What's our history with Sporting players like? Asking for a friend.
Crap. We're better with Unsporting ones, like Keane who snapped everybody and Herrera who tired opponents out by letting them carry him off the pitch.

And thanks to Keane we didn't get Haaland.
Yeah, because Roy Keane is the reason we didnt get Haaland. :rolleyes: Not the fact we are pretty sh*t, the club's run by complete clowns, and his agent is that virus Riaola.

Apparently this isn't going to happen because Robbie Keane ended his dads career

So of course everyone is going to watch this game and be absolutely panic stricken everytime a Benfica player goes near him. :lol:

That's an obvious pressure tactic from Sporting. We obviously don't want him to play in that game so I imagine it will be concluded before then.
not really sure it is if you see the actual quote from the manager:

Woodward is a joke

This deal should have been sorted in December and he should have signed 1st Jan!

Who opens negotiations on a player, you clearly want to buy 16 days after the window opens... potentially losing more vital points in the meanwhile etc.

United to make Champions League, need to win with the best players, the Wolves games clearly showed how weak we are... especially in midfield.

How much Sporting are 'set to bank' from Fernandes transfer
The numbers going round for the Fernandes deal are somewhere between €60m to €70m but Sporting aren’t going to get the majority of it.
According to newspaper A Bola Sporting will secure just over €37 with the rest being split between Serie A side Sampdoria, who kept a future sale percentage as part of their deal to send Fernandes to Sporting in 2017, agents fees and other fees.

Yeah we opened negotiations on 16th and concluded it in the same day.

Sporting is in a very stupid situation. Bruno has much more credibility than Felix who went for 120 million euros. Now we learn that they are going to get only 37 million. Daylight robbery.

Already in contention for post of the year.
I'm feeling so left out amidst all the green smilies. A quick googling tells me that Craig David is a rapper - so why is that post funny?

No Portuguese player ever went on to make it in another league.......ever!
Did I miss sarcasm in your post or what is this fake news about? Ever heard of Cristiano Ronaldo or Bernardo Silva?

Sometimes you need the money and have to just take it on the chin. But yes, it does look stupid. On the other hand, perhaps the 120 million euro deal includes a large amount of performance related clauses which may never be paid.
