With a huge goal threat and has the ability to play as the #10. I'd say he's very different to Herrera on the ball but does share similarities off the ball.
Bruno Fernandes: Manchester United Player
- Thread starter Sultan

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
In a way, but it is mandatory for Portuguese clubs that are in the stock exchange to disclose their deals, as it has impact on the market.
What varies is how things are worded, when it's an awfull deal clubs tend to embellish it (like adding how much they saved from the sold player wages and stuff like that).
On this case, since financial aside, it's a nightmare they are already expecting backlash for the even worse results incoming, so they might as well show every single € gained.
With add ons I expect
What the feck have they done this for? To prove they got a decent deal?
Think they have to for their stock market I think.
I think for us to make the top 4, it will come down to how Fernandes and Pogba are deployed in midfield. I feel a change to 4-3-3 with both as creative #8s, especially against the lesser teams would be the way forward.
Yeah but public like that? Not just to shareholders?
yup, and Shaw's wage that's bandied about includes those add on's.
Has to be public otherwise obody else knows what to do with the stock.
Mental
It could work well with McT behind them.
No. Hes totally different to herrera.
Not sure if this has been linked yet, but if you have 10 minutes, check out 100 of his best passes: - brilliant video showcasing his creativity and vision.
Not at all.
From what I'm reading, presses and harries players off the ball, even though he's a no.10 works from box to box. Off the ball, he's quite similar. I seem to remember Herrera also having decent link up play and creating a few chances, hence me saying a better version. He's fundamentally a different player but they share certain traits imo
I gave up on watching highlight videos when Falcao broke my heart.
fecking hell I just clicked into this thread and it loaded at a few pages back - my god people are obsessed with Lingard.
Holy mother of Caligula's horse!!! Those outside foot through balls in the first minute and a half!!
He is a sand wedge on two legs. His assist numbers would be sky high is he had better finishers.
We used to do that back in the day when we were a PLC!

So our strongest staring XI is -
De Gea
AWB-Maguire-Lindelof-Shaw/ Williams
Bruno-Fred-McTom-Pogba
Rashford-Martial
?
James to play when we need pace.
Mata to replace a midfielder in cup games
(hopefully) Lingard, Pereria - solely in EL, FA against borderline non-league teams

I can replace Lingard. Anyone can replace Lingard.
Refrained from watching things like this before we signed him, but wow... what a player! if we can even get half of this from him, he will be a huge improvement. The only player who has this in him is Pogba.
When is he being announced officially
So really they got some good money. What's the point in these add ons since they're so achievable?
1 mill for putting on a kit, 1 mill for celebrating a goal
I said that previously they are guaranteed to get at least 65m out of this deal. They won't get the other 15m though as they are impossible to achieve. That's close to what they wanted from the start anyway so it's a win win for them, and of course we also got a good player so no complaints other than we could have done this much earlier in the window.
That's 10m euros as easy add-ons. The rest 15m is the ones that are hard to achieve. If he achieves them then he's worth the extra money we pay.
The one about him making 25 starts for the club is really strange. He's signing for 5+ years, something will have gone horribly, horribly wrong if he does not make 25 starts for us. He should be capping that one by the end of this season alone
Could debut at the weekend:

I would imagine it is a combination of two things. Firstly it acts as de facto amortisation in a deal where the selling club wanted money up front and secondly the buying club want to play down the fee as much as possible to the press for obvious reasons.
#16 anyone? Rojo confirmed on loan to Estudiantes. Think Bruno wears #16 for the national side.
Expect he will link up very well with Lingard
If Pogba ever comes back, playing 4-3-3 with Bruno, Pogba and Fred in the midfield would be nice. Sick of this stupid 4-2-3-1 personally
It's just a way of us giving them more money, but at a later date.
25 appearances will take him 6 months approx. Why give it all up front if you don't have too.
That’s most likely NET, which would put it around 140k pw gross, which is in line with what’s been reported earlier.
it’s either that or we’ve looked around at how much more we’re paying than everyone else bar Barca for this squad of players. The sheer amount we’ve wasted over the past 7 years has been obscene.
Yeah, it's easily achievable, if everything goes well, but provides some insurance against flops. Not sure if fecking Sanchez made 25 appearances for us in his 1.5 useless years with us
