Bruno Guimarães

Sell him now

[STM]

No wonder he's had low energy.

[Tsunami]

He’s also just moving into a new house. Had quite a bit going on in the back ground.

This forum revealed that weeks ago! No better place for all your NUFC info ?

[Hanshithispantz]

A vasectomy should be part of his new contract.

[gbandit]

And someone needs to forcibly remove his existing kid and the new one when it arrives. Anything less and I think we can all agree, it would be time to hound him out

Eddie already said no going out on the town. Needs to follow it up with no newborns during the season.

Liverpool tried to acquire the services of Bruno Guimarães, one of the sensations of the Premier League last season, in the last days of the market . For the former Lyon player, considered one of the best players in the English championship, the 'Red' team would come to offer a whopping 100 million pounds (more than 116 million euros in exchange) , meeting with a resounding 'no' for part of Newcastle . The 'Magpies' are in a crucial year within the Saudi megaproject, returning to play in the Champions League, after two decades away, and finding themselves in the group of death along with PSG, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.

 

Guimarães' status within the squad will make him one of Howe's cornerstones this year to try to fight for everything. However, the Carioca's name is listed in 'red' within Liverpool's roadmap for the short-medium term . Of course, Bruno will not be cheap at all, having to offer a much higher amount than what was proposed this summer.

Hope it was more than a simple “no”. 
 

Hope it was “fuck off, you bunch of entitled cunts”.

Didn't his first newborn coincide with even better form? If anything we need to make sure he continues with production line-efficiency.

[Dr Jinx]

He doesn't drink so it'll be food that's his downfall.

 

I thought he came back from the summer a bit pudgy.. the club will sort that in coming weeks but his form mainly is down to not finding the balance with Tonali yet. One of them needs to sit.

Definitely not. He peaked in August/September time in 2022. Wee'un and the Palace penalty miss is the point at which the curve went in the opposite direction. Chelsea (h) he wasn't great and then it was the World Cup.

 

Still, I don't think his performances have been bad this calendar year by any means, he just hasn't sparkled as much as he did in his opening spell. I also genuinely think there's a sense that people have got used to/have stopped noticing his general quality; his baseline is still very high.

 

I thought he was excellent against Liverpool for instance until that maddening pass which led to their winner.

[RodneyCisse]

Worrying.

Fair. Don't know why I imagined he had a few barnstormers not long after the first's arrival.

He did score the killer goal at Southampton shortly after tbf.

They should both sit and allow our full backs to go further up 

 

Just needs a bit of a tactical switch around - both have the potential to be incredible together 

[TBG]

Can see why Howe wanted McTominay so much.

[The Prophet]

With Bruno having a second child and needing to be sold more than ever, Tonali being deeply unhappy and Howe failing to bring Miley in for Joelinton, we're in full blown crisis mode. The second manager can't be parachuted in to help Howe soon enough.

Yeah, the amount of quality there is there, surely it's just a case of finding the right tactical blend and then we'll be away.

 

I thought the three of them were going to be unbeatable after Villa.  Easy to forget that was only three games ago; the way they helped each other out defensively and worked together in an attacking sense was majestic.

Tonali is McTominay - just an all round better and complete player - just being used incorrectly at the moment  by Howe

With what we have the easy solution is a double pivot - Trippier needs to go further forward as does Hall (eventually) meaning Tonali sits a bit more to the left - making it a 3 at the back when defending and when in possession - Having Burn at LB means we can’t fully utilise the double pivot as he barely gets forward - even Trippier goes forward less

Is it the Liverpool game that you've erased from your memory?

Would maybe argue that his best performance last season could have been Leicester away after the restart, tbh. He was fantastic.

[Charlies]

Liverpool bid 100m for him according to AS

[TBG]

Would've paid for Tonali AND McTominay that 

[Mattoon]

Love the guy and he's clearly one of, if not our best player but the back end of last season and the beginning of this one he just hasn't got going. There's been a few moments where he's looked his old self but there's far too many mistakes popping into his game.

 

Now, it's not all down to him as sometimes the positioning of other players doesn't allow him an outball forcing him to turn over the play. I just hope he gets back to fitness again soon and starts showing the form he is capable of, he's still the same player that dragged us up by our boot straps and guided us to comfortable safety and the following season dragged us to the top end of the table.
