It did to me. And Im built exactly like Bruno. Shy of 180cm tall, and skinny uder 70kg weight.
Never did I say Bruno would go for "free". I just said that 80 (100!) milion from Saudis or Madrid is a dreamland territory. Henderson was sold for about 15mil, Bruno would be somewhere in the middle of that and that fantasy 80mil.
Are you a premier league athlete with a team of 20 fitness coaches and advisors both for your club, private, and national team?
Yeah, I'm calling bs that you put on 7 kilos of muscle in 3 months with protein shakes and creatine alone.
I agree. There are definitely a few indicators there for him to age better than others players. But those indicators aren't guarantees. If I would say "he will decline" thats just as speculative as you saying "he isn't going to decline". Hence why I did use the word "likely". And if you wouldn't be as eager to find anything to jump on, you could have saved yourself the effort of aforementioned jump.
Well mate, thats your projection working overhours here... Because if you have read my posts, you would have seen that I don't see any chance of him leaving. Not sure how that would make me "giddy".
Easy here soldier. You wouldn't want to give your irrationality away, don't you?
And you think mine wasn't?Its called Sarcasm!
Yes, and I can do it again. Do you fancy a bet? Looser will pay 100 quid to this forum and charity of their choice.
We watched very different games.... Despite his decent form before the international break, I thought he was awful tonight. Gave the ball away something rotten all game
Huh, certainly wouldn't agree to this.
He operated in bigger space and I think Forrest started to sit a little deeper when their energy levels dropped.
Yes as opposed to arguing with everybody else as per tha majority of your recent posts by the look of it
I wouldn't care, as long as we got a huge fee for him and replaced him with a genuinely exciting, high potential player.
And thank goodness he did sign that contract.
I think, it is mostly this. I mean, progressing the ball is one of the most relevant aspects of football and our midfield is made from players who are mostly really bad at this. Add to that that none our attacking players bar Amad had a season that would at least be considered above average and you see how vital Bruno capabilities are. He could be played at WB or at CB and he would still stick out positively because of it.
Difficult to say and depends on what Amorim wants his 10s to do. He can be absolutely deadly with his passing and he is good for a goal here and there, so it certainly isn't impossible come up with a plan that makes use of it. That said, his abilities with the ball at his feet aren't great. Which potentially would even be emphasized the further forward he plays.
As long as we don't go for a top class midfielder, I don't see how we could overcome our issues short-term. I think, we have to add a player that is better on the ball and stronger overall, but combined with a passing ability that doesn't have to be close to Brunos but 80-85% of it. I hope he isn't seen as a long term solution in the centre of the pitch.
For sure. I think, the teams that have a high likelyhood of winning trophies wouldn't go for him due to age and wages and I think he has a very comfortable position with us that he isn't going to throw away. He could have half his goals and assists and he'd still be considered the best player in the team. He has fans in here where he could rob their homes and they'd still celebrate him "working his socks off".
On the flip side he has united 'fans' in here where he could score a CL final hat trick and save their mothers from a burning building and they'd still say he's overrated and holding us back.
I would have preferred that he didn't. Don't get me wrong, he has stepped it up recently in Amad's absence. However, he had time remaining on his previous deal. The new contract was all about Bruno threatening to leave and the club bowing to his demands. That's not a good position to be in as a club. I would have preferred it if we had called his bluff, accepted a huge fee and reinvested accordingly. We may even have ended up becoming a better team as a result.
