If he does for 40m, that will be dodgy as feck.

I almost wish it were true because the pressure on the club would be so gargantuan that Ed would need to go.
This smells like an agent game.The ball is with Mendes not with us.
That only applies to the player's contract not the transfer fee.
No way. The narrative would be ”Bruno wanted Barca” and Ed did all he could.
Hang on... So Barca are going to pay out a lot of money for a player, just to loan him to another club as part of a deal for yet another player?
Does anyone actually see the logic in that? This is, in my opinion, utter rubbish being put out to try and scare United into speeding things up, or upping our bid. I really can't see why Barca would buy a player they don't really need just to include him in a deal for another player?

Hmm. So apparently he did want out 2 years ago O_o. How is he still there?

If we don't sign anyone then I expect the club to feed us with BS about the imminent arrival of a DOF (a top level one not the Fletchers and the Jordis) + Maddison & Sancho.
Suddenly reminds me of the time when we signed Kleberson, people said he was supposed to be friend of Ronaldinho and that's why we bought him for, to convince Ronaldhino to come and help him to settle etc. Needless to say, we failed to buy Ronaldinho at the end, and Kleberson also becomes a flop too.
Woodward is going to be too scared to turn up to another game. Hahahaha
It's this. Sporting want to sell, lighting a fire under us as time ticks away.
Last minute signing on Friday night. One or the other will bow.
The problem with that tactic is we don’t want a deal
Scenes when he becomes one of the best playmakers in Europe at Barca as we drop 120m on James Maddison
If this happens, the 75000 people in Old Trafford will be screaming for Woodward's and the Glazers' heads this weekend. Bloody wankers. Words won't be able to describe how most of us would feel. What in the feck have we got ourselves into? Who would want to come in to manage us next time once Ole inevitably is asked to leave with this shithouse of a squad?
And I think your scenes are too nice. Imagine the scenes when we drop 200k a week to tie Jesse on a new 5 year deal.
Oh this would be hilarious if he goes on loan to Valencia. This place will go into meltdown
Yep, they think we are just playing hardball but we aren't even playing the same game
poor showing from united for not paying up.
Absolutely fantastic.
What we'll see now is how fast a club can conclude a simple transfer.
Barcelona sign Bruno Fernandes.
Ed Woodward " Ashton,do your thing"
Ed Woodward " Ashton,do your thing"
Reminds me of my monopoly tactics.Yep, they think we are just playing hardball but we aren't even playing the same game
“Give me Mayfair and £500 for Pall mall.” , “No”.... later “I’ll take that deal”, “it’s now Mayfair and £2k”, “ok”, “and all the stations”
There we go then, game set match and season well and truly over. We won't be switching targets meaning we enter the tail-end of the season with the worst squad we've had in years and no reinforcements.
The club have thrown the towel in on yet another season in January, and have sold Ole and the fans down the river.

Scenes when Berge and Fernandes move to Valencia and Sheffield Utd, while we are without Matic, McTominay and Pogba this weekend, fielding a mid 2 of Pereira and Fred. We'll get trashed, and rightly so.
Trouble is, I can see this happening. Another massively overpriced and overrated English player.
If we don't sign him, I will be fully on board the 'we are run by incompetent idiots' band wagon.
if he joins Valencia/Barca Watch us brief the press "we were never interested, just agent noise"
Watch us brief the press "we were never interested, just agent noise"
Or - «he looses possession too much, Matic is way better»
Why would Bruno want to go and play for Valencia over us? I know it’s on loan but still. He isn’t going to appreciate being farmed around like that.
Things are hotting up. Watch out Woody & co.
Why not? He would still joining a better club and a better league for 6 months with more to play for, before joining a European giant.
MD and Sport are both citing the original report from Super Deporte and not from their own information.
I think it's quite obvious that United will drop more money on Maddison,maybe even Grealish,that they're willing to on Fernandes.
The club would still have a debt. All they would gain is they wouldn't have to pay his wages. I Think it is all only playing us, so as we pay up.
Very soon no club or player is going to entertain Woodward and Judge's advances on transfer negotiations, we are losing credibility as a footballing institution at an alarming rate. Even Liverpool at their worst didn't descend to such comical levels.Yep, they think we are just playing hardball but we aren't even playing the same game
For all the talk of January not being a good window to do business in well Sander Berge and Bruno Fernandes are moving for manageable sums and both would have improved us. It seems as if United arent even trying, that's why Ole came up with that 'wasted question' and the Sanchez line, he is delusioned too with the apparent unwillingness to strengthen.
More like how quick Sporting stop asking for silly money
I feel like this is more optimistic than thinking we're gonna sign Bruno.
Because we've shown we clearly don't fancy him enough. We've messed him around all window, low balled the club with stupid offers.
Sporting have probably said screw you and let Valencia have him for less.
Why would Barca pay 50 million for a 25 year old that they would then loan out.
It's all a spoof.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. You don't hold grudges over multiple millions of euros, they're not idiots.
Yes but everyone knows Utd are desperate and the Utd tax adds 10-20 mill on.
