Still feeling confident?
Sporting chairman if we lose this
Why would he come here?
Honestly I'd rather stay at sporting and angle a move elsewhere.

Excatly my thoughts, if he came here he would be going backwards in his career. We are toxic and he would do much better elsewhere
Well if there was ever a reason to suggest paying the extra was justified it’s this shite performance we are currently producing at OT
In that case nobody'll sign for United, get a bloody grip.Not if we overpay and give his agent the control to move him on when he feels like it
We don't have any money, I've been saying it for a while. That's why we're desperate for the instalments.
Who cares?
Every club pays in installments, rarely is the full amount paid up front.
Well done Ed, his value just went up again.
Honestly I don't think we should spend any money in this transfer window. There is no way Ole is our manager next season so the last thing we need to do is spend £60m on a player who our next manager might not fancy at all.
If you was a player that was good enough for a regular champions league quality team there's no way you'd come here.
United have zero pulling power anymore.
The rumour is that Bruno is Poch’s choice! We shall see
Only one week to go and we have just lost 2 games in a row. Can see us now going full panic mode and splashing 80m on him, as I predicted earlier. Let's see what Ed will do.
+10M
I honestly dont know how good this guy is, but there is no way hes as bad as our current options. 90% of our attacks end up out wide because there is zero penetration through the middle
Forget this transfer or any transfers for that matter.
Get an agreement in for the new manager, choose what players he needs and get them early in the summer for next season on agreements.
We are just going to panic buy at the end and I feel this will drag out and fail.

Don't want him anymore. Just paper over the grand canyon sized cracks. Glazers out. Woodward out. Then Ole out. And then we can start being a proper club again.
The club is dieing. Bring on the Saudis. We don't need them to invest a penny. Just clear the debt and let us pay our own way. No more dividends and bank interest payments. Our money goes on the football. Not Glazer scum.

Woodward will likely sanction this now.
Gets some of the attention away from him and Ole.

Him alone won't save us.
We need more than just him. But it’ll be a start.
If I were him i'd wait for someone else to come in for me in the summer. What on earth would attract any decent player in their prime here!?
At this stage, we'd be very lucky just to get him.
Hes been up for sale since last Summer with no takers.
I’ve been a huge muppet the last 6 years hoping the next signing will be the one to change things, but after this season I’ve realised signings will only go so far to change our situation, much bigger changes are needed from Ole upwards, I’m no longer excited about Bruno, I’m normally an optimist but I can’t do it anymore.
Think that's partly down to fair play restrictions on a lot of clubs for whom his cost is a significant one. Think there'll be more takers in the summer once they've been lifted.
Exactly my thoughts. Ole is not good enough and United is not a training wheels club. Get a proper coach and do rebuild properly.
This. When you are left with Shaw and Lingard to chase a scoreline, we will need more than Bruno.
Even when Ole said we are working on one or two signings he didn't look at all hopeful. I think this is dead and has been for a while.
Unfortunately, we can't even do that as deals we make drag through months sometimes a whole year.
I have serious basis to believe Poch or any new manager will be in for a rude awakening, perhaps in first months of their reign.
Any player with an ounce of common sense would avoid this club like the plague right now. At least, if they want to progress as competent footballers. The only reason any player would come here is for the money.
He might have second thoughts.
No point buying a play maker if when he gets the ball there is no movement ahead of him, tonight at times you could see when they had the ball, it's sideways cause there's no movement, ball to feet and nothing ahead of him moving, at times there was statute's in knock moving more than our forwards.
That's the other issue. He will have to keep shooting from distance as no one is going to bother moving for him. We'd need to bring in someone for him to pass to as well.
I'd rather sign nobody and things get so bad they sell the club. No more papering over cracks. We sign Bruno and we will be back in same trouble in 12 months anyway. Club is rotten.
Saudis in and if you don't like it then feck off to FC United. I'll take Saudis over these blood sucking twats anyday of week.

Gary Neville said it the other day - we need 5 or 6 players. He's spot on. Bruno would be a great start. We desperately need a striker this window too, I think we saw today how toothless we could potentially be for the rest of the season. We need someone decent too, not just another body. Surely, surely, surely this board has to spend now.
