Will make it all the sweeter when we finally rise to the top 100% mate - most of it has. Smattering of fun moments, the odd good side which ultimately fell at the last hurdle or so - but basically not much to write home about. Need some trophies!

Top three / four? Top 5 id say… 6th at worst. Wasn’t given enough time and took over when club was skint and power struggle post KK. 1. KK 2. EH close second and can see him surpassing KK. 3. BR 4.

Barnes23 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 11 hours ago, Beth said: He's off, and I think that's a good thing for both him and us unfortunately. He wants to play in the CL and win things, that's not happening with us in the next 2-3 seasons if we have to rely on the meagre money recouped from the likes of Longstaff and Almiron to fund new signings in the FFP era. The £80-100m fee for him would open a lot of doors for us in the transfer market this summer. And before anyone starts crying that you don't sell your best players, I'm afraid we have no choice with this one if we want to move forward in the short term. We will be a worse side without him. You simply aren't getting a midfielder of that quality in the market right now, with FFP strings loosened or not. And midfield is already the weakest part of the pitch for us. Makes more sense to sell literally anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Agree. Even if we got a midfielder that eventually becomes as good as Bruno or better, Bruno has come in and been top quality from word go, and we can’t afford to take steps back by losing him. Bit different if probably 1-2 more seasons down the project line. Hopefully we make the full use out of him in those seasons to progress before we do eventually sell.

M1tche Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think there's a lot of worrying going on for no reason here tbh, he came in when were was looking like relegation fodder, we've progressed massively since, he and his family love the club/city. It's been a disappointing and underwhelming season in the main, but I can't see anything that would make him push for a move. If he leaves, we've received an ridiculous offer that makes the club accept because they believe it'll help us develop better going forward (which I alsodont see happening, because i dont think anyone has that type of money atm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 He loves it here, and clearly knows what a shit hand we've been dealt this season. Personally think he gives us another season, then if we're still out of Europe or looking well off challenging for top 4-5, he leaves for the sake of his career, which is fair enough.

Wouldn't be so sure about that, he's obviously not taking Rodri's place, and he can't do the role Stones plays either, Silva is levels above him in my opinion as well, so not sure how that would fit for Bruno to play every week?

Makes more sense to sell literally anyone else. Strikers are just so rare though these days that I think Isak has to be the most irreplaceable player we have, Bruno would be very tough to replace, Isak I think is literally impossible, there's nobody even close to his level that would consider signing for us, too few top class Strikers and too many teams looking for one. Bruno's likely our most important player, but not most irreplaceable for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Completely agree that he’ll definitely commit a yellow card foul, probably multiple times, just depends whether the ref gives it, given it’s a friendly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Flawless performance for the parts of the match I saw. Got the better of Gordon in every situation where both of them were involved too, which I'm sure he'll bring up when they return to training, but being super humble and jolly about it.

This is never true. Just like when we signed him for £30 million when we were looking like getting relegated there will be others out there. Tha hard bit is being good enough to identify them.

Bruno's likely our most important player, but not most irreplaceable for me. Again, this just isn't true. It only seems to be the case because we're either not as familiar with potential replacements, or their abilities are being underrated, similar to how Isak was when we signed him, and a bunch of people were claiming he wasn't a goal scorer due to his record the season before in Spain.
