It’s not a defensive midfield position. We don’t need a player to sit amongst the cb’s, there is no point to that role at all when you can have a player like Bruno who can cover the ground. Put him in there all day long for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) I think Howe agrees TBH, given he was happy to play Bruno there late last season. Also with CBs like Schar and Botman passing it forward, the CMs don’t need to come so deep to get it. IIRC we haven’t been linked to any pure DMs yet.

NE27 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Just dropped in to say this beaut joined us in a relegation battle and had the confidence to try turn us around. Always has a smile on his face too, he's exactly the kind of player I want to lay my hard earned down to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Lyon he was very much a player who'd sit in front of the centre backs and progress the ball up the field. We're effectively giving him much more licence to roam playing as a number eight. His ability to break the lines with his passing range is far too good to be limited to a water carrier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t need a water carrier when we have three in the middle who can move around the pitch. Bruno can do that role and more, so we don’t need to limit ourselves with someone to just sit.

snakzz Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Classy Bruno lifting expectations on and off the field at Newcastle Brazilian shows skill and personality in 1860 Munich clash - now club need to match his ambitions By Craig Hope in Saalfelden, Austria JULY 16, 2022 WHEN Newcastle United signed Bruno Guimaraes in January, it accelerated the journey they are on, changing mindsets inside and outside of the club. That a Brazil international would choose to join a team in the bottom three of the Premier League sent a message to other would-be targets. Whatever vision the owners had sold him, Bruno was buying it. Senior sources admit it was a transformative step in how their on-the-field project was perceived within the game. Sven Botman, for example, had played against Bruno in France and is said to have taken note of his willingness to join the Magpies. The Dutch defender last month turned down a move to Italian champions AC Milan in favour of St James’ Park. Three and easy: Bruno scores Newcastle's third against 1860 Munich But for all that Bruno symbolises with regards the redirection of Newcastle, there was a reminder here in Austria on Friday that he really can play. In just 30 minutes following his introduction on the hour, the midfielder turned what had been an arduous friendly against 1860 Munich into a personal showreel of joyful elegance. Given he has spent much of the past few weeks on his knees – he proposed to his girlfriend on holiday in Greece and has subsequently been floored by Eddie Howe’s running drills – it was a mightily impressive cameo. He had already created one goal for Sean Longstaff when he then nutmegged his minder and swapped passes with Chris Wood before completing a 3-0 win with a tidy finish from eight yards. There were other moments of class, too – a scooped pass between two opponents, another around a corner to spring an attack and a succession of forward balls designed to get a previously laboured team motoring. On target: Bruno Guimaraes celebrates with Joelinton The challenge for Howe – and the owners who promised the Brazilian much in January – is to build a side around Bruno capable of going with him. For while his addition has quickened the growth of the team and club, it has also heightened the need for European football. At 24, Bruno will not tolerate too many years watching the Champions League instead of playing in it. He emerged after the game on Friday to hold court with reporters at the foot of the Leogang Mountains in Saalfelden. That he felt confident to do so just a few months into English lessons is as impressive as scaling one of the peaks which broke the clouds behind us. His ambitions are just as lofty. ‘We know there is difficulty but we want to arrive [in the Premier League] as high as possible, and I think we can do it,’ he said. ‘We can surprise the others [top six teams]. We have quality and the coach is so intelligent, so we can do it. But this is only the beginning. We need to improve more. Fan favourite: Bruno speaks to supporters at Saalfelden Arena ‘We dream of the Champions League but it’s step by step. We don’t need to put pressure on ourselves. We know the “big six’” have good teams too. The Premier League is the most difficult championship in the world so we need to be calm, and step by step we can arrive there.’ Bruno talks of removing pressure but every time he plays, he unwittingly increases such expectation. His presence has set a pace that Newcastle and their owners must now maintain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 We have the chance to add a player that is at least as good as him. Hopefully we go for Paqueta even if it means going for a less proven RW. If we can’t find the right one. Should not miss out on the opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise the owners you are wanting to push and make do things already, were the ones that signed all of the players you mentioned after convincing them to join merely six months ago. Some of you lot really need to calm down. And by the way ... what promises exactly are you holding them to task over? They've maintained from the start this will be a step by step process, which I'm sure the players they signed are aware of too. Can already see the entitlement creeping in among some fans man.

Stottie Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Great to see him click straight back in on Friday. He's total quality. It's a great problem to have, but he is showing so much in the attacking third that it's giving us a conundrum about his best role. They is way more to his game than what the stats said when we bought him. They said neat and tidy recycler, ball winner, and progressive passer, and he was good value for one of them when we paid the money. It sounds like Nickson had to convince Howe to buy him. However, we've ended up with a box-to-box monster capable of dominating games and scoring winning goals. He's blooming into another player, like Yaya did when he joined Man City. Yaya for Barca, six goals in 118 games, for Man City, 79 (!!) in 318 games. One in four is Steven Gerrard output from a former DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
