Waited for what? We either wernt interested or he preferred PSG.
Vitor Ferreira aka Vitinha

true, now we know he's a good source for Portuguese/Porto transfer info at leastwaiting for other deals potentially.
We negotiate using fax machine clearly.
Chasing FDJ all summer while the other clubs hoover up all the talent.
Rabiot on dealing day it is.

Pheeew!!! Vintinha come to united we already have a very strong Portuguese speaking group you'll fit right in!!!
They should just sell Bruno then. Would imagine we could stop fetch a high fee for him and it would make more sense than letting him rot on the bench if he doesn’t fit ten Hag’s style. Would also allow us to pay for a RW and RB.
Em he's joined PSG.
I knew I should have resisted the temptation to check out his YT compilation. Didn't even know the guy existed before we got linked.
wait so he joined PSG then? We lost the battle? Even Bruno and Dalot can't convince him?Look, if the kid wants to go to PSG then let the little shit go to PSG. Who cares.
even if ten hag wanted to I have a hard time seeing the new front office and board selling him so soon right after giving a new contract
Seemed to me much more like a FdJ backup than a partner. The roles they both like doing would functionally interfere.
Nailed it.
Ah but the tough and fair negotiator Murtough saw to it that Bruno doubled his wages even though he was already tied down until he was 32...there's very few teams that will match his current wages, we could have probably sold him for a tidy profit until that stupid contract decision.
Our rebuild seems to be going real well
He didnt have Maguire and Lindelof at CB in the premier league so until that changes we're probably not going to play naked in the middle
Probably why ten Hag wants Timber so we don't need to play Maguire and Lindelof
Sigh, all aboard the FdJ train.
We shall rebuild with our existing players. It'll be like 16 new signings once Ten Hag has coached them for 6 weeks... just watch Maguirinho and Shawberto goOur rebuild seems to be going real well
Damn, open the thread and it looks like we're getting him at about 17:00 today. Skip to the last page and he's signing for PSG.
Got excited for a second there. These type of signings excite me more than the De Jong type signings. I have only seen bits and pieces but he looks potentially brilliant, PSG snapping him up just confirms it really. Think we've missed out here and, should we sign De Jong, this might be the deal we look back on as a mistake in not pursuing.

Oh. You were proven wrong in the space of 3 hours. That’s some sort of record
There's quite a fair bit of hype for someone who couldn't break into a poor Wolves side not that long ago...
Interested in seeing how he looks at PSG but wouldn't be surprised if he goes the way of Paredes over there.

We already have a player who could reach a similar level but is 3 years younger in Hannibal Mejbri. So if we did sign Eriksen and also developed Hannibal, I think that would be a sensible approach going forward.
Seems an obsession with number 6s number 8s etc etc. What about a defnsive midfielder that is actually godo with the ball b ut positionally intelligent and a battler Bissouma, Fabinho are all good on the ball.
Personally I think there are more supposed defensive midfielder that are technically good enough on the ball to maintain possesion well in the modern game but there arent so many playmakers who are good defensively and Fred certainly isnt one of them.
We simply dont have any central midfielders who are intelligent enough or read the game well enough to play in the double pivot, that is why an ageing Matic was still playing.
Its vital for me personally we sign a midfielder that can win the ball, read the game, fill in holes....and rightly or wrongly I dont see how Ten Hag gets that out of the current options unless its with a youngster.
Usually agree with the vast majority of your posts, I really dotn with this one though. If there is an obession with these types of midfielders, we have a massive talent in Hannibal.
I think DeJOng is godo positionally without the ball, but a midfielder that can defend is important. To be fair I knwo very little of Vintiha, very vaguely remember him coming on for Wolves as had no idea who he was, but didnt know anything of him until the links
Yeah that's true. I hope he gets plenty of time and patience this season.

So Hen Shrag is unreliable now?
Fabrizio is trying to fix his reputation.

Well every summer our names gets used to get someone a big move. Looks like it was this guy.
For you Ragnick lovers. I bet if we had him this is the sort of deal he would of recommended. Defo a super DoF signing.

Petty by Romano, hope Shraeger @s him.
Be interesting to see how it shakes out and who is correct. Hasn't that Shrager guy been reliable recently?
Pretty pleased - thought he was more of a Donny type signing, someone who is decent and available but not what we need. Especially not if we've offered a contract to Eriksen and are chasing de Jong, still needing an actual DM.
People frothing at the mouth about not signing someone based on a completely made-up report.
We don't need another Van de Beek.

What a role reversal. Usually Schrager is the one saying we weren’t after someone
both were wrongOh. You were proven wrong in the space of 3 hours. That’s some sort of record
Why doesn't Romano reveal the list of everyone who has been 'discussed internally by Ten Hag' he always refers to? (because he's made it up)
Just saw one of his YT compilations, some nice moves in there considering how young he is. One thing that stood out to me was how *extremely* right footed he is. Like the kind of dominant foot reliance you mostly see with lefties. He takes a ridiculous amount of touches with his right all in small spaces so it bodes well for his press resistance ability. And definitely shades of FDJ in there, but he's smaller in frame so it doesn't look as elegant.
Shrager vs Fabrizio
