Chris_R Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I don't it's anywhere near to a £100m release clause if we've just rejected £100m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Edwards does say "in excess of 100mill" like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Guessing his uncertain future is why he's off the pace, too busy looking at moves to Liverpool and then settling with a bigger contract here. Not arse if he plays his way into a £100m+ move, right now though, you'd be daft to spend that. Looks a shadow of the player we signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Yuuurs, onto making assumptions off the back of baseless speculation.

HaydnNUFC Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Howeh. He was unbelievable from January 2022-January 2023. Since the injury he picked up against Fulham (H) he's been not as good. Have full faith he'll reach those heights again, you don't lose that over night.

The Prophet Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Bruno at his very best is an absolute joy to watch. Unfortunately his best had been sporadic of late. Even when he's not at his peak though, he's still very good and absolutely key to everything we do. He's the only player who regularly drops into pockets of space to give the defence a passing option. He'll then drive us up the pitch. It isn't a coincidence we struggle when he isn't playing. Opposition coaches have clocked this and regularly have a plan to man-mark him or cut off his passing lanes. There have been times this season when he's turned with the ball and had absolutely nothing on, so he'll get caught on the ball or have a risky pass intercepted. Even then, he's still our most comfortable player on the ball and rarely puts a foot wrong. So while Bruno's level may have dropped from "incredible" to "good". The online scapegoating of him is very strange. Against City and Liverpool he was one of the only players trying to move us up the pitch. He made a poor error attempting a risky pass in the latter, but up until then he'd been decent. Similarly the whole team were pretty awful v Brighton, even then there were far worse players on the pitch. Yet every game he's been singled out. Groans when he misplaces a pass, suggestions he should be dropped and his importance has clearly diminished in the eyes of some fans. The criticism is completely disproportionate to his actual performance levels. Edited September 8, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I agree with you Prophet but I think people have a go at him because he is like our kdb a difference maker someone that can make something happen. And when he's just good he cannot influence the game so fans get on his back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the worst on the pitch by far but he's our engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 He's been getting closed down far quicker already this season and towards the end of last season than when he first came here. Same happened with ASM. It seemed since Villa away he's just hounded out as soon as he gets the ball, he still finds space and plays delicious passes because he's fucking mint. We just need that balance between him and Tonali when one isn't allowed the space, the other has to roam a little more. Really hope he gets a goal in the next few games.

I agree with you, but i dont think tonali and bruno misfield has the balance, they are both top players , but they are not quick, bruno is a bit careless in dangerous areas tbh, they both should play further up the pitch imp, we need wilock there.

I would tbh and I really love him. 100m means we can spend like 400m (ffp wise because of book value spreading across contract length).

Dokko Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 We've had a load of players which started on fire then never recaptured their early form. You got to know when to sell players, its a difficult balancing act which we've often got wrong. Not saying we should have sold him, but the window just gone I reckon will have been his peak value, unless something really drastic happens with his form. I really do hope it was his contract situation which has been the downturn in form as signing a new deal should sort all that out and we get him back on it, even if that means seeing further temptation down the line.

The Prophet Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 We're also forgetting he played a decent portion of the second half of last season with a persistent ankle issue. He still put in some belting performances during that time too. I guess it doesn't fit the narrative anymore. Funny though isn't it? It's only taken three poor results and you already have a minority chatting about Howe being the right man for the job and selling Bruno for the right price.
