Bruno Fernandes: Manchester United Player

[westmeath]

This is so not happening.... (please lock the thread now)

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Have we finally got a good set piece taker as well? We can dream.....

 

[SATA]

Good question. We literally don’t have Lisbon in our name so I don’t know why it is used. Every Sporting fan for the most part hates that people outside of Portugal say that.

I’m not very sure but is your club or stadium based in Lisbon?

 

[Shimo]

Yay ! Be nice to have options in midfield as we were desperate. Just hope we can get a striker on loan too before the window shuts.

 

[Ian Reus]

Lovely. Now where to camp for the final 2 days of the transfer festival?

 

[Sultan]

Can we please fix the title of this thread? Sporting is not and has never been “Sporting Lisbon” Lisbon is not even in our name....... can we at least get the name of the club right please?

Sporting Clube De Portugal OR Sporting CP OR just Sporting.

We are not “Sporting Lisbon”.

Done! Apologies for our ignorance.

 

[Mr. Meeseeks]

Its about time

 

[Sassy Colin]

Spoiler: Brilliant

 

[Ranchero]

He is match fit and according to the reports a very confident guy who won't be intimidated by the move. One benefit is we are about to start the Winter break so he will have a few days to settle into the area and then an extended training camp with his teammates to help him get on the same page. I am confidently predicting he will dominate fat Frank and the Chelsea chavs in our first game back from the break.

Heart says we play him on Saturday. He is match fit. And is better than what we have got. I mean if Lingard or Pereira is in front of him I will go mad.

However head says you throw him on for the last half hour.

That's a great design.

Which Tier are these jokers? Not sure if I believe it.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Can't see it happening

 

[SportingCP96]

Well TIL, I will now refer to you guys as Sporting CP.

I appreciate it! It’s just a respect thing you know. In my opinion at least.

 

[M Bison]

Well done Ed

Never knew that. I've ignorantly always referred to the club as Sporting Lisbon. I'll have to break that habit.

Me too. It's literally the first time I've ever heard this pointed out.

Thanks for filling us in - I'll scrap adding the "Lisbon" from now on.

Well, we took the long way to get there but we got there in the end. Welcome to Manchester Mr Fernandes.

 

[Raw]

Get in lads. Some actual fecking creativity in midfield!

 

[Amarsdd]

I expect Bruno to have a similar progression at United to Fred in regards to getting used to the pace of the EPL i.e. won't be the best this season or the first couple of months into the next season before we start seeing the best of him. The Euros in the summer doesn't help in that regards. Hopefully fans will be patient (ofcourse they won't, cue no better than Lingard, championship level player, 80M flop etc comments as early as the first of his matchday threads)

 

[SportingCP96]

I’m not very sure but is your club or stadium based in Lisbon?

Of course but the name of the club is Sporting Clube De Portugal. Benfica for example have Lisbon in there name but no one says Benfica Lisbon. I prefer just Sporting as for the most part that is what is said in Portugal.

 

[thomas porter]

ROOSTERS OUT!

 

[Smashin]

Done! Apologies for our ignorance.

Thank you, for changing the tittle thread!
But you forgot the post itself...

 

[diarm]

At this stage I'm half expecting us to announce Gaitan tomorrow.

 

[SportingCP96]

Done! Apologies for our ignorance.

Thank you! I don’t even know how the whole Sporting Lisbon thing started to be fair but it is a common misconception about our name.

 

[RedCurry]

Remain healthy please

 

[Mibabalou]

Glad this is done and we can have some sort of attacking creativity as well.

Great work rate either way and a half decent tackler, I think he will contribute more defensivly than most realize.


Best XI imo right now if everyone was fit. 433 / 4231

Martial
Rashford ------------- Greenwood
Bruno
Pogba ---- McT
Williams - Lindelof - Slabhead - AWB
DDG

​

This is a much better XI than weve used all season, im still skeptical of making top 4 with no Pogba or Rashford but already looking better for me.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Great news.

Yeah agreed, he will benefit from this. I hope he starts well to take some pressure off him.

 

[SportingCP96]

Never knew that. I've ignorantly always referred to the club as Sporting Lisbon. I'll have to break that habit.

Most outside of Portugal do for some reason and it is a pet peeve among all Sporting fans as they all hate it.

I usually just say Sporting.

 

[Godfather]

Good shit

 

[mav_9me]

Phew...that was close.

I had declared to my family and friends that I would not be watching Manchester United again this season if we did not buy a midfielder.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Brilliant.

Can't wait to see Ole's face tonight when they finally ask him one more time the poor lad's been getting very frustrated by it all.

 

[USREDEVIL]

Remain healthy please

Supposed to have a good health record. Keep him away from jones ffs.

Sporting Clube De Portugal OR Sporting CP OR just Sporting.

We are not “Sporting Lisbon”.

English speakers have an innate need to associate sports franchises with cities or neighbourhoods.

 

[momo83]

Decent price. Most the add ons are if we win league and CL...

 

[Catt]

Welvome, Bruno! Lets do this!!

 

[Catt]

Decent price. Most the add ons are if we win league and CL...

The club would be extatic if it comes to that and they have to pay up.

 

[KChucky88]

Excellent signing

Thank you guys! It’s like someone not calling you by your name, me and most Sporting fans always felt that it’s a disrespect to the club and it’s history.

Also considering United have done business with us many times I wanted it cleared up with the fans here in the CAF.

I guess but once again Benfica are not called Benfica Lisbon even though that would be more appropriate considering Lisbon is in the clubs name. So if Sport Lisboa e Benfica is called Benfica then Sporting Clube De Portugal should just be called Sporting or the Other shortened version mentioned.
