Holloway Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 What sets him apart in the deeper role is how quickly he moves the ball with those first time passes, whereas Bruno tends to get bogged down a bit. We have 2 there now that are capable of reading situations very early, it's very exciting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said this last week, although I obviously don't want to tempt fate. City are one of the few clubs who could probably afford him, I think any delusions the Italians had that he could end up back there have gone up in smoke.

Ginola14 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 please please please don't get a yellow against Villa to be suspended MU game at Old Trafford I still don't think we're winning that game, it'll probably be similar to last season (which we should've won tbf) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno is on 3 yellow cards after 17 matches. He's not massively likely to pick up two more in two games. Especially now he's playing a more attacking role.

He's playing too well to be throwing a strop I would have thought, is it just italian media being mad again? I do wonder if agent has made enquiries but surely we wouldnt sell except for the kind of offer italian clubs can't afford... Already been rubbished by his agent (via romano’s twitter).

Yeah was refering to Schar and Tonali especially now he's sitting the deepest of the midfielders. But yeah surprised Bruno only had 3 as feels like he gets booked most games, but he proved last year he can avoid of necessary so wasn't worried about him. Schar on the other hand has picked up some really silly and soft cards this year. It's also a lottery what sort of ref were gonna get. The one we had against Brentford in the cup was giving them out like candy for everyone's first tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember a more complete centre mid we’ve had… I mean the more attacking ones like Dyer, Cabaye ,Rob Lee I don’t think we’re as strong defensively. Then the more defensive ones couldn’t ping it around like him. The likes of Tiote, Batty etc. Maybe Speed was the closest to all round package..obviously apart from Bruno.
