timeEd32 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I don’t know. Comparing different eras and positions is near impossible though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should class him as homegrown if not British saying as he came here aged 5. Edit.....he often gets mentioned as a possible for the first player we signed from a foreign (non Britush or Irish) club due to his roots and name but he signed from exotic Barnsley. I've an idea, not definitive, who the first one was and if I'm right its a surprise. Edited January 30 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our one active player who could legitimately get a statue one day. Edited January 31 by oldtype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 We have had many excellent foreign players at this club. But for me, none have bought into the club as much as Bruno. He came in when we where in a desperate situation and since then he have been a reflection of what the team/club was all about during the turn around. For me, he is already one of the most influential players we have had for 20 years (or even more). A warrior and a genuine nice bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I just love him. He gets us and has gotten us from the very first moment he arrived. Already a legend, well on the way to being an icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 8 minutes ago, Cheshire Mag said: He’s got previous for coming out with stuff like this re: injuries. Livramento, Joelinton, Botman…… But the vast majority of the time, what he says in relation to injury recoveries is accurate. But no-one ever highlights this, they just focus on the small number of times it isn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
