  1. It is TOO funny when people bang on about Eddie Howe's transfer failures – he had way more successful recruitments than the odd duff one! Successful players still performing (pre-Newcastle) are: Wilson, Trippier, Ings, Ake, Mee, Lerma, Kelly, Solanke (eventually), Fraser, Lewis Cook, Steve Cook plus he improved league1/2/Champ players to hold their own in the premier league for 5 seasons: Francis, Adam Smith, Charlie Daniels, Stanislas, King, Arter et al…

  2. I think Guimaraes is the best midfielder I've ever seen at the club after 26 years of supporting them. I used to like Sissoko, Hamann and Clarence Acuna, but this bloke is tremendous.

  3. We really do love him ❤❤❤ No other word for it 😂 He’s just got that beautiful Brazilian flair combined with the gritty side to recover the ball and win tackles. And he scores goals. Every match I have to pinch myself because we’ve got a player of his quality. And I feel like he’s giving a lift to everyone at the club too. They’re all smiling and enjoying themselves. Some of that is other factors too, but Bruno is definitely something special 🙌

  4. If Guimaraes gets injured, we're stuffed. He's made the difference. Almiron plays better with better players. His understanding with Guimaraes is tremendous. One of the main reasons why he's excelling

  5. Reason for almiron's form always tried hard but not making enough attacking runs now when the teams got the ball more and that is down to the partnership of joelintons legs stamina getting up and down and guimares calmness flair passing and tenacity from deep

  6. Howe is a world class coach who’s now got a world class sporting director assisting him with transfers. Sky is the limit.

  7. Who is this marcotei character? I don't know which of the rotund twins he is…is he american or a macam with a speech defect? Anyway he is certainly full of it and I ain't talking burgers.

  8. The thing is right now Newcastle has players over performing but they still have on paper better players who are injured and coming back from injury right now

  9. Bruno is easily second best holding midfielder in PL, only behind Rodri due to Thiagos poor performances as well otherwise he would be third

  10. It is his calm demeanour that makes the difference.Take note of most of the great players, they all have a calm mentality, like with all sports , it is your mental ability that makes the difference at the end of the day.

  11. How Arsenal missed out on Guimaraes mind boggling, especially when Edu knows so much about him. I'm gutted cause he's what partey should be for Arsenal.

  12. Re ASM I think he had started to play the Eddie Howe way, which would be awesome 🤞

    My understanding is that Wilson wanted us to buy another striker. He wanted the attacking options available for the club and the competition.

  13. I hear Everton, Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea are sending scouts up to Newcastle to watch Bruno… Good luck guys, thats a long trip for nothing 😂 Bruno's going nowhere for a few years atleast!

  14. Tbf Chris wood was brought in because Wilson was injured. Not really for competition. Isak can play across the front three. So that gives everyone some competition
