Fact we've heard literally nothing today makes my inner muppet very sceptical again.

Guys we are gonna win the league
Portuguese media is absolute trash and unless we hear from more reliable sources, it's safe to assume that it's just local press trying to build up interest in a player in whom actually there is little interest.
Discount as in less good or a bargain find for the same?
Ole says right player for the right value we'll pounce on it.
Feels like we could walk away over 5-10 million. We probably have a set price and won't budge a penny more and get involved in a fake or real bidding war.

Bollocks. You are talking about the club that just paid £80m for Maguire just 5 months ago.
So how effective could below line up be?
McT
Pogba Bruno
James Rashford
Martial
Enough to consistently smash bottom 10 teams?

We paid £90m for Pogba.
I just came on to check this and saw ‘rumours starting again’ - Despite knowing this has been the thread title all along, I was immediately disappointed and thought there were rumours that he was starting for Sporting tonight.
I can’t wait to relive that disappointment again in 3 minutes.

No it doesn't. Woodward admitted that he leaves it to the football people.
You know paying high for one player might affect the next one and I'm quoting Ole here about the right price.
If Sporting want 80 million I doubt we'd be paying it.
Longstaff is 50 million we said no thanks. If Bruno is 80 million we might say no thanks. Probably the reason Bruno is still at the club is because many who have looked have a certain fee and Sporting want more. Many have asked how is he still there if you've followed this one. So no it's not bollocks and your example of paying 80 million is poor logic to say we'll just outbid or pay over the odds anytime, that's probably bollocks more like.
They also want to sell. We're probably in the 50-60m range while they're in the 60-70+m range and it's easily possible either party might walk away.

Starting tonight.
Not happening then I’d assume
Got to say his goodbyes
Time we ban all Portuguese sources from here
Let’s see if he cries when the game is over.
Let's see if he gets subbed off and cries and looks sad
Not convinced that we're going to sign anyone in this window. Even less convinced that we'll go for Bruno. Personally, I would like to see him come here and feel that he would improve us.
Im quite sure that getting Fernandes is the first step of selling Pogba next summer.
But hopefully we can experience that until then !
Him playing doesn’t really mean anything. Let’s see what his manager says after the game/his reaction after the game.
That's not positive at all imo. Sounds more like an excuse for not getting players in. We have the funds but the right player wasn't available...
Bad news for the muppets
Why does it matter if he plays tonight? He is a sporting player until someone buys him
Yeah I was talking about just this season as I’m also sure Pogna will be off.
Am hoping the above is enough to sneak above Chelsea into top 4 or be able to win Europa.
Obviously in case he get a major injury which would derail the transfer
True but if the transfer was so close as some news led us to believe, I don't think he would have played tonight
I think Fred as the anchor would be more potent for attacking the bottom 10 teams. Just need a quality right winger on top of Bruno. Sancho and Bruno would really complete our attack
This whole thing is a re-run of the Summer.
Expect a series of links to Real Madrid in due course.
The transfer whoring from Sporting is so predictable.

Think yesterday was critical to the deal happening, fact he’s starting today makes me think this is OFF! But I am a very negative muppet at times.
True, but usually if a deal is close to being done both parties agree the player in question doesn’t play as there’s a risk of injury potentially scuppering any deal.
There were reports that the agent and sporting want the deal closed yesterday before the night ends. The fact he's playing today means he's gonna be on sportings books until he gets a conclusion to his future.
I recon it was never on. It all sounds like made up bullshit. If it was ever on, it should be the easiest transfer ever.
Odds have drifted back to 2/5 on from 2/7 yesterday. Spurs cut to 4/1. I thought this was going to happen, but don’t think so now.
For sure less good. KDB is a superior player and that’s not a question.
That’s not to say that Bruno is a bad player but KDB is an elite player.
It will hurt even more if he ends up signing for someone else like Spurs 
Surprised he is starting considering the state of the opponent. Thought maybe he'd be on the bench at best.
