Any truth Ed's to the recent news that United are after Bruno Fernandes this months/ are in talks?

{Ed002's Note - The situation is unchanged.}

I struggle to see how we’re going to sign him now.

We wouldn’t go anywhere near Sporting’s valuation in the summer.
He has now signed a new contract and Sporting are in a stronger position because of that.

I think that stories are being floated to give the impression United are working on targets, rather than there being any actual intent.

I agree Danny - you hope our desperation for quality in midfield means we will just pay what is needed. However, I feel like this is a briefing from the powers above as a 'statement' after the City humiliation. However, I doubt it is anything other than interest.

Agree with danny also. seen this play out too many times before, although a small part of me still gets excited and hopeful.

Ed, just for clarity on this, we are interested but don’t like the price, is that correct?

{Ed002's Note - As I have previously clearly stated, yes.}

As I said the other day with the situation we are in we should just pay the money. The line from the club is we will spend if right players are available and will improve us. We wanted him in summer, clearly still want him so we just need to meet the asking price and get it done.

Nothing will happen this window - OGS will get sacked In March and the whole scenario will be repeated. Mark my words.

They (the board) are totally incompetent. Other clubs identify their player, pay what is asked and sign their man. UTD chase shadows trying to find a bargain and as we can see it doesn't work.

They don't like the price but they must have liked the 80 million price for Maguire. The club is run by absolute morons.

{Ed025's Note - very rich morons though damon..

The club haven’t briefed anybody, the story has come up because Ole and Phelan went to watch the Sporting v Porto match. Good news if we can get a deal done, sure some people will spin a negative out of it though.

You can say that again Ed. Morons to us but not stupid one bit in their own right. Out there for themselves and not the club.

{Ed025's Note - i think you may be right damon mate..
