Another transfer about to come bumbling across the finish line.
Fair play Woodie, well done.

Sky Sports News reporting on a piece of news before anyone else would count as breaking the story (if it turns out to be true). They have a reporter in Lisbon who is listening out for any information, and this is his report. That is how journalism works. They listen out for what is being said and report on it. If they are right, then they broke the story.
Not saying that the news from Sky is necessarily true mind, Im just saying that neither they nor Utd Report did anything to deserve a ban from the forum in this case.
Doesn't seem very fitting for a number 10/CAM.
Give him 18 considering Young is gone now.
I think Rashford might deserve the number 7 next season and give Bruno the number 10.
Bless you.
We won't sign anyone else.
Possibly, I quite like Rashford as 10 though, not sure why. As others have said, Mata's not here much longer so we could give Bruno the 8 once Mata's left.
I never thought we’d even sign one to be fair, we’ve exceeded my low expectations!
Pretty sure Rashford wanted the ten
Yes but it won't stop the false links and false hope.
They are already banned for the exact reasons that I mentioned.
He would have deserved the 7, but I think he prefers the 10?
If so, no one should take the 10 from Rashford.
He must be deep undercover on assignment investigating Woodward's links to a shady organised crime family operating out of Florida. Next season Woody will be exposed as 'H'- you heard it here first
Anybody else still feeling like it'll all suddenly come crashing down? I have serious muppet fear with this one

nah, this is as easy as they come. player wants to join, not much other competition from other clubs, reasonable fee, position we need. it's a guarentee.
That's 100% what's happening. It's been obvious since day 1.
The same can be said for other 'reputable' journalists. They're only human beings. They follow the story and rely on the sources they can find - even if those sources are shit when it comes to Portuguese football. When that happens, they get things wrong.
Woodward's gone all out to make this press briefing look like a legit transfer.
Yep, very sure that's the number he'll get. It's also Scholes' number and it would instantly force me to buy that shirt next season.
nah, I'm good. I just feel Sporting drags this one out for way too long, but it'll get done.Anybody else still feeling like it'll all suddenly come crashing down? I have serious muppet fear with this one
God no.
I like the 7 shirt where it is—unused. That shirt is kessed I say. Kessed.
Wouldn't want to foist such a burden on our poor de Bruno.
Well, unless alone in the dressing room at the midnight hour, he sights an eery glow accompanied with a whisper in English with a slight Scottish accent saying, "Hither, step, accept your destiny".
He then heeds the call and approaches the cabinet and lightening strikes as he takes hold of the shirt releasing a tremendous power surge through the dressing room as he collapses to the ground.
He is sighted by the janitor the next day and is revived in time and goes on to fulfill his destiny and derail the Scousers in their bid for a second consecutive title.
He gives us many years of service and retires fulfilled having lifted the CL, PL and FA trophies.
The end.

Gone quiet.
And people said we were getting carried away...
Yep. That's what i was thinking. Though Bruno might want nr 8.
so does he play the derby - any news from Portugal?
He's in the squad.
It's fair enough saying he is an idiot but, for example, on Maguire was he one or not? Depends on the perspective, United got the player but only because they overpayed.
And thats my point about the winter market, if it's not gonna be a ridiculous offer, it's not worth screwing over the whole season.
Absolutely, a big part of me is really expecting that to happen.Anybody else still feeling like it'll all suddenly come crashing down? I have serious muppet fear with this one
Been burned too many times...
Muppet fever is a terrible thing.
Can't wait for the announcement.
Of course he could crash and burn with us but what's life without a little muppetry.
When I lose excitement on the prospect of new signings, then I'd know my football watching days are over.
I'm going to Burnley game so I'm hoping it's his debut. Would be great if he rattles one in from 20 yards too. I'm sure he'll be trying if he's signed by then.
Worst chant ever.
Gaitan.
Doesn't even Rhyme
Not meant as a chant. My bad. My formatting is all over the place.
Good God, that would make a terrible chant
Yeah you don't know Bruno as a player at all if you think he'll give anything below 100%. If it's his last game he'll give a lot more than that.
He's our captain, he plays for the shirt and it's a derby. We're not some random club he's at to get a move to a bigger club.
That's not the same at all. Bruno is a lot more important to us than Pogba is to United, we don't have a chance without him. It would be the equivalent of the club giving up on the game before it even starts and it would be the single most embarassing decision the club has made and they've done a lot of those throughout the years. We're already missing Vietto and Coates who are two of our most important players and we're not a rich club who have good substitutes to our starters, our depth is really bad.
We're fan owned, the president gets elected. The culture is different than a club like United, they can't afford to do something like that to the fans. I'd geniunely be scared for the president's safety if he had sold him before the game or refused to play him in order to not put the transfer in jeapordy. Bruno himself would never allow that to happen either.
£43 million is pretty low. He is the biggest player in the league. How far Bruno is from being Portugal’s biggest star? Guys from Portugal, can you enlighten?
