Was there ever any actual credible evidence that we were interested in this guy? I know Di Marzio said a deal was close, but other than that?

Jamie Jackson's mentioned Bruno a couple of times, but he's been quiet in general this summer.
 
I'm almost stunned no other big clubs like R.Madrid are after Bruno... perhaps it's because he's already in the bag ?
 
So he flew from Lisbon to another airport in Portugal and that means "done dealio"?
No I'm gussing the private plane was based at Lisbon and has flown to FARO to pick him up. I think that's what he meant.
 
My take on this would be, Eriksen is our first priority. If we could strike a deal with levy for say 50-70m we would prefer that. Else we would just pay what ever Sporting is asking for Bruno and get him instead.

Levy would absolutely love this, he'd string us along until there is no time left while he wraps up the Bruno deal himself.
 
Or clubs have scouted him and have doubts that he's actually good enough.
You really think so ? So many players from Portuguese league are playing now in best clubs and Bruno had two solid seasons and he's only 24.
 
This was never happening. just a bunch of no mark italian journos generating clicks.
 
Really not convinced we have ever been in for Bruno, every link seems to have been from a Sporting source to push the price up but bar Spurs there seems to be very little interest in him from Europe's top clubs, very strange scenario, wouldn't be surprised if he is still at Sporting come Friday.
 
Would rather have Eriksen but doubt we are in for either. I think the Bruno stuff has been bollocks all summer and the Eriksen stuff is a brief to make it look like we tried. The thing is, that looks worse than if we just stayed silent and did nothing.
 
Would take either at the moment but can see either happening.

During past years we have been silent in the last week of the Window as far as i can remember. Now there is too much smoke for things not to happen. Let's hope!

I highly doubt the club think pretending to be in for Eriksen and failing would be good optics.

Wishful thinking. Both very unlikely, if we're lucky, we get an ok'ish striker once we sell Lukaku
 
What is the obsession over Bruno Fernandes ?.It's like "We have to sign Bruno "Universally stated by our fans.

We watch the premier league games,or at least the live ones,maybe some spanish?But by the sounds of it we have all watched Sporting Lisbon games last year ,or we just going on highlights of him on You Tube.?Do we watch every Portuguese game? I doubt it.WE haven't even bid for the player the last update that came from Sportings Director so why are we so mad to sign him? I mean is he better than Martial? Lingard? How do we know?
 
Did you bother checking the scheduled flights to Manchester though?

No, it's a commonly known fact that Bruno is deftly afraid of flying, and so needs to be slipped a small hallucinogenic prior to getting on a plane. This is not practical on a commercial airliner for many reasons (mostly legal bureaucracy).
 
Been trying to sign the cnut on FM and he’s not interested in joining. Reckon that’s that.
 
I still think he's one of our options or at least was. Why would we go the entire window not looking for a CAM and then be interested in Dybala and Eriksen at the last minute?
 
I think that i prefer Bruno to Eriksen as Bruno is more of a goalscorer too.

Bruno Fernandes was born in Portugal. He is portuguese. Zidane has a specific taste for players who wasn´t born in France.
 
Clubs are put off by his quality passing, dead ball technique and general ability to score for fun.

It’s a strange one.

He could just be a massive bellend.

I honestly know nothing about him as a player.

Just seems everyone raves about him, he's easily available for an affordable fee, and no one has bought him.

Sporting fans say he has a lot of qualities. He also played in a lesser team than Joao Felix and scored/created more and is valued 40m less than Atletico paid.

His highlight reel on YouTube is so good it is actually worth having to listen to the shit music that accompanies it.

I’m truly baffled by it, the season he just had was outstanding to be fair.

I’m a fan for sure and hope he does get a move to a big club.
