Any word on the Bruno Fernandes transfer? It has gone very quiet.
At least the Wan Bissaka updates remain positive.

I'm fairly confident we're getting him, everything has pointed to us signing him, even if it'll be a big fee.
Good timing too as it will soften the blow of the potential departure of Pogba.

Pogba needs to go. He wants to leave. I only players at the club who want to play for the club.

Wouldn't say it's good news on awb. Another bid rejected. Can't see utd paying what palace want upfront.

The differences between Palace and Utd on the AWB deal appear mainly to be around the initial payment and then the basis of the staged payments.
It doesn’t sound like a deal can’t be done, Utd need to offer more up front plus change the details around the performance based payments. At the end of the day £50 to 60M for AWB is reasonable on the basis he is 21 and proven in the PL. In 5 years time if he is still at the club this would look like good business.

Doubt we will go again prob go for the Norwich guy now.
Can see this being a sham of a window and another season of dross.

I think AWB will be the second signing. A lot of talk about Pogba, he stays - good, he leaves - I think we have planty of options in the market. But what about Lukaku, we can't rely on Rashford only, plus I think he is better on the wing. So if Lukaku leaves, I really don't see any available striker, maybe Cavanni. But that's it.

This might sound daft but I genuinely think it would be a good signing. If Lukaku leaves, I'd like to see us target Salomon Rondon. That gives Rashford the chance to be number one striker for the season but also a different option if needed.
I appreciate it's hardly going to be the most popular option but if you sell Lukaku for £60m-£70m then you're saving two thirds of that to go towards another player and getting the back up striker who is a different type of player to Rashford and has scored goals in the Premier League. Kind of similar move to Spurs buying Llorente or Chelsea signing Giroud.

Rondon are you serious rj we have enough strikers who can't score. we have really become a laughing stock.

Yeah I am serious, I think Rondon is a pretty good player. Like I said it isn't going to be the most popular opinion but it's fairly low risk, Rashford would be free to be number one striker, Martial is there as well as a 2nd choice but Rondon would offer a different option. He has played in the Premier League for a while and maybe he would be happy with the chance to move to a club like United? He also scored more league goals than both Martial and Rashford last season.
The option we are looking at to replace Lukaku in the update the Ed gave was Sebastian Haller. Is he better than Rondon? Probably but I've not seen enough of him to say for definite. Probably far more expensive as well.

If Pogba goes and he is replaced with let's say Bruno Fernandes, Rabiot and AWB for the same money then I think it's good business. Look what Liverpool have done, especially with the Coutinho money. It's about building a team, not having a couple of superstars. Pogba is the icing on the cake we don't need right now, that will hopefully come in a couple of years when we have a hard working settled team. Hopefully.

i find it odd how players linked with united aren't trying to force a transfer like monsieur Pogba is trying to do, are things really that bad at United that players such as AWB and Harry Maguire aren't looking for a challenge?

I wonder if Ed Woodward has shares in SkyBet? they seem to just work on one transfer at a time and literally drag out the whole process.
