This is the grim reality of how social media is managed in football. Algorithms. Fan sentiment graphs.

You know wrestling isn’t real lads? I don’t care about it though. You do.

He needs proper physical and technical help in there. He's got all of the tools as an individual but sharing that area of the park with someone like Longstaff is hindering him. He needs a big, mobile, technically good nasty bastard who he can dovetail with. Options making runs in the final third wouldn't go amiss either tbh. The better we get as a team the more he'll flourish

he need an offensive one too - he’s had that at Lyon (Paqueta, Aouar).

Somebody watches that shite? I loved it from 1967 to 1979 to be fair.

He absolutely won't put up with what we are now for long. We either be ruthless with the rest of the squad or we lose him. 

I don't see much problem going forward. I think as long as we continue to compete, and improve, he'll be happy here. He wants to win, for sure, but he's so much more than just a winner. e's the kind that doesn't just believe he deserves to win, but the kind that sees the opportunity to win, and does what is necessary.

Aye but he won’t do that consistently. We need another 4 of his quality to push top 8, 6-7 to push top 6, 8+ to worry the top 4.

[The College Dropout]

This good form has blinded people. A lot of it is down to good will, impetus, momentum etc.

 

If we dont't get European football in the next couple of seasons, I would expect Bruno to want to move on if he's the real deal.

[Ikon]

Bruno’s the real deal definitely. Whether he will show it with us or another club is another question. 
 

We have some very good players but I also feel like a lot of them are overrated because of our form and momentum as said. Thinking that this team is capable of sustaining this years form next season is naive and delusional tbh. Get proper quality in over quantity and things might be very good next season. Step by step and all that. Bruno for sure didn’t join for us to be aiming for something like top 10 or similar. Time will tell about our ambitions.

Nah 4 top quality players of his standard and we would finish above Arsenal I think.

If that were the case I wouldn't blame him. I don't really take much notice of Eddie Howe downplaying our ambitions next season, that's just smart management, I'm pretty sure behind closed doors the owners and management will have far bigger ambitions, and I expect to see this reflected in our pursuit of much higher quality players in the summer. It won't be easy at this stage though, obviously we will be going up against bigger clubs and we might not always win the battle for signatures.

I disagree. Look at West Ham. Relegation survival to European football season after under Moyes. Look at Leicester, almost relegated, then win the league next season. Our form in 2022 isnt luck or temporary form - we've chaned. We've evolved. We are harder to beat, and we have options to hurt teams. It's the sum of Howe having a few months prior to get his methods in and some astute signings defensively and in midfield from January.

 

I think we already have quite a few solid first team players for a top 6 side and probably a few rotational ones. 4 big more signings like Bruno in quality positions (CB, CM, RW and ST) and we have a side that can challenge top 6 next year, especially if positions with not so good cover keeps injury free. If we are able to sell/release some crap and re-use that money to pad out the squad with even better youth or rotational quality then great, if we get injuries we can cope better. 

 

Think you're very much under selling how well we've done and what we have achieved this year under Howe.

 

 

 

Moyes has a history of building really solid teams that compete 4-7 through organisation and team work rather than talent (Howe doesn't). He's also got the best out of his players (Antonio, Dawson), added real quality for good fees (Soucek, Zouma) & developed English players that could play the top level (Bowen, Rice). Howe's already getting the best out of these lads. This is their ceiling. Jonjo Shelvey can play no better and give no more than he has. None of them can sustain it for 38 games, i'm certain.

 

Leicester played a 20+ goal a season striker on the wing and had a legendary PL winger on the bench the previous season. They then added a world class legendary CM to the team. Unless Almiron's a secret ST, I don't think we'll be able to replicate that. Only a handful of their players proved themselves to be genuine top 6 quality too.

 

Who in our team would be comfortable in a top 6 side?

 

TBF if any team has 4 v. succesful signings they'll climb the league considerably. But I think it's harder when you need genuine quality. I think Howe wants to play progressive football. We'll need an athletic team, with real quality and the right attitude. That will cost a lot of money for that to work imo.

[The College Dropout]

Wilson can't feature regularly for any side, let alone a top 6 one.

 

Joelinton doesn't get into any top 6 teams. Be serious.

 

ASM - won't open that can of worms.

 

Schar - how many top 6 defenders can't run and can't win headers?

 

Bruno's a good player - jury's out regarding top 6. 

[Vinny Green Balls]

It's TCD, so what do you expect?

[huss9]

Havent managed to beat a top 5 team yet so recent form has been misleading.

think top 8 could be where we are currently.

1 7alk shite. Soz.

[nemtizz]

When he won the ball and then consequently the free kick on the edge of our box it was obvious we were winning that.

 

What a player.

My favourite ever player. Completely in love with him

[The Butcher]

Only KDB is better than him in this league. A complete and utter sensation this lad.

[Fantail Breeze]

Not seen a Brazilian as tidy as this since I went to Magaluf.

Lol you guys are back at it again 

[gbandit]

Doesn’t matter what’s going on, he always makes the right decision. The way he shields the ball is incredible. It’s an absolute fucking joke that we signed him when we were odds on for relegation
