Is it pronounced Fredge or Fredgie ?
Both sound the same to me. The first one looks more precise.

But due to some cultural characteristics is not considered offensive if people from other countries adapt your name to their idiom. So fans should just say Fred in the anglo way.

Thanks. I may stick with Fredge....since it helps me differentiate our new player from the 2014 striker (who I don't care for).

Why do videos like this always start with close ups of the player walking and jogging?
It is the Transfer Muppet lubricant before the full on hammering you give yourself ... Errr .... themselves while clips ranging in quality from "hmm, yeah, nicely done" to "why didn't we sign this year last year so he could do that for us ??!!!" play.

You can't just dive straight in with stuff like the latter.

So @MrBest isn't excited by this signing yet as above he's picked Fred in his ideal United squad for next season :houllier:
Lol here u go again, it's like you stalk my every post. He may be in my 11 but it don't change what I feel. I guess this forum lacks any sort of democracy as I become pray for voicing my opinion. Hey, i even got a warning off one of the "staff" because i lacked an insightful comment. What's not insightful about saying what I feel? Fred is a great player, i really like him but him joining United really does not fill my with excitement. When Sanchez joined, i was on the edge of my seat but that quickly soured as our style of play clearly didn't match. Fred would of been the same, i was super jealous in Jan that he was heavily linked with City. My point is simple and I really don't expect people to agree, but any player who has any flair like Sanchez and Fred just don't fit JM style. I ain't bashing Jose, believe me I'm past that. He is here to stay for at least another year. I just have to accept that but when Fred signs, i will be thinking another great talent not utilised.

No one said £57+m was fair for Keita but Liverpool have inflated the market by paying it, along with another £45m for Fabinho.

As such I think the £48m we are paying for Fred is a fair price and market value.

I've seen a bit of him yeah. He's going to be good.
Why are you adding extra on to the fees we’re paying for players?

that one was also pronounced "fredge" though. that's just the brazilian pronunciation of "fred"

Wait, you’re telling me Pogba didn’t cost £145 million plus VAT?
Add in the wages, signing bonus, free breakfast, lunch and probably dinner, laundry fees, and the haircuts and he's up to 500m.

A female? I'm not sure who We're signing anymore.. is it Fred or Daphne?
I bet there's Scooby-doo and Jack Wilshere in the back seat.

We would have gotten Fred if it weren't for them meddling kids!
It's okay. It's just Fellaini in a mask.

According to Tino Marcos, brazilian journalist, Fred said to him it was between City and United and he chose us. Can't give a source cause I just saw it on tv, but yeah, City can suck on that. :devil:

Doubt it. His quotes of "If not City, then United" make out as if we were a backup option when City didn't cough up the funds.

I can’t lie this doesn’t make no sense lol

You wanted him, Jose signs him and you’re not excited because in your mind Jose signed him to not play him, despite making him his first big signing?

Some united fans are weird lol

Fred will say that now of course. Can understand if he preferred City initially, Champions and he's got some Brazilian teammates there.

In any case, midfielders like him are a dime a dozen so I doubt City is crying overmuch. Let's focus on building a team and a system to properly challenge them.

How many times have you seen him? Can you tell me on which channel Ukrainian league is televised in India?

That's an odd question in this day and age. I haven't had TV subscription for years but I can watch all the football I want from all sorts of countries.

Fred on his ManUtd move : "First of all, I would like to thank my girlfriend Fellana for blocking the views of people outside the car. Without her, Pep would have stopped the car and shouted 'Pep or money?' over and over".

His unveiling video will just be Fred the red taking the mask off, isn't it?

Yeah its really not, I really doubt that an United fan would watch Shakthar matches in Ukrainian matches unless he lives in their country. How many times have you seen Shakthar play in their league?

He has pretty much called Fred an average midfielder.

Hey, I've never seen him play, haven't even claimed otherwise - but I could have watched him if I really wanted to, that's all.

I hope he's not average.

Never said that. I said it is easier to shop for quality midfielders in the market. Fred, Jorginho, etc --- not difficult to get quality. So if you miss one, you don't need to worry too much.

In comparison, it is more of a headache finding a quality striker or CB.

Ah, alright then, I thought the phrase "dime a dozen" means pretty average.

I was right about the post editing process. :lol::lol: (Said they will shoot on Monday and needs at least two days minimum to edit everything.)

They obviously need time to edit that unveiling video first, and of course social media pictures needs to be designed and approved by the client.

There are so much going on in a transfer these days, that's why it needs time.
