If he does for 40m, that will be dodgy as feck.If he goes to Barcelona it will be for around 40 million so why should we pay more than other clubs would ?

That only applies to the player's contract not the transfer fee.Because we are less attractive. You have to overpay when you're no good.
No way. The narrative would be ”Bruno wanted Barca” and Ed did all he could.I almost wish it were true because the pressure on the club would be so gargantuan that Ed would need to go.
Hmm. So apparently he did want out 2 years ago O_o. How is he still there?Feel sorry for the lad he should have jumped ship like the rest of them when fans stormed the dressing room.
Would like to have seen him at Old Trafford to bolster the squad but it’s been dragged out so long there if possibly no truth in it at all.
Here’s hoping thou
Suddenly reminds me of the time when we signed Kleberson, people said he was supposed to be friend of Ronaldinho and that's why we bought him for, to convince Ronaldhino to come and help him to settle etc. Needless to say, we failed to buy Ronaldinho at the end, and Kleberson also becomes a flop too.Hang on... So Barca are going to pay out a lot of money for a player, just to loan him to another club as part of a deal for yet another player?
Does anyone actually see the logic in that? This is, in my opinion, utter rubbish being put out to try and scare United into speeding things up, or upping our bid. I really can't see why Barca would buy a player they don't really need just to include him in a deal for another player?
It's this. Sporting want to sell, lighting a fire under us as time ticks away.This smells like an agent game.The ball is with Mendes not with us.
The problem with that tactic is we don’t want a dealIt's this. Sporting want to sell, lighting a fire under us as time ticks away.
If this happens, the 75000 people in Old Trafford will be screaming for Woodward's and the Glazers' heads this weekend. Bloody wankers. Words won't be able to describe how most of us would feel. What in the feck have we got ourselves into? Who would want to come in to manage us next time once Ole inevitably is asked to leave with this shithouse of a squad?Tweet

Scenes when he becomes one of the best playmakers in Europe at Barca as we drop 120m on James Maddison
Yep, they think we are just playing hardball but we aren't even playing the same gameThe problem with that tactic is we don’t want a deal
poor showing from united for not paying up.Poor Bruno. He wanted the move for over a year and he’s still stuck in Portugal. Poor showing from Sporting who has been playing hard ball and not granting his move but I can understand he’s their biggest asset
Absolutely fantastic.
Reminds me of my monopoly tactics.Yep, they think we are just playing hardball but we aren't even playing the same game
Trouble is, I can see this happening. Another massively overpriced and overrated English player.Scenes when he becomes one of the best playmakers in Europe at Barca as we drop 120m on James Maddison
Or - «he looses possession too much, Matic is way better»if he joins Valencia/Barca
Watch us brief the press "we were never interested, just agent noise"
Why not? He would still joining a better club and a better league for 6 months with more to play for, before joining a European giant.Why would Bruno want to go and play for Valencia over us? I know it’s on loan but still. He isn’t going to appreciate being farmed around like that.
I think it's quite obvious that United will drop more money on Maddison,maybe even Grealish,that they're willing to on Fernandes.Scenes when he becomes one of the best playmakers in Europe at Barca as we drop 120m on James Maddison
The club would still have a debt. All they would gain is they wouldn't have to pay his wages. I Think it is all only playing us, so as we pay up.Why would Bruno want to go and play for Valencia over us? I know it’s on loan but still. He isn’t going to appreciate being farmed around like that.
Very soon no club or player is going to entertain Woodward and Judge's advances on transfer negotiations, we are losing credibility as a footballing institution at an alarming rate. Even Liverpool at their worst didn't descend to such comical levels.Yep, they think we are just playing hardball but we aren't even playing the same game
More like how quick Sporting stop asking for silly moneyAbsolutely fantastic.
What we'll see now is how fast a club can conclude a simple transfer.
I feel like this is more optimistic than thinking we're gonna sign Bruno.Ed would need to go.
Because we've shown we clearly don't fancy him enough. We've messed him around all window, low balled the club with stupid offers.Why would Bruno want to go and play for Valencia over us? I know it’s on loan but still. He isn’t going to appreciate being farmed around like that.
It's all a spoof.Why would Barca pay 50 million for a 25 year old that they would then loan out.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. You don't hold grudges over multiple millions of euros, they're not idiots.Because we've shown we clearly don't fancy him enough. We've messed him around all window, low balled the club with stupid offers.
Sporting have probably said screw you and let Valencia have him for less.
Yes but everyone knows Utd are desperate and the Utd tax adds 10-20 mill on.That only applies to the player's contract not the transfer fee.
