KingArthur Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 5 hours ago, et tu brute said: You're right he won't, but imo he is far more effective though when in a forward position. You mention about City and Liverpool, you're correct at their grounds, but at home we have more than taken the game to them and have been unfortunate not to beat either the last two seasons. Yea, for us it is better to have him higher up. We were way too open when he was to one breaking up play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 3 hours ago, Chris_R said: Agreed. I don't even think he's that slow. I mean, half of the N-O run faster than him. But to be honest, that really is the only thing (in additition to his shooting) why he is playing for us and not for PSG or Barca etc. Love the lad though. Hope he stays for a long long time.

Geogaddi Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It's actually funny when he runs sometimes as he looks like he's proper busting himself to go fast but at the same time he's like going backwards . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 5 hours ago, ExiledGeordie said: He’s looked very sluggish to me recently. Definitely agree that when he’s further up the pitch he has a far greater impact on the game. I also think he gets caught in possession far too much. He looks at his best when he can put in a burst of speed. He's slow over distance, but he can usually do quick bursts to get him past players. But if he's fatigued than he's just slow everywhere, and that's where he is at the moment. He looks jaded to me, we should be rotating him more.

I mentioned this also about Tonali in his thread, but he looks quicker when he's busting a gut to get into the box when we're on the attack. I remember the Leicester goal, when he covered from half way inside our half to get onto Willock's cross. Couple of other times he has done this also I'm certain. He looks likes he's walking in the Louisiana swamps when he's running towards our goal mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigsawGoesToPieces Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 If it came to it for FFP to allow us to reinvest, Bruno is the purple id be most open to selling tbh. Bruno looks a shadow of the player he was and captaincy doesnt suit/hasnt helped him. I dont think we would get anywhere near 80m for him If we sold him either, probs closer to 60-65. Currently averaging a goal every 7 games and an assist every 6 fwiw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently averaging a goal every 7 games and an assist every 6 fwiw. I massively disagree. To start with, Bruno is the hardest working player in the league. No one runs more, no one plays more minutes. That's going to be hard to replace on its own. 'The best ability is availability' as they say. Secondly he's literally the only player with genuine creativity in the team. He is a brilliantly inventive passer which you'll be losing. Finally, he's the captain and extremely popular amongst the squad and fans. Other than Isak he's the last player I'd sell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Not a chance I’d sell Bruno. He’s everything I want from a Newcastle United player. He’s been off the boil the last few weeks but there’s some really short memories in our fanbase like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Being outplayed by Liverpool doesn't mean we should rest anyone. Bruno simply has to play every game he's fit for, as do nearly all our good players. Edited March 1 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Bruno has been poor, but so have all the team apart from Isak and Hall (mostly). He needs to be playing in the number 8 position when Joelington comes back in. Only a few weeks ago, some were saying we had the best midfield in the country. Well they all have the rest of the season to bring home the bacon. Big three month coming up and a few questions will be answered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I personally don’t think it’s fickle to suggest Bruno is the one to cash in on this summer. We need to get better at selling and his stock won’t get any higher than it is currently due to his age. Unfortunately it’s the world we live in now regarding finances in football.

Dr Venkman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 You don’t sell players like Bruno unless it’s unavoidable. There are plenty of well documented reasons why, all I’d add is he doesn’t rely on pace so will be a top-tier player well into his 30s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
