Could be anywhere between Ronaldo 9, Ronaldinho, Neymar, or a Robinho (talking about the footballer not the person 🤮). It does not look like he's going to turn into Robinho at this point tho. Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras Portuguese manager/coach is also someone to keep an eye on. He's doing something incredible and without the riches of Flamengo. Word is that he's disciplined, tactically savvy (as we saw when we played them in the WCC), and also a great motivator--his players eat dirt for him. Sounds like young Mourinho coaching in the Portuguese leagues.... robsblubot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too interested in Bruno. If we're chasing tough to get midfielders, I'd rather we try again for Lavia & De Jong. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,186 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 We have put off revitalizing the midfield for too long. Also getting the right midfielder is key for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Yeah Newcastle fans are pretty calm and confident Bruno isn't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I think Bruno is the best there is in his role atm and will likely star for Brazil in the WC. We should definitely make a move for him if he’s available. His mentality alone makes him almost a sure thing. Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,280 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Bruno G is under contract at Newcastle for another several years. There’s absolutely zero chance Newcastle would even pick up the phone if we (or anyone else in the PL) came calling. Not like they need money since they have unlimited cash now. They probably see themselves as a club who will be on the same level as the Big 6 within the next 2-3 years so selling their best player now undermines that effort. Like most other Brazilians who attract attention at smaller clubs, he’ll likely end up at Barca or RM in a year or two.

His actions then are part of what motivates my conviction that we won't get him. I was desperate that we should buy Bellingham but, when we and Utd tried to, he accepted an invitation to visit Carrington, but it was reported that he turned down the opportunity to look around Cobham. That was when Dortmund were the main competition. Now his options will be the best teams, and/or the biggest clubs, in the world. Our squad builders should make a pitch for Bellingham of course, but they shouldn't waste any emotional energy on the idea that we'd actually get him.
