Sky saying we a far apart in valuation, still in talks ......I have a bad feeling about this
Probably, but could also be the player asking for more money or bonuses or an all manner of things, transfers take time to process, sure they couldve been hashing out a deal all throughout the season, we don’t know.Unfortunately you are probably right here. I think Ed and Judge are feeling the heat a little and feel they need to be seen to be presenting some sort of solution, whether thats signings or progressing Academy etc.
But the answer to all the time wasting and dragged out deals, is more than likely down to the two incompetent jobsworths tasked with them
Agree, Some fans would moan if it was Messi coming here.Some of the moaning in this thread is literally insane.
The guy absolutely smashed the Portuguese league.
He has a very good record in the Europa League - including this season.
And he is a full Portugal international.
He isn't a guaranteed success, no player is. But if this isn't the sort of player that we should be targeting, who the hell is?
Messi is knocking on a bit.Agree, Some fans would moan if it was Messi coming here.
He wouldn't make his debut away to Liverpool anyway. Maybe from the bench but definitely not to start.We better fecking sign him in time for Liverpool. We can't go into that game with Lingard starting.
Even if he does sign in time, I'm not sure chucking him against Liverpool at Anfield for his first start would be a great idea....We better fecking sign him in time for Liverpool.
Isn't that what happened to Vidic and Evra? Might be imagining it though.Even if he does sign in time, I'm not sure chucking him against Liverpool at Anfield for his first start would be a great idea....
That's a real baptism of fire.
I can't honestly remember, but Liverpool now is a totally different beast from thenIsn't that what happened to Vidic and Evra? Might be imagining it though.
We were signing all summer and zero actually happened. Same old tripe being recirculated as they want to raise the profile of one of their players who they are looking to sell. Fans just buy into the hype over and over again...Sky saying we a far apart in valuation, still in talks ......I have a bad feeling about this
A young Messi then.Messi is knocking on a bit.
I'd still take todays Messi for £100mA young Messi then.
All i know mate that they take a full transfer window to get the deals over the line!I very much doubt you know the owners and/or Ed so you have no idea what stage the negotiation is up to!
Seen this, but don't think Ole is happy with it. He wants deal done without players involved.Tweet

Indeed.Even if he does sign in time, I'm not sure chucking him against Liverpool at Anfield for his first start would be a great idea....

Another 48 Hrs.
Honestly, *exasperated sigh*
But didn’t he sign a new contract with a bigger release clause?If Utd end up paying close to the fee quoted in the summer, it will prove negotiating incompetence.
Factors supposedly in play:
1. Sporting are cash poor.
2. Sporting approached Utd.
3. Fernandes wants to leave.
4. Fernandes is not OGS top choice.
5. Fernandes’ contract has wound down a further 6 months.
6. Risk due to disparity between leagues.
Utd should be haggling over this out of sheer diligence. They need to correct the recent reputation of paying over the odds out of desperation (whether deserved or not). To be held over a barrel by a club desperate for money who are offering you their player would be incompetence.
European football and coefficient would prove you to be wrong.EPL is shit mate. Outside of Liverpool and City, and sometimes Leicester, our league is garbage.
Plus the quality of defenders has died a fecking death. City are playing Fernandinho there for feck sake.
So what do you disagree about what I said? If you see my comment history I try to not be biased at all in my opinions. Bruno Fernandes plays for one of the weakest sides Sporting has ever had, with no pressure at all and never performed on a good level in the National Team. It seems the deal is about to go through so we don't have to wait much to see if Bruno Fernandes is up to the standards of the Premier League.Getting an opinion from a benfica fan related to any sporting player when they never had a world class player coming from their ranks and only joke of players like Felix and sanches unlike Sporting with Figo and Ronaldo. I wouldn’t believe him too much what he said when Fernandes was one of the best players for sporting before they disbanded 2 years ago.
Yes he did sign a new contract. But SSN reported they brought down the price to 60million in this window. If this is right, it should be done and dusted now.But didn’t he sign a new contract with a bigger release clause?
He smashed a couple of doors down too!Some of the moaning in this thread is literally insane.

League having more than 4 teams would prove that wrong too.European football and coefficient would prove you to be wrong.

HmmmmmmmWalk away if Sporting are making things difficult. They are desperate to sell but we ain’t desperate to buy
Why should we pay €60m for a player that Sporting have been actively trying to sell? They want to sell him we're the only buyers, we are right to be digging our heels in and force the price down.Yes he did sign a new contract. But SSN reported they brought down the price to 60million in this window. If this is right, it should be done and dusted now.
The caf is 100% absolutely desperate to buy. Reckon many here would give them Old Trafford if Sporting asked for it .Walk away if Sporting are making things difficult. They are desperate to sell but we ain’t desperate to buy
Thanks I must be getting old.Evra made his debut against City and got pulled at HT when we were 2-0 down. I think Vidic made his debut after that. Cant recall.
He wouldn't get near their team.No,try again Sporting.
How about Chong ? he's in serious need of gametime.
