That is an amazing story, you lucky devil. Thanks for sharing.I once got a shout to do a gig with Damo Suzuki in my city in Ireland. I’d never heard of him or Can at that point. I thought he was going to be at least half Irish with a name like DamoThe message was something like Damo Suzuki needs a pickup band for tonight would you play guitar? I was like sure what’s the Craic with it? It’s just a jam and see what happens. Free/noise/art thing? Sounded like something I’d never done and then I embarrassingly kept calling him Damo as in Damien all night until the gig was over

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?

Good luck with that. Awful noise!
I can see why you had never heard of him and why hardly anyone else has either.I once got a shout to do a gig with Damo Suzuki in my city in Ireland. I’d never heard of him or Can at that point. I thought he was going to be at least half Irish with a name like Damo
Great little happening!I once got a shout to do a gig with Damo Suzuki in my city in Ireland. I’d never heard of him or Can at that point. I thought he was going to be at least half Irish with a name like Damo
Club expect to receive €75m
Heaton I think wants to leave, he has offers
100m. The default starting price for every player these days is 100m.
Whereas our club’s default max these days is 50m…
+5m in bonus payments

I don’t see the point in getting this guy. Is he even better than Kovar?
Kovar probably wants regular game time, therefor we have to look elsewhere. Just a guess of course.
He has some unique strengths that can make him a top tier GK one day. I think it's a good move.
So there has been more talk of this unknown player in this forum than between actual parties.
I thought his entourage would be his representatives or maybe MUFC just want to hang with his posse for a while before they explore the possibility of potentially making a bid.
I suppose we will have to wait for Fab to inform us if our interest is concrete or not.
Working on paperwork
I can just picture someone with a sheet of A4 and a pencil in his hand counting his fingers...this shit is gold.
Would he actually be our back up keeper or just another keeper in the background somewhere? Like, is he good enough to be our main backup keeper now? Say we sign Onana and he gets a long term injury on 2nd September- are we happy playing this guy every game for four months?
If we bring him in He would be kept as back Up keeper along with Heaton till January window then go on short Loan probably at English League 1team and we will bring another Experienced reserve Keeper on loan for second half of the season and in summer another cheap backup on permanent and he would spend year or two on loan to gain experience and then we would revisit the situation.
Thank you, Mr. Murtough.
So Heaton would be our main backup keeper and he’d be playing if our first choice gets injured for months?
You are Welcome but Jokes apart If we really rate him then that's the way I see it Going He would need to play regularly to reach his potential and there aren't many games he would get here behind Onana .
Until January I guess so .
this is the way. get him out on loan down the divisions. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a championship club take a punt on a highly rated young keeper that cost millions. He’ll need a few loans. I’m excited to see how good the scouting has been on this player. He sounds like he could be a future Utd keeper and a marketing dream if he makes it. Massive FM regen keepers with good kicking all the way. Plus he’s costing about 10% what a decent keeper will cost us by the time Onana starts to decline. Can’t lose really.

I think Kovar would be a decent back up
Apparently Urawa Reds are holding out for 5m fee. We are working on 3m + 1m add ons deal.
He’s on a roll by all accounts and is going back to Czech Republic to play in the CL/EL. There’s no point in him sitting on our bench next season with that kind of exposure and experience being offered to him
I assume he needs a permit, that's what the paperwork would be for.Working on paperwork

Away with the logical comments, this forum is meant for negativity towards the club at any chance.

What's funny?Working on paperwork

We have to submit an offer and that would have to be accepted before we even think about work permit details and that is not what the post that I replied to stated anyway.
A sense of humour.
Hmmm...very funny indeed. Forgot that its just United who bother with cumbersome paperwork with their offers. FFS...not hard to be critical of the club for a mountain of reasons and your attempt at playing to the gallery is over something that literally has to be done for every deal.
5m is our standard add on fee. So it’ll be more like zero upfront fee + 5m ballon dor clause add on
I think Kovar's development will be better served by being on loan somewhere and get regular game time. Don't forget he won the league last year, so he must have something going for him .
Either way is a win win for us.
I agree about Kovar (who seems a good prospect) probably benefitting from another loan as a starter at this stage of his career, rather than rarely featuring as a #2.
But Suzuki is pretty much at the exact same stage of his career as Kovar, so you'd think the same would apply as regards the best thing for his development as well - rather than signing to be used as a mostly non-playing #2.
The coaching staff know everything about Kovář whereas with Suzuki surely they’d want to see him train with us for at least half a season before thinking about a loan. I’m also sure him training with United’s first team would develop him a lot even if he didn’t play one single minute in his first season.
Yeah, fair point - if he's signing as another 'prospect' to be loaned out to gain experience, etc.
But I thought the suggestion was that he was to be signed as our main #2 - so staying at the club but (barring unwanted injury to Onana) rarely featuring. That was the basis that I was saying the lack of games he'd be getting at this stage of his career would seem to be an issue.
Yeah I guess no-one really knows what EtH, Hartis & co. are thinking. Whatever the case is, I'm sure they are open in communication with Suzuki & Kovář so all the relevant parties know what's going on.
