Bruno Guimaraes

No he's not

But he's also very good, is a good age, knows the league and is available

I don't think he's worth anywhere close to £100mil but this is the market we're in

It's the market that we've helped create. £100m shouldn't be the price of every half decent player.

And I'm not saying that's what Bruno is but I'd expect £100m to get us the next David Silva, Gundogan or De Bruyne. He's not in that bracket.

I don't care about the price in and of itself but what happens when we actually do go in for a player of that calibre? £200m?

I'd be really happy with him joining but I'm also wary of us allocating a disproportionate amount of our summer budget on someone who isn't amongst the very best in the game.
 
I agree with Tugay One Cup as this would be a more expensive signing than Nunes (the player a lot of supporters want to get rid of alonside Kalvin Phillips)

Jacks wages will ensure he remains with us next season. Fingers crossed he reverts to 22/23 form but it’s hard to see where he will play as first choice unless KDB or Bernardo leave

I actually think Bernardo is wasted as a winger. So we could switch Doku to the right and keep Jack on the left.

Or barring that he plays alongside Phil with Rodri behind which looks fragile unless both wide players are wingbacks.

Proven in the EPL already , thats why Im more for Bruno than for Neves.

Rodri - Guimmares would be colossal.

That pair would provide a great physical edge and protection to our midfield, especially if Doku and Savio do end up being our wide options.

If the release clause options are true, hopefully it would be straightforward to do this deal. Proven in the Premier league and given the lack of European football for Newcastle next season, would almost certainly be keen to move on.
 
PSG reportedly have withdrawn interest in Bernardo, so he may well be staying and Pep has said they would leave together.

They would and I thought that, but since our interest in Guimaraes seems strong I’ve spoken to Newcastle fans and there is much more to his game than that. He provides much more creativity and attacking threat than I realised and is closer to a Gundogan than another Rodri,though he can do that too when needed.
As I have said before they talk about how he ghosts into spaces. Compared to Martin Peters by them which is before my time but think that’s a good thing.

Hold onto your hat.! It’s only going to get worse. Chelsea will be at it again, without a doubt and I I think the rags will be in for anybody we show an interest in..

It will show how fucked the finances of football is if no one can afford to pay £50m for Bernardo Silva!?

I don’t think it is a money thing. I think Bernardo wisely realizes that since Barcelona(his dream club) can’t afford him he is best off staying here. I’m sure there are clubs that can afford him just none he desires.

If either Madrid club came in, he’d probably go. Ditto Milan clubs.
 
City will end up paying the release clause in full

Identical case to what happen with Aston Villa & Grealish

Madrid possibly, Milan not so sure. I think now he knows he can go back to Lisbon in 2 years if he stays, maybe even one year we’d take less than his release.Where if he goes anywhere else for 50 mill they will want more than a 2 year contract, probably 4 and he might never get back to play in Lisbon. That why I think theres a good chance he stays.

I do too, for the record. His interest would be piqued by those clubs, but they’d want 3 year deals.
