42 pages on a lad that will never be good enough to seriously challenge for a first team place with us.

Strange.

I agree. He's rubbish.

Well done Bruno. 6 months wasted you numpty!

If only there were people above him who could aporove these deals!

As for obsessing over his Instagram - have you ever seen other footballers accounts? What is he meant to do, have point of view shots of him sliding into tackles?

A young player who took too ambitious a loan move with a club that fully supported the move and Valencia who obviously were interested enough to request him in the first place (unless Bruno is their DoF too)

Lol, have you seen Fernando play this season? I thought we couldn't get worse than Garcia, and then Fernando came along and blew him out of the water.


I fear you may be right.

regardless of your opinion of them both, there natural position is very different to young Brunos.

A genuine question:

Do you actually believe the stuff you post, or are you just on a wumming mission ?

Yeh I agree, Zucculini is a box to box player, more similar to Fernandinho than Fernando, we won the league twice without a designated holding player in the starting 11. We don't need one, except maybe for the odd European away game.

Now, do you understand all that, or do you want me to draw you some pictures?

Oh, and in terms of you accusing me of wumming, I assume you mean my slating of Fernando? Well, the stats and the performances kind of back up my opinion of him. A very limited footballer who slows the team down in possession, doesn't want the ball, always plays safe, and looks laboured and slow when defending and doesn't read the game very well for a holding player.

There are dozens of pages on threads on Fernando, and the vast majority agree with my assessment, so I'm not sure how you could possibly come to the conclusion that I'm wumming? It's a widely held view, are the majority of people wumming, or are you just not a very good judge of a player, perhaps?

All those slagging this guy off - you watched him pre-season right? For a young lad in a new country / new team I thought he did well and showed he has a lot of potential ... Unfortunately his loan deal didn't go as we'd like ....

Totally agree mate. Unfortunately some people are judging him based on his Instagram photos instead of what they've seen of him on the football pitch.

He showed a lot of promise pre-season, but I think people are judging him on his choices rather than his pics.

He wouldn't have had an absolute outright choice to go to Valencia, he is our player and it's in our best interests that he plays as much game time as he can so we are to blame for loaning him to Valencia just as much as anyone in my opinion.

For a 21 year old who had never played in Europe before and to go straight into a team that was having fortunes spent on it by a new owner to really challenge to get back into the top 4 was always going to be hard for Bruno, we should have seen that in the summer and made his loan offer from Deportivo final.
