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?

As long as the "good way" means a significantly reduced salary (at least 60% reduction on his current salary) and a willingness to accept the possibility of becoming a back-up if sustained poor performance happens again in the future. Then i'm happy.
60% salary reduction - get real. DDG is one of our best players and deserve to be well paid.
He’s on 375K is it? 250 would be fair new terms imo.
Not at 375K and he should not be the club's highest paid player under any circumstances.
a 60% reduction in his reported salary puts him on £140k per week. For a goalkeeper that is very well paid…
EDIT: Something in the region of £150k per week keeps him the most highly paid keeper in the league still. We need to get real with the salary problems Woodward left us with.

His United links make him relevant to this topic, especially now that Chelsea's deal is seemingly collapsing.
Ridiculous isn't it, it's got to the point where CAFtards are dictating how much players are paid
First of all £150k does not make him the highest paid keeper. Ederson is reported to be at £180-200k - and Allison Becker is reported to be at £160-180k - and I agree that we have paid some of our players too much, but there is no person in the world who would happily accept a 60% salary reduction. And as DDG still is among our best performers he deserves to be well paid. So a 20-25% reduction would be ok in my opinion, anything more than that is wrong
85m is actually realistic, don't think Benfica will get much more than that even in the summer.
Doesn't get much more exciting than these Butland links
Isn’t that the problem? It has to be worth more otherwise what’s the point in selling him mid season?

I remember being excited by him in the WC, but i gotta admit i thought he was younger, and viewed him more as potential than as the finished package. Haven’t seen him outside the WC though, so don’t base that on much really…
Yeah where are the solid striker links,tend to think there's nothing in Giroud/Thuram as not mentioned by usual suspects

It’s a fair position given his age and our ability to replace him for much much cheaper. We had no bargaining power when he signed his last contract. Kepa, the next highest paid GK in the league, is on 40% of de gea’s salary (60% less). I’ve always thought reducing his salary by 50% should be the goal.

What if no other teams will pay him more than 40% of his current salary? 60% reduction to stay at his long time club sounds pretty good then? We have all the bargaining power here. No one will pay close to his current wages and we’re prepared to move on if he doesn’t play ball.
His contract expires in the summer so there was never going to be an option to buy clause
From Ben Jacobs' Substack article for CaughtOffside (Tier 2):

Caught offside is garbage source,damn it why can't this be Whitwell/Stone/Ducker. Also suggests we would wait until he becomes free agent in the summer which sucks
This is from Ben Jacobs, who's providing the info via CaughtOffside. Romano does the same thing from time to time.
That's all a matter of course, except I wonder where Mr Plettenberg gets the notion from that it is "almost certain" the Eintracht will play internationally next season..
He might be referring to Frankfurt having to qualify for the Champions League. It's a weird translation, but that's what I get out of this.
Yeah that would make more sense. Maybe he mistakenly wrote "what" instead of "that"
I liked the idea of Muani but if he keeps the nonsense of wanting to stay at Frankfurt then go to Bayern etc we should just move on. We don't have time for this kind of guy. Let's just go for Thuram for now and think about the summer afterwards.
Why are we signing another goalie? I thought we had Heaton & the guy from Newcastle?
Newcastle recalled Dubravka, so Butland takes his place in the team.
