I think it’ll take him some time to adjust fully but I see no reason why he can’t be a success off the limited time we’ve seen him and all the reports prior to him joining.

He's a CL level quality player. Some of the passes he picked out v Brentford and in the cameos in the home games were evidence of that. He'll start in the upcoming away games.

 

Suppose he'll never live down when he came back inside in the box in stoppage time yesterday to some. He did that at Lyon a few times, even though its heart in the mouth stuff he'll have been the calmest bloke in the stadium.

What's the gut feeling though? What, specifically, have you seen - even in the slightest - that makes feel he'll fail?

 

I have a gut feeling Jonjo Shelvey could be sent off in any game. It's only happened once this season, but it's at least based on the odd poorly mistimed tackle. Personally, I've not seen owt in what we've seen of Bruno so far to give me a similar feeling of him failing.

Aye but you also said this.

 

 

 

Exactly the reason I blocked him absolutely full of ? and writing off a player after a few cameo appearances , fuck me bet his Twitter is comical

It’s nothing based on what I’ve seen given I've hardly seen much of him at all, again it’s just a silly hunch, and again I hope I’m wrong.

We could still yet go down, not that I NOW think we will mind. To be fair to my good self, this was at a time when we were looking likely to go down…

I'd definitely start him Thurday now things looked maybe a bit stale in midfield on Saturday players might be getting tired as well think now is the time to mix things up.

This. He needs to start a game and Shelvey was pedestrian on saturday, so there is no better time. Would be nice to see willock getting some decent through balls and some more link up between ASM and bruno

Imagine someone trying to explain to you in December we’d have a £40m CL player on the bench to accommodate Jonjo Shelvey.


Bruno isn’t a defensive midfielder, he was never meant to replace Shelvey.

I've seen a fair bit of analysis that suggests he's equally comfortable as a DM or a CM.

 

My guess is that Howe will sign a player of similar quality and play a double pivot, with Bruno and a new guy.

In his last two cameos against Brentford and Brighton we have changed formation, when he came on, to this:

 

           Bruno       Shelvey

 

Joelinton     Willock          Fraser

 

                     Wood

 

It's an insight into how Eddie Howe sees Bruno.
