Yeah, Ancelotti is just a rubbish manager only good at cups. He's basically Harry Redknapp with a fancier name.

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 true, thats exactly what i am thinking, in fact i would go on and say it again, what if we sign another RW, and are not interested in him anymore and Bayern sign him for free next year. How stupid would they look, not only they have rejected some 30 to 40 million Euros which is alot for them lets be fair, except that they would only have strengthened their rivals even further, and made to look like Bayern's bitch again, surely all the other teams and their fans laugh at Dortmund for their supposed tough guy stance, when they have already sold their club Captain to them.
Good signing for Spurs, but I don't see it from Wanyama's perspective. He is more than good enough to play every game for most PL teams, but may sit on the bench at Spurs waiting for injuries or league cup games.
This is not the case. Dier is the only true DM at Spurs, so Wanyama would provide proper competition/cover for him.
It's a signing that makes sense. He's settled in England, already adapted to the Prem and Pochettino knows him well. The price is not expensive and he's young enough (soon to turn 25) to be with Spurs for years to come.

Valencia sporting director Suso stops the march of Gomes to United. They are resisting Mendes.
Dont want anyway
Last season was the first time I really watched him and I'm not impressed. Granted, the team was shite but I don't think we will sign players out of form especially for big money.
He's got serious world class potential.
Oh how I love the RedCafe.
What the feck is going on with all the clubs blocking moves for players. They can't do anything in Gomes's case anyways, he has a release clause. Pretty high though.
I didn't even realise he a true DM. Thought he was a CB at first, before Poch played him at RB and then at CDM. Bentaleb can do a half decent job can't he, though he's more of a box to box player. Dembele can play that position as well. It makes sense for spurs of course, but probably not for Wanyama, if he's going to be second or third choice for that position.
World class potential, that he cant show somehow more than in a handful of games per season
ITs been said a few times but...Those clauses are only good for Spanish teams.
That can't be right? How did Javi Martinez sign for Bayern on deadline day despite Bilbao not willing to sell ?
We've seen first hand with Herrera that there are ways around it.
£10m for Michael Keane. £20m for Troy Deeney. Football has lost the plot and needs capping pronto.

Is that our ex-player Michael Keane?
If he was still at the club, I guarantee you we'd have got £1.60 and a used condom wrapper for him.
Hopefully that'll change now that Mourinho's in charge. Still can't believe I'm saying that.
Bayern paid the clause if I am not wrong
They did, but the poster said that those Buy-out clauses are only applicable for Spanish teams. I'm assuming he meant, that those clauses can only be activated by spanish teams ? I googled it and didn't really find anything to support that.
The player himself has to pay the clause
It was a bit like our Herrera transfer wasn't it? They paid the clause by going straight to the Spanish FA and covered all taxes due which is normally how Bilbao delay a deal.
Doubt that be the price, but would be such a good move for him.
As for Troy, 20M is steep, but the team pays what they value the player.
Troy would fit slot into the Leicester team behind Vardy perfectly. Not only is he a goalscorer, but he creates chances and works very hard, which is indicative of a Leicester side.
Yeah, on paper. But the buying club pretty much transfers the money to the player for the deal to be done.
Yes but legally the Spanish FA cannot prove where that money came from. Thats why the player himself pays it.
If United went in and paid it they would say no.
Yes,those clauses only exist in Spain and I am not sure if Belgium too. It can be activated/paid for any team trying to buy the player,from Spain or abroad.I don't know if it's exactly what you asked

Yeah, I remember the Herrera deal went down like that. They gave a pretty informative article on the club website at the time.
Aah ok, the way the poster I quoted phrased it made me think only Spanish teams had any right to activate the transfer.

Sorry I meant its straight forward for Spanish teams but not for non Spanish teams. Which is why teams can be hard headed about it.Yeah, I remember the Herrera deal went down like that. They gave a pretty informative article on the club website at the time.

That becomes an income on the players part for tax reasons.
Yes,exactly the same.I think that in both cases they tried to demand the VAT

Aah ok, but from what I read (Just now), the buying club pays the tax as well on behalf of the player. So if we wanted him, we just need to match his clause, one way or the other. I think it is around 60m Euros though, very high.
Well, I bloody hope not. What if Pogba doesn't want to come back? Why would we just let a very good CM in Pjanic go to Juventus without any real security of Pogba being available?
Didn't Pjanic want to sign for Juventus anyway?
Mou: Pjanic? Forget him I only want Pogba
Woody: I don't think he wants to sign for us anyw....
Mou: I SAID FORGET HIM WE DONT WANT HIM
Mou: Pjanic? Forget him I only want Pogba

Pogba is going to be this summers "saga" isn't it? The predictable yearly drama that drags on and on and inevitably ends in disappointment.
Hopefully, Mourinho is not as naive as that. Probably just a click bait article.
It won't run for too long. Juve have his replacement in place and the Pogba deal will move along once his Euros have concluded.
He's only going with this because he was the one spouting about us wanting Pjanic.
High risk, high reward.
Don't we get a percentage of the fee from Keane's next move anyway?Is that our ex-player Michael Keane?
If he was still at the club, I guarantee you we'd have got £1.60 and a used condom wrapper for him.
Hopefully that'll change now that Mourinho's in charge. Still can't believe I'm saying that.
Pogba does have family and friends here in Manchester (I know his cousin) so it is possible he wants to move back.
Probably end up going to City to spite us.
I really hope that this isn't true. He's not going to come back here, his price will be astronomical and Madrid will pay it. He's not choosing us over them, so if there's an alternative we're considering, we certainly shouldn't let them go elsewhere!
