Don’t blame them really, we’ve been fed bs over the last 3-4 seasons

That would be the concern but also could be what's making nonsense seem plausible.
Can you imagine the shitstorm?
Ed would never be able to show his face at Old Trafford again.
You have to feel for the player. He puts in great numbers, has a clause in his early contract to help him get a new club, even removes that clause and still Sporting can't seem to negotiate a deal for him.
And there is what makes this look stupid. Theyd be paying around €70m for a player that theyd send on loan to another club, so they could in turn buy one of their players for €xxM. Why the hell would they do that instead of just offering more for Rodrigo?
Think about that
Ed doesn't give a feck if this is true or not.
He's been NOT conducting dealings for a number of transfer windows but just feeding us hope and playing about with the media as a tool.
Only a matter of time before protests start outside carrington.
Just feels like this one is dead. Quick, to the Slimani thread!
Whereas Spurs lose Erikson and move within hours to make Lo Celso permanent, and are buying Bergjwin who will probably be wrapped up in days.
Ed needs to feck off now

We sold young and we brought a or person in
Even at that, I don’t feel like his position is even remotely under threat. I could be wrong, mind you. My overarching feeling is that he’s fairly comfortable and even the growing dissent amongst the fans isn’t severe enough to remove him from his lofty position.
It really is infuriating.
Also dead. Wasn’t even alive.
Just had a look at Valencia's incoming transfers for 2019/2020 season. They bought 7 players in the summer with combined transfer fee of over 80m Euros. A possibility is that Barca is just helping Valencia circumvent FFP and Bruno will never play for Barca. Question is what does Barca gain out of it if that's the case. Maybe it's just Mendes pulling favors, he's quite renowned do that.
The only thing that will change anything is if the fans stopped purchasing tickets, season tickets, merchandise etc. Hit them where it hurts the most - if the money stops coming in, they know changes would need to be made.
Ed's had plenty of time and opportunity to wrap this up, now it's time for him to step aside and leave it to the big boys.

Still feel that the interest is fake, it seems so hurried and opportunistic where a 25-26 year old will play on loan at Valencia (a mid table club like United) for next season and then join Barca.
Honestly thinking from Bruno's perspective, he has no reason to be interested in such a deal. Just a haggling tactic from the player or Sporting to get the best price for their one and only bet to solve a financial crisis which is understandable. Would bet a million on him definitely not joining Barcelona.

Again not making nearly any progress after a month of negotiations...
IMHO not a hope.
Read the last paragraph on the next tweet. It says Varandas is ready to accept but if this Barca stuff is true he could still increase his demands.
........................and if i were Bruno i'd jump at any other offer from any other team and get rid of our pathetic club.
What an absolute mess this club is in.
Imagine its a Woodward PR spin....Barca are willing to offer more than the player is worth...we've pulled out!
Any excuse!
Part of me want's to see this happen. Only for it to be the strongest testament to date of our incompetence when it comes to planning and executing transfers. We were paperthin after the summer window, which was only underlined during the first half of the season. Ole has publicly decleared that we need players both in quality and quantity, he's also been backed to be the long-term solution. And THEN, we spend the entire january window chasing Bruno making us look like clowns whether we sign him or not.
If this does not make the right people realise that we are a sinking ship, then nothing will.
To Man Utd Bruno is a Knight, King and at the weekends maybe even a Queen. To Barca he is pawn....!
think if we say we will pay bonus if we finish in the top 10, Sporting will go for it.
Young wasn’t playing and was getting slated by fans. Did we expect him to stay
Sporting unsure if they can get the 10-15m in bonuses due to CL participation. Understandable. Let's see if they are happy with 0 instead.
Well they're not happy with 10-15 so go figure.
Turns out performance on the pitch does affect what happens off it. We're capable of doing things other teams would consider a nightmare
Because i suspect, if Barca loan them Bruno Fernandes, the Rodrigo deal will be a loan, with a small fee. Relative to what he would cost to buy
In the summer, Barca will then go big on a new striker
Yeah, I don't really give a shit if we get this done or not. I think, for wrong or right, Ed is trying to reestablish a hard line of negotiation for United after caving into the 80m for Magcuire and many other not so great deals where it felt like we are having to pay a premium in comparison to other clubs.
They'll find a buyer but it will be us having to be happy with 0. 0 trophies, 0 improvement and perhaps 0 signings.
At this point every player counts. We can't keep losing players. On the other hand we could have easily survived without a new PR person on boards
