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. I agree , I just don’t think we should get sucked in They are professional footballers and say all the right things He’s my favourite player alongside Isak He’s super ambitious though and I have the feeling his head will be turned if he doesn’t get what he wants in terms of money or trophies (that’s fair enough) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 He also was carrying an ankle injury for most of the second half of the season as well. Hopefully that’s all sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Isn't it pretty much universally accepted his new contract will break our current wage structure and set the benchmark for a new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 The summer should be about negotiating with clubs and incoming players rather than negotiating extensions to players already tied to long term contracts, especially when he has come back to pre season so off the pace.

prefabtoon Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I think the "I have a doubt" was taken out of context especially by the trouble making press. He seems very committed to the club. English is not his first language and the trouble making press. Will seize on this sort of quote. Just relax and enjoy his football hopefully his ankle holds up this season.

Flip Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Anyone suggesting Bruno doesn’t get into that Real side because of the young guys hasn’t seen much of Tchouameni or Camavinga. Both are extremely raw still, and while both have enormous potential, Bruno definitely had a better season. Bruno would walk into that midfield now that Modric and Kroos are getting older. that being said, he shouldn’t be leaving us and neither will he. Hope he has another good season for us.

STM Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Bit annoyed actually, i was hoping he'd come back in pre season firing on all cylinders. I hope his ankle is fixed and I hope in the next 2 weeks he comes up through the gears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I’m annoyed reading the last few pages of this thread at a few of ye. Shitting on Bruno all of a sudden? Short fucking memories is all I have to say. Him and Isak are our best players currently. Irreplaceable. He hasn’t been on fire this pre season but so what.. he looked a little irritated against Brighton and it’s no wonder, having Craig fucking Hopelessness asking him questions about his future and contract before the game. We’re bloody lucky to have him. Remember that and remember we had a midfield of Jack Colback and Vurnon Anita not so long ago. Entitled little shites.

TheBrownBottle Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Also, Craig Hope is a trouble making cunt. I hate local hacks who try to create drama so that they’ve got something to print, then claim that they’re supporters of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’d renewed Bruno’s contract when everyone was crying on here for it to be done before the Cup Final you’d now be paying Tonali a lot more than needed and probably Barnes to a degree. Let the window close then renew his contract first international break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a huge bye from a lot of our fans for the Bruce drama but since then he's written some absolute garbage. Had a mini pop at Isak after the home draw with Bournemouth even though he had 2 goals in 3 games. He then hid Twitter replies criticising the article and said 'it's not my job to help players settle'. Couldn't wait to get the Fraser in the reserves story out there in cup final week when he could've just sat on it to avoid any disturbance to positivity. The article he wrote on Maxi recently and the £50m budget story. Now this stirring on a nothing comment about Bruno's contract. Have always gotten the vibe as well from him that as soon as we hit a bit of a sticky patch he'll be the first one going after Howe.

No-one could argue that Ryan Fraser was going to sell copy, yet doing that could seriously harm our preparations. Moon landing denying wanker.

Yeah he definitely faded the last couple of months of the season, but supposedly he was carrying an ankle injury, he was getting caught on the ball much more than earlier in the season. Never really heard much about the injury since then, but I doubt he'd be playing preseason games if it wasn't recovered. Think he's probably just getting back up to full speed at this point.

PauloGeordio Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 On Guimaraes, Howe said: “I don’t think Bruno wants to leave. I feel we are protected enough. “The most important person in this is Bruno. He sees this season as a huge opportunity for him to play on the best stage that he can and to try and help Newcastle grow. “That is the most important thing, not necessarily if a club comes in, it is where the player feels his home is and I think he feels that his home is Newcastle.” Howe added: “You can never tell what will happen in football, I can’t sit here and say clubs won’t be interested in Bruno – for me, he’s an outstanding player. But I see a player who is very committed to this football club.” Home is where the heart is! I think we know where Bruno’s home is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
