Dont let me down mate.Absolutely bro
If Dybala is being offered as part of the lukaku deal I think we have to take it.
It would take us all summer to negotiate for a player of his ability. The thought of him going to Spurs last week made me realise how much I love PD here. All 3 seems like a dream but never know.
Can't see more than 3 but its most liekely 2. Maguire and fernandes are the most nailed.So that's Bruno, Maguire, Dybala (Lukaku replacement) and Savic (Pogba replaecment) we're looking to bring in, good to know there are only 8 days left
Dybala rumours have only just surfaced as well. No way we would sign 4.
You have to be cordial to the new comer and not set a high benchmark. I was actually thinking about asking if he can walk. Then I set the notch a bit higher then that
I've not seen much of him and I have unfairly slated him, which is admittedly no better than people bigging him up when they haven't seen him. For my reference, which other player would you say he is similar in playing style and skill level to? (past or present, if you dont mind answering)
Dybala, Maguire and Fernandes to add to AWB would be a class window for us.
If it does not happen you will see and feel the anger of Ban. He will find you and tickle you until you die out of laughter. Be afraid...Have faith my fellow Muppet
Why would it not be concrete? Sampdoria will be aware if they are going to receive a sell on clause or not.
Hopefully he's not as bad as the last two fellas we signed from Sporting.
Bruno would be a nice adiction to your squad I'm certain of that. Also as a Benfica supporter can you speed up the process just a little bit? It would be nice if he was sold before we play Sporting at the Portuguese Supercup.
Indeed or Raúl Jimenez, he was only a usefull sub in PT and now he's a solid PL striker.
Interesting stat line.
Why not put China league and Wales league players there as well. Just to add more variety to it.
I have stated that in my opinion his "ceiling" In terms of quality he can produce in the EPL is probably a Christian Eriksen level which admittedly is pretty good.
In term of play style it differs but he for sure has that goal scoring instinct that Frank Lampard had in his prime.
Yes the Portuguese league is no better then the Chinese I guess.
If that happen then we lost because then we have to count on Diaby to do something
You guys are going to rinse us.Cheers bud, the Eriksen comparison is good, not so much Lampard as he was one of my least favourite players style wise (with admittedly good end product). For what its worth, I don't think you need to worry as I'm pretty sure Di Marzio is just having a mare today. I don't honestly see this or the Dybala deal happening.
Like I said I only said Lampard for the goal scoring part. They are not much similar besides that. Bruno is an engine who has no problem tracking back and being the first line of press to get the ball back from opposition plays. He is great at Set pieces and his shots from 25 yards out are almost automatic. His passing is also better then those stats above showed.
Potential wise for sure Eriksen. Maybe even a poor mans KDB.
You should probably pitch him to be his agent. You're doing a better job of talking him up.
If we can get this over the line, that would be a really good Summer. Fernandes, AWB, Maguire as nailed in first XI, and James for depth.
Dybala kong
Please be true.
Man, this is looking like 2014, where we got Falcao,Di Maria and the like.
Not happening if we sign Dybala IMO. Don't think it's happening either way personally, and not convinced he'd actually suit us too well really.
Maybe we'll sign both and tell leicester to feck off
This sounds very promising then. We definitely need creativity in the middle.
Why, not a same position.
Why not? Lukaku/Dybala would seem to be a "straight" swap or maybe us paying couple of millions more. Bruno at 70m and Maguire at 80 or something would bring our net spend to 200m. We should be ok with that I'd reckon if we are set on investing into the squad. Can't see us selling Pogba this season.
let's think about this for a second.
If we buy Maguire (which many seem to think is nailed on - but others suggest is still a way off) that is at least £80million
Bruno Fernandes (which many seem to think is nailed on - but others suggest there has been no bid received) will cost £65-£70 million.
Exchange deal - we pay £20 million and get Dybala for Lukaku.
That is a net spend in the region of £240million if nobody else is sold.
We are never going to get all 3.

Basically the same position.. Ole's been playing 4231, played a 4312 last year, and might do a 433 on occasion. In a 4231 against easier opponents, itd be Dybala at the 10 (where Bruno Fernandes exclusively plays). Same as 4312. For 433, Dybala would likely go right wing in tougher games, and we would have a more solid midfield. Don't think theres a chance that we get both and I don't really want us to either, just wouldn't fit in together.
People say Bruno Fernandes is a midfielder but he isnt really. He's a pure #10, and a goalscoring one more than a creative one. I just think he'll flop if he comes to United. Not saying he's a bad player, just being overrated currently by the stat line (heavily influenced by unsustainable production and uncharacteristically bad goalkeeping), while also I just don't think he's really the player we need, even without Dybala. Dybala is IMO a few levels above him both in what hes proven and potential, while also bring far closer to what our attack needs IMO.
Not a money issue, I don't think any signing is really a budget issue (Maguire and others are what is Woodward willing to reasonably spend). More squad building issue with Bruno Fernandes, as I don't think he's the type we need even if we don't sign Dybala, but if the interest is real, then it'll only happen if we fail to get Dybala as in the team Dybala would play as the #10 which is the only position Bruno Fernandes has ever really excelled in.
Anyone gets a KdB vibe about him? With KdB final ball seems to be more refined.
What is woody doing? He's had all summer to wrap up deals and leaves it until now to get 3 over the line at once. Does he get a new budget to spend each month and was waiting for 1st of August? Maybe buy one tomorrow and then one on Thursday, spread it on the balance sheet.
Dybala and Fernandes would change our style of play. Crazy if we actually pull this off
