his dad will make him stay.

loves a pint in the toon with his mates.

 

Does he really? Obviously I know he loves it here and knocks about a bit but does he genuinely get in the boozers?

You are wrong in every single way, astonishingly enough.

 

This might not be the sport for you to follow, if you don't understand it to this extent.

 

My goodness.

Agree...he'd comfortably improve Arsenal and City.

 

He's dragged down by Longstaff here. With proper quality around him he'd be seen as one of the leagues best, more than he already is

No, what I mean is he’s not good enough technically. Not a good enough passer, - either short or long range - can’t beat a man, can’t take set pieces, can’t shoot with any conviction and has shown an almost complete inability to impose himself upon the midfields of the best teams. Good player, not great, and will be more Nunes than Rodri at City.

 

There were suggestions a few sides in the league had looked at him (& Paqueta) prior to us and decided he was too slow for our league so passed. He has arrived here and that perceived lack of pace hasnt held him back in any way at all. Technically he is as good a midfield player as you could ever see for us, to say he isnt a good enough passer is crazy, his range of passing is up there with the very best, long or short, that pass he has in the locker that he plays inside the full-back is pure filth. He has imposed himself against the vast majority and walks into ANY Premier League side, hence the links with the teams sat in positons one and two and talk of 100m. He’s on another level completely to Nunes as well, if he had Rodri sat next to him adding some protection he would get even better. Bruno can beat a man & surprisingly quite often give his lack of pace, he loves a nutmeg, drop of the shoulder or quick change of direction, his football intelligence is streets ahead of most of those around him. His shooting isnt his strongest attribute but goals have never been a big part of his game and have been a welcome bonus. Not good enough technically is a wild take.

I'd put him in the same league as Declan Rice, meaning he could be an important player to any team. Declan Rice was deemed not good enough offensively but people who didn't follow West Ham closely. With better players around him he is doing great on that part. Most West Ham fans knew about this part of his game all along, he just couldn't show it as often with those teammates and the tactics.

 

I don't think Bruno has been a standout player for Brazil, but he has been picked to play several times. That team is pretty damn stacked. He's not a Rodri, but he's still one of the better midfielders in the league. The consistency and ability to avoid fatigue and/or injuries is also something that the biggest clubs appreciates.

Congrats on winning stinking take of the season

Didn't we used to have a worst post of the season thread? This has to be a contender

[STM]

And for balance:

 

Bruno is possibly even more press resistant than Rodri.

 

His ball retention is outstanding.

 

He inspires those around him.

 

His short range passing is impeccable.

 

His long range passing is outrageous.

 

His shooting... OK, got me there. Still chips in with goals though.

 

When he has taken corners in the past they are no worse than Trippier.

 

Bruno is the reason why football is the most popular sport on the planet. Individual brilliance, who's character seeps onto the football pitch with every touch.

 

Is he as good as Rodri, probably not but Bruno isn't playing for Man City and who cares anyway, we love Bruno he's a beautiful, beautiful, Brazilian bastard.

In what world is Bruno 'not good enough technically' man 

 

 

[Hanshithispantz]

It's also worth noting that most players aren't as good as those at Man City before they go to Man City.

[Ikon]

I once told prime version of Adriana Lima that she wasn’t beautiful. 

[gjohnson]

Is there another team where individual players get as much love and attention we give to Bruno?  

[Kanj]

Such an ass shooter who has 6 league goals this season.

Probably, it’s kind of what football fans do.

Fabulous post. I am someone who was always quite sceptical of CMs who lacked pace, I used to roast Shelvey, Colback and Nicky Butt for that reason, but Bruno has completely won me over in that regard. His technique is so good that being slightly less quick is far less of a factor, especially going forward where he has a surprising burst of pace over the first 5 yards. Defensively he will commit a few fouls when he catches people who beat him for pace, but even that is surprisingly rare, because he's got such quick feet.

i think its when his own mates come over.

there's often instagram posts of him having a pint with them in town and a recent one in the metrocentre having a pint with a couple of his mates..

[Chris_R]

If we need to sell Bruno to make our FFP commitments, I'd rather we just take the 4 point penalty.

 

He's worth well more than that to us.

I think Bruno’s overrated

Have you ever watched him play?

I think he’s great- I just don’t think he’s a 100million player. I don’t think someone would pay that much 

 

sorry for not having the sheep opinion on something that’s subjective

Well neither Caicado, Fernandez or Rice are worth £100M+ IMO either, but that’s the value their previous clubs put on them. And if someone else wants to buy Bruno it’s what they’re going to have to front up
