Bruno Guimarães

Yeah disagree about 1 more good season out of him. He has zero pace as it is, so it's not like him slowing down due to age would really make a difference. He looks like the sort of player who will keep a similar steady level til mid 30's.

I know what you mean that this summer / next summer will be the last chance to get a big fee from him, but he's got years left performing at a high level for sure 

Years? He’ll be 28 come end of next season and not many Brazilian CMs go into their 30s at a high level. He doesn’t have much pace to lose. Next summer (2026) we’d have to commit to a £200k+ 4/5 year deal that would take him through to like 34, which would be a mistake IMO.

I know he's slow as a snail, but I feel his game doesn't revolve around his athleticism so much, compared to a Joelinton etc

 

Can see him being a bit like Gundogan in style, and going for a while longer. But who knows, he could do a Casemiro or be a Thiago Silva 

 

But I'd agree next summer will be the last time we can command a big fee for him

You don’t sell players like Bruno unless it’s unavoidable. There are plenty of well documented reasons why, all I’d add is he doesn’t rely on pace so will be a top-tier player well into his 30s. 

Yeah. I did it.
