Absolutely ridiculous to agree a release clause in the first place. Another Ashworth masterclass! Bloody idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is how we'll have to go, and why we need to keep Bruno. We'll basically need to reshape the whole midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 Always thought if we'd sell Bruno, we'd need 2 midfielders to improve on what we currently have with him, 1 replacement just wouldn't be a step forward as Bruno is so good and unique, unless it was a Cammavinga or something, which we couldn't do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 (edited) Absolute superstar without any of the baggage. Critical we keep him around for 1 more season, if we do we’re in for a great season imo. Bruno is actually getting better and better. Please stay Edited May 24, 2024 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste_ne24 Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 I mind being gutted when we sold Carroll and there was a big joke about him being the player on the clubs official calendar for January that year. So for some reason out of morbid curiousity i just checked who was June in this years calendar. Fucks sake man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was @timeEd32 who made a very similar point the other day. You can mayyyyyybe find a player with his general ability somewhere, though he'd certainly cost a lot more than we paid for Bruno. But trying to find someone who combines that ability with his level of passion, leadership, personality, all the intangibles, the way his family have settled into Tyneside life....different story altogether. He knits the whole squad together and if anything, though it might sound overly-romantic, lets you believe as a fan that almost anything is possible when you have a player of this calibre playing for you. We lose just too much by selling him, would be absolutely gutting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 I truly hope Bruno will continue his journey with us and I think he will. But I'm mightily relieved that I got over the feeling of devastation and helplessness when a player left the club for whatever reason, by the age of about 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 I'd love him to stay, he's the best midfielder I've seen play for us and it's not even close. I suspect he's away though, just from all the rumoured incomings. We're apparently up against it FFP-wise, so if we're going on a spending spree then that's because there's someone going the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidooq Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 We can not be selling players of his caliber if we want to improve year in, year out. City did not sell the likes of Toure, Aguero, David Silva etc. Otherwise, we will be playing catch up for a long time. I would understand if he moves to Madrid or Barcelona, but in England, where we want to win stuff? Come on. Its an admission that we are not trying to be the best club around.
