Bruno Guimarães

[Andy]

Just watched the MOTD coverage where they were saying he should've been sent off for two yellows. Such a thick argument.

 

If he'd been booked for dive, he almost certainly wouldn't have made the second challenge. Complete moot point that they wasted two minutes discussing.

The second challenge looked like a red in real time. Changed my mind on seeing it on tele.

They couldn't in all fairness book him for diving there as the defender did clatter him without getting anywhere near the ball. Yes Bruno was looking for it, but he still took him out. Not a pen, but if it had been given VAR couldn't have overruled it, that puts things in perspective.

[David Edgar]

I'd stay away from the ageing Man City team if I were Bruno. 

[The Butcher]

He's not what they need at all imo.

 

They've too many slow midfielders on their books already.

Feels like we'd be the ones holding all the cards here given how city's season is going. 

 

It would hurt to lose Bruno but given how Tonali seems to be making the position his I don't think we can turn down silly money plus maybe a player or two. 

[Cf]

Also given we've basically been on city's side when it comes to PSR stuff so we think they're more likely to "do us a favour" when it comes to transfer fees? Or nothing in that?

I don't think so, they know the rules are holding us back too.

For all that Bruno does on a football park it is a struggle for me to watch him and think, slow, he does a load of things incredibly well to counter for that, and when you are in the minefield that is a game of midfield in the EPL what he does well makes up for any lack of pace.

 

He would walk in the Man City team at the moment in favor of Gundogen who I wouldn’t for instance swap for him now, at all.

 

That said, Man City can go fuck themselves

[nufc123]

Bruno would be the best midfielder at City bar Rodri.

Same question from me. 

[Elliottman]

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. 

[Weezertron]

If Man City are desperate enough that we can squeeze extra money out of them for Bruno, I'd do it in January. 

 

He's class and the heart of the club pretty much but he's getting sold at some point.

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]

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.

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.

It won't be that easy, he's a damn fine midfielder and will be a huge job to replace him. 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.

As if Man City fans even know what their own players are called. He’d hate it there 

[Yorkie]

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.

Agreed it's gonna be near impossible to replace him, but it'll be impossible to keep him. So lets do what we have to.

stop undervaluing our players, especially where the buyer is in desperate need 

£95m/ £70m + a young player

[Weezertron]

Doesn't feel like we'd get anywhere close to 95m imo.

Not a chance, he’d be just another cog in a dull wheel.
