Anyway back to Bruno being linked to City. 

 

If Pep wants him then i'd pay over the odds right now. We desperately need legs in midfield. He can cover Rodri's 6 this season, then replace Gundogan's 8 next season.

 

Not sure you'd sell mind you. And i wouldn't blame him for staying put.

You say this as if Pep is going to be there in two weeks

some blues have been calling for his head. i notice that none of them have been on bluemoon for more than a few years mind you.  For me the worry would be that Pep thinks he can;t arrest the slide and walks thinking he's doing us a favour. He is a man of principle so its possible. I wouldn't call for his head even if we slip into the bottom 3. limp into the summer and spend 300-400m. we have that leeway in psr according to many. and i'm happy to dream its true.

And a man of no small amount of ego.

 

He's going nowhere man. You'll sign someone in the window, or maybe a few, and you'll end up challenging for 2nd spot at the very least.

wish i had your confidence. very difficult to make worthwhile signings in january and if enough players are coming back from injury they may decide to wait until summer. it's not as if this lot haven't proved themselves before.

 

i agree he has plenty of ego but to be fair to him he's earned it.  plenty of managers and players with huge ego's that are undeserving. 

 

hmmm is a big ego a prerequisite for being a manager?

It's difficult, but you've got a huge, huge pull. Pep, Loads of quality teammates, tonnes of cash and all that jazz. You'll not be hampered by PSR either.

It absolutely is prerequisite. You can't be a good manager if you don't think you are.

I did think of his confidence when I posted it, but thinking your good is a prerequisite of being good. Thinking you're good doesn't make you good.

 

Otherwise I'd be a good person.

Bruno is definitely not the midfielder for you if you want legs. How about Longstaff?

carver revealing that letter during the press conference and looking so pleased with himself is one of the.most iconic moments in our long and illustrious history.

I know that foul in the box against Leicester looked bad, but I didn't realise Bruno had to have both legs amputated as a result. Thoughts and prayers.

How much of that pull will be dampened by the ongoing financial stuff. Could sign for Champions League and end up in the Championship.

 

Bruno for example is happy and settled here, he could jump to City but then in 6 months potentially (if City heavily sanctioned) be looking at another move to somewhere he wouldn’t have considered leaving us for.

That might cross their minds for sure. But City will have a good idea how the IC went so assuming it went well will let on as much. Personally i think we'll be fine. Although rival fans will never believe it. Hopefully we win and get a points addition in lieu of compensation, just enough to win the title.   Or better still all those that said we're cheats get a 'massive' point deduction. relegating some of the red cartel. Shhh its christmas i can dream.

@RealTolmie thinks we'll make a move on Bruno but move on quickly dependent on your response.

 

It reads like a punt but he has history as a city ITK. He's been on bluemoon forever.  I angled this screenshot to include his decent credentials and his actual post below.

If I was being particularly unseasonal I’d suggest any association with Alan Nixon would render him null and void as anywhere near reliable but I bow to your superior knowledge @LondonBlue  

 

EDIT: Trautmann’s grandson and his mum worked at Maine Road for 30 years?… he’s basically Man City royalty 🤴

Sorry but City generally don't pay over the odds for players and we have our own season to turn around, what's in it for NUFC, probably not enough.

not saying he's knows everything, but he's not a know nowt. feels like he'd have some contacts. but do the contacts know owt?  he had early intel on the goings on in the messi mess. messi basically agreed, but barca backed down on a gentlemans agreement (as i remember it)

 

oh and unseasoned is great phrasing.

yeah i did wonder what players we could possible offer in exchange. we're all injured. maybe newcastle have their eye on one or two of our kids. who knows. maybe nothing and we move on.

If Bruno wants to go, and I can't imagine why he wouldn't, he'll go. Whether we let it happen in January is another matter, but once someone big comes in and the player's head is turned it's usually the beginning of the end.

True that but January, meh, why would we unless it is more than worth it to everyone?

Let's be honest, it won't be worth it for a team currently sitting in 12th, hoping to make Europe next season. Bruno will be gone in the summer but not to Citeh for the paltry sum they want to pay.

See you in 2035 cunt. 🙂 

[strawb 4497]

He’s entirely the wrong kind of midfielder for Man City imo, they have plenty of slow, ball playing midfielders.

If they need someone with legs he definitely isn’t the one.

If you give us £100m for him then I am fairly certain we'll be a forgiving bunch. If your lot try a protracted bullshit negotiation starting at like £50m I'd probably just delete your account

The mental thing is I think we have the perfect player on our books for them in Tonali - we and they just haven't seen enough of him in the prem yet to see how perfect.
