Bruno Guimarães

[Tsunami]

It all hinges on FFP and where we finish in the league. We have transfer targets and ball park figures for what we’ll need.

 

Getting into European competition may mean we don’t need to sell, I believe Bruno is very happy here. 
 

It’s in our own hands.

[TBG]

The absolute heartbreak when he pings in the winner in the FA Cup final for City against us and cups his ears towards our fans after we've treat him like subhuman scum aka Ayoze Perez all game.

One of my biggest annoyances around this is the "you won't be able to replace him for 100m". 

 

Which is often said by people who, let's be honest, had probably never heard of Bruno in the first case, who we signed for 40m. It's not easy, by any means but that's why you make sure your scouting team is on the ball. 

 

It's also not 100m, it's a complete reshaping of our financial situation. It doesn't wipe the slate clean but it would be very much "we go again" in terms of a big push forward.

 

Its not my preference. I hope he stays but that's football:

 

Coutinho, Sterling, Ronaldo, Bale, Kane, Van Persie.

 

Sometimes it happens. 100m is not to be sniffed at.

Yep, you move on and evolve. It selling Bruno takes us to the next level then unfortunately it’s something we’d have to accept. 

[The Prophet]

Completely agree it's all on Bruno. 

 

I don't think we want to sell and I think he'd only consider a club who will be competing for silverware.

 

Given the finances involved, City are probably the one to watch, if anyone. Seems Paqueta is high up on their agenda too.

Grealish, and look at Villa now! I don’t want Bruno gone but if he goes it’s with my blessing and he’s stolen a place in our hearts forever ??

[STM]

The answer will always lie with what we do with the money.

 

West Ham sold Rice and with that money signed Kudus, among others, who will probably fetch them similar money as to what they got for Rice.

 

Mind, you don't want to keep doing it, at some point you want to turn it into silverware but if you are smart, it can work in your favour.

Hope we can stretch the money as much as Liverpool claim to have stretched the Coutinho money. They are still spending it now.

Ah but was it though? Backtracking quicker than an Italian tank.

If you're going to try to take the moral high ground and call someone immature you probably shouldn't chuck in some light xenophobia.

NUFC loungewear!  He loves us ??

OK, so I'm not supposed to share this but... Bruno reads this forum. Also there's a secret ITK forum that only certain members havea access to.

Feels like history is being rewritten re: it being briefed for months that the club needs a 'big' sale this summer to give us liquidity and enable the next phase of our project. Suddenly the club doesn't want to sell and any move is all on Bruno.

Has he bought a house recently? Was it confirmed?

Luke Edwards reported it.  Every other article I've read has qualified it with "according to the Daily Telegraph" until today when Louise Taylor is reporting it as fact.

I’m not worried, I’d rather he stayed but the silver lining is that we know way more than his fee would be reinvested in the playing squad.

 

You can’t just replace him like for like though.. impossible.

I'd be shocked if half the squad didn't read the forum.

Some on here when that's suggested act like this is some kind of hidden darkweb site that is almost inaccessible rather than being an incredibly popular fan site that's been going for donkeys years. Couple that with players being young, tech-savvy and with lots of free time, of course they're going to be reading it.

 

Be astonished to find otherwise.

Football fans always talk about players being irreplaceable. It's the strangest thing.

 

Particularly because a lot of times the player in question wasn't even seen that way initially. Bruno cost £30 million and we had no idea he would be this.

 

There's no telling who comes in next and what direction the team goes in.

Maybe it’s more than his injury that’s effecting Longstaff then

It will all depend who comes calling

He won't go cos they struggled in the summer with spending, don't seem able to pay much for Ashford and not a chance in hell they can spend £100m before the end of this season when his release expires. Tgarve was just ignoring that minor detail 

They’re clubs based in Manchester the ffp or any other regs don’t apply to them.
