Think nobody has offered us close to what we got him for, so we've not sold.

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?

Yikes. I really don't think that is the way to go.
You guys are funny
Never lost it
Why? When they can structure a deal to keep majority of their budget, why do they then need to go for a lower cost and possibly lower quality option?
I'm not so sure myself either. Highly recommend reading through the NYTimes profile on LFC's transfer strategy (because the article draws an analogy between LFC and Utd for spending big on CBs) https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/22/magazine/soccer-data-liverpool.html
We're going for young, english (this season) and "heart" while everyone else has moved on to data driven scouting and DoFs. Partially explains our spectacular failures over the past five years or so in the transfer market.
Does sitting on a bench earning 50/60k a week for 3/4 years earn you a spot?
Bar a few games in the league cup and Europa league against weak teams he’s done nothing to deserve it.
Feck off then.
And a World Cup final.
I'd rather have De Ligt for 2-4 seasons and sell him to Barca than buying Smalling mk.II for the same amount and seeing him getting a renewed contract with high wages so we can't sell him to anyone
Wasn't he supposed to be the next Zlatan?

I genuinely think these Fernandes links are utter bollocks.
I’m sure Sky said that Fernandes bloke was all set for City a few weeks ago.
It's amazing how Madrid barely have any players worth swapping for a cash + player(s) deal aside from Varane and Casimero, shows how bad their squad is at the moment.
Maybe 100 million plus Casimero seeing as Real Madrid are all about galacticos and don't really value defensive midfielders.
Madrid won't pay up? Well too bad for them.
I agree. The only player City will be interested in is a replacement for Fernandinho. The rest of their team is solid. Why break up a good thing.
No that was John Guidetti
Yeah but feck me hes hardly played. Just let him go. Hes taking up wages someone else could be paid. Its ridiculous.
Getting sick of Zidane's obsession with Pogba as well. Ronaldo gave him a managerial career, let's see how many UCLs or leagues he wins without him. Might be sacked by next summer.
Or then again. He might not.
He'll jump before he's pushed, just like last time.
I think you’re giving way too much credit to our transfer strategy.....by assuming we have a transfer strategy.
I’d love it if we had a separate slogan for each player though.
Rakatic: experienced, winner, hates woofters
I've honestly started to block out any "news" re Pogba. I think we re being overly sensitive to it. You can't expect the player to respond to it - once he does he just gave em more quotable words to spin and twist to fit their narrative. It's a losing battle. If he wants to be here next season and still is then great. If not, we've lost players like Beckham, RvN, Ronnie etc over the years too and ultimately ended up being pretty okay for it.
It would be nice though to hold on to players like City has been able to do. These days we've been more of a merc team than them and that bothers me the most. Props to them for holding onto Aguero, Silva, Kompany etc over the years whereas it would have been easy to cash out.

Apparently he's not hugely keen on black people and dwarves either?
Sounds like a lovely chap to have around the dressing room...
We may be fecking shit but we are not getting beaten by Spurs in a transfer window.
Yet a lot of people are mentioning full backs that are great going forward and cant defend that we should sign and you are making a point of saying if that is what we want we should sign a defender that can do neither. Ashley YOung and Valencia have both been good going forward until the past season.
Personally also I think Bissaka is fine going forwards, he is there to support the attackers
We have had in Young and Valencia attackign full backs that have both been decent going forward until the last season but suspect defensively, yet I keep seeing people mentioning full back we should be after that are good going forward.....and cant defend
And come on, making a point of saying Darmian, he is really weak in this league defensively.
Anyway, I disagree with the going forward comment people are jumping on, sure there are aspects he can improve on, but we are looking for a great full back defensively that can support our attacking players, he is good going forwards and I think will improve....Lukakus touch was never going to improve, awful signing from the outset
OGS should waltz into Woodwards office - and simply say: It's Spurs!
Would he get on with martial, that’s the question. He’s kinda short, definitely black....but he’s a serial womaniser. Tough one

Bet he wasn’t a fan of different strokes

I think you're fighting against a competitor that does not exist except as negotiating ploy by the selling club.
I don’t think either club are interested
If we get these two it'll help massively with for a top three push. I'd be over the moon the have an actual right back and a ball playing CB. He's better in that regard than Koulibaly.
Got any inside news @Remix re transfers this summer
