PLayed Brunos position more than the others you mention

Would you have been happy for us to splash 60-80m on Grealish? because that's what Villa would be asking for and he's not anywhere close to being worth that seeing as we already have Fernandes.
Did they at least leave the address from that highlight of the day site before it got scrubbed? Asking for a friend.
We're all waiting and hoping for Sancho but if you take a step back and look at our front 4 as it is with Pogba and another behind them and now potentially another CAM of quality to come in off of the bench rather than it being Lingard or Andreas then it actually is reason for excitement
Well you've just described it
I don’t remember him playing there to be honest. I might be wrong but I can only remember him playing as a 10, even a second striker at times. His passing is too inconsistent to work as an 8 long term in my opinion.
Who's unhappy and wwhy?Imagine being unhappy with us signing a young promising player who has already shown he can play at top levelEven if he doesn't become a Messi of midfielders he surely should be a good player for us and add depth which we are lacking a lot. Our fans have been crying for months now because we made no signings and now when we made one you are crying again because his name isn't Sancho
It’s amazing how a geography teacher, with zero credibility who only wants British players is able to attract anyone if any worth...
Like the fact he can make those short passes against teams with a compact defensive shape; he should be effective in the box.
Yeah I don’t think our dealings are as clueless as people make out at times.
Everything we do is panned by fans. Transfers for Big name signings take a long while to conclude, most of the narrative it is driven by that.
Very impressive signing if it’s true. It’s pretty much the opposite to how we’ve conducted business in recent years.
Ole is a geography teacher?
We paid 80 for Maguire
. I do agree though, Grealish is a good player, but I'm yet to be convinced he is top drawer and what we need.Important question, how is against a high press?
you know what - yes I would! Because what’s an extra 20 mill when it comes to getting a proper class act? I accept that is subjective
but I think bruno and jack could dovetail and with our runners/ strikers the movement and opportunities would be exponential.
hey that’s just my opinion!
but please dont get me wrong - I’m not saying don’t get Donny - just want Grealish / sancho / both!!!!
Strange transfer, he isnt British.
he is more of a DM than a CAM
Grealish wears children’s shorts. It’s a hard pass from me.
Yeah we needed Maguire more than we need Grealish. Grealish would be behind Bruno in the centre and he’s not really a right winger so he would be a “luxury” buy. Which £80m is excessive.We paid 80 for Maguire
Would actually be over double what van de Beek costs. Villa holding firm at £80m.
We can do things in the transfer market other clubs can only dream of... Or words to that effect.
Ermmmm mods? Is this... is this allowed now?
As much as one may be inclined to agree with some of the notions raised here surely we can’t going around calling people cumstains
Yeah he enjoys a bit of moon lighting here and there.
From what I saw he plays good one touch and finds decent solutions, not a flair player but keeping it simple, there were highlights of all his touches in UCL. In that regard he has good technique.
And no shinpads. Do not want.
Get in. Now push on
Not really.
I wanted Grealish to join us as much as anybody else, but I think getting Donny instead is shrewd business. Grealish was always going to be super expensive once Villa stayed up, and it seems unlikely that we'll make those kinds of deals this summer. Getting Donny for €40m instead just makes a ton of sense.
Please don’t make stuff up.
Agreed. Grealish may prove me wrong, but 80 million is too much, even in today's market. We could use that amount in more needy areas.
Great share! Much prefer these videos vs 'best hits' as you get a genuine insight into vdB total play.
One massive difference between vdB and the Grealish/Brooks type options is he has played vs Munich, Madrid, Juventus etc many times. And watching these videos, great to see he can cope vs the very best.
To me he looks like a Gerrard regen, albeit it will take a little while for him to develop into the genuine version. Still only 23 (about same age Rio or Keane joined us).
Bruno could easily play at 8.
Yeah I’ve seen him in the CL but not more than that. Looked good there, but hopefully he’s good under pressure as we struggle with that.
I feel he was a very promising talent who’s suddenly got shit in the last 2 hours
Great signing, good value and in a position we need quality CAM/Offensive CM.
Tactically exactly what we need!

I’ve just looked at what the post was that warranted that rant as a reply and it was such a nothing post

yep I’m really happy with his signing, hard to believe there’s some saying it’s not good. From the times I’ve seen him play for Ajax if he can replicate that then I think he will be a great addition to our squad.
So if I gathered correctly he's a Bruno backup but can play as a 8 too?
