One player at a time is plenty when you're also doing deals for our Canadian maple syrup partner, Indonesia noodle partner, Uzbekistan uranium partner and Bolivian cocaine partner.The thing is even if we were to get Bruno we still need a striker desperately too.
But Ed can't seem to try to negotiate for more than one player.
Multitasking is not his forte!!
Bruno Fernandes | Signed

this is the 10th game he’s played since we were “about to sign him”.
By the time we end up not getting him at the end of the month most of the caf will be Sporting supporters.
Not necessarily. Just don’t focus on the kind of posters that overly criticise.
Could only see 1 more at the most but will take a miracle to get striker cover for Rashford with only 10 days left of the window.
We certainly need to be looking at bringing in a DM, CM & RW this summer.
I know he is very much an unknown quantity but would go for this Llorente in a DM role
My top choice for CM would definitely be Saul but only way this will happen is when Pogba gets sold
I also still see us going back for Grealish as Utd like players who can play multiple midfield positions.
Obviously the dream RW would be Sancho but only happens with champions league,if we miss out again then I am not averse to bringing in someone like Fraser.

I don't think anyone is disputing that we have disposed of players in key positions and not replaced them. Also, I don't think anyone is disagreeing that those who have gone, needed to go. The problem is that effective replacements haven't been brought in.
We've spent fortunes on players that have been sold a couple of years later, we haven't even lost much on the sales.
Net spend is still irrelevant here.
This is the worst saga ever. A famous international player we clearly need wants to come and we Dick around for a few weeks to what end? We can(t) do things in the transfer market other clubs can only dream of. We are a joke compared to properly run clubs when it comes to transfers. This particular transfer is a joke for so many reasons now too. I always expect a surprise or something else going on behind the scenes but the last few years we’ve been slow, sloppy, unimaginative in our targets and not even fully supportive of our managers anymore (which was the one plus from the horrible last few years) and no surprises ever happen even as we fall way behind on the pitch.
OH MY GOD HE IS STARTING TONIGHT DESPITE THE TRANSFER MAKING REAL PROGRESS
Absolutely shocking that this still hasn't been sorted, what on earth are they fecking doing.
Eddie is going round the drive through, offering a happy meal in ad ons, getting refused, then going round again to get another one.
Sporting can't continue to turn down happy meals.
I’d have Axel in there once he’s fit. It’s time for Lindelof to be dropped though.
I don't want to alarm you guys. But I think it's close. Not sure how close, but it's close. Closer than it's ever been close before in the summer. It's really close.
amateurish from both clubs, they want to sell we want to buy, ffs sort it out. No-one is holding all the cards here, they have a player they want to sell, we are the only club legitimately interested. There will be a Jan price, we know that, but if his club aren't too greedy and we aren't too unrealistic in our valuation, this shouldn't be this difficult. A positive signing like this will give the whole club a lift.
Touching cloth close?
Closer than you could ever imagine. Close.
Might even be a bit closer than that.
Definitely closer than we ever were to signing Klose... so close.
Turtles head close
Sweet Jesus that's close.
This transfer has gone full turtlehead....
The only thing this transfer saga is missing is some fake Spanish lawyers turnings up, claiming to be representing us.
Closer than close, closer than you ever could imagine
He’s packed his bags, sunscreen, beach towel, the lot. He will cry after the game I’m sure
If I hear that song once more.....grrr
I couldn’t cope with the .....STRESS
hope he isn't playing with any fractures
It’s a 90’s classic man! Let’s make a song for him from it
Nah let’s stick with Bruno, Bruno,Bruno zzzzzzzIt’s a 90’s classic man! Let’s make a song for him from it
Watching the game and Sporting can hardly string 2 passes together. He'll fit right in.
3 lawyers = Ed, matt and some other exec.
Assist for Bruno tonight.
My goodness - the absolute state of this place.
This will be done by Friday
48 hours

OK Rosie Gaines.
Will they bring gold, frankinsence and myrrh?
That should get it over the line
We would probably sign him quicker with the three fake ones.
Heard Ed is a fan of Oud from Laos and Sandalwood from India
Oud and Sandalwood playing off Jude Bellingham. Lovely. Get it done Ed
Avoiding setting a precedent for the Maddison/Grealish bidding this summer.
This deal should have happened 6 months ago. Pretty much every armchair fan here knew we needed it or another player in same position. We also said this when lukaku went about being light up top.
Woodward, almost completely is to blame for us looking at a run to April with martial and an 18 year old as the only options across 4 competitions. And Fred pereira and matic as the midfield options.
Anybody that doesn't recognise this is simply looking to load blame elsewhere. He has cheated us of being remotely competitive

Some end to the Sporting game with 4 red cards
Has he had a decent game?
