Bruno Guimarães

No one should be sold in the winter window with the exception of players really surplus to requirements.

It is the nature of today's 'game' .. you can just live for the moment which I can appreciate, but you can also look to how we might build and climb to be regularly competing at the top again, which is what drives these discussions. 

 

If PSR didn't exist, not a single person on this forum would want him to leave for any reason.

If we buy and sell like it used to be, there wouldn't be any problems either .

Haven't seen any updated version but I remember back around a year a go, the stats when Bruno didn't play were pretty awful. I think it was almost as bad as if he doesn't play we didn't win a game or something.

 

So you could argue he is our version of Rodri (in terms of importance to results) and it is a dangerous risk to let him go, especially if you can't use that money to boost the rest of the squad in the same window. 

 

That being said, if you were forcing me to choose between one of Bruno or Isak then i would reluctantly have to sell Bruno. I don't think we can go out and find a Isak replacement in the current market.

Misses the first leg of the semi doesn’t he?

[Newcastle Fan]

Top drawer today, just seemed in full flow and enjoying every minute of the game.

[TRon]

He was genuine top quality tonight. Drawing their players in, then hitting the space behind them. That feint and cut back for the goal was worth the ticket price alone.

[Gallowgate Toon]

It's lush having him back in & around the box consistently.

[huss9]

what did he get booked for?

was it a dive.

couldnt really see it clearly from our end.

[GeordieDazzler]

He overran ball trying to get through in the box and caught the player trying to recover it

Nuts. We have a ton of very peripheral figures to be sold, before we have to forced into anything this crazy.

 

[Ronson333]

Anyone else notice he’s got a deep swinging corner from the right side..Didn’t think of him as a corner taker before, but it’s actually quite a lethal delivery.

Does anyone "want" to actually sell him though? Or are some people recognising that these shitty rules puts us in an impossible position with nothing but shitty decisions to be made?

If you don’t realize we have to sell players at their peak value under FFP/PSR and criticise the club/others for this, you also has no rights to complain the club that we are in deep shit under FFP/PSR and unable to further improve the team

Which peripheral players can be sold for good money in a way which would give enough PSR headroom to significantly improve the team / squad?

 

There is a good chance that we lose all our current ‘purples’ in the next 18 months or so.  As long as the money is reinvested (no reason to suppose it wouldn’t be) then it might be something we have to accept.  I haven’t seen anyone actively happy about this.

@Rod I'll let you answer this

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I can’t see any successful strategy that involves selling all your elite players, surely. What would be the point? Just so you can continue to buy lesser players and finish in the same position? 
 

Like I’ve said before, I can’t see the Brighton strategy working for us on its own. That can only work if you’re happy to finish in a mediocre league position. If you have ambitions to be higher than that you need to have elite quality in your team. 
 

This may be wishful thinking, I admit. But I feel there has to be something more than just selling good players to buy potential all the time. I don’t think any top club does that.
