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.
has not seemed the same player since he came back from his long injury.
still an excellent player to have.
and 'that' combination can be pretty useful.
Spill then who are your priority targets? Try and make me feel better about this life shattering evening
Banega
Nasri
Sneijder
Are the main ones, but there are a good few others I'd be happy with too.
Schweiny would top my list but I think that one's furthest of the question.
But just watch as Fat Frank ruins the recipe with shit mediocrity.
Ramires is deceptively strong. grafts and puts a boot in. I like him. I expect big things from him next season unfortunately.
Pah, I never wanted the girly-haired twit anyway!
*lies*
Let's hope he's as successful as Torres.

That doesn't really sound like desperation to join Chelsea & no other club to me.
superb, henderson and challey adam to vermin, modric to plastics.....lads who i didn't want to come to united are not ending up here...happy days.
Ramires was good for them. I actually forgot they had Ramires when I said about Essien because on current form it would be Modric and Ramires getting in.
I am guessing they are trying to build a team around Torres like Liverpool from 07-09. This probably means Lampard/new attackingmid filling the role that Gerrard played in 08/09 and feeding Torres and Modric filling the role of Alonso as the passer.
What they do need is new wingers so lets see who they buy.
As it stands:
----Modric---Ramires/Essien
--------Lampard/Benayoun/new playmaker
---------Torres
isn't too bad but is relying on Essien, Lampard and Torres rediscovering their old form.
This is they part from the interview, I wonder if there is something in writing.
ROFL at Devil's Ted Dibiase video!!!! I remember that man,
, looking back, what a fat fooker he was!!! Makes the point though.It seems Chelsea put in a bid for him before the start of last season, but for whatever reason, Modric didn't think it was the right time to move. Spurs offered him a new long term contract which he signed, but he only signed with the promise by Spurs, if Chelsea came in for him again, & he felt the time was right, he could leave. Spurs accepted this, as the long term contract would enable them to get more money for him if he had a great season. Seems Modric has called on that agreement and wants to transfer to Chelsea.
ROFL at Devil's Ted Dibiase video!!!! I remember that man,
He used to be Steve Austin's manager back in 1996, can you believe that
So Modric called Sportsmail directly from his superyatch to trash talk Spurs?
We can read you know

Does he really want to burn his bridges at Tottenham by signing for Chelsea?
So Modric called Sportsmail directly from his superyatch to trash talk Spurs?
Logic fail on two counts:
1)They could have called him looking for an interview, you know;
2) Clearly he wasn't trash-talking Spurs, so that's a convenient straw-man right there.
It seem that he's more interested to join Chelsea over us, my muppet is really sad. Killoy
Oh Dear.Looks like we were never interested in Modric.This was all a Cafe driven campaign.
Doesn't really sound like that, with the word 'consider'.
How have you come to that conclusion?
go to chelsea you overated little twat
So we are not.getting him, feck that!
That pretty much rules out a move to anyone besides Chelsea. Spurs wouldn't sell to Arsenal and if Modric is unwilling to uproot his family and wants to stay in the capital then that knocks a move to Manchester outta the equation.
Case closed.
Two ways this can to now: either we hammer in a bid and wages offer that blows Chelsea out of the water or we feck off and buy an el salvadorian wonderkid who shit's all over the prem next year for £3m.
He wants away.Only a matter of time
if modric does come here, i hope him and berba have a good talk.
As I said before IMO he's not worth 25m let alone 45m. Chelsea's 22m offer is a reasonable offer. I think his end product is just not there.
Don't want him to play for us even if he issues a 'come and get me' plea to United.

I call bullshit I'm afraid.
Time will tell.
Some Spurs fan
"If this is true----- and I hope it isn't, the one silver lining is that he won't go to Man Utd, and that will continue their decline which began with their shameful performance againct Barcelona."
When are United not in decline?
Pathetic, utterly pathetic.
Very disappointing if true, though I'm still a little sceptical about the interview, I don't know why Modric would invite Daily Mail journalists onto his yacht. But every paper is running with it so its probably legit.
To be honest, for all the laughing at Glaston, I and many other Spurs fans thought similar. He signed a long contract at the end of last season when we weren't looking like we were getting into the CL. He didn't have 2 years left like Carrick and Berbatov. I thought he'd stay one more season and then move. Someone's turned his head clearly.
I never believed Modric was loyal, none of them are anymore. But I thought he'd stay one more season before moving on. Modric is actually being very sneaky on this. Trying to engineer a move through the press and without putting in a transfer request so that he can stay on good terms with the fans. That certainly won't happen if he ends up in blue next season.
Levy needs to man up and take one of three options. Tell you, Chelsea, City to feck off and tell Modric he's staying one more seaosn, after which he'll be sold for a certain price. Ask for something ridiculous from Chelsea (50 million and Sturridge) and see what they do. Or my preferred option, man up and sell him abroad. None are particularly attractive.
We're now in the rather unenviable position of having four clubs above us who can all offer champions league and significantly greater wages and a club below us who can offer significantly greater wages. We need that new stadium fast or a sugar daddy I guess (though don't want that) to compete.

He has come out and said in his own words he wants to leave and wants to stay in London.
I think this case is closed folks. Nothing to see here

I think Spurs will be fine without him to be honest. They can use the cash to buy a few much needed players like Strikers and central defenders.
What he wants and what he gets are two different matters. I want Cheryl Cole and a billion £ in my bank account, I can tell you that with my own words but it doesn't mean it's happening.
Time will tell, but footballers normally do get what thy want in the end
