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?

What negotiating team? We start with market value, selling team say some ridiculous fee (because why not) and we end up paying few million bellow that.
And then next year fans are in shock; "Ffp problems? How? We have only 50 mil to spend? How? We can't sell players? How".
And i see that people here can't separate apples and oranges.
Hojlund can be a good signing and it is good that we bought him. Nobody is denying that. That is one topic.
But spending 10 or 20 mil more than something is worth is another topic. Tjat is just bad business. We keep overpaying players.
Curious to see what his salary will be. Should be about 100k max but knowing this club it's probably more.
According to Jamie Jackson, Atalanta wanted an initial £77M fee.
And Antony and Sancho
This club can’t win with some of you, it’s exhausting. Always want the opposite to what’s happening in reality.
Can't wait to see RAWK's take on Hojlund signing with us.
And Antony and Sancho
The fee is probably £58-64m add ons don’t count because if we win a CL or a PL snd he scores a hatful of goals the prize money will pay for that so my take is ignore the Sky Transfer BS and United have Spent ;
£55m on M Mount, £43m on A Onana and probably £62m on R Hojlund so £160m maybe £164m at a max minus the £24m from player sales so far we are net £140m and probably have £30m left for S Amrabat?

Clearly it’s a massive gamble at that price. I know we’re desperate for a striker, but I’m surprised the club took such a big risk.
£60m for him is NOT that bad of a deal for a kid his age with his potential...we overpaid by what 5-6m but given our desperate need for a striker and this is a guy that Erik wanted, worth the price. We are backing the gaffer and that is what we all want. Let them spend the money, better than it going in the pockets of the glazers.
that said...anyone saying it's close to Kane money is having a fuking laugh. Kane would have been over £100m without question bc of being a rival prem club PLUS his massive wages.

Did we even negotiate? We got fecking rinsed here.
Its obvious EtH must've demanded a striker asap otherwise I'm sure we could have drove that price down with time.
At the wnd of the day I'm happy we're getting a striker but the reputation on serial overpayers will never leave.

No it wasn't aimed at you, you were mostly pointing out the obvious conclusions that will be drawn, I was more taking a swipe at our fanbase in general at the moment.
People seem to think we'll be successful again when so many United fans join in with hate towards players like Antony and Sancho. It's probably hard enough as it is to create a siege mentality within a team in the age of social media, even SAF would have struggled and he was a genius at it! I find it really sad sometimes, makes supporting a football team seem like a very miserable thing to do.
I do disagree with your point about getting the finished article for £64m though. It just doesn't work that way anymore. Once the oil money came in the market went haywire and never really recovered. You can occasionally pick up good deals through release clauses or expiring contracts, but that's quite rare. You've got Saudi clubs bidding £250m+ for M'bappe, a fantastic player but he hasn't come close to prime Ronaldo/Messi yet. How much would they be worth now? We'd have got a few wads more than £80m, I know that much.
His wages would also be eye watering.
Danish newspaper bt.dk has been in contact with someone close to Højlund, saying that the personal terms are still being negotiated as of 30 minutes ago. bt.dk is a serious source when it comes to danish football so that is probably true.
Jackson is a simpleton.Tweet

Add his wages, bonuses, agent fee and dealing with Dan Levy as well rat bastard
Buzzing with this transfer window. Now if we can get some sales, anything more is a bonus.
Of course ffs, what kind of question is this. We put in a first lowball bid, it gets rejected, and they tell us their price. Then Murtough said yes boss.
Is there any reason that explains his poor return in front of goal in Serie A?
His stats for Denmark are more encouraging but international football is a kinder place for strikers.

People now posting what they think is the fee rather than accepting what actually the fee is
fuk off...you guys bitched about the fee that Ole wanted to pay for Haaland and look how that turned out
this kid has a massive amount of potential and if he goes to PSG and scores blinders, you lot would have bitched and moaned about not paying the extra 5-10m quid to have landed him

Great news. We need to get him training with the team asap. Getting at least one 90 min pre-season display with the team would be ideal, although I don't think it'll happen.
I don't think he'll have an immediate impact in his first season, but I expect him to press high, constantly make runs and not shy away from battles. Hope he gets 10 league goals. Just having someone to play at 9 must be a big relief for Rashford too. Looking forward to that partnership.
Not looking forward to the media coverage though. Already shit like could've got Kane is appearing; the Haaland v Hojlund crap ahead of the derby will be maddening.

Pretty sure we've been doing that all summer.
He doesn't have a poor return in Serie A.
Don't read anything that mug says, useless when it actually comes to transfers. It was reported elsewhere they wanted £100m to begin with. It was a feck off price, they didn't want to sell and it took the player pushing from his side to get them to budge an inch.
Wasnt our last bid 50 million euro's plus 10 million euro add-ons, how do we then jump to 75 million euro's + 10 million euro add-ons?
It doesnt make much sense. We will keep getting rinsed in the future and need a potent DOF + scouting structure sooner rather than later. This is not sustainable at all.

Well we got the striker we required, relieved in that sense. There’s been whispers about us signing him for the past 6 months so that would indicate we’ve been tracking him for a while and that he’s EtH’s first or second choice. Can’t say I’ve seen enough of him to provide any opinion of him and looking forward to see him play under EtH. Got all our priorities sorted this window so that’s great news. Other additions would be a bonus. The balance of the squad looks so much better than at the start of last season and far more adapt to the game EtH likes to play.
Jesus it seems a lot of money but can't say I know the first thing about the lad. Market's crazy at the moment and sure the manager knows what he's doing.
His international goals came against two teams, Finland and Kazakhstan.
£64m plus £8m is what the Beeb and Sky are going with.
I'll be rounding it up to £75 million I guess.

But if they've advertised and sold Martial 9 for the kits I'm not sure they can change it
Is he bad now? The Caf was creaming over him last season and were happy to overpay for himAbsolutely clueless. You claim Højlund is nothing special, and then go on and suggest Sesko ffs
and Osimhen in the PL is also a gamble, you don’t know how it turns out for players from the Serie A. Just look at Koulibaly who according to rumors in that time even United wanted to spend a lot of money on when he was the star defender at Napoli.
Ornstein and Whitwell are reporting Atalanta wanted €100m
Agreed, none wow me and I think our rivals are all doing far better business than us. This window is reminiscent of van Gaal’s first season IMO.
I imagine this is much closer to the truth, but you won't see that in the media because it doesn't generate as much interaction/clicks, which is all they're fishing for.
Half an Enzo.
