I think it's definitely a case of needing Bruno, Joelinton, +1, but both Bruno and Joelinton are quite versatile in the way they play. Bruno can break things up, carry the ball, play key passes, and be a goal threat, as can Joelinton minus the goal threat. Is it not possible that we might look for another player in a similar vain, where we have 3 midfielders who can all do a bit of everything? Similar to Liverpool. I’d definitely prefer that as I wouldn’t want to lose Bruno’s goals by having him dropping back to be the anchor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The perfect solution would be Ruben Neves tbh - deep lying playmaker that can do the dirty work but also chip in going forward and score some worldies on top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1988 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Would love us to get Neves, can't see it happening though as if he moves it'll surely be for European football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our player of the season and new Brazilian star are hardly racehorses and they're tearing shit up. As long as we've got pace at fullback and in the forward positions I think it would work a treat. We wont get him mind, i was just highlighting the mould of player i think we should be after Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Howe commenting with a smile on one of them ‘I don’t even know what he’s doing there’ (so high up the pitch). Yep, when Bruno plays at the base of a three he’s still ended up scoring a few goals. He doesn’t really sit as an anchor at all. He doesn’t need to because our CBs tend to play very aggressively and step into midfield to follow players and make challenges/interceptions. I would like Phillips so that Bruno can play higher, but if not I’m also very comfortable with Bruno at the base and having two forward runners in front of him.

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If we want to pick up more points against the top 6 next season then one of the things we need is a strong DM who is comfortable on the ball, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Joelinton's physicality is massive for us. I'd love us to sign a physical player that can really play. Those are £50m+ though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the next stage we need more Bruno quality signings. A similar window might have us looking at a more comfortable and sustained 8-10th place challenge but think the owners will be looking upwards.
