That's a quality midfield and I've no complaints with that !

Anyone tracking his flight at 12?
I miss the countdown to when the transfer-window closes.
I imagine a few will be, yes
Considering the form of those above us it would be silly to give up yet. They're gonna drop plenty of points yet.
Whether he'll be top drawer only time will tell. What he will be is an improvement on Perreira and Lingard. Martial, Rashford and James should all benefit from Bruno's signing and we as fans should at least see an improvment in the final 3rd of the pitch. Win / Win all round. Exciting signing.
Well that's fantastic if true. Our wages have been stupidly out of whack for a long time now, this is more in line with what we should be paying until players prove their worth.
This is an alright deal in the end. £47M initial is a decent fee.
If we had paid the full £70M straight up I would have been nervous since players from the Portuguese League who come to the English league are very hit and miss. Some are truly outstanding, some are turd beyond measure. If he is good, we pay up, no problem.
Let's hope Bruno is one of the true stars. He seems to have the right attitude to back his numbers up.

Don’t agree. The 4th place is still up for grabs.
Poor lad was probably so desperate to join after the last 8 months he would have taken anything.
The pervading sentiment of negativity.
So are we.
The confusion here is, we don't know whether it was gross or net wages. I don't think he will be on low wages.
This is a big reason I'm happy regarding this signing. We need more. AWB, Maguire and Fred, along with Rashford, James and McT. We are finding a team of positive players fighting for us. Good to see.
If that is the wage deal agreed, then it's pretty good, by MUFC's standards
I know, we could be level right now. Very frustrating but considering the injuries it’s a miracle we’re even that close. Let’s hope this signing will spur us on and give us confidence.I think this team finally broke me. I used to think like this but every single time this team has the chance to capitalize on the competition losing they fail.
That home loss against Burnley...
Anyone got the flight radar link for his flight??
But the problem are the injured players. With Pogba, Rashford, McTominay out I United doesn't have the quality in the squad even with Fernandes coming in. And I guess there could be more injuries coming with the all the games United has.
Guardian saying £75,000 a week plus bonuses, even with bonuses if it ends up averaging out at £120,000 a week thats 24 million over 4 years in comparison to the 68 million Inter are giving Eriksen. With transfer fees included both players will cost about the same whilst Eriksen will be well in his 30's when his deal ends. At least if Fernandes doesn't work out he won't be difficult to move on whilst Inter would really struggle getting rid of Eriksen.
Waiting for stories about how Ed climbed mountains to pull this off.
Yep - IF true, this is very good.
I said elsewhere that we could easily double his current wages without offering a silly deal - and this would be very much in line with that.
it's my work lunch time so it'd be rude not to!
I know you want to be optimistic but Bruno Fernandes by himself is not going to change our season. It will take him time to adapt to the league, the physicality and its pace. I'm just glad we will be seeing less of Lingard and Pereira.
Any flight tracking links?
Those wages say he was desperate to play for us. Bodes well for his desire.
strange thing to say. Chelsea will drop points of that there is no doubt. We haven't so far been able to capitalize on this, but by adding much needed creativity to our midfield and goal threats with Pogba returning next month and Fernandes. It would be crazy to write of 4th place right now.
Less than JLingz
. I'm sure in a year or 2 he'll get a pay rise though.Watching UnitedStand and they're visioning:
Rashford Martial James
Fernandes
Matic Fred
Martial, Rashers and James up top. You guys are saying Fred, Fernandes and Pogba. As it seems all done, what do people think for a more defensive setup?
How does the playing style of Pogba compare to Fernandes. I don't know too much about him so wondering how all the pieces will fit

He's gone down in my estimations, he said it was done in the summer didn't he ?
I’ve seen reports of £70k p/w + bonuses, 4 and a half year deal.
Though that just doesn’t seem right so it could be wrong.
Everytime I mocked you guys saying "in before the meltdown", we got some positive update. You are welcome.
Great job by Ed, he will be anounced once we get destroyed by City. And no one will talk abou the game.
Bite, bite
Bite, bite
This really happening! Can’t wait to see some quality crosses in.
No pictures of him at the airport ?
No one knows this. What we can all be optimistic about is that we have a natural no10 now. Someone who creates and scores goals from midfield. We've been crying out for it and now we have Bruno. Yes, he'll have to adapt but he's changed leagues before and he doesn't strike me as someone who will shirk the physical side of our game. He could very well be the difference in us making 4th this year.
That's less than Lingard gets each week.
This has to be the tune for it, at least. I thought about this a while back and got as far as:
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright
Fernandes
We have to pay your club 5 million more
If you're the Ballon D'or (winner)
Fernandes
There's a Dassault Falcon 2000EX about to take off from Lisbon can't find details of the flight though.
I agree with you in principle, but I think it would be asking a lot of him to hit the ground running. In any case, if he can control a ball, make a pass and not run away from responsibility, then that is already a massive upgrade.
