he isn't an improvement, would be another sideways step pluging a hole where other areas are more vital which is our form recently with transfers.Genuine question, who do people expect to see in January if Bruno is allegedly not good enough? I would be astounded in the most positive way if we even manage to get him, a player of his calibre. That would be an incredible purchase for January.
He has legs, aggression, passion. He is exactly what we need, IMO.
Disagree. He can play a 6 and an 8. His biggest asset is being able to play those positions excellently. If we can get him for 70m that’s great business.This guy aint a 6 and therefore shouldnt be a priority.
next question is that at his peak is he anywhere near a Gundo, KDB at their peaks? - answer is no....is he even Foden level - No...or Bernardo Silva level - No -
I dont get why we are going for this guy if we are.....he just isnt all that...I think this is another example of a transfer that if we do go through with it we will regret in the future (Phillips, Nunes being two other examples of this)
Anything more than 50m and we are getting ripped off and we are getting a player well below required standards for the next incarnation of this team which should be looking to get back to the top....
Newcastle is his level
He's wank.Back to Paqueta?
Not a good fit for us. He’s good at penalties for a start.Back to Paqueta?
Death by faint praise!He’s a good player and better than all our current midfield with the exception of Rodri. Others, possibly even better could join and reinforce the midfield in the summer. We will need 3 midfielders replacing the ones that look likely to leave
he’s arguably one of the best box to box midfielders in the prem? who could we get in jan thats better? his level will improve if he joins, super confident of this one. hopefully we get this doneThis guy aint a 6 and therefore shouldnt be a priority.

The finance doesn’t work that way. We have much more than 80M and whatever his salary may be.Death by faint praise!
Let’s wait for those “others, possibly even better” to show up before slinking last years profit on Bruno!!!
Guimaraes, many times. Ederson very little. Reijners 1 or 2. I'd take him over the former 2.How many people on here have actually watched multiple full 90s of Ederson, Reijnders or Guimaraes? You just have to assume and hope that City’s scouts have done their jobs and chosen someone that will work
I watch Seria A Rejinders is pretty consistant sitting as a holding and has added a few goals to his game when he advances in midfield, also has some pace to his game which with our high line and tendency to get caught by the counter may help , whether the rigours of the prem would be a different challenge only him coming would tell.How many people on here have actually watched multiple full 90s of Ederson, Reijnders or Guimaraes?

Ederson not watched as many Atalanta games but their postion and consistency makes me think he is probably doing a good job and seems decent the few I have watched.
As for guimeres, only watched maybe 10 geordie games a season and never seen what the fuss is about
To be fair, we are not exactly talking about hidden gems from small teams. We are talking about players from well known teams in big leagues. Without exaggeration I think I have watched these players between at least 15-30 times each. I guess it depends on if you watch 1-3 games a week of PL football or 10+ games a week of football from multiple leagues.How many people on here have actually watched multiple full 90s of Ederson, Reijnders or Guimaraes?

Haha! I understand how the finance works and was merely pointing out that one Guimares equals our highest profit ever, so he can’t be a knee jerk reaction…especially given the £200M we spunked on Grealish, Phillips and Nunes!The finance doesn’t work that way. We have much more than 80M and whatever his salary may be.
He is the one. But will be expensive as fuck
Strange how split blues are over him. He is a brilliant player & works his ass off. He’s exactly what we need in midfield right now. Him & Rodri would be unplayable
