Didn’t quite come off. Anyway, all very worrying indeed. Fair enough. I'm sure it'll be the normal process of meeting somewhere in the middle. I doubt we've low balled him.

Viana Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 1 hour ago, The Butcher said: Modric? I wouldn’t say his career has been defined by blistering speed, and in his latter years he’s been elite without ever being defined by his athleticism. As long as you can keep up with the pace of the game - which Bruno can - he’s grand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa5773 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Just like I said fortnight ago, the main block to the negotiation is salary. Still no point of convergence as far as I know. The club still optimist though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Since 1882 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 As long as Pep is at City I see no risk at all losing Bruno to Man City. Personally I don't think he's too small and short to play for Guardiola, and not good enough either(..yet....) Man City/Pep/Arteta were after Jorginho same time as Chelsea, but got Rodri - Arteta got Jorginho years later at Arsenal for a reason. End of the day, we are in a Fortress of Solitude - if we are now in a position to say £200 for Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Seems like it takes time to learn to play with Tonali. Both seem to make similar moves. It will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Looked sloppy today, hopefully he'll get sharper and he's had great help from Joelinton and Tonali. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He was alright, someone called him 1 out of 10 which was ludicrous (as he is perfectly capable of a rash red card now and then lol). He will get there, and to be honest his infectious personality probably counts for more than you think on the pitch. His celebrating all the goals...

Kid Icarus Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Thought he was solid tbh, drove forward and great positioning and raking passes. A couple of wayward balls, buy overall very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will be looking to press him this season, as he's been caught a few times hanging onto the ball a fraction too long. By the same token, if they don't get the ball off him then we are just as likely to punish them on the counter like we did today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Below his best but still had some good moments. As Tonali gets more and more time on the ball it’ll help Bruno as teams won’t be able to target both of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I don’t think he’ll ever stand out for us as much as he did in his first 9 months or so. nothing on him but he’s now surrounded by players of a similar standard. can’t wait until everyone is totally on the same wavelength Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He's been below standard for a while in all honestly. I hope with Tonali being here elevates his play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I thought he was pretty fine today but for getting caught on the ball once. He didn't stand out as Tonali did, but was by no means poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Begging for this lad to get back up to scratch at some point. Starting to wonder if pre-Matteo was just a purple patch; we've very seldom seen those incredible levels since that run of brilliant results in Autumn 2022/23. Tonali helped him out big-time against Villa imo but today's trio has unbelievable potential as a unit, if Bruno can sort out the maddening sloppiness. It just didn't exist this time last year.

Lotus Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Bruno will be fine. Less responsibility on him which is good but he’ll get back to his levels. He’s super competitive and he’ll sharpen up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
