His home gym videos always make me chuckle. Need @St1peto give him

some form pointers :lol: 

 

I was actually thinking; was he really doing those dumbbell curls right? :lol:

Wouldnt trade him for any other player in the world. Love his passion

It says everything about him that one of my highlights in 30+ years as as a Newcastle fan is him celebrating like he'd just scored a 30 yard screamer after just winning a tackle. Absolutely glorious stuff. Love him.

Rubbished rumours, he'd be off if a CL club comes knocking, he's obviously more patient than some of our impatient fans.

 

I know money talks etc for some footballers,  but I just feel this lad has a genuine desire, and believes he will only leave if he leaves a legacy of sorts behind him. 

 

He seems in love with the place and the club.

True. I think only an elite level team would tempt him away from us.
Besides, it will be easier to justify staying here when there are 5 champions league places available from 24/25. We look like falling short this year, but when there’s one extra place it becomes somewhat easier to keep your best players

Goes without saying that there's probably only one or two clubs that could potentially take him away sooner than he says - but his dad, his partner are happy. He's our main man and knows it. I'm sure the club continues to remind him that they will build this entire project around him if he sticks around.

He’s clearly happy here and will continue to be if we can deliver his CL ambition and even silverware. Even so, if a club like Real come knocking with a serious bid then it’s pretty clear what the outcome will be.. not to say that will happen but it’s potentially the reality at some point. The faster we grow as a club the more likely he stays long term.

My way of looking at every player we have is very simple. If the player wants to be part of what's happening at the club and that player (like Bruno) is deemed quality enough to go on that journey then we simply ensure everything is done (within reason) to keep that player. And I'm sure we will...... but....we do know the bigger clubs (as is) will always turn heads and the north east, no matter how much investment to the infrastructure, is not always a hotbed for loyalty to a cause.

 

If a player expresses a desire to leave (not saying Bruno does) then it's best to allow it and get as big a fee as possible then go in for a player that wants to be part of things as they are in progression.

It'll take time and patience but we will get there if the owners remain in place and are not ousted or sell up.

 

I'd sooner have a Dan Burn than a superstar boat rocking dressing room killer. Again, this is not any dig at Bruno because I think he's committed to the cause and will likely never get an opportunity to be revered as he is at Newcastle and potentially become an absolute legend.

Baldwards reporting that he's on the verge of agreeing a new long term deal.

 

He also mentions that Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid are sniffing. There's also a bit of speculation that he'll eventually want Champions League football, if not with us elsewhere, which is just common sense really.

Football doesn’t work like that. You grab what you can when you can. We may never get back to Wembley. That’s how football works.

Wonder if there is a clause in there linked to a champions league team coming in for him?

I think we’re going to have to go pretty hard in the transfer window this summer to satisfy the likes of Bruno re ambition

???, Aye right 

 

Qualifying for the champions league is exactly what we need for a whole host of reasons 

 

Extra tv money 

ability to sign better players in the summer 

ability to attract better sponsors 

increase world wide appeal 

ability to grow commercial quicker 

ensures people like Bruno stay 

 

This is not to say it’s all doom and gloom if we don’t qualify , but to say it’s too early is madness 

 

Of course we need 5/6 players to compete in Europe but champions league qualification allows us to do that
