Noise that Bruno is agitating to not play against Benfica today. Hopefully this is actually decent strategy with Bruno kicking a fuss, but we all know it'll end up Ed scrambling and having a 70m offer turned down on deadline day.

I honestly think the much talked about plan of "Bruno plays in the derby and then signs for United after" seems like lunacy. Whoops, someone kicked his leg to poo poo in the derby. Now what?

"We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you"



Then they just would punt the deal 6 months.Sporting is willing to take that risk. Better they loose with Bruno on the field, than loose and be permanently wondering what would have happened if he played.i think that would legit topple sporting's president, because that club is a trainwreck of drama.

Wolves rumored to sign some 19-20year old Ecuadoran striker named Campana. 6-2 with a bit of pace and good holdup play apparently. Very much in the same mold as Jimenez. Looking forward to signing him and Nuno continuing to play the same 11 every week.

E: also recalled their loan of Ryan Giles (from league 1 ffs) a left winger because apparently our backup wingback did his hammy. The state of wolves transfers.

No, that we’re recalling league one players to our senior team because we have the thinnest squad on the planet.

I read somewhere that Spinazzola wasn't going to pass a medical or something. I know Milan was after Politano for some reason earlier but I thought that was all settled since this seemed like it was going through.

Politano barely plays under Conte; his agent has some work to do.

I remember when Swansea fans were aghast at the idea of a young player sitting on the bench, too. PL money changes people.

Now they're still aghast but only if it's a player from our own academy, Chelsea is fine (exciting even).

I don’t have a problem with Giles in a vacuum. Dude was a stud in my fm19 save.

The issue is we have the smallest squad and have played the most games of any team in the league. The team is loving worn out and it shows in our recent performances. We needed players BEFORE we lost both our big summer pickups, and now we need like 6 bodies. We’ve signed 0. Lots can happen in two weeks, but we need help desperately.

Yeah good time to start looking for alternatives, god forbid having a coherent transfer strategy with targets.

https://mobile.twitter.com/utdreport/status/1218489669169635329

E: and I'm not saying United aren't right in walking away if the price tag starts to get too high*, but ffs it's January 18th and you are now starting to think about looking for alternatives, like what the gently caress are you doing? How do you not have prioritised lists of pre-scouted targets ready to go for all positions? What the gently caress is United's supposedly huge scouting and data analysis network doing?

(* I'm not sure 80m€ is outrageous for a rated player ITYOOL 2020 especially when Sporting know United are pretty desperate, and also have to ask for a high price due to the way they financed Fernandes' transfer with loans etc, but who knows)

He's a fast wingback that can't really defend, and he hasn't been able to displace a 32 year old traditional winger at the RWB spot.

Current theory is Bruno will go through at the end of the window and Sporting are loving about to get as many games out of him as possible.

Though I can also see them turning around to Ed as he goes "fifty million and eighty two euros?" with a hearty "gently caress you now we want 80m"
