Not sure if it's been covered yet in this thread yet... It doesn't seem very extensive, so just wondering if anyone has said if he is any good?

:lol: So dramatic some of you. I hate Ed as much as the next guy but as long as he’s signed before the deadline wtf is the problem?

We’ve dragged it out haggling, he’s got to at least try to do his job and sporting we’re pushing it.
Yes, but some results and injuries could be avoided by having Bruno and a couple of others, if not at the start of January, actually months ago, and we could have been in a much better position. The rebuild is massively substandard and has massive knock on effects both on the pitch and otherwise, and that is down to Ed’s ineptitude and his / the owners indifference to the football side of their ‘business’

Give over. We're paying what they asked for initially. It could have been done in an hour.
Not the initial price. 25m in bonuses, that's actually a masterclass from our negotiators. Win win for everybody.

That has to be a joke. More than half way through this video and he’s fecked up literally every touch he had there :lol: . Perreira level stuff

This is not accurate video of Bruno's matches yesterday, they didn't include every touch of Bruno in this video.

I bet he flops as this seems more of a typical Woodward signing rather than one Ole wanted, that could just be him not being brexit enough though

Probably been mentioned a zillion times already but the fact that Pochettino was interested in him for Spurs is also intriguing. It lends to the theory that Bruno Fernandes isn’t just an OGS only signing, but maybe the club as whole and a prospective new manager.

I look forward to seeing him providing this doesn’t completely feck up (which I would somewhat expect from this club)

Latest from Howard Nurse: 'Manchester United have signed Antonio Valencia from Wigan Athletic for a fee believed to be in the region of £16m'

How long have Sky had that he's agreed a deal with Barca on their yellow bar. If it's a choice between them an us we have no chance

Why are we trying to sign a number 10? We should be giving youngsters with potential like Lingard the chance to hold down the shirt!

Olé literally said that he was happy to let him go, so I have absolutly no idea what you are talking about and he left last day of english trasnfer window, so if he thought he will get someone as a replacement, he wouldnt be very smart but that probably didnt happen. He just (inconceivably) wasnt able to use him and with no experience at top level he just let him go without replacement and now it came back for him.
And being a legend as a player doesnt mean you have guilt free pass as a manager.

To stick with the topic, I would not buy anyone this transfer window, because this is his squad and he should prove himself with it. On the other hand, Bruno looks like a good football player and Spurs also wanted him in the summer (a.k.a Poche probably wanted him as well), so maybe we should do it anyway as a first signing for our future manager. :-)
Three of those players are "his".

What kind of nonsense is this?

If it gets done, you have to wonder why it wasn't done last summer. Would our season look different? Probably

This is a huge relief. Finally some genuine creativity from midfield.

It's not a done deal . Sporting have accepted bids from United and Barcelona.

This sums up how fecking useless them clowns are at transfer dealings . We could have had him weeks ago but we dick about and now he could very well choose Barca. Couldn't make it up

So now you believe it‘s actually 80m Euro?


‘’The initial fee will be around 55m euros (£47m) but add-ons could increase the overall cost to 80m euros.”
I mean, kind of. By reports, the 15m that will make it 80m are the unrealistic ones. I think ultimately we've met in the middle but everyone comes out happy.

So the Joel Glazer rumours must be false then? Interesting negotiating tactics from both sides

yeah but the 15m are unattainable, so 65m, which is 55m pounds
So United inserted 15m extra for no reason?

The 80m euro plan was to make United to increase their deal to get closed to 70m euro. It’s a common strategy for club. Leicester did similar thing when they asked for 90m on Maguire because our initial bid was 70m.
