Bruno Guimarães

[Gallowgate Toon]

He's played a lot of full-throttle football over the last couple of years to a very high standard. Personally, I'm sure he stays, but we need to make sure we have enough in the squad to continue to bring out the best in him but, most importantly, protect his fitness.

That photo absolutely goes off. 
 

Legendary.

If he was staying he would have played the rest of the game wearing that hat, and then said it was a mark of respect to NUFC Legend Lee Clark.

Was it Joelinton who put it on his head? I'm choosing to take that as a good sign...

The thread should be locked until the transfer window has opened and closed. Not sure my nerves can take it. ☹️

There’ll be no outgoings for you to worry about other than are Ritchie & Dummett staying!

????Not athletic enough ?

Not sure anyone has ever questioned his athleticism, only his speed?

 

Personally I've always thought he's plenty fast enough, but the impression I get from others' comments is that there's a perception he's not quick enough. Not that he doesn't have a good engine.

“Context: Pundit Danny Murphy’s comments earlier in the season on Bruno Guimarães: "That (not being a good athlete) is what will stop him from being one of the best because everything else in his game is superb. He is a great passer, technically gifted, but he’s not a great athlete. He needs real athletes around him to shine.”

What Danny Murphy said was bang on the money still.

He is a good athlete (may not be the quickest)

I’ll say it once more for good measure, he doesn’t want to leave. Getting into Europe is the “measure” by which the club believe will determine whether they need to sell a big player. Bruno is aware of this.

 

It’s still up in the air, he’s not bought a house and he hasn’t extended his rental in Darras. Yet.

He has quick first few steps proved by his ability to go past players but his pace on +10-15 meter sprints is one of the worst in the league. Doesn't really matter though unless he's trying to sprint back to defend a counter-attack.

The only thing stopping him from being world class are his terrible knee slides.

Yea sorry my bad. I didn't read it properly. It was directed more at the previous posts.

Can't imagine everything wanting to a video another team celebrating scoring against your own side. Brentford lot really are a weird bunch.

I love that he's so phenomenally shit at knee slides and still insists on doing them. I just find it so endearing.

[St. Maximin]

Bit of an ignorant question, but what does being a good athlete mean as a footballer? It’s not the same as pace, fitness or strength, but some combination of them?
