Pace has fallen off a cliff from 90 to 81 since June. He has peaked :(
:lol: what’s that all about? Presumably balancing on Fifa? Kind of insulting to present him with that. Good job he’s a grown ass man

EA don't want to shoot their load this early in the season or else he'd be way overpowered as he continues to get more POTM/TOTW/POTY cards later in the season.

It's safe to say he really is carrying this club.

Also, can they stop with the FIFA cards. They're cringy.

Fabinho's forehead
it will always be worth mentioning: we have a poster on these boards who has said that Bruno is no better than Alexis. Let that sink in for a second.
The same person who THUNKed the ball into Lukaku's head? obviously that poster needs to get his eyes checked.

My definition of world class is someone who would get into a world XI, and imo this guy is our first world class player since RvP in 2012-13. Utterly sensational. He’d be one of the first names in the teamsheet in any team in the world, including the likes of Bayern and PSG. Love him. If he’s the one demanding a new contract at 200K per week, I say give him 250K to show him how much we love him. If we are to get back to the top soon, we’ll need him for the ride.

Bruno truly is world class. Where would be without him. He is everything Pogba should have been and more. Long may it continue for many years to come.

Is he going to become too big for the club?
What genuinely worries me is that we are showing a worrying 'spursification' (the old pre-Poch spurs) - dependency on a couple of stars to come good, unpredictable football, a worrying tendency to bottle it when it matters and a fanbase who are starting to settle for less. A whole generation of young United fans are soon going to know us an also-ran team (Take someone born in the 2000s like Sancho or Greenwood - I doubt they can even remember us winning the league) Maybe we've got to be as cnutish as the Real Madrid fans to force the board to do more or risk losing our best players. I know it sounds alarmist but we've seen it happen to Arsenal.

Is it far fetched to think that put this guy in the bayern side and your looking at a ballon dor player of the year contender or would he not be as effective as he wouldn't have everything revolving around him like it currently does at united?

Congratulations to Bruno. His effort and passion on the pitch is just amazing. I wish we had a couple of others like him.

Just seen someone suggest we would still be challenging for top4 without him. Madness.
Whoever suggested that, tell them that: we tried playing without Bruno recently against West Ham, for 45 minutes.
We lost that half 2-0.
He then came on in the 2nd half and we won that half 3-0.
It completely demonstrated how good Bruno is.

Thank god spurs didn’t seal the deal before us.
Had he gone to Spurs, this year's title would be theirs (and still may be).
Jose prefers to let attackers do their attacking, without any training. That's why he likes players in their prime and Bruno is now in his absolute prime.
Jose's problem with our young attackers was that they didn't quite know what to do and needed coaching/guidance, which he doesn't seem to give.

It's been a while since I waxed lyrical about one of our own players, but I am very happy to be saying these things about one of our players.

Yep, it’s nice. Although I don’t think Woodward and judge deserve much credit because we should have signed him 6 months sooner.

That's just ridiculous, yet fully deserved. What a player he is this Bruno.

Already equalled Ronaldo and Henry's POTM awards and he hasn't even been here for a full year :lol:

It's even better when you consider that from March to June league was stopped.

Usually we have 2 month break, in 2020 we had 4 if I'm not wrong. He didn't play in Jan and then he started late in September.

Good on him, he genuinely wanted to come here and follow in Ronaldo footsteps as well (hopefully not to Madrid :wenger:)

Amazing news, i think it is also a record for the most POTM awards in a calendar year!

Did Ole win MOTM?

Real life FIFA on cheat mode. Bruno Fernandes is the biggest mid-season impact signing in Premier League history. Honestly, possibly football history.

Are there any other examples of a player leaving a club mid-season to completely transform a team the way Bruno has? Time for a bumper contract Ed.
