I don’t believe it’s happening anymore, but it’s proper conspiracy theory stuff to suggest there was nothing to this rumour this month. But you’re never going to change your mind on that for some reason.
Bruno Fernandes | Signed

Seems this will get done. Reports that Judge has gone to Lisbon and Castles saying we have upped our offer to €55m.
All seems to point towards this getting wrapped up Monday/Tuesday.

Assuming we do land Bruno Fernandes, which we have no idea will even happen, then it's been a very underwhelming transfer window again
The squad needs some major work and at the the pace Ole/Woodward are working on it, we should be challenging in 2030

After our competition is annihilated by the Wuhan virus we should walk to our next title
If we land him it's one more player than I expected us to get, which shows how low the expectations are. We needed 2-3 at least this window, but the way this club seems to operate, that was asking for a miracle.
Aubameyang has been fantastic for years, and arguably Arsenal has been a well monied step down for him.
It's a period of adaptation man, it's normal even we as normal guys change jobs.
Yeah it's a fast paced league, we know, but people take it out of context and exaggerate it a lot. We need a creative number 10 and people are thinking about Maddison or the other guy because they're PL proven when, as players, other than a good shot and FK they're pretty useless.
I think you know what I mean. We use the PL proven term to overrate the feck out of the british players.
When you think about it, we needed 6-7 new players last summer, as crazy as it sounds. Bruno, as good as he is, is one player and won't impact our struggling team that much tbh.
I've always thought that our club negotiating for one player at the time was some made-up fantasy but it just seems so true.
It's taken a week to do that.
I guess we'll do the usual of paying the original price on deadline day.
All it would take to change my mind is quoted source close to the club or a source that doesn't trace back to a newspaper that has a long history of making things up.
What would it take for you to change your mind that this story ever had legs?
A single story backed by a good source is better than a million stories backed by shitty sources. You seem to have got sucked into wishful thinking.
Everything about this saga sums up the club right now. Laughable.
Maybe United are leaving it late as possible so fans won't be asking for more signings.
Get it done on deadline day and fans will be like "Yay, Fernandes!"
Do it two weeks ago and fans will be like "Great...get a striker now."

So, like the BBC?
Getting a player like Bruno is not an underwhelming Jan window. If it was Maddison or Grealish people would be saying how well we did to nab a teams best player in Jan. Bruno is just that just not in the PL. Everything we need in that position and it’s class to fill it in a known difficult window. We’d have been way better off over the last 6 years if we got in only one player every summer who beyond doubt fixed that position for 6-7 years.
What's the story and what's the source for the story? The BBC are are a media company whose employees vary in the quality of what they report.
We'd break the Jan window record fee if we get this done. Think it's about 30 million
Didn't liverpool pay 75 in the Jan window for Van Dijk?
Aubameyang breakout season was his 2nd season with st etienne where he finished 2nd top scorer behind Zlatan. He was 24, same age as Bruno when he won his 1st Primera Liga POTY. Aubameyang then went to Dortmund and eventually Arsenal as their transfer record fee. Arsenal may have regressed but being EPL top 4 (at that time) transfer record breaker sure worth something for him.
But if you want to continue putting down Bruno, it's your prerogative.
Andy Carroll cost Liverpool 30m in January. Chelsea paid 50m for Torres in the same window.
and didn't we spend about 40mil on Mata in January too?
Coutinho was signed in Jan window.
How many more replies do you need for this to be disproven?
Also according to the press, Alexis Sanchez cost about £100m even though he was actually free
Sanchez wasn't free. We bought him for £30m
Wasn’t it a straight swap for Mkhrifhdk?
Calm down and you act like I've been arguing with multiple replies, I've not done once.
I heard the record would be broken via Bruno reports, might've been Sky or some other reporter, it's not my theory, not sure if it's by English clubs. Obviously Coutinho smashes it and so should VVD and that's Southampton to Liverpool..
Looking at the records it would only be in the top 10.
Pulisic, Aubameyang and Laporte are probably going to be higher than the alleged Bruno's fee for English clubs buying abroad.

Yes it was. Mkhitaryans value was 30 million but no money changed hands.
Don't you know, no one ever buys anyone in January?
Another of football's biggest myths.
If we do end up getting him and we have paid a stupid amount of money I will be just as annoyed as if we didn’t get him. If we are genuinely interested how can you take an entire window to get the deal over the line? Woodward is a joke.
This
Sure these were the exact words on the first week of January
Been saying it every few days. With no actual sources.
Yip. There will be a bad feeling because 1. we could have used him in January and 2. actually getting it done early would allow us to attempt to get someone else in.
BrunOFF? New contract for lingard? All because he has picked a shot and scored in a mud bath!
Reality... he should be sold to a Greek team so he can have more mud baths. And the benefit of a goal scoring AM should trigger Woodward to come the fcuk on!
Edit....
BrunON, Lingard contract off...
Fluffed a great chance, not good enough...until the next goal when Woodward will announce the new contract!
