I feel both ways. Of course I want him to stay, his the heart of our team. But we would get a shit load of money that we could invest and there are players that could improve us massively. Wasnt the release clause end of June? Just dont drag this on.

 

If he was more of an emotionless robot type of player or a little less ambitious I think I'd be very into the idea of cashing in on him to fund the type of squad rebuild we need.

 

But his bar raising mentality and desire to win things means we're not just replacing an exceptionally talented midfielder. As you said, he's the heartbeat of the team.

Pretty much priceless. It's like saying how much money would you have swapped Keegan for in 1994.

Agree with this.

 

I also think he is really unique as a player.  He has his limitations, of course.  He must be one of the slowest in the squad, he can be a bit rash with diving in and going gung ho with his press and then easily bypassed and his shooting technique is terrible. 

 

But his passing range, touch, skill, ability to hold onto the ball or win the foul under pressure, energy levels, attitude...  They're all elite.  He doesn't shirk the dirty work, either and is almost as good off the ball as he is on it. 

 

I honestly have no idea who I'd compare him to as a player in regards to his style.  I thought Thiago Alcantara a bit at first.  But he's more of a shithouse, better off the ball and not permanently injured.  He is a one-off and offers so much to the team and the club as a whole.

 

Not a popular or much of a shared opinion on here and I do get that regular goals are such a rare commodity.  But I genuinely think he'd be just as hard to replace as Isak.  What with everything he brings to the team.  The stats and all of the intangibles.

Me too. 

Me three. He may not be blessed with electric pace but his vision, his passing, his struggle the make it as a pro, his infectious personality, his determination make him our leader in so many ways. If we are to finally win something I would like nothing more to see Bruno lifting the trophy.

I'd name him captain next season. 


With Lascelles out until Christmas and Trippier looking far less assured of his place, this would be a great time to change it :thup:

There’s no need to change anything.

 

If none of Lascelles, Trippier or Burn are in a starting lineup, then fair enough, he may be a good shout.

 

But there’s no need to effectively piss on any of the other three by making Bruno first choice captain. Howe didn’t do it to Lascelles when Trippier came in and I’d doubt he’d do it now.

Yeah he had it when trippier went off, then he gave it to Bruno

That's a small example of what I was saying earlier. I realise it doesn't mean a ton, but it's interesting that the armband would be given to Joelinton before Bruno. The team - including Bruno himself - might see it differently to how we do.

Ridiculously arrogant article in the MEN about how Bruno is expected to leave this summer and Manure are the best fit. The Weasel Ashworth will make it happen apparently. They couldn't afford his jockstrap.

Hope they have 100m in cold hard cash ready to pay us in that case. :lol:
