This is the boom bust cycle of the muppet life.I feel like everyone needs to chill the feck out, Di Marzio is far from the gospel. You're all setting yourselves up for major disappointment, I can already see the angry posts in a weeks time when we've signed no one
I think this means bye bye Pogba though
ZZZIIIPPP!That is what my Muppet juices have been waiting for all summer
@SirAF @VanGaalEra @Ban @Acquire Me @Grylte @GaryLifo @ivaldo @VP89 you know what time it is

Yeah definitely, he spent time at a few different clubs in Italy so not hard to see why the Italian journos have inside knowledge on this.
️According to DiMarzio, Bruno already signed for City in May. Not sure how anyone can take him seriously now.
He said he signed for city? Show me the quote
Gianluca is obviously not a fan of our recent signings:
After Maguire, a deal closed yesterday, another blow for Manchester United: the club coached by Solskjaer reinforces itself in midfield with Bruno Fernandes' arrival from Sporting CP
When did we land a previous blow? And how many times has this deal been "close"?

Exactly! People may believe a signing like this makes no sense if we are going to get the best out of Pogba, but based on preseason it seems that Ole doesn't agree with that and sees him playing deeper with a license to break forward.
Why are you sceptical? He would play next to him in a three man midfield with a number 6 sitting ?
Saying he signed was a slight exaggeration, but he gave the impression that a deal was inevitable: https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/man-city-set-to-close-deal-for-bruno-fernandes-the-latest
Both Bruno and Pogba prefer to push up to help with attack, if we have our fullbacks also push up that’s a lot of pressure on McTominay. We’d need our fullbacks to sit back and our wingers to stay wide for that to happen- and none of our wingers bar James actually like staying wide.
As I mentioned in another thread I think it works like this hopefully :
City do very well with both De bruyne and Silva and sometime start all three Bernardo, Silva and KdB together. I cannot see why Fernandes and Pogba cannot play together.
Yeah especially on Serie A transfers. Sampdoria have a sell on clause for Fernandes so best guess is that's where he got the information from.
Yeah United briefing the press could easily be a negotiation tactic too. Sporting are under pressure this summer to demand a high fee for Fernandes because of what Benfica got for Felix but Fernandes has a release clause and Sporting have to give up 5M every time they reject that release clause so his value really isn't that high.
