Bruno Guimarães

[RS]

He would be much more effective in a triple pivot with a false 10 in the side. This would allow a shadow 6 leading to a hexagonal defensive midfield formation

[The Prophet]

A "double pivot" is far more precise than "a pair of midfielders who usually sit behind more attacking midfielders, with one a more traditional defensive midfield and the other more of a water carrier".

Was just saying this to my mate at the pub before.

As long as all 3 mids have good torso deception we good.

I watched about 15mins in the first half, seemed like a double then.

Bruno may be playing higher up though- Casimero giving him that license.

Botman and Isak er the only ones I wouldn't sell for any price. Getting 100m for Bruno would mean we could bring in a DM and an AM to offer us a better balanced midfield.

 

Not that I think it's going to happen anytime soon.

£100m is not going to get you two top level midfielders these days. As mental as that sounds typing it out. 
 

Would we not be better off keeping arguably our best and most sought after player and building the team and midfield around him? 
 

 

[madras]

I say sell him for 100mill......... then immediately buy him back for 100mill. Yeah its an obvious FFP dodge but so is loan with obligation.

 

 

 

Not being serious btw.

If we sell bruno to strengthen our rivals it would be a big surprise!

Can't think of a worse thing to do seeing how inflated the transfer market is.

If it was a world record breaker i.e. 160M, then allowed us to spend 300M via FFP, then maybe it would be a goer...

Shows Bruno wants out if his advisors have inserted a 100mil release clause in his contract.

Yeah because his contract is out there for us all to read! Shows it’s all just tittle tattle.

Release clause doesn't bother me one bit, provided that it's above 120m.

Same, surely it only protects the club. He either sells for the price we've set or he doesn't and we get his best years?

I’m ok with this.  He’ll need to perform to be worth £100m+.  Not the end of the world if true - at this moment no-one is likely to bid that sort of number for him.

Are people actually serious with this dropping Bruno stuff? Like actually serious serious? Or has he just became the new boo boy?

It's fucking mental man. Do all teams have their own boo boy? Can we get ASM back if only to leave Bruno alone?

[Wilson]

We were spoiled last season, exceptional performances all round (some massively over performing) and unfortunately it seems sections of our support expect that to be the norm now. 

 

'we don't demand a team that wins... we demand a club that tries' 

 

Some people would do well to keep that quote in mind through our current evolution.  They'll have peaks and troughs as a team and as individuals, some of the comments I've seen about Bruno (not just on here) are fuckin ridiculous to put it lightly.

Only if it allows us to move Schar into midfield.

If a term wasn’t popular in 97, NO will ridicule it. 

[The College Dropout]

Lots of pages on Bruno G and I can’t tell what the discussion point is. Are there rumours of a release clause?

The jist of the chat was would you sell him if a bid of £100 million plus came in.

If we had quality replacements in before we sold him - maybe aye.

 

But to Saudi or another foreign club. Not a PL rival. And in 2025 at the earliest for whatever the big fees are of that time.

[wyn davies]

PSG may have offered £150m for him if it comes around in January again, then we have to seriously consider it to help us out in that window, everyone has a price.
