  1. Would love to hear Bruno posted something along of the line of “i am staying at newcastle” but he wont because we need to accept the fact were just not big enough outside of the north east (of england)

  2. Tbf he said the exact same thing about the rat last year as well. Not saying that Bruno and the rat are the same, just take what Howe says on matters like this with a pinch of salt. He has to say this, he’s not exactly going to come out and verify the story.

  3. The unsettling of our key players has started early this year – funny how it happens once we are knocked out of the the CL!

  4. To be fair, I also saw that the i were reporting that Man Utd were looking to buy Tonali (within 24h of this story breaking). I think it’s more than likely just a case that the media are flinging shit in the hope that something sticks. In this case it seems that the Bruno story caught more attention on social media.

    Their primary job is to drive engagement so they can get more revenue from advertisers. Stories about X club trying to get Y player always generates chatter from both sets of fans drawing more people into the article.

    Spot on from Eddie.

    It’s like a Groundhog Day this, just replace Isak with Bruno. This is how it all started last year and pretty much around the same time. Genuinely believe Bruno won’t leave for another PL team tho,he goes abroad if anywhere.

    All the rumours coming out (Tonali, Hall, Tino, Thiaw) feels like an even more concerted attempt than last year to unsettle and distract our players.

  6. Honestly this post and the reaction is exactly why people start baseless transfer rumours.

    Any transfer “news” is pure speculation until the deal is announced. It’s designed firstly to drive clicks, secondly by agents to get the ball rolling and thirdly way down the list, likely to get players unsettled.

    It means NOTHING until the player arrives and has a medical. It is not worth your breath or your digital energy. These rumours are not worth the megabytes.

    Put them down and don’t interact with them and they likely go away.

  7. If there’s ever a player to break our wage structure to keep it’s this fucking guy.

    And to all the agents and other clubs out there kindly do one!
