Bruno Guimarães

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.

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? :lol:

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.

I never liked that mantra, and it doesn’t speak for all of us.

 

Mainly because it is utter bollocks - a team of triers losing every week would not be a popular one on Tyneside.

Except its not a "team of triers" it's a "club that tries". Slight difference.

Speaking for myself, I'm more interested in what's going on behind the scenes. Building a foundation with top class operators will see us successful in the long term, long after the likes of Bruno and Trippier have gone.

 

Eales said himself, the correlation between wages and success is there for us all to see. The plan is to build the club commercially so we can get to that promise land. Once we've done that.... trophies will follow.

 

Most of our current players are merely a bridge between the past and the future.

True, but that depends on what the club is ‘trying’ to do.

 

I’d suggest that the implication is that the club would be trying to win things, while not demanding that it does.  Either way, it is meaningless in the context of the performance of the players.

Yeah, this is basically where I am.

It really isn't utter bollocks but if that's your view, so be it.  Each to their own. :thup:

It was never about the players really. That slogan first emerged in deepest darkest Pardew when the club was making it abundantly clear that it had no interest in competing; all the while to a backdrop of media coverage which labelled anti-Pardew angst as ungrateful Newcastle fans expecting the earth.

Which ironically, judging by some people

on here and on social media (yes, yes. I know, I know). Plenty of fans fit the bill here. 
 

A few sub-par performances, some players a bit out of form and some reverting back to their base level and they’re all worse than shite. 
 

People have quickly forgotten the dark days and want it all straight away, it seems.

This is what I was getting at when I said 'some people would do well to remember the quote'

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.

Would have felt a real sense of loss (ala Andy Cole levels, if not more) but we might have had Szoboszlai (forever “It’s-a-boss-lie,” said in Scouse accent in my head) plus one or two more first teamers if it had happened ?‍♂️
