The frequency with which players move clubs these days renders the concept of someone being considered “irreplaceable” obsolete. They come on, they (hopefully) perform, they move on and so does the club.
Newcastle have lost more than a midfielder in Bruno Guimaraes. He was the driving force on the pitch & emotional leader off it. He was as unique a footballer as I’ve come across. Because of that he is irreplaceable. He gave 4.5 years of incredible effort & quality. Given that, he deserved the chance to move on, even if it leaves NUFC infinitely weaker. The challenge now is to find a way to win matches without him, and also ask why he wanted to go. Newcastle “2.0” needs to confront some of the reasons why 1.0 has come to an end.
The ‘insider’ tweets on the Bruno deal coming out now that are like “this has been the direction of travel for some time” “this has been in the works” yeah no fucking shit you’ve been putting out the same message three times a day for the last month, how could we forget? 😅 #NUFC
#NUFC offered Bruno the option of returning today to fly with the team to La Manga.
Bruno was told he could also fly to Spain from South America if it was easier for him providing he was ready to train on Monday.
The Brazil star will fly in on Sunday ready for Monday. All parties have agreed plan.

One of our final Sunday League games last season had to be stopped when a bloke in a dressing gown and shower cap walked his dog across the pitch. When someone asked him what he was doing he looked up and said “yeah sorry mate” and carried on across the pitch next to us too 😂
