Yes, you missed the sarcasm. Unless I have missed the sarcasm in your post. And then these posts would go on ad infinitum.
Wasn't he from Rio Ave?
You missed sarcasm bro. A lot of it.
It's a shit song so you didn't miss anything.
Depends on the Liverpool game. I'll certainly have no desire to watch more football after a 5-0 drubbing or something.
It's on Friday evening, before the Liverpool game.
Oh. For some reason I thought it was Sunday evening. I even checked Livescore.
I should probably get myself checked out. Or listen to Craig David as punishment.
Where are you from that you don’t know the lyrics to 7 days let alone not even know who Craig David is?
I'm not sure you've really been following this if you think we only opened negotiations today.
Craig David tells everybody who he is for a start.
Cancelled my plans for tomorrow night, I'm not missing the biggest going away party in the history of Portugal.
Hungary.
The song's Wikipedia page says that it lost out on the award for best single to Robbie Williams' Rock DJ and I know THAT song. So maybe it's more like a genre thing rather than location because having listened to the song now, it's about as far from what I'd generally listen to as it's humanly possible to be.
People make it up as they go along just so they can be little angry beavers.
Which is so surprising, considering it looks like it's pretty nailed on we're actually signing a midfielder!
That’s Sporting’s choice and not ours, I would suggest. It looks like Bruno is available after the Lisbon derby and not before, certainly not for an amount of money that makes sense. Perhaps that’s what Sporting have had the agents working on, finding a buyer for £x amount after the derby. I imagine we asked how much it would cost to have him before the derby and it was either a disproportional amount or they simply weren’t willing to sell.
If I were United I wouldn’t really pay an extra £5m to have him sooner either.
He came up through Sporting academy, played 20+ senior games in a single season at Sporting, and was snatched right after Sporting's game with United in 2003, when he, at age 18, tormented our defenders on the field.
Twice
oh I know, just meant it's a risk by them. If he tears an ACL or breaks a leg, that's a lot of money gone ... I get it's an important derby and, let's face it, chances of injury are the same as always. But still, why risk it if you need the money?
Come on, keep up, even I know that!
If a deal has been agreed and its a given at this stage, its mad United would be happy for him to play tomorrow vs Benfica. But thats peak mufc negotiating today. Clowns. Like a previous poster mentioned, alot of United fans will be watching that praying he doesnt take any proper hard hits.
Knowing our luck at the minute, it will literally be worse case scenario. Bruno does his ACL / Lingard gets a new contract.
Stuff of nightmares

Perhaps or perhaps Bruno won't play vs Benfica at all, but still attending to training sessions to keep himself fit.
Last summer Dybala was in a bag, so we don't really know what's happening.
Maybe just maybe Sporting was asked something too. Don't moan just for the sake of it.
I never even heard his name before! I mean, I might have. It's the most average name you can think of, really. Doesn't exactly stand out. I never listened to 50 Cent in my life but the name's easy to remember.
I did an impromptu survey among friends and two never heard of him, the third said he was "some singer who had a famous song about 20 years ago".
Look at that smug face.
Im just going hypothetically speaking on what has been widely reported.
*IF* any deal has been agreed and he does play, im just saying 9 clubs out of ten i dont think would be happy to take that risk. Most selling clubs wouldnt even play them if they had already agreed to a transfer.
But as @Van Piorsing mentioned, we dont know what the apparent deal is, if any, so could be any reason for the delay
Wouldn't you look smug after wrapping up deals for Fernandes and Soumare whilst getting £100m for Lingard off Napoli?
Sporting Versus Benfica game on at 9-15 pm. on Friday night. He will be in the stand on Sunday watching the game against Liverpool. Hopefully all done before the game with Burnley on Wednesday night.
Best negotiator in the business lads ... if all the other negotiators suddenly died.
Whose bright idea was it to give our new star signing the go-ahead to participate in one of Europe's most heated derbys?
I'm looking at you, Ed!

Brother of Mike Judge, creator of Beavis & Butthead.
Word on the street is that Mike based the character of butthead on his brother.
Wouldn't surprise me with all his footballing IQ.
What's he smiling for, how dare he
Looks like it’s going to be Burnley on Wednesday night that he makes his debut in.
