Chris_R Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Not sure anyone has ever questioned his athleticism, only his speed? Personally I've always thought he's plenty fast enough, but the impression I get from others' comments is that there's a perception he's not quick enough. Not that he doesn't have a good engine.

He is a great passer, technically gifted, but he’s not a great athlete. He needs real athletes around him to shine.” Bruno’s response: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I’ll say it once more for good measure, he doesn’t want to leave. Getting into Europe is the “measure” by which the club believe will determine whether they need to sell a big player. Bruno is aware of this. It’s still up in the air, he’s not bought a house and he hasn’t extended his rental in Darras. Yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I've always thought he's plenty fast enough, but the impression I get from others' comments is that there's a perception he's not quick enough. Not that he doesn't have a good engine. He has quick first few steps proved by his ability to go past players but his pace on +10-15 meter sprints is one of the worst in the league. Doesn't really matter though unless he's trying to sprint back to defend a counter-attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that he's so phenomenally shit at knee slides and still insists on doing them. I just find it so endearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Bit of an ignorant question, but what does being a good athlete mean as a footballer? It’s not the same as pace, fitness or strength, but some combination of them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 My favourite NUFC midfielder remains Rob Lee (and that would be hard to shake off, given he played during my formative years ...) - but Bruno G is the most complete midfielder I've ever seen in B&W. Like everyone else I hope he stays, but I wouldn't hold it against him if he wanted to go off to get a chance to win the big pots. He's in his peak years - we've still a bit to go yet.
