JNK Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Out of Brazil squad for the next friendly. João Gomes from Wolves took his spot. They've given chances to a lot of youngsters and some good players from the Brazilian League, including Mycael (third choice keeper in his club 19 y/o), Andrey and Vitor Roque to name a few u20 wonderkids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d hope the guy would at least take his job seriously. Leaving Bruno, Martinelli and Raphinha out on current form is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has quite a few goals and assists in the last month. Definitely deserves to be in there with the two other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 After the foul on Rashford for the opener last week, he dived in again this week and gave up a direct free kick in a very dangerous shooting position. That's after diving in and getting himself a straight red and ban in the previous game, the far more nervy than it should have been semi final. Bruno's a fantastic footballer we are lucky to have, our best player, but the above is not the behaviour of an elite "6". Since he's also about the only player we have exceeding his expected goals and are missing chances galore from midfield, the case for playing him at 8 just grows stronger. This is definitely something that our recruitment in the summer will have to consider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got no doubt that one of our prime targets this summer will be a defensive midfielder, to allow Bruno to play more advanced. Ive had enough of Longstaff like. Good lad and gives his all but he’s too slow and not good enough to rely on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ve got to be realistic that if one of the massive teams come for Bruno we’ll lose him but I can’t see many out there being able to afford him.

LionOfGosforth Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I mean if Grealish was worth 100m to them, an actual footballer and leader with a brain and vision as big as Bruno would be worth...more than they'd be willing to spend i'd imagine/hope. But yeah, we're going to have to start putting up with this shit on a regular basis now unfortunately. Bruno publicly mentioning private chats with rival managers, you'd have to ask him why he would do that, seems like a poor choice on his part, regardless of whether it happens all the time with players.

IMO. Well aye I mean he could but I don't think he'll be going anywhere just yet. Think people are getting carried away in some of the other threads saying all our best players may ask to leave in the summer. They signed for a team that was either in or had just been in a relegation fight. 6 months later we've had a cup final and are 5th in the league. I think that's enough sign of progress.

LionOfGosforth Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 The next couple of seasons are going to be key and massive if we're going to keep players like Bruno and continue to grow with them. Goes without saying we have to improve year on year and if we do, players like Bruno will hopefully stay to enjoy the success they started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Players leaving doesn’t worry me one iota. This is a very different club to Ashley’s - I’d be confident that any player leaving would do so because it is also in the club’s interest; this would be akin to those divvies questioning Keegan on the Cole sale. The vast, vast majority of players leave clubs at some point - I’m not so sure that the assumption that players signed at present will definitely be here in 3-4 years time holds. If Bruno stays, great, if he goes - he’ll be replaced. I can’t see the club selling for less than £80-90m, and I’m not convinced anyone is paying that for him at the moment. I also don’t think the lad is looking to leave at the moment. Next season is likely to be a big one - if we don’t kick on, I can see some of the first batch of players looking to move on.
