Get Berge, Alvarez, or similar and he pushes forward into more classical 8 role (his preferred role apparently). Any preferences from us lot? Think it was mentioned that Eddie wants a replacement in midfield so that Bruno can play his preferred role! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Bruno says 8 is his preferred role but everywhere he's gone he's played 6 right? I believe Paqueta played 8 at Lyon. What about in Brazil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives us an edge over the opposition to have a DM who can pop up with goals and assists. It's a much bigger point of difference against say Man City (Rodri), Manure (Fred), Arsenal (Xhaka) whose DMs you know are unlikely to directly harm you. Plus, to have Bruno at 8, you've got to have a DM who he [Bruno] is fully confident will be press resistant and able to play good progressive passes, otherwise Bruno will have no confidence to advance ahead of the ball as if we lose it he's out of position.

Nine Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Bruno is so good at 6, obviously comes up less with the goal/assists but he’s untouchable as far as being a press resistant efficient passer goes. To replace his quality and attributes in that position won’t be easy and it might be likely we turn to a more of an out and out DM if Howe really does want to push him forward back into that 8 role.. I’d quite happily have him stay where he is though. Edited January 30, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything goes through him, he has to be that player for us as he is so comfortable on the ball. We don’t even play with an 8 anyway, so moving him would put him either side of the central player. Would not move him out of that position at all, he’s fucking amazing at it. Edited January 30, 2023 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He was talking about being the more advanced in a double pivot iirc. It was an old interview playing for a side with a different system, he might like the role he’s in now given how involved he’s allowed to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing, we don’t play that style, so I am sure he prefers to be in the middle where he always has the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The sudden need for a CM shouldn’t hide the fact that we haven’t replaced Wood. We’re inviting trouble in key areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He’s only trailing Trippier and Schär for passes/touches per game this season. As we continue to evolve he’ll hopefully top the list, as there’s nobody else we’d want seeing so much of the ball. He would struggle to be involved as much in one of the other roles in midfield, though I don’t doubt he’d score/assist more than the others do. Still think him, Joelinton, and Willock is our current best trio but for next season I’d hope we could field someone significantly better than Willock. Whether that’s as a 10 with the other two moving to a double pivot, or just keeping the same shape. Joelinton and Bruno in a two would be fucking dynamite. Pop Maddison in ahead of them and you’d better be ready to hit the lights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the same, as he also said this window was only ever going to be about long-term targets. Gordon and Ashby prove that, and it leads to thinking we’ll be prioritising other names we’ve been consistently linked with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
