Done dealio. Still feck whoever is responsible for not signing him in the summer.
Is that his agent?
We need more goals from midfield and creativity, that's how he'll help. That and he's clearly miles better than the options we currently have, obviously.
As far as patchwork midfields go, Fred - Matic - Bruno wouldn't be half bad for a month or so until Pogba or McSauce are back.
Hopefully we can get a proper DM to replace McTominay.
Best clip I have seen of Bruno was from a preseason game when he was in the opposition penalty area and the guy behind him lost possession. The opposition swept up the field and most of his teammates jogged back towards their penalty area. The oppo striker was played in and as he went to pull the trigger Bruno appeared going like a train and won the ball back with a perfect tackle. Love to see effort like that and oh yes he would be the best MF at this club bar Pogba so pay the money Ed.
This is on like Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, the girl version of Diddy Kong, Bubbles and Harambe (RIP).
Done
It’s obviously drastically improved since then
Against Liverpool that was.
Ideally, but a good DM and a good AM still needs something in between it to knit it all together. Think an all rounder should be top priority to play with Pogba and Fred. A 10 with them is defensively imbalanced.
Linked with a creative midfielder who we were linked to before days after we lost to the gooners and citeh and drew with wolves in which we had a combined 30 shots and only 7 on target in those 3 matches
Don't fall for it muppets.
I mean he's definitely the type of player we need.
But I just don't see it. Clear transfer gossip to get the supporters transfer muppeting after the last week

People are saying it's his agent, so I checked his followers and the player in question is following him.

If we were to pull this off, what do people think this does to our chances of us getting Maddison in the summer? I’ve not seen much of Fernandes but with people saying he’s more of a 10, isn’t that the kind of position that Maddison likes to take up?
Have you read the thread? This is going a bit beyond just a bit of gossip, like the Dutch lad at the start of the week. This. Is. On.
Maybe United waited it out to get the price down?
It is his agent, but he has unliked the tweet. Whatever that means. Probably nothing.
Would be great if we could pull off Soumare as well. I've got a feeling that we only went for Bruno because Eriksen snubbed us for Inter. We were hoping to get Eriksen in the summer and stalled on the Bruno deal and thought we had a chance in Jan and since that didn't materialize, so we opted to consider Maddison and Grealish and since those were gonna happen, we landed with Bruno. Either way, I'm really happy as I've wanted him here ahead of the likes of Eriksen, Maddison and Grealish.
If this happens I hope we ditch the 4231 and go 433 with Fred holding, Pogba on the left and Bruno on the right. We would still need 2 more midfielders in the summer too.
Taking adapting from a weaker league into account I doubt he'll offer MUCH more than Pereira this season, was hoping more we'd unearth some Kante regen from France
Agent now ‘un’liked Rio’s tweet apparently! Ooohhhh I love these muppet dramas

Can probably change the thread title now that Simon Stone has chimed in.
Get in!!! Finally some good news, please make it happen.
A fit midfielder over 18 and under 30 yo, yay sign him
well said most are so full of bs. thing is even if the fans are 90% certain it is untrue (whatever they say) they still hope it is somehow the case. People who are emotionally invested are easy targets. Its like a desperate lover who deep down knows his girl is cheating but still hopes somehow she speaks the truth. and yes they gain attention and probably money because of this. Every caf member who is vaguely knowledgebale about transfer rumours could write these tweets...
Thats my initial thought as well. Would be interesting to see if he plays in MF or in the ten or as a false ten.
Still need another few MFs even if we do buy him.
You seriously just made that up
Simon Stone is saying that Richard Askham has coroborated the reports from Portugal and has the info verified which backs up the Poruguese media.
Athletic saying we're confident in signing him and that Ole did go to watch him

Would be silly to sign them both imo.
Won't believe this till the thread title is changed, then it's done dealio
Now that's big.
You're right, defensively it doesn't. I still think this can work out for us though.
Attack is the best form of defence and all that.
Pogba couldn't play as high forward as Bruno in that 10 role, nor press as well. He's not so good with his back to goal.
It looks to me like Ole is going to try and replicate his caretaker setup. The big reason it fell apart was yes the legs went, but Pogba man-marked and forcing us to attack through Matic/Herrera was the main reason.
The thinking behind it is, it's much harder to stop us if Bruno is the one forward and Pogba is deeper instead.
The potential drawbacks defensively are obvious but that's the gamble. We've got nothing to lose as it stands. We can't be any worse right now.

Not exactly the most encouraging video
Puts an end to any interest in Maddison and Grealish I would imagine
