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.
Why aren't we in for him?!!
He is the kind of a player that would help us break compact defenses.
The defenses we are facing a highly compact in the middle, exactly the kind of player that doesn't break those defences down. He may have qualities but they come from drifting off the wing and cutting inside.
I hadn't heard of him for ages. Would have thought he had retired by now. Good on him.
And yes, we were linked and I think we even played a pre-season friendly with Boca with everyone in here keeping an eye on him.
Kevin Kampl switches from Bayer Leverkusen to RB Leipzig, move is expected to be finalized today (well, duh).
I like Kampl, a lot of quality there - have always wondered how he'd do in a bigger club, seems a lateral move but probably comfortable in Germany
Leipzig are on the up I think it's a good move.
Should be an improvement to Leverkusen, at least they play in the CL this year.
Mustafi loan deal falls apart, Arsenal end interest in johnny evans.
He was originally supposed to join Leipzig from Salzburg, moved to Dortmund instead, flopped miserably, moved to Leverkusen for a couple of years, and is ending up at Leipzig eventually anyway.
What are Arsenal doing?
Selling Gibbs & Ox, trying to sell Mustafi and are also quite likely to lose Sanchez. How do they plan to cover this?
Wait there was once they legendary deadline day when Wenger signed a bunch of players in a few hours..

Mahrez not going to arsenal

That club can do anything right at this moment in time. I can only imagine the morale levels in that dressing room.
This guy is like the grim reaper for Arsenal. Keeps delivering bad news after bad news. They'll end up keeping so many players who want to leave and the overall morale of the team is going to take a huge hit.
This is going to be a fecking awful day for Arsenal fans.
Where do we reckon Mahrez is moving then?
Maybe he's so pissed he is just selling everyone and playing youth. That's what I'd do.What are Arsenal doing?

Make no mistake about it, if City gets Sanchez (and Evans), in theory, they will be the clear favourites to take the title this season and they'll be a threat in Europe.
Mahrez to Barca then..?
Or are Roma back in?
It won't be us, so..

Almost
There's no way Arsenal can sell Sanchez and not bring anyone in. Either they're confident getting someone of City, Sanchez is staying or Wenger has lost the plot. The latter looking more likely as the days go on.
Assuming Sanchez replaces Aguero in their team.is he really a huge improvement?
Curious what Dortmund fans think of his time at BVB, he has always looked terrific to me
So that they can be stronger in depth. I think the average elite team needs about six solid forward liners.
Lukaku
Rashford
Martial
Ibrahimovic
Lingard
Mata
Miki (?)
Vs
Aguero
Jesus
Sane
Sterling
Silva / De Bruyne (?)
Sanchez (incoming)
Vs
Firminho
Mane
Salah
Sturidge
Milner
Lemar (incoming)
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin (incoming)
Vs
Morata
Willian
Pedro
Hazard
Bathsuayi
Fabregas (?)
Llorente (incoming)
Which is stronger?
*The names with the question marks are players who are deployed at times as forwards.
Serie A title and deep stages (semi's) of the CL again I think this season, Bonucci will be a loss but I think Juve are capable of replacing him between Howedes and more minutes for Rugani, and with Costa and Bernardeschi you have the sort of danger from wide-forwards/inverted wingers that I don't think I've seen you have a while which gives you more options.
Why? i wonder. Why are us and chelsea not considered as favourites? We have equally good and deep squad, and certainly a better defense.
Nope. He just gets injured less. I see the signing as more of a kick in the balls for us when we need a player of his quality, and City don't, yet are still getting it done.
Sanchez won't be replacing Aguero this season. He'll be joining him.
That's why I said 'in theory'. Walker, Danilo, Ederson and Mendy certainly up their defense considerably. On paper, they are up there with most in the league.
Sanchez and Aguero mean having two of the leagues deadliest attackers in world football in one team. I think that will make up for some other shortcomings the team might have.
There was talk of Barca.
Exactly. Aguero is still at City, Sanchez will be playing alongside him.....and Silva....and De Bruyne....That's a hell of a forward line even before you bring in the likes of Bernardo, Jesus and co.
He'll play deeper now.
So Sky are saying United and Chelsea were chasing Aurier, but he's chosen to move to Spurs because of Levy and Pochettino
