The squad core is happy and settled together. With Big Joe signing his extension it reinforces the clubs position on Bruno. Bruno's whole family are happy on Tyneside, his wife loves it here & his Dad is a legend, possibly as big a star as Bruno himself.
Keith, I’ve decided to believe every single word you said wholeheartedly and will hold you personally responsible for my heartbreak if he leaves, cheers 😊
I do feel that if we get some of the players out that need to go this summer, it will certainly help us going forward. In regards to Bruno it's very good by the club to get that kind of clause in there. He doesn't seem so far like the kind of player who would leave, even if that clause was triggered. All in all i believe we will be ok and will continue our build for the future, while keeping our big players.
Speaking of Tonali, and no harm to Longstaff because I know he's carrying an injury currently, but I can't wait to see what Bruno and Sandro can do together now that Sandro has had time to settle and understand what Eddie wants from him. Longstaff's metrics in terms of the defensive work he gets through, his decent passing range etc, are positives for the team, but if I have to watch him spoon one more shot on goal that my mum would do better with I'll spontaneously combust. Tonali on the other hand seems to be very decent when he gets into those positions having watched him a bit for Milan, and that finish against Villa was very decent as well of course, but obviously that doesn't even count as a sample size.
Win win for Newcastle. If he stays then we've got a top midfielder who will only get better, if we sell him it'll be for 100 million and we can replace him with probably two top class midfielders.
I maybe wrong but bruno and thete lass (and bairn) seem humble like, am not sure the bright lights of london would suit em and they live in a luvly area up here rivers greenery on doorstep etc etce etc...if he went i recon its a psg ,madrid or the like.... Plus heres a hero here full stop!!!
Keith, with the PL apparently voting to approve "anchoring," can you do a straight-forward explanation video for how it would work? Also, how does it align with UEFA's rules?
I’ve just made the same point on craig hope’s channel. I think if we weren’t shackled by these ridiculous ffp/psr rules of course we’d keep bruno. The man is a muck loved star of the team. However the simple facts are if we are not able to find £100m plus in the summer to improve the squad keeping him would mean we'd start next season with more or less the same squad we have now which most fans have spent the season agreeing is not good enough to push regularly for champions league top 4. And so with a heavy heart i'd say if we can get £100m & add 2-3 top quality players who will improve the squad & the options available to eddie next season we have to sell him. We have to face facts, until such time that these ridiculous ffp rules are changed we have to operate in a buy low sell high business model in order to keep this project on an upward trajectory. It's pointless moaning otherwise or being overly sentimental about the realities facing our club. That's my opinion anyway. Cheers keith.
We don't need to sell our most valuable players in order to make new signings in the summer. It's all just a media shitstorm, like in January when apparently 60% of our first team was leaving and everyone got swept up in it then nothing happened. We spent £120m+ last summer without really selling anyone and we have added adidas and CL money this summer. We can offload a few players for £10m-£20m each and be able to spend a lot more this summer than we did last year.
He's absolutely worth £100m Keith. Totally understand you need to keep a balanced view on things but Declan Rice and Moisés Caicedo both went for £100m+ and Caicedo didn't cost Brighton £42m.
