Signing for Liverpool.What is damnation ?
Signing for Liverpool.What is damnation ?
Aren't England world champions are two age groups and the senior team just got to the semi finals in Russia too. There's loads of English talent around now.Grealish is shite, Maddison isn't anything special either. Just overrated cause they're English
Oh feck that. I want him at UnitedSigning for Liverpool.
His podcast is basically a load of anti United waffle, whenever I’ve listened to it he speculates and fills it out with opinion that is rather badly disguised as fact, heavily loaded with self appraisal....I can’t get enough of itCastles is very reliable. Underrated on here.
This has angry Hitler levels of meme potential.
Thanks very much for the response, on paper he sounds perfect for us.In almost all the Bruno Fernandes threads I have wrote extensive stuff about his playstyle and I would do it again but I am in the midst of writing something up for work as well but I will give you a quick run down.
SHOOTING: he has unbelievable shooting with both his left and right foot he uses both power and precision (mostly power) and hits them from distance often and with good amounts of success
PASSING/VISION: He is the creator for Sporting and everything runs through him. His long passing and through balls are of high quality and his ability to make a pass before receiving the ball is very good as well. His teammates at times struggle to keep up with what he tries to do which says a lot about how shit Sporting are.
DRIBBLING: He can beat a man if he needs to or in tight spaces but this is NOT one of the traits you should be focused on when getting a player like Bruno. It is not something you really highlight about him as player.
STAMINA/LEADERSHIP: You get a natural born leader with Bruno and he very often the first to track back and go up and down the pitch. If he loses it you can bet your bottom dollar he will take it right back. If a teammate loses it he is the first to pull back. He has very high on field IQ which may explain why he says he hopes to be a coach one day.
ABILITY TO GET OUT OF TIGHT SPACES: Has no problem doing this and if the Portuguese league is a turn off for you he has done it in the CL vs Barcelona.
SETPIECES: Dam near automatic. World class penalty taker and his free kicks are brilliant as well scores a lot of them.
His vision passing and overall ability in the final third is of the best quality I have personally ever seen in Sporting.
***I posted this a few pages back. Hope it helps!
He usually picks up the ball from deep and brings it up the field then using his creativity to make the best chance. If buy hold up play you mean can he hold on to the ball a little longer until the appropriate run is made for him to release the ball then yes, if you mean hold up play as in what a striker or center forward usually do then no.Very good! Made me laugh.
I want him after seeing that video.
@SportingCP96 what's your thoughts on this one? You're far better qualified than some of the Caf Einstein's telling us it's a panic buy and he'll flop.
How will be settle in the PL?
What would he give to this United side?
Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance!
My response is to the post acting like Bruno is an absolute guaranteed success, versus the "lesser" Maddison and Grealish.Such a weird, weird way to look at it. He’s a quality player, his numbers and an eye test tell you that. Players take time to adapt sure, but he’ll produce if we have a settled team and a clear way of playing.
Might be a good idea to get someone else in who can create chances don't you think?Can he head the ball? He's only 5'10 maybe he'll be taking the corners. We've seen what mata can do when he starts. I'd rather invest in a great big forward who can score ugly goals from set pieces.
There always has been enough to put out a quality first 11 at major tournaments on paper at least. But they usually get a footballing lesson from European players who can keep hold of the ball.Aren't England world champions are two age groups and the senior team just got to the semi finals in Russia too. There's loads of English talent around now.
english players are all over priced. No way would we get Grealish or Maddison for the kind of money Bruno is costing.Aren't England world champions are two age groups and the senior team just got to the semi finals in Russia too. There's loads of English talent around now.
Not just that, but also the fact that he seems desperate to play for us. There are more exotic names being thrown around by the media like Saul, but would they want to jump from a CL team to one fighting for top 4? Bruno is like that good girl next door with decent looks and a fantastic personality, msot people know she's marriage material, but still keep an eye on the horizon for someone sexier.If there's no one else available, I guess he is worth the gamble. There is a Champions League place up for grabs after all, and no midfielders.
I don't think Rojo makes or breaks the deal. Its one of many things they could be trying to negotiate.Not followed much of this today. Running through the last 1-2 pages, does the deal for Bruno hinge on Rojo going there or otherwise it falls through?
Only in passingGenoa?
No, sporting probably prefer cold hard cash but we're trying to push Rojo that way to lessen the value - and Rojo wants out anyway.Not followed much of this today. Running through the last 1-2 pages, does the deal for Bruno hinge on Rojo going there or otherwise it falls through?
I can't get as excited as you I'm afraid, I don't see a sure thing there, although he seems like a more creative soul than Saul, who is more of a workaholic. I'd much rather Maddison was being signed. But if he wants to join that is half the battle, I guess, and I hope the scouts have done their homework and he is actually good enough.Not just that, but also the fact that he seems desperate to play for us. There are more exotic names being thrown around by the media like Saul, but would they want to jump from a CL team to one fighting for top 4?

If true it's as expected, Sporting were asking silly money in the Summer and United called their bluff.Tweet

If only it was that simple,The state of this place.What a fecking great signing he's going to be.Scores goals for fun,set piece specialist, a leader, puts a shift in for 90 minutes.Christ, everything that we don't have AND he wants to join United.
Get it fecking done and get him in the starting XI as soon as bloody possible.
We don't need that player (unless as a cheap, last 10/20 minutes option).Can he head the ball? He's only 5'10 maybe he'll be taking the corners. We've seen what mata can do when he starts. I'd rather invest in a great big forward who can score ugly goals from set pieces.
When they're quoting the telegraph?Please stop posting utdreport
You believe he will sign all of sudden when he can now talk to anyone in Europe?he hasn't signed yet
Hazard, Ronaldo, Suarez.I can name a lot of players who did replicate the same output. My point is simply that we don’t know, not even by using stats. I can only hope he’ll come good for us (if we even sign him). You seem very sure he’ll fail. A little confirmation bias, maybe? Perhaps you want a different player?
Yeah they always quote someone but it’s little snippets with no context twisted slightly to maximise retweets. I’m pretty sure they were banned at one point for it.When they're quoting the telegraph?
I disregard their opinions on anything when I read nonsense like that."Never been tested in a big league." Half of you would have used this reasoning for a 25 year old Luis Suarez from Ajax.
Why is he mad?This has angry Hitler levels of meme potential.
No, we wait til everyone moves on and fancies a new shiny toy, like usually happens.So we hope he loses form and regresses as a player, then we swoop in?
