Wanted him as an alternative to Tchouameni and unfortunately he's another 1 who got away from our scouting
It's really amazing that every big English club missed out on him, especially since every single one of them has been attempting to sign a 6 or 8 midfielder at some point since last January 1st. He seems happy at Newcastle but I wonder how long that feeling lasts.
Arsenal was heavily linked to him back in January, and Edu probably did speak to him, but for whatever reason it didn't work out.
Posted earlier in the thread that he'd have been perfect for us, I've no idea why we didn't pull the trigger. Could have played with Partey or instead of Partey when he invariably gets his injuries. Would be interesting to know if the cost was too prohibitive in January and Newcastle just came in and got the deal done.
He’s one of the best midfielders in the league. Crazy consistency.
Unfortunately I cannot see him stay with us next year, best player we had since shearer
If they stay in 2nd/3rd place, get into the CL regularly, I should think the feeling might well last a while. A salary increase will not be a problem now either. Great player.
Why not? There's a decent chance you'll be in the Champions League next season and lots of quality additions to look forward to no doubt.
We will not make the cl, no way. We dont have the squad depth and while longstaff and wilock improved massively, still it will not be enough. And wood and injury prone wilson are not the most lethal strikers either. And the saudis are not throwing money (good tbh).
If you manage to get top 4 and offer him a good salary increase I don't see why he wouldn't want to stay for at least another season.
Did Ashley buy us back? Or are you Alan Pardew?
Thankfully not, i am realistic, we cannot offer him what he deserves because all the other top players will want ridiculous wages too and we are not there yet. Bar his brighton away performance he was world class in all the games, matter of time before real madrid or man city offer him an offer he cannot refuse.
I'm part of the "I told you so" brigade, so not surprised by this guy output. Danilo from Palmeiras will be the next on the line to become a fantastic defensive midfielder, dunno what are we waiting for.
He'd be so perfect for us.
No chance they'll sell to us though
No way.
He is.
Let’s not be silly. He’s a good player in a very poor Newcastle team.
Only silliness is acting like every player that plays for United is the best. Guimaraes is the best Bruno in the league.
It depends on what you want from a player, because him and Fernandes are completely different players.
Fernandes creates a ridiculous amount of chances, is a much better and more extensive passer, constantly presses, has endless levels of stamina, not to mention his work rate and drive to win are up there with the very best in the world.
What in your opinion is Guimaraes better at, that makes him an all round better player?
Hopefully you're being sarcastic.

He is really good.
We only have room for one goat called Bruno!
Aged like milk
Just a younger, shittier Neymar in midfield
I agree they are different players and don't occupy same areas of the pitch/have the same responsibilities.
Guimaraes is a much better box to box. His defensive game is better whilst still being able to contribute offensively. I also think he's more cultured on the ball. I'm not particularly keen on Fernandes' "feck it, one of these will hit" approach despite the fact that it's clearly effective. To be honest, I get why some would go with Fernandes, I just don't like people acting like it's incomprehensible that someone would prefer Guimaraes, thus I double down.
He's a very good player but every time a united player made a foul he was asking for bookings the cnut
He seems like a fighter and someone who hates to lose. The kind of shithouse player you hate to play against but enjoy when they're on your side.
I think he'd jump at the chance to join Casemiro at Utd.

He's just Fred with discipline.
I rate him, can keep the ball very well and would be a guaranteed starter if played for us. Unlikely Newcastle will sell to us though. I can see him going to a big European club in a year or 2 though unless Newcastle get into CL regularly.
Lovely player. Will only get better. Shame we couldn’t get him.
You seem like you are willing to die on that hill but it’s getting a bit silly. Bruno G is a good player but he ain’t better than Fernandes.
I didn't see what was so special, he did nothing but play act.
He's a proper baller this fella. They should build the team around him.
He's not that good.
Funny how people claim he could walk into our midfield.
A decent player, but nothing special. Completely anonymous today

Was I watching a different game? He was winning every second ball in midfield today and giving Fred kittens in the first half. He's an absolutely brilliant player and playing for us would elevate him even more.
Really good player. The annoying thing is there was no particular mystery to this one, he must have been every analytic gurus wet dream after his work at Lyon.
He was so good he did absolutely nothing of note in the biggest game of his career, warra player.
