Seems like it. The Sporting execs are in London negotiating, could be wrapped up tonight.
Tagline confirmed.
Hes probably not THAT good just better than JLingz and Mata
Please please please please please please please sign Bruno.
I'd give my left nut for a prime Lampard.
So what if he's not not good. He's definitely an improvement on what we have.
all portugueses are depressed
Isn't this more the replacement for Eriksen?
So he's off to the Spud factory?
Shut your whore mouth!
We want good players. Not ‘better than Lingard’. That isn’t the standard.
Christ Moutinho is on his last legs as a pro and he’s younger than me. Think I can safely say the dream of being a pro is over.
Never give up on your dream bro, you could try out for a Maltese 2nd division side bro.
This done lads? I'm out of the country and not currently F5ing like a mad man.
ohh. Cheers, Ivaldo.
I assume Rio is sending wholesome DM's to Brunos instagram account, with a cheeky smile and a "come here" nod.
Honestly, i am undecided on this one. I just don't think Bruno Fernandes is that good. But I will admit he is a serious threat shooting outside the 16m box and on free kicks.
But right now our injury situation and players like Lingard who have gone from being decent to Phil Jones level. And Phil Jones having to play CB, despite being the worst player ion the club, has made me become willing to just sign anyone that might be good. Our Midfield is one of the weakest in the Premier League right as of today with the players we have available and the form they are in. And that is terrifying.

I don't know if Bruno Fernandes is "that good", but when your two best midfielders are out injured and your top option for the 10 spot is Jesse freaking Lingard, you have to take your chances. It's a bit of a panic buy, but that's what you get for horrible asset management.
5 goals in 5 Europa League games this season is some record for a midfielder
Still need a another midfielder though even if we sign him

Odds on him scoring the winner vs the Dippers on his debut?
Yep. People say the Portuguese league is poor but he’s scored against some good teams in the Europa, scored against Liverpool in pre season.
it’s fair to say if he gets the chance to shoot he’s going to score goals.
if he can control the ball and create better than Lingard or pereira he’s worth every penny.

Probably never seen a minute of him I suspect. But by all means, offer Sporting Lisbon a swap for Pogba and Bruno. I guess they would be against it as they already have the superior player right?
Watch a YouTube video and you will also be an expert.
Aw. That's not much fun. Having said that, anything comprehensive on him out there?
Be a very nice signing. I'd feel sorry for him if he was the only one though. No midfielder on his own will solve the issues at the moment playing with the likes of Matic, Perriera and Fred.
Fernandes, Pogba and McTominay could make for a good midfield however. Got a lot of very good elements.

We aren't 'THAT good' either ... we are shopping at our level!
I’ve seen him play pal he would be the best midfielder we have got within 2 weeks, pogba won’t go there obviously cause of his social media career.
We weren't interested in the summer either.
He's not the Messiah as some would have you believe.
This had got panic buy written all over it
Trying really hard to change your tag name eh
to be fair, I don't think they could sign any first team player this summer without him being labeled "panic buy" by a lot of people. Still better to bring in players like Bruno than sit on our hands and just watch the ship go down.
The way I see it is Pogba is leaving and Ole isn't happy with Lingard. That means we need 1, potentially 2 creative mids.
We probably went for Grealish and Maddison. We got a firm "no" on both ends at least right now because it's the middle of the season.
Since we need able bodies right now our board decided to pull the trigger on plan B which is good old Bruno.
I still believe we will try to sign Grealish during the summer transfer window. That lad has United written all over him. Maddison looks more like a Bale/Owen type of player. Something tells me he'll end up at Barca/Real or City.

Jimenez flopped in that league but is thriving in PL. In fact, Wolves who consists of mostly players from that "inferior" league you refer to is only 1 point behind us in the league and is also a team that we have failed to beat or even match in multiple attempts.
Every single person who watches the Portuguese League thinks that he is the undisputed best player of the league, even fans from fierce rivals.

That really came out of the blue.. No one could have seen that coming.
Agreed. Everybody creams themselves over mourinho who only ever looked fairly average for sporting and wasn’t exactly a star at Monaco either.
the PL suits athletic players, but people who can control the ball and pass quickly will always thrive.
Okay. And you don’t come across as someone who watches Portuguese football. Not enough blood, thunder and badge thumping. And to imply that Bruno is better than Pogba only underlines that you have issues.
Couldn’t give a shit, the tagline was bollocks anyway.
