TRon Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 14 minutes ago, Elliottman said: Peak value for Bruno now, you'll be lucky to fetch £30 mil in a couple of years time. If they were to offer £70mil + we'd be nuts to turn in down in our current state. It puts us in a bit of a dilemma in that he is 27 so he is at peak value pretty much. We don't want to lose him, but unless we have some other way of injecting money into the squad, trading at peak value is our only way forward.

Ikon Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) If it’s about 85m or more I could live with it. Obviously would be very gutted about him leaving nonetheless. It is what it is I guess. Entirely different if he was a couple of years younger. Edited December 17, 2024 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 If he moves to Man City, I've no doubt he'll turn into Mr Man City, much like he is with us. That's not a criticism, it's a fine quality, and I think it'll help a bunch of us move on pretty easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we would possibly contemplate selling is if we aren't getting Europe and we have no other way of trading up. At the moment because of PSR we literally have no other option but to sell players and use the profit to invest in the squad. If we don't sell, it will be a case of diminishing value year on year for players like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Hope he stays because he's a wonderful player and a club icon, but I would understand if we cashed in and could begrudgingly accept the financial benefit. It's feasible that he would go even in a non-PSR world. We know from the summer that it won't be for anything like £100m, if anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets do what we have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) They paid 100+ million for Jack Grealish, who's absolutely useless for them. 60m for Nunes, who also looks a Donkey. 45m for Kalvin Phillips another Donkey. 52m Benjamin Mendy. I value Bruno Double any of them above, obviously they got skinned with Grealish, he was never 100m player in the first place.

Tbf Grealish was a fairly integral part of the team that won the treble. Admittedly not been the same since. Nunes is a bit of an odd one mind. Even though he looked like a decent player at Wolves he never seemed like a player that would be suited to a high-possession based team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect SteV, he was 'part' as you said. What he delivered wasn't much, I personally think he's shite, purple patched for Villa and secured a dream move financially.

He made 37 starts that season so he was pretty integral to it all. But he has definitely dipped off considerably since then, even if I still wouldn’t class him as ‘shite’. Anyway, enough Jack Grealish in the Bruno thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 If he goes it could be our Bale moment, plenty of money on but we would need to spend it better than Spurs did!. I wonder if they could give us their buy back option on Delap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) Deeming Grealish shite is obviously on the more extreme end of hyperbole but he has dropped off massively since their treble His whole persona and attitude never seemed a great fit for a top side to me Edited December 17, 2024 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
