It’s not exactly much of an insult but I’ll offer up an apology! Doubly so if this signing actually happens.Quoted
Not good form for a newbile to be throwing round insults
Bruno Fernandes | Signed

And he comes and starts giving the ball away while shooting from ridiculous areas cue the criticism from the commentators " Well,there's a reason no one else was in for him".
And it begins. It fecking begins dammit!
Let’s see what Ole thinks!
Is he going to have his debut in a game where there is supposed to be a mass exodus in the 58th or 68th minute?
That won't happen now, for 2 reasons.
1) We've signed a player
2) The idiots at Woodward’s house last night will prevent as many people wanting to protest.. I think it’ll pick up again, but last night helped nothing
Tbh I don't expect much from him, especially his shooting which reminds me of Depay. Accurate but not very powerful, and PL keepers are on a different level.And he comes and starts giving the ball away while shooting from ridiculous areas cue the criticism from the commentators " Well,there's a reason no one else was in for him".

But is he better than Lingard, Pereira or Mata? Definitely.
Sounds good! Either way, I’m glad we have some more quality at CAM. Don’t know how long it will take him to find his footing in the PL, but I think he brings a lot more ability than Lingard or Pereira. It’s a good day!
25 direct goal contribution a season is what I am expecting, hopefully he will deliver.
RW, Rotation Striker, DM
If we can get our shabby recruitment sorted and fill these positions with the right players and keep pogba then I believe we finally have a squad that can win things.
Who are you? the fecking Hulk?
He clearly hits it very hard, you can tell by the way the ball "stands up" as it's hit, it just doesn't move.
Spurs went for Lo Celso last summer in preference to Fernandes … so it will be interesting to see how the latter gets on in the Prem.
How did I know you’d be in here with that angle?
Not believing till he’s on crutches with the other injured players
Wasn’t that Poch when they knew Bruno was priced out?
Wolves are probably ideal opponents for his debut, they are full of Portuguese players
Spurs signed Ndombele as well so looks like the Spurs transfer magic has dried up.
Dont think this is a point you want to make clear right now
Initial fee of £46m so of course Sky are going with BRUNO NEARS £68m MOVE!!
Hope I'm wrong but that's what I see from watching his clips.
If you pay attention to players with supposedly good long shots who move from other leagues to the PL you'd see a common thing. All of them have to try to hit harder in order to beat the keepers in the PL, which resulted in less accuracy. Like Pogba for example, he scored a shit load of good ones in the serie A but hardly any here.
P/s: one more thing, you don't have to hit the ball very hard to make it "stands up", you just have to hit it "right". Watch a clip of Juninho (the Lyon one) and you'd see.

With the add ons, it’s close to that
I get there's been a lot of bullshit floating around earlier this month but the reports over the last 24 hours or so have come from trusted sources, and that makes it a different kettle of fish.
Bruno didn't fancy spurs by all accounts
I think we need to upgrade from Lindelof much more than DM at this point. Perhaps we have that guy currently on the squad, maybe not. For me, Lindelof, Shaw and Pogba all need to go. I’d like upgrades in this order...RW, CB, LB, a replacement for Pogba who is durable and is committed to working hard for the club, and someone to push Martial at the 9. I actually like the depth we have at DM with any of Fred, McTominay or Matic able to step in there, though Matic shouldn’t be back next year. Pogba is obviously a talented player, but he’s injured a lot, including soft tissue injuries which can occasionally indicate dehydrated or undertrained muscle. Guys that party a lot can end up with chronic muscle strains. With Pogba looking around in the preseason, and his well documented extracurricular activities, I don’t think the club can count on him to lead this team game in and game out. Martial has had a decent year, but I do think this an area we should look to improve...unless they ultimately want Mason to be the guy to push him. As for LB, count me as one of the Brandon Williams fanboys. I think he’s the long term solution there, but I’d like to see United add a veteran to push him, and if he’s not ready, own the position until he is.
Surprisingly low wages. Think he’ll do well for us, good transfer
Lukaku was 90m with the add-ons, but we won’t have paid that for him. Oh well.
fecking flight I was watching is going to Paris. Proper buz kill
Break out the kleenex - Di Marzio has spoken
Where are all the flight tracker muppets, eh!?
Let me contribute:
TP1336 departed Lisbon to London 20 min ago.

His medical is not until tomorrow, and it could be a private flight.
More flight tracking needed.
What instrument does he play?
I'll be honest, I've not been 100% behind this transfer and the tedious amounts of "deal done in next 24 hrs" have further jaded me. But feck it, its a transfer, a player I havent seen that much of and my muppet juices are starting to flow now. Bring it on.
Just pure dinosaur thinking. This "PL is too tough for flair players from lower leagues" narrative is still prevalent after so many years. Unbelievable.
We're definately not going for another CB any time soon, there is an replacement for Pogba, an RW, striker and yes, a CDM ,we need to sort out much before that.
Not to mention we just bought one for 80 mill. Lindelof is of acceptable quality for us if we get a proper and pure CDM in.
Was hoping Tuanzebe would be our "new" CB, but with that injury record it is looking bleak.
I was having fun with this, until the connection timed out, but it let me have another go, so all good.
Currently flying over Le Mans.
Say what? Ndombele and Lo Celso look to be excellent signings: the heart of our CM for years to come.[/QUOTE]

Why's it going to Paris?
I didn't say anything regarding his physics or " too tough for flair player from lower leagues". Just his long shots. Hope I'm wrong though.
Not mine. Yeh he said we were close to signing him. And I think while we weren't close there was definitely some there there considering we signed him 5 months later
PSG got him mid-air.
Fernandes - post summer:
"Tottenham … was the only one I agreed to talk with, because there were other clubs that didn't interest me or whose project was not up to my expectations. Tottenham fit into everything I wish I had at that moment"
