In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Brilliant business, bet they couldn't believe their luck when Sissoko performed so well at the Euro's.
It's not a signing I'm happy with - not for the money involved anyway. But if Poch wants him that badly, then I guess we have to trust his judgement and hope it works out.
Thought you couldn’t spend that big money, ’cause of the stadium etc.?
Some good deals in there defo. But also they have a whole bunch of new players and I wonder if they will manage to get promoted which they really should with their budget. The Sissoko deal is a result for them for sure, and I like the Gayle and Yedlin deals also. Not so sure about some of the others.
just shows what a guy he isThat is number 36 for the Chelsea loan Army.

Shambles for Everton. To be fair 30 million on him would also be a shambles, but they've failed in getting him, Brahimi and Giabbadini in a day or so.
What a cnut. At least have the decency to turn them down
Not couldn't - Spurs will shortly be the top 10 globally in income terms and have spent very little in net terms for years now - but chose not to, presumably with stadium finances in view.
So I can only assume that Poch really wanted this player and Levy has backed him.

Crazy. He turns 23 in January. Quite a lot of players Chelsea have loaned out around that age. No future at Chelsea and an uncertain future themselves going on loan trips.
Spurs giving Everton the Willian treatment.
This Sissoko move is evidence of how bonkers the transfer window has become. Sky Sports must have their pants around their ankles at this saga/farce. 30 million 
This, thats not on

Nah, Willian was much nicer about it iirc
It'll be interesting to see if any of the football authorities clamp down on it. Chelsea are making a tidy bit of dosh from our " loan army".
Guess the Everton panic bid. I'm saying a 30 million bid for Depay.

We've probably got 20 odd player still not out on loan who could be. Fancy a Van Ginkel? We'll throw in a free Solanke.
Think both Pochettino and Koeman have been found out somewhat regarding their recruitment/talent-spotting following their moves to Tottenham and Everton respectively.
They don't appear to be quite so hot without the resources, data and personnel available to them at Southampton.

That is fantastic for him

I'm in the minority, but I believe that a motivated Sissoko is a pretty decent player. In the few games that I watched him for when he played for Newcastle, he worked hard and was solid.
Dick move by him re: Everton though.

Why didn't you go for him earlier in the summer, or did you have other targets in mind?
They were after Zaha just a couple of days ago, so I'd say Sissoko was far from their primary target.
Didn't know that but yeah it looks poorly planned by Spurs.

It's even worse by Sissoko, now they're saying he approached Everton about a transfer in the first place....
