Lacked real pace and flair and genuine top level technical ability, but could do everything 8/10 mostly. Never really noticed any lack of pace from Lee, always just struck me as a very measured footballer. None of the flash stuff or vision you will get from Bruno, but he had a striker's goal instinct which was worth it's weight in gold by itself. If I was going to compare him to anyone it would probably be Lampard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So underrated was Lee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Lee is still our best value signing of the last 35 years imo. He was the best all-round midfielder in England for about 18 months. Edited April 21, 2022 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 So much to be said, and a lot has already been said, and this too probably. But I really love how both willing as well as good he is at finding space and offer his team mates an option to pass to. It’s so clear and obvious how good his awareness and off the ball movement is. He does it so well so that he often gets more time on the ball. When he doesn’t get time on it he’s brutally calm and composed and gets away with the ball in possession time after time. Such good technical ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly on another level. Cabaye was a good player for us but he was not very mobile and couldn't take players on - which is a big weakness for a modern central midfielder.

I always thought he gave away a lot of fouls because he was late in the challenge due to the relative lack of pace, but he was willing to put his foot in to begin with so that was a big plus. Not to mention he was a superb player when he was on the ball. Not a dribbler, but always spotted the early pass, and had a great right foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Apparently, European giants Real Madrid set to launch summer bid for Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes. According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid want to sign Bruno Guimaraes as part of their summer rebuild following the 2022 World Cup. The 24-year-old has made a blistering start to life in the Premier League and has already become a fan favourite after just six starting appearances. With several of Real Madrid’s key players entering their late 30s, Spanish newspaper AS report that they are looking to reinvest in the future and build a team that can last for another decade. He may well have impressed the La Liga giants following a stunning start to life on Tyneside, but Bruno seems like the very last player who could leave the club this summer. Not only did he joined in January, the Brazilian international is clearly loving life on Tyneside and recently admitted that he hopes to become a legend at Newcastle and play hundreds of games for the club. With us now backed by extremely wealthy owners and building towards a bright future, this feels like a non-starter. It’s easy to see why Real Madrid could want him, however he already feels like a player who could grow with the club and be a driving force being this exciting new project at St James’ Park.
