I'm really not sure he's right for us but I would absolutely take him in a deal where two players go the other direction.
Even with some fairly reliable UK press talking about Fernandes, I still don't believe we will get it done. Some excuse will pop up about demands/value or Sporting will refuse to take the shite players we are supposedly willing to offer as part of any deal, or it will come out that he wasn't our first choice etc.
Hopefully I'm wrong of course as I would love us to sign a player of his ability but this club has had me defeated and ultra pessimistic for a long time now...I'm actually expecting a Lingard renewal!

Things aren't great. Commercial revenues have been flat since 2016, while the wage bill has ballooned by 43% in the same period. Luckily for United, the Premier League has done a good job selling TV rights. We made a profit of £19m last year but that will have evaporated with our lack of CL football this season. Things will only get worse if we miss out on CL again next year, which would result in the value of our Adidas deal dropping by a third (a deal that Liverpool are about to surpass with Nike).
No surprises when you look at who was booted out in the summer - the club is (sensibly) trying to strip back and reduce costs.
This is what being let down on transfer time and time again has done for me too. I fully expect Simon Stone or Di Marzio to tweet how we are not actually in for him or not bowing to his agents demands etc.
Inter with all this buying rises my concern for our Europa League push...
Which is sensible. Overpaid and under performing staff are culled from any business.
I don't disagree. We have been rewarding abject failure with astronomical salaries for far too long. Biggest wage bill in Premier League history and look at how we're performing. It's laughable.
Amazingly bad management really, I suppose selling clubs and player agents will always try and squeeze you if you publically announce that you can do things no other club can in the transfer market.
I don't know why but really can't stand this guy. I have no rational explanation for it. I'm also convinced that he just makes shit up for the sake of it. Has he ever been right about anything?
Italian sides famously do not give a feck about EL so dont be worrying
I'd take Ruiz over Bruno...
Eitherway, we need bodies. We actually need 2 CM right now so i never have to see Pereira play again for utd

Alternatively, we were prepared to buy him for the potential he was showing, but not at the price Newcastle wanted, but have now backed out as he has not progresses as anticipated.
That shows good sense imo.
I think he'd be a huge success in the MLS but his career in Europe has nosedived rather rapidly.
Because he wants to leave the PL and has stated so.
What is it with the naysayers who cannot wait to put the boot into the club even when there's no reason to do so?
Remember when people wanted him here when he was at West ham, despite evidence he was utter trash
There is always excuse. Last few years only Pogba and Zlatan were top players who came here. For every other potential transfer we had some excuse.
Agent fee
Wants to play abroad
Wants to play in Spain
Salary
Signing on fee
Image rights
We don't want a player who really doesn't want to be here

Player's character doesn't fit
We were not interested anyway
Yes.
A January transfer or in the summer when his contract expires? Personally I hope it's the latter, we can't afford to let anyone go really.
