I’m now kinda glad he’s slow as f**k because he if he had any fast twitch fibres at all he’d have definitely pulled them by now the way charges about. Interesting point, because despite his work-rate and the number of games he plays, he's been remarkably free of injuries this last two years. We've been very lucky, because so much of our good play goes through him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 4 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: I can’t ever picture a ‘6’ being anything but a left-sided centre half, given that it was the old left-half number when the numbering first came in in the late ‘30s. Not sure when everyone decided on describing positions as numbers, but it doesn’t make a lick of sense to do so - football formations and positions aren’t rigid, so describing a position by a number isn’t a great idea. Unless it's a 9 I have no idea what people are talking about. A number 10 has always been the second striker to me, like a Teddy Sheringham or a Dennis Bergkamp, but no-one plays 4-4-2 anymore. What formation are all these numbers referring to, and how are you meant to know what number plays in each position when half the players are wearing 12+?

Yep - the only two positions where the role hasn’t changed for most formations since the introduction of numbers are 9 and 11 - and no-one uses ‘number 11’ as a synonym for a left winger. Even though full backs were 2 & 3 in a 2-3-5 formation, it wasn’t the same as the full back in a 4-4-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 They couldn’t man mark him after the red and he took the absolute piss. Felt like watching a Year 11 playing against Year 7’s at times. Such was the gulf in class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 He’s a one footed passer but he uses both feet on the dribble and to trap the ball. And uses the outside of his foot well. Like a young Luka Modric. Thats the worst thing about Miggy. He won’t use his right foot to do anything. He’ll awkwardly control the ball with his left to avoid using his right.

The College Dropout Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The one thing about him here is that he’s truly him for us. He’s the man. He plays like the man. Everyone in the team knows he’s the man. And he embraces it. Go somewhere else and he’ll become a cog. Not sure if that suits him. It’s like the opposite of Gini. Gini is a good player but he’s never ‘the man’ type player. Doesn’t want the responsibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some Brazilian journalist on the Totally football show last season who regularly interviews the South American lad in the Prem. She was saying that he was completely taken aback by the level of hero status he has up here and thrives on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm not saying he will be sold or wants to go or anything but i think the idea that a player can't both love playing for a club and also make hard nosed decisions on their career on discussion with their team is a bit of a fan fantasy. It certainly makes it more appealing for him to stay, and easier for us to refuse to sell. It is the nature of the modern game unfortunately that agents are highly motivated to arrange moves for their players as they earn massive financial rewards for doing so (would love for this to change I'm sure little has contributed more to that crazy player price inflation) and players want to play for as high profile a club as they can. I also don't think that means there's any dishonesty in how much bruno seems to enjoy it here tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Barcelona link is the daftest one of all. Club who has to sell various parts of their future earnings just to pay existing wages is suddenly going to find 100m+ for Bruno? Only sides I'm really scared of have always been Man City, PSG, and maybe Real Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) God I'd be so upset seeing him go to City. Would fill their gundogan shaped hole pretty well too...

The Prophet Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 "I'm not going to confirm whether there is or isn't any release clauses in Bruno or any other of our player's contracts," said Ashworth. "They're all private and confidential. "I can say to you about the principles of release clauses and you can have a situation where a player may have a dream country or club that they want to play for and you can make it specific to them, you can make it specific that it can sit outside of your competitors in the Premier League. "Sometimes players view the fact that they're happy to sign a long-term contract but if family situations change they may want to experience something different." Perhaps in reading into it too too much, but that reads to me like he won't be going to another club in England, if and when he does lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
