Chicken Dancer Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I struggle to see any scenario where our most important player, who people mocked for talking Champions League when we were 19th when he signed, will be angling to move when we qualify for said competition, miles ahead of schedule. Also has his family (including parents) here with him, a baby that’s not even 1 yet and just about to get married. Also it’s clear him and Joelinton are proper close off the pitch too. I’d be willing to bet my mortgage he signs a new deal this summer. The only way I could see him being relatively pissed off is if he’s asked for a new deal and the club have said no/wait, which we wouldn’t have done because we’re not fucking idiots anymore.

Geordie Ahmed Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I'm not worried even in the slightest about him leaving this summer Don't think he pushes for a move at this stage and we aren't a team that will try to push our best players out to make a few quid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed was how he said after Leicester that "now I just want to heal my body" and talked about how hard it had been to play with an injury week in week out. Then he still had to feature in an unimportant match right after. After the game he tweetet about how hard the season had been physically and mentally for him. Not sure how much he liked being thrown into that last game, but I don't think that should be a massive deal anyways. I think he will stay too.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he left this summer, hopefully to a non-English destination. There is nothing of substance going on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a scenario where Liverpool offers to add £150k a week onto his wages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 The only way he’s sold is if someone offers absolutely ridiculous money. If they did sell him for ridiculous money then we’d invest it massively and would no doubt be significantly stronger because of it. Chill out and enjoy the ride.

STM Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I think what annoys me most in this, is that I get the distinct impression that Barcelona believe clubs should just sell them their players because they are Barcelona... compare that to Real Madrids pursuit of Bellingham, where by all accounts both clubs have a great relationship and respect. It's openly trying to unsettle players, presumably with the purpose of lowering their price tags. If you want Bruno, fine, but go through the process correctly by indicating a willingness to pay top dollar from the outset and more importantly be engaging in a respectful manner to the club. I never thought I'd see the day when Real Madrid were the lesser of the two evils. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if that's all you've done. The player's club couldn't successfully sue because at that point they wouldn't have suffered any financial damages.

Conjo Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Only way he leaves is if it's for a fee that was truly transformational for us, even under current ownership. It would be silly money in the range of transfer records. Nothing to worry about no matter how sad it would be to see him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Looking at it from Bruno’s perspective, he’s clearly highly invested in the club. His family are over here, he signed when things could have gone very differently and he’s now going to be playing in Europe’s top competition against the elite in world football. If the club now invest in putting quality around him and back up the talk of ambition with real investment then I can’t see him wanting to go anywhere. He’s clearly ambitious for success but so are our owners, manager and fans so as it stands it’s a perfect fit for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I don't think he'll leave in the summer and I've always got the impression that the lad likes being here, but I also think the following: 1) 'emotional' ties don't mean a great deal when you're talking about massive pay rises 2) I don't think the club are looking to do massive wage hikes just yet 3) if he did leave, we'd just go out and spend money replacing him. This isn't Ashley's NUFC - I wouldn't lose a second's sleep re a single one of our players being sold. It would say nothing about ambition - and we're going to sell good players along the way.
