I would 100% sell for £15m even though he’s a very loyal player who would continue to do his best for us. As a squad player he would have utility but his main asset is being homegrown, that should never be the principal reason for keeping someone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield needs rebuilding - we will get Tonali and Big Joe back but we need another addition to solidify it - Ederson been linked for a while - that’s the profile we need - someone who plays all 3 midfield roles (I have seen him play loads as can vouch for this) - gives us all the tactical felexibility we need, power, pace, passing, pressing - the 4Ps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Prontonise Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Apparently he's been playing through an injury and getting injections but I don't understand that he's been starting still while we have gotten some options back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock has been out most the season, Anderson supposedly was barely ready to do 5-10 mins against Blackburn. So guessing he hasn’t been an option from the start? Miley seems to blowout after a half/55 mins. If he keeps starting after the international break and putting in such nothing performances. Then it would be a real head scratcher.

Turnbull2000 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) He hasn't been great, but £15m in today's market is taking the piss. Add another £5m at least. Edited March 19 by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the chance to sell him once and got greedy, don't make the same mistake again. He's an average PL footballer 15m to 20m seems reasonable. You can replace what he does for a lot cheaper.

Yorkie Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Yeah I'd expect us to squeeze more than £15m out of someone. Like him or not he's played 99% of Premier League games so he's worth more to us than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) If I was someone else, I don't think he's a good buy for £25m or higher. You could probably get one of the Blackburn midfielders that bossed him for that. Prices are always a bit random but I don't think he can form part of a reliable PL midfield unless his colleagues are extremely fit and fast. And even then he will give the ball away because of his lack of technical quality, balance and agility. That said, I'm not against keeping him as a squad player as long as he doesn't start too much and the options around him are better.

We can always keep pricing players out of a move but eventually it will just end up meaning we have to sell our really valuable players instead. We had calls for £20m plus for Tripper, did anyone pay it? He'll be 34 this year so his value is dropping. Miggy can bring in £25m of Saudi cash right? Well if that somehow doesn't happen I guess we can always sell Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had unprecedented depletion in middle but we’ve got post a Longstaff sale: Bruno/Tonali/Willock Joelinton/Miley/Anderson More than enough and only need to go into market if Joelinton is moved on. Probably also a fair argument that if we wanted MGW again in summer because of a deal to be made, he can play CM too (whilst I expect he’d be the RW).

It’s the perfect opportunity to give the next gen competitive minutes. if we went through a conference league campaign playing Bruno for 90 minutes every game Howe would want shooting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
