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.

Cavani to PSG for 63m euros was one of the first "silly money" transfers I remember for someone who wasnt considered world class.
He'd scored 78 goals in 104 games, he definitely was being called world class at the time.
He was world class
Yeah. I think he's closer to someone like Mangala than Kompany / Laporte. Just don't think he's that good and probably can offer only 2-3 seasons anyway. But we'll see.
He wasnt Ronaldo, Bale, Kaka level.
Transfer fees blew up after that
I don't think he was seen as ridiculously priced at the time. Kaka cost the same, and with the benefit of hindsight at the time, 60 mil was the norm for borderline world class talent.

Seems like the fees being mentioned are far more 'reasonable' than in recent years.

How much money do Villarreal have? They seem to be buying every Valencia player going

Is Simon working for Dortmund’s PR company now?
Maybe Pau Torres money?
He's just stating the facts, what any journalist should do.

Not really. Stating we’re miles off the top two and our squad depth isn’t good enough is a subjective opinion, one I happen to agree with but it isn’t a fact.

I was talking about the previous comments from Zorc and the context behind the transfer of Dembele to Barcelona. You are right though, that what he says in regards to squad depth is his opinion.
That would actually be a good alternative to Sancho: much younger and also extremely talented winger
Cannot see Barca selling Fati even if they need money this summer.
Of course we are but we aren't buying him because Barca wants to keep him. Stupid tweet, not you Tom but the tweet
Chance hell freezes over first before we got Fati. Their fans gonna lynch Bartomeu if that happens
There's zero chance of Barca selling him though.
I’m not sure. He was an excellent striker in his prime. The Kaka transfer proved to be a total failure and I actually wondered whether that had quite a lot to do with it - well Kaka does nothing and he cost X, so....
We can barely get money for Sancho who has a fee of £108m, what makes us think that we can even afford Fati, he is probably using United as a bargaining chip for a better contract, usually thats what happens when a Real / Barca player wants a new contract.
Barca will never sell him. He probably won’t want to leave them either. At least not yet.
But I’m glad to see us poaching their youngsters just how they have poached ours. Will put them in a tough spot if they don’t give him enough playing time going forward.
Hypothetically speaking, he may just cost a tad bit less than Sancho too.

I remain interested in Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
What do people think about enquiring on Adama Traore?
No CL/Europa league next season, 24, Right Winger, fecking mustard. Only sticking point is the long contract. Decent alternative to Sancho?

I've genuinely forgot, who did they poach from us?
No, he's an animatronic muppet operated by Ed Woodward.
Yes shame it’s not believable. Should’ve been about Traore although maybe that’s a bit close to the truth should Sancho fall through (in my head anyway!)100% United with a brief trying to ruffle Dortmund
Surprised we havent been linked with him more actually.
