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.
I just want to know if Perigate is closed or still open? Except if the United's valuation of him is somewhere in the 30 - 40 million range, don't see why we haven't concluded this saga. Smokescreen?
Fair point!
Never imagined that I would have seen Everton spending this number in one summer.
True, but that means it won't be just Rooney inevitably scoring against us on September 17th
Looks delighted.
It's photoshopped. I have posted the real pictures in my previous post.
I tweeted it for the prices listed.
Some good signings as well.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought that unveiling was pretty cool. Rooney was was good too.
That's what they are supposedly valuing him to prop up the Lukaku few
They got him for nothing
Couldn't gove a feck about Evans joining City. Its good news if anything. He's a very average player capable of a sloppy pass and a slow turn. He weakens their defence if he plays in my opinion. Im glad he's able to get a move back to the top but it doesn't bother me. I was glad when we got rid of him.
City play Everton next. Shame Gylfi won't be fit enough.
That's a bloody great signing for Everton - I'd have been happy to see us sign him to be honest!
He's kept Swansea in the PL almost singlehandedly for years. Swansea at 2.1 to go down is a great bet right now.

Maybe they'll sell Barkley and get some of that money back. And later down the road I think they'll also sell Rooney to MLS or China, perhaps next summer already, depending on how he fares. Get a little cash there as well, probably not too significant though.
But unless their new signings all flop, that's decent business for Everton in the immediate future.
That new stadium in a few years is going to cost though. I know they've got an injection of money but stadium constructions need a lot of dough.
It will probably cost two Neymars by then, depending on the scale of course. Say, around £400m? Wonder how much of that the club will end up paying in the end.
Everton has been completely revamped this summer.
A pint says Rooney retires next summer.
Nice touch with the Iceland trademark celebration, although I think they mistimed it a bit.
Who will buy Barkley for such significant sum though? Spurs have Alli, City has countless attacking options... Arsenal?
And it won't be easy for them to offload Rooney, just like it wasn't for us.
That pint sounds like it's bitter!
Wish we'd be involved a rumour that looked a little credible, the muppets need fed.
I think Barkley is starting to realise he's not that hot of a property as he believed himself to be. No one's exactly desperate to sign him. Shit happens.
He could (should) approach this with maturity and accept being a part of a better squad where his role is perhaps even further reduced than it was at Everton last season.
Because let's face it, wherever he aspires/d to go, that would probably happen anyway. At a bigger club, he'll have to bide his time and wait for his opportunities. That isn't what he really wants but I think that's all he's going to get, as it stands now.
And it's a result of his own request. I for one thought he should've kept quiet and aimed for one more season at Everton, especially if they end up playing in the 17/18 EL. If he can't do it at Everton or in the EL, it's not exactly going to get any easier at a bigger club, although he'll presumably have a better salary.
He'll most likely stay in the PL. I don't believe Arsenal are interested. Chelsea or Tottenham just might be, and I'd say that those two are his best options.
Chelsea's squad is thin and can get even thinner. Tottenham's Son is apparently too inconsistent – I rate Son though. Alli will probably sit out a few matches due to suspensions or injuries, likewise for Eriksen. My point is that Barkley will get his chances somehow, with CL and other cup competitions too.
Damn this post was long.
As for Rooney: I think it'll be easier if it's to MLS or China.
Nah. We lack creatively, that's obvious, but if we get one half-decent attacking midfielder, maybe a solid loan we'll be OK. Clement drills players to death defensively, so we don't concede many. Bony is coming back, too.
He might not be choosing to stay but he's also not making it easy for us.
Lacking creativity is one thing but a half decent signing or a solid loan isn't going to replace the impact Sigurdsson has had on your club. He has probably the best delivery of a set piece in the league and he scores or makes goals at well over once every two games.
That sort of influence is incredibly difficult for any club to replace.
And were walking away......this is us walking......out.....of...the...shop......yes mabel.....get your coat......we're leaving!
Rooney for 10M£? I thought he went on a free.
Coleen made it clear to Wazza she wont move away from the north of England.
