Question how much worse can he be in comparison to Lingard, Pereira and Mata playing in the No. 10 role?
Bruno Fernandes | Signed

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Ah more of the usual then, nothing to get excited about yet.
I don't think that should be our hurdle for spending 60-80m and giving huge wages to people
Bruno defends a lot more and has a higher work rate
Yeah I'd wait till a more reputable source (Times level) reports something.
With 65 million agent fee to Raiola
Aye not getting sucked in until there’s something concrete especially after that whole saga last summer with him.
Cash plus Rojo/Jones/Lingard would be extremely good. Maybe they want to get entire defence sorted and take both aforementioned CBs?
Hope we wrap it up tomorrow, but this has the air of Bruneijder about it.
A loan if possible would be the best way forward for us imo.
throw in Bailly as well and it would be the deal of the century. Although I presume we would also have to pay for a bigger treatment room at their training ground.
How does this make sense? Bring him in the summertime so he has to spend the beginning of next season adjusting? What?
Surely better to get him now if possible and let him use the remainder of this season to adjust and anyhow a non acclimatised 1 legged Bruno is better than Lingard.

This is looking more like last summer again with every tweet.
Key difference has been BBC wading in on it. How reliable those BBC reports are, yet to be seen. Everything from Portgual though? I assume that's bollocks.This is looking more like last summer again with every tweet.
What BBC reports? If it’s just the gossip page, then that’s just a round up of all the newspapers, and is worthless nonsense. I’ve not seen anything that yet BBC have actually reported, unless I’ve missed it?
Erm it’s on their website? Or is that fake? Or is this tweet fake?

My god, even the twitter sources quoting other sources are fake.
yes please
When the stock market opens?
Same source also said it would be completed this weekend
According to Twitter they broke Ederson to City , Felix to Madrid and Neves to Wolves before everyone else
don’t really see how it’s a panic buy. He will have been monitored for atleast a year now. I could imagine the board wanted to see if his form would carry over into this year and it has.
We also gave Jesse the chance to prove himself, which is something Ole mentioned. He’s failed miserably so his chance is over.
Another issue is Maddison just isn’t going to happen, they’ll demand silly money.
grealish I like a lot. But again I don’t know how much he'd cost and who else might go in for him.
I'm getting really, really impatient with this.. about to smash my computer if I don't hear any concrete news in the next 48 hours.
Some of you are an impatient lot
This reminds me of the saga's where usually the deal will be done within 48hrs, every day for several weeks.
I’m confident with this though. When the agent and the representative of the club itself were confirmed by tier 1 flied to England to negotiate with us then it’s positive progress. The difficult part here is that whether we can come to agreement with the club. If we can come into agreement with the fees, I think it’ll just matter of time until we announce it. The player’s contract is going to be easy here, not going to be like Dybala’s case because Bruno wants to leave.
20 goals a season then?
I don’t know why but that made me chuckle.
This saga now has a different feel to the previous 99. He's ours.
Simon Stone said Fernandes' agent met us a couple of days ago.

Is this guy reliable?
Not sure about him.
He’s the one that’s been calling Gedson to Spurs. If that goes through, then we’ll know he’s not too bad.
Romano said Gedson is going to Spurs. He’s basically the Twitter god for transfer news.
Looks like this is getting done and should be a decent signing. You have to wonder why we didn’t release Mata in the summer (saving 160k per week) and sign him months ago though.
