Castles is very reliable. Underrated on here.

I can name a lot of players who did replicate the same output. My point is simply that we don’t know, not even by using stats. I can only hope he’ll come good for us (if we even sign him). You seem very sure he’ll fail. A little confirmation bias, maybe? Perhaps you want a different player?
Liverpool have got 7 maybe 8 players competing for 3 cm positions. I doubt we'd have any interest in paying 60 to 70 million for another. Pep is probably eyeing up another fullback ?
He can be but sometimes he makes up clear lies for the laugh it seems
That's better than any youtube compilation. Looks like that Keano spirit. No idea what the context is there, but who cares. A guy who's willing to sparta kick a door works for me.
Just like Mane and Salah or KDB had no competition. When we don't sign someone, people ask "where were we when this or that player was available", but now that we are attempting to make something happen we have people asking why noone else is making a bid. Well maybe a. they don't have no. 10s in their systems. b. the current market price of players has eliminated making signings that might not be needed. Real Madrid City and Barca play a 433 and due to the directness of Fernandes' game, it may not be suited to them. We have more money than any of the other teams. Who either do not need a no.10, cannot afford to spend 60m on Fernandes + a player or already have a no/10.
Now lets keep Rojo and let them run the show.
What does the portuguese subtitles say?? Apparently it's after a sending off / red card against Boavista
He lies on behalf of Jorge Mendes clients De Gea and Mourinho all the time. He lied about United being interested in Pepe, which they actually weren't, because it would help Mendes' buddies at Lille sell him. So, he's basically a Mendes puppet first, journalist second.
Let her take her time... Don't Russia
Better Finnish there

I’m always amazed people can come out with stuff like this. How do you know that we weren’t interested in Pepe? Are you Ed Woodward? Just because a transfer doesn’t happen doesn’t mean there wasn’t interest or contact. As fans, we hear probably around 5% or what actually goes on. Clubs and agents will be talking all the time.
Don't think we need doors kicked in, figuratively perhaps, but I get what you mean. What we really lack is a captain. Players need to be accountable for the shit performances they put in an not just offloading on social media about not being good enough and saying they must do better.
All I want to see when we concede is someone kicking a post or looking visibly upset and trying to fire each other up, instead we all look meek and just trudge helplessly back to the half way line.
Now that's somebody who cares! never have a problem with passion. It's like players being pissed off when they're subbed.. good!
He would add a bit of fire to the Instagram boys that's for sure.
Yes. We could need some fire for sure. This is a good thing imo.
I told you guys about his attitude haha. He has a temper on him and is a natural leader.
Simon Stone has apparently said on BBC radio a deal is close now. The only obstacle now is Marcos Rojo as he himself would rather go to Turkey.
He’s just found out Rojo would rather go to Turkey.
He basically said “Bruno What?! Bruno what!? Ffs” “this has nothing to do with you” “Is it because of this shit?!” “I’ll pay for the fecking door!”
If anyone gives a feck haha
He's got strong feet. Ideal for kicking the shit out of the Bitters
I always imagined the Portuguese league would be richer than the Turkish one. How come Fenerbahce are able to pay more than Sporting? Or are Sporting just fecking around and waiting for us to subsidize Rojo's wage?
I can’t wait to hear the crowed yell “shoooooottt” as the ball falls to him 25 yards out and he unleashes it top bins!
he hasn't signed yet
Just seen the little hop he does when taking penalties.
Do not want.
Do not want.
When you consider the size of the country,population and how football mad they are etc. Turkey could afford some decent wages
We have no money at all. I think the president has been selling his ass on the corner streets of Lisbon to pay the bills. The stupid fecker.
Realistically I just don’t think Sporting would want Rojo tbh.
Don't know if this is praise or damnation from you..
He fecking scores that's all I care about. Jorginho does the same
Don’t know if sarcastic (probably is) but he is probably one of the best penalty takers out there. No exaggeration.
Love that video, also why I'm a fan of young Brandon
If Ed pulls this off I'll bite my own cock. But we all know it ain't happening, it is too obvious for us.
Sorry if you've been asked this a thousand times but what's his general link up play like? It's quite a big part of how Solskjaer utilises his CAM/Number 10s.
Very good! Made me laugh.
I want him after seeing that video.
@SportingCP96 what's your thoughts on this one? You're far better qualified than some of the Caf Einstein's telling us it's a panic buy and he'll flop.
How will be settle in the PL?
What would he give to this United side?
Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance!
In almost all the Bruno Fernandes threads I have wrote extensive stuff about his playstyle and I would do it again but I am in the midst of writing something up for work as well but I will give you a quick run down.
SHOOTING: he has unbelievable shooting with both his left and right foot he uses both power and precision (mostly power) and hits them from distance often and with good amounts of success
PASSING/VISION: He is the creator for Sporting and everything runs through him. His long passing and through balls are of high quality and his ability to make a pass before receiving the ball is very good as well. His teammates at times struggle to keep up with what he tries to do which says a lot about how shit Sporting are.
DRIBBLING: He can beat a man if he needs to or in tight spaces but this is NOT one of the traits you should be focused on when getting a player like Bruno. It is not something you really highlight about him as player.
STAMINA/LEADERSHIP: You get a natural born leader with Bruno and he very often the first to track back and go up and down the pitch. If he loses it you can bet your bottom dollar he will take it right back. If a teammate loses it he is the first to pull back. He has very high on field IQ which may explain why he says he hopes to be a coach one day.
ABILITY TO GET OUT OF TIGHT SPACES: Has no problem doing this and if the Portuguese league is a turn off for you he has done it in the CL vs Barcelona.
SETPIECES: Dam near automatic. World class penalty taker and his free kicks are brilliant as well scores a lot of them.
His vision passing and overall ability in the final third is of the best quality I have personally ever seen in Sporting.
***I posted this a few pages back. Hope it helps!
At the end of the day its a gamble really as people have said before
The likes of KDB, Salah, Mane didnt teams queueing up, still they turnt out to be decent
Plenty have came in from non top 5 leagues into the PL and have been a success
I'm not gassed about it as our board has fecked up almost every transfer since SAF and I do not trust them at all. We are like a reverse Midas, turning gold into mediocrity.
