Looks a good player but that's it based on that 45 minutes. Can't see why a player like him would be a priority this summer though given the shit ton of other problems we have in our XI

Think its very good to be honest
You watching the game?
Looking good today. Some good touches, good passes and a couple of good shots. I think he would add a lot to our midfield.
It wouldn't be a proper player thread without some people drawing conclusions from nothing
Think he’s played fairly well, got a great shot on him and he’s had a few already which is something we don’t do enough. Hopefully he can sort our poor corners out as well. Not sure how he will play in same team as pogba though unless pogba goes defensive
He's a constant threat and one of the reasons Portugal are pushing for the win from first minutes.
In before City hijack this one like they did with Bernardo...
Looks like a number 10. If we had him and Pogba we would need a really mobile defensive midfielder
Best player on the pitch according to the all-knowing Jamie Redknapp.
He’s been decent. Bit trigger happy.
He's playing a lot better today but still hasn't done anything decisive, hope he turns it on further in the second half
Sign him
No as much as i hate to admit it, Bernardo Sivla has been the best
I am convinced he would start along with pogba and not as his replacement. The guy has all the attributes to be a Manchester United player. He will be brilliant signing for us, if we could add Rabiot , we would have the strongest midfield in the league according to me.
Also, how good has William Carvalho been today ! Does such a brilliant mop up job and is such a hard worker.

If we went for the diamond though, who would play where. Pogba at the tip would mean he has less defensive work to do.
I think this would leave us 75% of the way towards a sensational diamond, with someone like Matic or McTominay as the anchor.
Still, a very exciting prospect.
Portugal look fair more balanced in midfield today. Suits Fernandes a lot more.
He can sure hit a ball though. Was a big threat that first half. If he has a little more space to hit one in the second half I wouldn’t be surprised if he scores.

I'd play Bruno at the tip if they played together in that formation. Pogba's skillset of long range passes and through balls can still be used from central areas. Bruno's shot is a lot more lethal though.
He’s played on the right both games.
I think he’d do well either on the right of a diamond or a 4-3-3. He seems quite disciplined but versatile when he goes forward.
Carvalho plays well every time I watch him for Portugal.
I've been saying that we should sign him up. Play him and Pogba in a diamond. We have no wingers and there are no top class ones available this summer so lets play without them.
If Pogba leaves next summer then we can go back to a three man MF and sign someone like Sancho and move back to a 433.
We need more creativity and goal scoring. He ticks both boxes.

Yes he was , a couple of seasons ago I think. Not sure why the interest died down. The interesting thing is no one is even being linked to him at the moment.
Surely he is way ahead of DM's like Dier. I hope we see Carvalho in the EPL. He looks ready
He seems so static, I wonder if the pace of the PL would find him out
Perhaps. Portugal always set up defensively too. Some players are just better for their national teams for some reason as well.
He's like Mkhi but, imo, not for that reason as I think Bruno is pretty consistent.
when we were linked with Mkhi and everyone was excited I was saying what a poor transfer it'd be due to him being weak on the ball and that's where the comparison comes in for me. Like Mkhi, Mata and Kagawa, he doesn't hAve the press resistance to become a top midfielder.
He was excellent for Betis, too. Watching them this season he surprised me with how well and consistent he played.
I have a feeling Ole want to play 4-2-2-2, it is quite similar to 442 Diamond actually.
-----Rash----Lukaku-----
-----Pogba---Bruno------
-----Matic-----McD--------
Shaw--Lind----DC-----RB
With Rashy and Lukaku(or whoever) to provide the width and running. Pogba and Bruno offer goal threat and creativity.
He never stops running. He must cover crazy distances in games.
But then we're back to trusting Pogba to look after runners and help out the other two midfielders.
Carvalho is brilliant when he wants too. I’m glad I am finally being proven right.
Bruno and Bernardo have been fantastic.
Bruno and Bernardo have been fantastic.
He's outshone Frenkie De Jong so far, who has struggled to get a foothold in the midfield.
MOTWYW.

Looks ok about I wonder where is going to play for us? For me just feels like we need some square pegs in the right holes rather than players that maybe you sign when you've created a foundation to play from...
Not really, Bruno can drop deeper at periods if needed too. It just means he'd play at a more advanced role than the 2 behind him.
Would you say today is a good example of a Bruno Fernandes performance?
He picks up the same pockets on the right that Pogba does on the left.
If we got a DM too . Him on the Right Pogba on the left we would be a hell of alot better
So have any legit journalists linked him to us? I'd love him at OT
Gotten a bit excited about this now.
How certain are we lads?

He can do better for sure but today was a good performance. He showed his shooting ability he showed his pressing game and he showed his crossing ability.
Also keep in mind it is the end of the season and he is probably knackered especially since he played the most minutes out of any outfield player at Sporting this season.
