Same guy who claimed ASM had holidays back to France every couple of months written into his contract that the club would claim were 'injuries' :lol:


And that the shirt/sleeve sponsors were Saudia, Aramco, or Saudi Golf.

I know Bruno's English is very good, but I'm sure the use of "doubt" is just lost in translation. The man loves this place. 

So he says 

 

if he really loved the club he would sign the new contract offered to him (no doubt he is enjoying it here , but he loves money / trophies more)

 

he’s obviously holding out for more 

 

Eddie Howes body language and words ….we hope we can find a solution 

 

Makes me think Bruno / his agent not happy with latest contract offer 

 

He will be off in a few years if Real Madrid come on for him 

 

He was outstanding the first twelve months 

 

dropped off after his injury and was dallying on the ball a lot 

 

 

Hope he turns it back on again as probably my favourite alongside Isak.

 

I am sure a resolution will be found but if we don’t win things his head will turn , which is understandable to be fair as he has huge ambitions 

 

Hope we can buy more players in the future on his wavelength and win a trophy or two.

Maybe a bit out of context, but if a partner wasn't giving you back what you're worth, would you commit further? Even if you did love them?

 

Can't blame Bruno or his agent for wanting their worth. He was playing through injury most of last season.

 

At some point, we're gonna have to pay higher wages. We're in a transitional period as a club where we're growing, with a lot of players playing out of their skins with mid-level wages. A lot of these would deservedly want wage rises if Bruno had one. With this and FFP I'm sure this is where the problem lies, or else Bruno would of been tied down for another 5 years long ago.

I teach English as a foreign language and Brazilians will usually say "I have a doubt" in situations where a native speaker would use "I'm not sure", even if they are pretty high level students.

Seems pretty damn settled on Tyneside to me, with all his family here and the love he (and his dad) gets from the fans. Not worried in the slightest about any of this.

He can love the city and the club and still demand a fair pay for his services, it's his job.

 

We are underpaying many of our core players, hope we can manage it well without any unnecessary drama in the following years. Glad Howe appears to be really good at stuff like this but it's almost inevitable that at some point we will have problems related to the wage structure.

Nothing to see nor to worry about here.

 

If he leaves it won’t be this summer.  I don’t think his performances in the second half of the season were particularly fantastic in all honesty - he’d be on a much stronger footing to demand a massive hike if they had been.

 

Players come and go - the best thing about having an ownership which is competent is that I’m far less worried about players leaving than I would be under Ashley.  Ashley saw only profit; this board will sell players if it’s the best thing for the club.

 

I’m aware that people are tying themselves to the notion that the top quality players we sign these days will be here long term.  I’m not convinced this is the correct assumption - there is likely to be a full recycle over the next half decade as huge profits from transfer will just build the club further.  Every achievement at the moment is like a bonus - it’ll be another few years before the commercials have us competing with the big boys.  We’ll get there, though.

He’s not good enough for Real Madrid. More chance us outgrowing him than him us. Nothing to see here.


:lol: Based on last seasons performance?

Yep. Keep repeating myself. He’s very good and I love him as a player and a person but Real have already upgraded their midfield beyond him and will continue to in the future. He’s not athletic enough.

Had to agree to this , he's great for us, as much as i love him, it's pretty hard to see him starting ahead of Bellingham, Tchouameni & Camavinga
