Bruno Guimaraes

[p.taker]

I'm watching him in Brazil's friendly versus the USA, and I've mentioned this before, but he's so damn slow. Getting run past like he's not there.

Plodri Mk II amirite

Plodri Mk II amirite

Unironically...

I've also mentioned trying to deploy someone like Nunes, who covers a lot of ground deeper next season, to take some defensive burden off of him.

 

[Delphinho]

Source? Watching the game live on Telemundo...

It was a joke

 

[JewelZee]

What do I know, lol...

 

[Andouble]

Would be a good fit in the team but at the same time I'd be kind of underwhelmed.

 

[Barcon]

Struggled reading that tweet, is he plastered?

The **** could at least try to speak English.

 

[super_city_si]

I dont see how he starts. Kovacic is better. So 100m for a back up? Hes an above average prem player imo.

Yeah, he looked labored for Brazil. Still saw that good vision, but not enough.

It feels like he'd have to be the fulcrum of your team for his full potential to show.

Your suggested alternative is to put our most one dimensional and bang average player into a position he has no business being in?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Also, since when was Damien considered ITK? I'm so far out of the loop at this point.

 

[JTBlue1999]

Bruno is good, but not 100m good. Would prefer the money be spent elsewhere if that's what Newcastle are asking for. Only way I'd be comfortable paying that kind of money for him is if Pep signs a year extension alongside it.

Get them down to 75-80m or go for a different midfielder.

 

[Holcombe bloo]

If it’s 100m or nothing, I’d prefer to see kovacic and gvardiol helping rodders out,sign a decent up and coming lb such as gutierrez

You'd miss out on the one we want for the sake of £20mill, if we can afford it that would be daft.

Sarcasm isn't your strong point

I was being sarcastic myself

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

7 goals, 8 assists, 9 bookings

Sounds pretty similar to Rodri then!

I'm watching him in Brazil's friendly versus the USA, and I've mentioned this before, but he's so damn slow. Getting run past like he's not there.

I really don't know what he offers that Lewis couldn't eventually or that Kovacic gives us now.

We have far bigger holes that need addressing, IMO.

Gundogan was hardly quick. Pace isn’t a commodity Pep puts high on his list of needs.

Source?

Looked like his right foot.

 

[richards30]

So now the same Newcastle lad who posted it has now said the clause hasn’t been triggered, imagine my shock. We don’t have the appetite to do another £100m transfer imo

Rodri needs more rest otherwise he risks burnout. We need to bring someone in and Bruno although expensive ticks all the boxes.

Arsenal will if they want him and he will make them so much stronger

Why does the money bother you?
Rice was £105m
Caicedo was £115m
Enzo was £107m
Antony £82m (incredible)

We will try to negotiate but the £100m is the release clause so it’s done deal

We went from Bellingham to rice to paqueta to nunes last year
Saved a lot of money but added zero to the squad

If Nunes can improve his first touch and how he receives the ball, such that he doesn’t lose it in dangerous areas like he did against Luton last season, then his opportunities within the team would dramatically improve.

He’d play a lot of games for us because his ability to cover ground and pull teams around is second to none.
