He naturally gravitates to the left so more than likely left wing.
Andy Carroll was a cracking player, just a crock.
You can see it clearly that he is awkward and a bit uncoordinated in the way he receives the ball or when he attempts to dribble, it's not refined, but it's good enough as he did very well in a top competition like CL, and he uses his power & pace extremely well to get past players in tight spots, I only watched 2-3 CL games for him alongside some compilation vids, I remember the game vs Barca, the goal he scored after his weird step-overs! it didn't look that natural/clean, but his finishing technique is clean, that is very obvious to see and it's the most important ability for a striker.
What does this video have to do with him and Bruno. Does Bruno play like their front 4?
God, that would be terrible with those three.
My point is Bruno isn’t a playmaker and just because he had good assist stance doesn’t make the playmaker statement true. Hence again why I reference Salah who clearly has good assist too. Which is why you’ve been stressing trying to exaplain why his stats don’t make him a playmaker.
I feel the same way, as good as his finishing is, you kind of need some good technique to get in the position to finish in the PL. I don't think he can be a box poacher at United and wait for everything to come to him. I can't help but think he's going to massively flop if he comes to England.
You said the reason why Nunez and Bruno won’t work because Nunez isn’t a link up striker and our attacks would break down as that’s what Bruno requires. By showing you that the video, it shows you Haller was assigned to play further up to make run to the box to score and more involved in the box to score like a poacher and he has less involvement in link up play despite of playing with players who have been coached to play link up play like Tadic and Antony.
But I told you Bruno is not winger, Salah is a winger. He is playmaker just like Zidane and Iniesta. Neither Zidane and Iniesta are wingers too just like Bruno. So your comparison with Salah makes zero sense. The comparison Bruno with Zidane and Iniesta make more sense because they play as advanced playmaker.
Looking awkward isn't actually being awkard though?
No argument from me here, I believe he has the potential to be an excellent striker in the PL and for us too next season
I disagree with bolded part, nothing is guaranteed but I think he has the potential to succeed in the PL, his young age, his power & pace, his tenacity & high work rate, are attributes that will be the foundation for him to flourish in the PL
Lot of players with mediocre technique scored lot of goals, that too for midtable and lower table teams.
That's easier because they get more space.
Pressing from the front is very important in modern pressing tactics. One of the reasons as to why Tuchel has given up on Lukaku for example. You can’t get away with coasting these days.
How when Bruno can’t play like Tadic and Antony. My point is you can’t have both. Just like how we have suffered with CR7 and Bruno this season. The problem is Bruno. Whether ETH can coach Nunez better we will see. But he can’t play both of them together because he’s not the type of striker that Bruno would benefit from. Which is my whole point.
Yep that doesn’t describe Zidane and Iniesta then does it. So can we confirm you don’t see them as playmakers now?
I think you’re probably right on that if ronaldo stays. As in a wide forward but not sure what side
And barely any service. If that's easy, goal scoring charts would be topped or flooded by those players.
Lukaku is neither a workhorse nor a baller.
I thought you told me the reason it wouldn't benefit Bruno as he requires link up play, which is not Nunez's strength so they both can't play together. But I just showed the video where Haller didn't need to get involved in the link up play. So what is your issue now after I counter your ''link up play'' argument with the video that shows Ajax striker (Haller) doesn't need to get involved in the link up play?
So Zidane and Iniesta don't make incisive passes to the wingers or forwards, seeing them through on goal or to deliver killer crosses, as well as scoring goals themselves??
I mean, Bruno is the definition of a playmaker. Its what he does.
If bruno is one thing, he is a playmaker. Maybe he isnt has good as de bruyne, but he is creating the most chances for us. Even de bruyne was taken off last night.
Bruno absolutely does do that…just not consistently. The man is a wizard, he pulls of some absolutely ridiculous stuff to retain the ball and get passes off. The issue is he’s just as likely to give the ball away doing something stupid. I still think under a proper manager he can be even better. But no he’s never going to be a Xavi and that’s clearly not the only kind of creator/playmaker.
What you're describing is a latter part of his career Scholes, a Xavi, Modric type player you're right Bruno is nothing like them but then those players aren't really creators either which Bruno is
You are describing a deep playmaker like Pirlo, Scholes, Xavi, Modric or FDJ at Ajax.
That would be a DLP in the mould of Pirlo, Xavi, Carrick. You're right, Bruno isn't that. But pure playmaker, that is the definition of what Bruno is.
And he's never going to be an Iniesta or Zidane either who dominated high stakes games in a way beyond any of Bruno's capabilities.
But that is largely irrelevant. So he’s not as good as zidane, that’s a pretty high bar mate. He’s easily in the top 5 number 10s in world football and for me would get in most teams currently up their with De Bruyne. I reckon he will prove that under the next manager.
I haven't seen a poster in here saying Bruno level is Iniesta level. Was that you? You were the one who started mention Iniesta name after all.You got to love the Bruno loving.
Football ability level = Elano
Manchester United fan status level = Iniesta

The only problem with that is that we apparently signed Sancho to play on the left, so I suspect we'll either go two up front and let him play alongside Ronaldo or play him as a wide forward on the right.
Yeah I think the 2 up top would be more likely tbh. I suspect though it'll be 1 or the other. Ronaldo can't play every game.
