Too busy fecking up other areasWhy couldn't we have fekked this up in December?
At least then we would have had more time to feck up other transfers.
Joke’s on you, we’ve already implodedSporting CP desperately needing the money doesn't help them either.
If we don't get Bruno over a couple of million I hope they fecking implode.
It’s Friday mate, get on it and get a dirty kebab to end things offI've not got the right ingredients for my planned dinner tonight, I'm very stressed, not sure I'll have time to go shopping today either.
Oh you meant Bruno didn't you, no clue.
A bit more like Evra making a statement on United than Gary Neville tbhFutre was a product of the SCP youth system who he joined as a 9 year old. Abit like Gary Neville making a statement on United.
He’ll play. The coach confirmed it yesterday in the press conferenceIf the reports are true that he has asked not to be involved against Benfica tonight, then that is huge!
Interesting to see what happens tonight.
It's a shame the situation of the club is so bad at the moment. Feel for you as a fan - whilst we moan a lot here at least we are so rich we can keep throwing money at the problem to somehow stay relevant.Joke’s on you, we’ve already imploded
Its sad that such a massive club end up in this mess. What happened actually? I can see manutd follow suit in a decade at this rate.. Its really likely.Joke’s on you, we’ve already imploded
It is obviously a matter of level of expectation. I wouldn’t sign Fernandes at all if given the chance, and don’t expect him to translate anything like what he does in Portugal here. If he does, I’d be massively and pleasantly surprised, and if he doesn’t, then my personal investment in terms of expectation is already low.Why is that different from any other signing? I mean there's also always a scope for disappointment (hopefully not the case).
Haha MandalorianPfft, this is clearly done. It is known.
Yeah but that 16m is money Sporting get and then decide/are forced to use it elsewhere. The 16m is a cost Sporting need to spend regardless.Tweet

Good point. Strange breakdown. Sporting get around €51 M on their hands and will spend however they want. The fact that they MUST spend €16 M to restructure the debt has nothing to do with the estimation of their share in transfer money.Yeah but that 16m is money Sporting get and then decide/are forced to use it elsewhere. The 16m is a cost Sporting need to spend regardless.
So it’s a little misleading that, the 16m should be included in the Sporting money.
Game of Thrones. I have spoken!Haha Mandalorian
You mean our market, right? Or to be correct, our wage policy, because f. e. Mahrez or Mané are suposed to have only 120k a week. Kante is suposed to be 150k a week or Willian only with 120k per week. And those are proven players from Premier League, some of them players of the year with PL titles.The reported wages of £150k a week seem pretty reasonable in the current market.

Yeah but they're clubs that are being ran properly by football people and are on an upward trajectory.You mean our market, right? Or to be correct, our wage policy, because f. e.

Its just showing what they'd be left with and goes some way to explaining why they are pushing for the 65 or 70m.This is like deducting my mortgage repayments from my salary to make it look like I'm being paid less. Weird.
That is unrelated to the fee. You might as well add yearly wages for players into that too. There's no difference.Its just showing what they'd be left with and goes some way to explaining why they are pushing for the 65 or 70m.

So, no, I dont agree and this is one of our biggest problems. Average or not even average players like Lingard, Jones, Rojo, Lindelof, Young or Fred are over 100k a week, so we cant sell them for normal money, they have no reason to leave the club with those contracts and if we want to bring or keep some better players, we need to throw at them a lot of money, because they know how much money we pay to average players above. So we are in a circle of death and if we dont change this, it will eventually hunt us down in the future.
Btw I remember some time we (as a United fans) called out other clubs because better players chose them only because of they overpaid them - like Chelsea, ManCity, PSG, used to be Real or even before that some italian clubs. Time flies, doesnt it?

We're forced to use our financial strength in transfer negotiations due to our weakened position on the pitch. That other clubs take full advantage of that fact should come as no surprise to anyone. It doesn't help that Ed Woodward brags about it in the press either.You mean our market, right? Or to be correct, our wage policy, because f. e. Mahrez or Mané are suposed to have only 120k a week.

From the resources I can find Mahrez is supposed to be on £200k a week and Mane £150k with talks to raise him to £220k a week.You mean our market, right?

I think the latest news is that we have agreed with Bruno for contract term about 150k I believe. But we haven't reach an agreement with the fees. Sporting wants 65m pounds while we prefer 50m pounds. I think we should be able to wrap this one up end of this week with 60m pounds. If not, there is only one person to blame and I the fans can finally understand why we are doing so bad in transfer recently.So no new news regarding him? Have the Portuguese papers did a blinder again and convinced us he's joining like when he was signing for us in the summer?
I do hope he signs and hopefully he won't be injured tonight against Benfica either
If we end up paying 60M people will end up saying we overpaid and say Woodward is terrible at doing business..I think the latest news is that we have agreed with Bruno for contract term about 150k I believe.
