📢 Rumour Bruno Guimaraes

[hydrofluoric acid]

Not the biggest fan of him - very slow in this latest World Cup, not denying that he has proven himself in the EPL but this isn't the creative signing that our midfield needs for me.

I'm guessing Odefaart will be staying and that we don't bring a creative CM this year, so just not feeling this signing at all.

Also if Rice is out, Zubimendi and Guimares don't give that flair to me that we lacked last season, it's just me though and I hope I'm proven wrong.

He might fit as the CM instead of Rice, spamming some long balls towards Gyokeres which we lacked a bit last season, so that part to me is interesting - but not fond of him being very slow and think we need somebody a bit more 'lively'.

He plays high intensity football with Newcastle. Naturally you wont see the best of him in a end-of-season tournament. We should be very careful judging these players on back of this tournamemt.

Overall he is one of the best midfielder in the league and in theory very good partner for Rice.

The headloss in their forum is laughable. It's like they want him to go anywhere else but to us. As if we're at the same level in any way shape or form. Our last season alone (Pl winners & lost UCL final on pens) is more than they have achieved in their whole existence but they are pretending like it would be a sideways move. Even Spuds are more relevant than them ffs

Be prepared to see loads of crying about how Bruno deserves a better club like Madrid or Barcelona lol

It will be the stage after the acceptance he will leave has kicked in

 

[Sammy1887]

Chill. It's not our money.

Well if it affects other positions then I'd be worried.

 

[Trilly]

It is 3 years with the option.

Ahhh, okay the 75 is probably a good deal.

It’s hard to baseline as big clubs rarely sign guys at the top of their game and nearing the end of their peak anymore.

I believe Kane cost about 95M to Bayern a few years ago and he was 30. So he was a bit older, but also one of the best strikers in the world, it was also a transfer out of the PL. I’ll let the baseline guys figure out what a good deal for Bruno G would be.

I think 75m should do it, we could likely just do what liverpool did and offer it with no addons and cal it a day.

I feel like 70M is so much for a 28/9 yo with one year left on his deal. If the rumours of a club option are true then it’s basically two years left on his deal which isn’t bad.

Just seems like a lot and I don’t think they’ll dk a deal at 70

Just remind yourself that we paid 52m great Britain pounds for Noni Madueke and then you will be ok with us signing Bruno for even 90m.

 

[Kuroske]

We have strong and physical DM in Rice and Zubi. But im saying that in Liverpool and utd case they lack natural DM and he could have suit them

To be fair, he's the best option that's currently available on the market. Ideally, we'd bring in another young unicorn midfielder like Bouaddi and loan him out following a similar trajectory to Saliba. By the time he's ready, Bruno will be approaching the twilight years of his career, making it easier to move on from him.

Two wrongs don’t make a right!

Newcastle are about to go into rebuild mode. They need cash. Bruno has 3 years left and Newcastle likely won’t be competitive for the next 3 years. From business side of things, it makes sense to sell high and reinvest the money into rebuilding their team. Bruno knows that as well and he don’t want to be part of the rebuilding team. Considering the recent going prices for quality midfielders, paying 75m for world class talent is not a terrible deal, it’s a market price these days.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

after seeing Sp**s spending 200M on two players not as good as Bruno getting Bruno for 70M would be a steal in today inflated market.

Watch us get Tzolis and Rogers for 200m, and Sp**s getting Kroupi and Leao. Meltdown incoming.

still beating them 4-1. our squad is miles ahead i'm not afriad of Kroupi or Leao you make it sound they signing Haaland and Barcola.

and for 1000 time Kroupi ain't going anywhere this summer.

 

[dashsnow17]

Other teams have a shot of highjacking this given his quality if we go cold.

Clear he wants to join us, but I reckon he'd join united just as easily. Not to mention that if someone form abroad comes in, the fee could be a bit lower.

It's fine if we have a valuation and we want to stick to it and decide to move on, but dragging this out could favor Newcastle just as much.

Don't forget that Kia has his hands on this.

Yh good point, he could go somewhere else tbf. But I’d say close to zero chance he plays for Newcastle next season. You don’t go from training with Vini back to training with Jacob Murphy..

He knows now is his last chance to really do something with his career.

Let's see, things change fast in football.

 

[Tourbillion]

If they get Leao while we piss about as usual I'm done. That guy can destroy opposing teams on his own.

He's dusted mate.

I'm not sure Leao is the player to go for when you are trying to install a culture after finishing 17th twice at a club like Sp**s.

 

[MikelHadADream]

65m is what I think he is worth, but I think we need to acknowledge the inflation in the market.

I think 75m for two or three top seasons is worth it.

 

[Trilly]

He's dusted mate.

I don’t think he is based off what I saw for Portugal. But we should be doing better. No top club will take a risk on a 27 year old winger whose best days seem to be behind him but I’d genuinely take him with as a backup to Rogers and back his attributes + our system to get the best out of him.

Guy just stalled his career by staying too long at Milan.

 

[Mickey Rooney]

You’re done? This is amazing. We just won the PL and are UCL finalists (losing on pens to the repeat champs), but if we don’t sign Rafa freaking Leao you are “done”.

Funny.
