Bit of an ignorant question, but what does being a good athlete mean as a footballer? It’s not the same as pace, fitness or strength, but some combination of them?

My favourite NUFC midfielder remains Rob Lee (and that would be hard to shake off, given he played during my formative years ...) - but Bruno G is the most complete midfielder I've ever seen in B&W.

 

Like everyone else I hope he stays, but I wouldn't hold it against him if he wanted to go off to get a chance to win the big pots.  He's in his peak years - we've still a bit to go yet.

Safe for another season at least me thinks.

Hope so mate

Time will tell, but I honestly think he will give it one more season and see where we are after that. Without the crazy injuries we had we would be UCL no doubt. He knows that. Mad bastard wears his heart on his sleeve. It’s a love affair for him and a reciprocated one with the fans. It’s not just about football (his whole family too) I’m not deluded but I’d be stunned if he wasn’t here for the next season at least. When hopefully we can really kick on. Give him the armband next season, another little tug on his mad bastard heart strings ??

Yeah he really should be vice captain now at least. He plays every game and is everything you want from a captain out on the pitch

I feel both ways. Of course I want him to stay, his the heart of our team. But we would get a shit load of money that we could invest and there are players that could improve us massively. Wasnt the release clause end of June? Just dont drag this on.

I don’t think the end of the release cause brings to an end speculation. I actually think clubs will wait until that’s over and then come in with a price. The question will be whether Bruno turns round and says to the club he’d like to go if a champions league club comes in for him. I don’t think he’ll agitate for a move but I’m not certain he’ll stay either. 
 

I agree on the finances though, if he decides he wants to go then people just need to accept it and we can really rebuild again with the money we’d get.

He's our icon/talisman/beating heart. 

 

Totally different to the Cole sale, which I've seen mentioned, or Carroll. 

This bloke stays, we win things. Quicker.

I'd love for him to be captain, and I'm not exactly sure why he's not mentioned more in terms of leadership (maybe it's voluntary), but I think Burn, Trippier and Lascelles have already been doing a good job there so I'm not in a hurry to rock that boat. Let's see what our preferred first team is next season first.

He already plays a leadership role on the pitch. It might be different if the plans that only captains can consult the ref comes into force and is adhered to.

I think there may have been a question mark over how it might affect his playing style but I think how he played under threat of the ban answered that.

Yes, definitely. Though I meant more in terms of comments from players and such e.g. the leadership council they have with Ritchie, Burn and co.

100%. He's clearly spent his life rising to challenges.

Douglas said there is no chance selling him after the release clause has expired.
