We were linked very early on.... I suspect he's on our 'list'.
Doesn't really matter why. The only thing that matters is that whilst he's still here, with no new contract, our next move is up in the air.
Tottenham remain interested in Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes, according to Sky sources.
Sources in Portugal claim a Tottenham representative met with Sporting yesterday – but the clubs were apart in their valuation. We are told Fernandes’ agent held talks with the Sporting president and sporting director where it was made clear the player wants to leave the club.
Sporting Lisbon are thought to be holding out for £64m.

in a crap league...
Has someone longed off the summer 2019 transfer window thread? I can't see it anywhere
And now Real Madrid have been linked Sky can stop reporting fale stories about us every 15 minutes to keep you all refreshing their page
Seems like we actually gave it a fair shot...
Sporting's president reveals the only team that tried to sign Bruno Fernandes
The talented footballer was linked to a host of clubs during the summer transfer window, but only one tried to lure him away from the Primeira Liga side.m.livesoccertv.com
Understandably rejected to be fair considering the conditions of the add ons, though I didn't fully understand his statement plus another €20m ($22M) in bonuses for winning the Premier League and the Champions League
Was that amount split somehow between the two possible achievements or did Spurs have to win both
Oh shit, he has started the season well.
Out of first 10 games he has 7 goals and 5 assists.
Within those 10 games there has been only one (!!) game where he has not scored nor assisted.
And Sporting is in bad situation, so it's not like he is just riding on the wave of teams good form. Out of 11 total 11 games played they have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 5, they sit on 3rd place in the league.
Also A Bola claimed that we would go at him again in January (which makes sense because according to gossip, Eriksen seems quite likely to leave then as well + their chairman admitted they were willing to let him go already in summer). Just hoping that he is still attainable target at that time. If he continues this form to mid Jan, we might be looking at 70 mil EUR asking price...

Wasn't that what Sporting demanded in the summer to begin with?
I don't think so, if you read this article that is linked above.
We offered 45 mil (+ unrealistic add-on clauses worth 20 mil), their chairman basically said that it seemed very-very unlikely that those clauses would materialize. This kind of implied that if we would have offered bit below it as straight up sum - say 55-60 mil it could have happened. But this is clearly down to interpretation.
That was sporting former president Bruno de Carvalho. The new one is a bit like Toby from the Office. A very strange and none people skills whatsoever.From what I remember it was always Sporting demanding 70 mil up front with us offering 45 base + bonuses that would take it up to 60.
The Sporting president is also not the most trustworthy of characters.Nabil Bentaleb can probably tell us more about how he is looked at in Portugal but wasn't it rumored that he let the ultras into the training ground to beat up his players?
that offer made was very laughed by the Portuguese media because it was like 20M euros on things like “Tottenham to win the League or the European cup” so not very reliable payment
So they replaced one weirdo with another weirdo?
Toby always got stick only for the reason that Michael was straight on as***le!
I mean literally, the way he behaved with Toby would deserve smack across the face...with barbed wire...wrapped around baseball bat.
From a crazy guy to a silent weirdo
Toby was the worst come on.
