Hes a 10, but more a goalscoring mid than a creative playmaker.
It's looking good! Those Stone and Rio tweets speak volumes. Looks like it's on!
Are we happy?
It's all subjective really, I'd give him a 9 personally, loses a point for the beard but still sexy AF.
Is this guy any good? Can't say I know that much about him.
I just Wiki'd him and his career does not seem all that impressive.

There’s no way Rio is sitting on twitter or redcafe looking at rumours like the rest of us
He’s obviously well connected with the club and football in general, he never usually randomly does tweets like that either. I get being cautious but this is a slam dunk.
He's shite, stay away!
Well at least this time it’s English press reporting it. Portuguese press is seemingly about as reliable as Daily Star.
I typically hate stats but aren't his assists pretty high as well.
Delete this, man.
Wonder if we will give them Gomes with a buy back clause?
Everyone is gonna be very disappointed, when you realise this is the Fernandes we are signing!

A player we could have signed all.of last summer.
It's clear we haven't got the quality needed in midfield, but maybe Ole wanted give players time to see if he could improve them like he's done with Fred, for example. That, and the amount of injuries we have seems to have forced his hand. That said, nothing has been confirmed so I won't be getting excited until this is official. That's if the deal does go through, of course.
Hopefully he's better than our last few transfers from the Portuguese league if true. But why wasn't it done in the summer if we were interested.
this is the time for muppet happiness not muppet misery!
Probably not all told but we’ll take anything
He plays as the most offensive in a midfield 3 for Sporting, he stays high up. 32 goals and 18 assists last season there, and so far 13 goals and 13 assists. Under Ole he would probably play as a 10 which is not much different.
He's got a bit of bite about him, he received 16 yellow cards last season, he already has 9 this season.
Great question.
You know, I've always wondered what the difference is and why everyone says we need a 10 and not that we need an 8.
Anyone ??
Two questions:
1) How good is he really?
2) Given the talk in the summer was that he's someone who would take Pogba's place, would signing him be another indicator that Pogba will be gone in the summer?

Not every signing needs to be a world beater in all honesty. If he's better than whoever he replaces in the first team then it's a good signing.
Yeah in fairness it’s the one time it’s relevant

Sure I remember Rio tweeting in the summer, possibly regarding Dybala or De Ligt.
Confident Bruno is signing though.
I'd probably throw it in the stats arent everything column? Also a big thing with looking at stats mainly for players in that league is how big of a difference there are with the best players/teams and the league average.
That my view. He’s a Lingard replacement if we sign him and my granny would be an upgrade of his recent form.
Refuse to believe this until the Italians get on it (Romano, Di Marzio..)
I'm curious to see how you're going to use your 37,000th post.
They're shite now. Keep up.
According to them he was signed in the Summer.
The Italians were adamant that we are going to sign him last summer. We didn’t
If this means we see less of Lingard then I'm all for it.
I'd rather have BBC than the Italians.
Looks like there's some legs on this transfer unlike in the summer.
Underwhelming. A squad player.
They said we were close as far as I recall, but neither said it was a done dealio. Could well have been right too if this is anything to go by.
I would say that Bruno is essentially the Lampard sort of player.
