In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Sport Witness were great last season. Have they changed journalists/owners? (offtopic a wee bit sorry).
They collate, translate and contextualise transfer stories from around the world. They used to be really good at breaking down the reliability of specific rumours but that doesn't pay the bills as well as clickbaity tweets and headlines so they've shifted their style a lot as of late. Still an important resource given how accurate their translations are compared to certain other sites and newspapers.
Thanks.
It would surely be overkill, I can't see them both playing in a midfield of 3, maybe as a midfield 2 but that would mean Herrera not playing and Pogba moving into #10 role.
Best young CB apparently.
Eric Garcia, is the best Center of the #FCBMasia. It will be the ManCity player for the next 4 seasons. It will leave a little less than 2 M in box
Constant tweets of nothing happening
Nope. They mostly just translate articles from the rest of the world into English
It's a big loss, just as big as that of Mboula if not bigger. In the case of Garcia, he's actually Catalan and managed by Puyol. If there was ever an indictment of how disastrous things are within the club & its cantera, it's seeing a pearl of La Masia follow Pep to City
Or Girona
Yeah, that's an option I suppose but probably still too early for him to play in the first division much less Segunda, IMO. If he had stayed at Barcelona he'd be playing in Juvenil A which participates in the UEFA Youth League,
Giroud switch surely?
There were rumours about Fellaini moving on earlier this summer...
Either that or we're leaking Matic stuff to put pressure on Monaco. I hope.
Never mind Matic, get this guy + Fabinho.
I think Nainggolan is on pretty low wages at Roma, even with his contract negotiations there. Would be an easy get if they are willing to sell.
Feck it, get all 3 and keep Matic as backup. Everybody's happy (well except Matic but who cares about him right)
We definitely need 2 midfielders - our only credible sub is inexperienced Pereira. Not sure if spending 40 millions on a squad option is okay though.
Yep.
They won't sell easily, as they already received huge sums from Liverpool and Zenit this summer.
I've said this a fewa times but this midfield with Pogba would be one of the best in the world!!!
AS Roma made an offer for Gonalons. The player wants the move.
Will like replace Paredes.
Yes but he's a bit more defensive than Naingolan
Bored.
Need something to get my inner muppet mojo going.
To be honest I'd even get excited reading sensationalist BS today.
Just pains me to think of another season with dross from Rooney, Lingard and fellaini

Our problem last year was not scoring enough goals. While we may need midfielders we need someone to put the ball in the net
Heard this was a case of City offering the kid waaay too much money
Would be a replacement for Paredes you'd think. Monchi is building a treasure chest. Surely to be able to fund a big signing at some point. Perhaps for Dzeko whenever that sale happens or a proper midfielder of course. They're looking at bringing in Pellegrini back from Sassuolo as well, might be a potential Nainggolan replacement who knows.
The idea does not lack sense. Matic is more of a deep lying playmaker than a DM. That's something most people miss. People try to lock him into a DM role but he is not at his best playing that role. Meanwhile, if Fabinho is not playing right back, his best role is as a DM.
Moreover, compare Madrid's midfield with United's midfield:
Real Madrid's Midfield
Modric
Asensio
Casimero
Isco
James Rodriguez
Kovacic
Kroos
Manchester United's Midfield
Pogba
Carrick
Mata
Herrera
Fellaini
Mikhi
Lingard
Timothy Fosu Mensah
Replace Fellaini and Fosu Mensah or Carrick with Matic and Fabinho and suddenly we are looking better. Replace Lingard and Mata with James Rodriguez / Dembele or Pereira and suddenly we are looking great.
