Weird. His shooting technique/ability is easily his best attribute and hes a good dribbler. Its literally the rest of his game that is hard to say what level he's at.

In a nutshell, he’s clueless.
They could have arrived in England determined to get a deal done for him. If the rumours are true that Sporting desperately need the money, they can't put all their eggs in one basket.
I doubt that as we have been strongly linked with him before and we will lose Eriksen
Hijacking the deal would be such a Jose move.
Any transfer is a gamble so I'll hold my thoughts on his merits but the fact that various "swap" deals are being mentioned is making me sceptical that this is anything more than the standard "value in the marketplace" exercise Woodward does when he wants to look active but is actually shuffling his feet.
Swapping players when it involves them moving to another country is a long and involved process and requires immense amounts of goodwill from the players concerned.
Given Woodward seems to generate very little goodwill and manages to piss off even the most loyal of players then I doubt he can make a swap happen.
If we are serious about buying him then do the deal and negotiate about the other player separately.
If we start to see leaks about agent demands in the next 24 hours then you can bet Woodward has managed to f this one up as well.

This guy would definitely make a difference if we could get him now, but I can't see it happening. It should have been done in the summer.
My question is, whilst Bruno scores and assists a high amount, albeit in inferior league, would he help us break down the low block teams we struggle against?
Who is Grealish? No big clubs are after that nobody. Meanwhile Spurs and Madrid were interested in Bruno. This is the perfect signing.

Given he is a very good passer and a goal threat from distance. I think he will help, he wont fix everything but he will help.
65 plus add ons. Get it done!!!!
Hell 70!!! Just get it done!

It's better to lose the ball in the final third, that is true. But we will often lose the ball in the build-up due to PP and BF needing to drop deep to help out. MCT and our fullbacks(Shaw and AWB in particular and Williams plays with high risk himself) are not capable of bringing the ball safely and consistently into the final third alone.
We still need another midfielder and Grealish could still be a target in the summer if they get relegated .
Id say so given he's both a threat on shots and can pass good. Dream signing for me type-wise. He's a De Bruyne (light) type of player. Think he can do more with the ball than Maddison too
To play where?
We badly need to sign someone this January if only for morale.
Poor you all summer child's, you fell for it again.
The meltdown if jose pulls that offFirst time in my life I read from thread 1 to 26.. Been zip unzipping my pants as I read thru. Come on, just do it Ed!
Ole going to come short again 
Has there actually been any genuine, credible link to Spurs or is it just Caftards going nuts again?
So like in the summer then Sporting are just doing the rounds looking for takers, wouldn't surprise me if there's still no real interest from us
It’s either Sporting are trying to put pressure on us to get it done or neither club are interested everything we’ve seen is bullshit.
It could be a great signing, but would Woodward really give Ole a lot of money to sign this guy when his future is quite uncertain?
Bruno is a signing any manager would make, and we need to move beyond the idea of one manager dictating transfer policy.
Where Fred is today
Just get this done now. Someone like van de Beek + Sancho and Poch in the summer and suddenly things would look completely different.
As much as it pains me to say it Solskjaer is going nowhere.
Fred is far from a problem
It's clear and briefed that the manager no longer has full control over transfers in order to stop the constant clear outs of the past 6 years every time we switch manager.
Ole now has a vote only, and a veto.
Can fans please finally start understanding this, since the Summer is it the club that now make transfers, not the manager.
Fred is one of our best performers every week.
Bruno would clearly play advanced, if we're even interested.
When he's fit it also isn't permanent.
Pogba's spell with us has been marked by injuries, inconsistency, and rumours of his exit.
To trust the whole creative process of the team in one such player is just plain stupid, as proved by the 1st half of the season.
Yes, I am sure that it was Woodward/the club who insisted on spending 80m on Maguire.
One touch? Combination play?
I wasn’t talking about Bruno position
It would make sense if we had a DOF. Since we don't this means the team is being built mostly by Ed Woodward.
Still not good enough though.
He is good enough.
