May be it collapsing was the breakthrough.
People are already upset over how the club is run, for reasons far more important than Bruno Fernandes. They are also already upset about our lack of urgency in the transfer market this month considering how depleted our squad is. A story about this deal potentially breaking down just compounds that feeling.
Yeah, that's why you can get reasonably upset over actual things wrong with the club, not over a made up story from the Sun.
It’s weird because they’re signing everyone
We clearly don't think he's average, or we wouldn't be interested at all. If we've got this far, it's because someone at the club rates him. Someone who knows more about football than some weasel-faced American business man.
Just every United player. They some sort of MUFC tribute act at the moment.
It could just be that they are sure that they will sell him either now or summer. It doesn't mean they are necessarily going to sell to United.
He cost 7m and apparently they have a deal with a bank that they can pay it back in the summer
So you're upset that we are not signing someone who isn't a long term target? Isn't signing pure crap one factor that has got us into this mess?
Whilst true, he is clearly one of the best players in that league
Why does that matter?

In keeping with cheesy names for tribute acts, they’re calling themselves Man Disunited
It's in the nature of negotiation that you get a better deal when you are in a position of strength, and a worse deal when weak.
Do you dislike Ed that much?
What? The only obvious thing is that we are refusing to pay the money that Sporting demand. Why that is the case could be for any of a few reasons.
The problem is that we are a club that is desperate for quality and we have money and we approach transfers like a shotgun scatter blast. Throw out a bunch of names and try to land one. The only way to stop the cycle is to recruit correctly and be decisive, be a sniper riffle 1 shot = 1 kill. If Ole and our scouts believe that a particular player is "the right player". then we need to pay whatever it takes to get that player right then and there. Not haggle until he goes elsewhere and then we are stuck overpaying for our 2nd and 3rd options, and paying a salary they aren't worth - right now we have a bunch of 2nd and 3rd options on 1st choice money. When you have a team full of the right players you are no longer a "desperate club" that has to pay over the odds. The right players means success and successful clubs arent desperate
That's brilliantThis was his best work.
You mean " We can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can't " Ed?
Yeah my feeling too.
And Fred gets us enough Field Goals.
You actually believe this crap? Funny how today reports come out that it’s not Ed’s fault?
Koppites Biblical excerpt from Plechazunga is for me still the finest piece of comedic writing in sports of all time.
they need to sell but they received only 1 legit offer during the summer and refused it, and now they offered us the player but won't budge off the evaluation price. Just my opinion, but it doesn't sound like a club that has to sell a player, more like if they can get great value they will.
We only sign white players. Like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Bailly, Martial etc.
He's obviously talking about needing to sign more attractive players to be the face of the club, stunners like Maguire
