Don't know about Bruno his passing doesn't look up to scratch! We really need Paqueta be will improve us not so sure Bruno will

Long passing isn't really why we'd be after Bruno to be fair. Not his game at all.

He's a workhorse that we'd bring in to pair with Rodri and do all the dirty work / running. Which will be sorely needed if Bernardo finally ends up leaving this summer.

Bruno G is a good player no doubt I'm just not sure on the 100M price tag that Newcastle have put on him. Although I will say Arsenal getting him wouldn't be ideal either.

If we're really going to a 3-5-2 next season how's this for an 11:

Ederson/Ortega

Akanji Dias/Stones Gvardiol/Ake

Paqueta Bruno G. Foden Rodri Grealish

KDB Haaland

Mate, people on here have been saying we are going 3-5-2 for the last few Summers, I've seen posters absolutely convinced.

I point out we aren't, because that's not the way Pep plays the game. They disagree, then they get proven wrong.

It's not happening under Pep, it really isn't.

Pep plays a 4, that can morph into anything from a 2, 3 or 4 depending on the situation. I don't see him changing his philosophy, and why would he.

It’s not even that. It’s 5 & 5 and deployed differently dependent on the opponent.

The day Pep goes 3-5-2, he’ll have Tony Pulis decked out in the club shop as his number 2.

I'm not the one saying it...I'm saying IF, based on the amount of chatter I'm hearing on line...

Apparently he's fed up with the deeper and deeper low blocks we're facing on a regular basis and thinks going to a 3-5-2 would make it easier to break teams down...

It's good of Pep to share his upcoming tactics online, I've never known Pep doing that before, have you?

I also doubt Pep will suddenly change the formation just because next season, that kind of sudden changes for player in our team that have played in certain way for years, that's not something can be done quickly in preseason and they need to adapt for it atleast a season to have some tangible results for it.

You know how our club needs to have stability each season to atleast qualify for champions league and Pep nor the club will want to risk that stability just to change to formation that Pep never done before.

Sooner or later Foden, Kev, Hoooolihaaaaan, or even Gvardiol can smack one over the top and the back five and occasionally six, hell bent on 90mins of blocks 'n deflections are out manoeuvred. It might take a good portion of the game but we find a way. Only the Arse have kept us out this season, and they reverted to the type of game yer'd see between Wigan and St. Helens.

Jesus starts for Brazil..ultimately sold by the club
Ederson doesnt start for Brazil. - shall we sell him and get Allison?
Maicon started for Brazil - one of the poorest signings since the takeover.

Paquetta is a downgrade on the players we have - fact
Bruno G - i said he was a better option than Phillips - fact

Brazil havent won the world cup since 2002 - fact
Brazil in the last 3 world cups have finished 7th, 5th and 4th - facts

Just because they play for Brazil it doesnt mean they are better than other players.

Bruno fernandes know plays in the same team as bernardo Silva and Dias - I know how id rather have

The Rags have got 11 Brazilians starting every week for them - !! We are not talking nationality here though more like Topiary of the furry letter box.
 
One thing I like about Bruno is that he seems to have a knack about being in the right place when the ball comes into the box. Something we've missed sorely since Gundo left in the Summer.

A midfielder with an eye for goals/arriving late into the box is worth a premium alone - never mind one that is fantastic at everything else too.
 
The thing is with Bruno Guimares is he has only signed a new 5 year contract in October. He is going to be super expensive.

Yeah i agree.

I'd rather have Kimmich.
That would also give our youngsters Lewis and Wright more time to learn, under him, and Pep!
