Bruno Guimaraes

Standard: Some clubs believe they can close the transfer of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United for a value closer to £80 million than the release clause in the player’s contract.

Haha. Straight from Toon’s mouth. Negotiate with clubs at a lower fee than his RC then boom, when his RC expires the fee goes up.

Is @RayCTID still dying on his hill!? Fuck me, it’s deserving of the classics.

Didn’t we have Laporte change his mind last minute as well? (He obviously joined circa 18 months later but still)

Only cause he’d broken his ankle just before the Euros

I've eased off a little but still not taking anything for granted.

Fair enough.

It’s because Newcastle need the money and they know it’s highly unlikely anyone will pay the £100mil clause so it’s a double edged sword. Can they risk not negotiating to get a deal done before the clause expires.

Whenever I’ve watched him I’ve felt he’s not press resistant enough to play as a lone 6 for us. Loses the ball a little too easy when he’s being pressed IMO. Would be good alongside Rodri and Foden, but don’t think he’s ideal to deputize for Rodri. Also wonder why we hardly seem to look outside the PL for new signings? So many other great options if we’re looking to spend 100m

He isn't the greatest but still a lot better bet than Kalvin Phillips and the banned Paqueta (providing the release clause is 100% legit). Still think both Nunes and Grealish are worthy for another crack at first team place. Along with Kova, Bobb and Lewis we will be will covered for midfield

I believe it when he has his photo on City's website. Or the very least he is booked for his medical at the CFG
