a great pivot and smashing in top corner
I don't know why De Boer doesn't give Gabigol a chance out wide though, his wingers don't produce jack shit.

De Boer is the 2nd coming of van Gaal, he does weird things.
The second goal was a great goal.
Not bad at all.
Only one goal was 'jammy'. The second was class.
He'd be a great addition here, and I reckon someone who will go to war for Mourinho.
Are we interested?
He's a player I'd stay far far away from. Brings too much baggage which I'm not sure his talent compensates for.
Would love us to sign him if he wasn't such a little shithead.
We apparently bid for him in January.
Can't trust the press under Van Gaal's time.
Didn't they say we bid for Ighalo too that same January?
Mourinho was apparently a big fan of him at Chelsea, considering his fall out with the Inter supporters recently a move away wouldn't be a surprise. We definitely need another CF and he seems to fit the bill.
