Agree, can't see PSG being that appealing to him.

 

Imagine being a 26 year old multi millionaire in Paris, though. 

 

Doesn't get much better than that. 

 

Not offering any opinion on stay or go, btw, just as aside.

 

TBH if he went, it'd be pretty depressing for us as it'd show up the PL for even more of a closed shop than we thought it was.

Of course he’s looking to move? What are you on about?

 

He came when we were battling relegation, I’m not sure how fast he expected us to become a major European force. 
 

Wish we could ever enjoy having a good player. 

 

He literally had a clause put in his contract that lowers his release clause for two clubs. 

 

He might have came when we were battling relegation, but every player that comes from France is somewhat unproven. Now he's not. He's proven himself to be one of the best in Europe. 

 

We can enjoy a player but you dont have to delude yourself about footballers and their career ambitions. He'll want to maximise what he achieves in the years left of his career, thats completely normal and its naïve to think otherwise.

 We're 9th and not really all that close to competing at the top. He might well love it here, but achievement in the game trumps that for him you'd imagine. 

 

and he will also be aware (more than most on here) why we are 9th at the moment, and that we are still moving in the right direction to be where he wants us to be.

 

Never understood the "Bruno will leave if we don't get CL"-brigade. He doesn't strike me as a player who will force a move like that unless it's for too good to turn down money, when he can see we are moving in the right direction.

I genuinely don’t think he wants to go, like. He came here when we were 19th and he’s been on a hell of a ride over the past couple of years with us. He loves the club and is loved by the club. If Real Madrid or Barcelona come knocking I can understand yeah, but PSG? Nah.

 

Mind you, if he was genuinely wanting out because we’ve had a rough couple of months then maybe we’d be better off taking the money and reinvesting.

I don't want to lose Bruno, but if we have to, because of FFP or him becoming disillusioned with the speed of the project, I'd want him to go to PSG, Barca or Real Madrid. If that happened I'd hold no ill feeling towards him. He's goes anywhere in the Prem and I'd question our ownership and Bruno would be dead to me.

 

* For the record, Bruno doesn't come across as the sort of player who'd do the dirty on us, but like others have said, if he wanted to go I'd have to ask whether it's worth keeping someone like that.

According to who?

 

No one other than those directly involved know what the clause is, but it's highly rumoured to be a release clause that can only be triggered by two clubs - Barca or Real, who will have to pay a tidy sum for him.

It would be like your lass leaving you for someone with a much bigger penis.

Then there you go. Thats him looking to leave if either Real or Barcelona meet our valuation should the widely reported rumour be true.

 

Its really not that controversial to suggest Bruno will want to leave if one of Europe's elite come in from him. Nobody has suggested he'll down tools or force a move, but players want to achieve all they can in relatively short careers that can end at any time. Its part and parcel of football - no matter how much he likes it here or how well Dick Moura gets on with our fans.

Then go back and watch the interview again. He mentions that we’ll have to trade players, at no point did he mention having to sell one of our better players though. 

 

My thoughts exactly, he was discussing the FFP options, increasing revenues or player trading - it was the mainstream media that sensationalised that one of Bruno, Botman and Isak will be sold - sickening

Which ones are reporting he's unhappy?

It was some very crappy low profile sites. But still a couple were. I assume they just piggy back off each other spouting shit.

 

I refuse to believe he is unhappy. He could however be thinking this season is a poor one with European football looking bleak next season?

There’s no way he’s unhappy. 
 

Of course he would rather be in the CL but surely he knows that we had an impossible group and were robbed by a decision. 
 

People don’t just leave clubs based on the league table and nowt else. 
 

Of course anyone can be sold at any time, I won’t deny that.
