Newcastle rule out sale of Bruno Guimarães
🚨 Arsenal made verbal offer to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. #AFC proposal via agents below £60m - rejected + #NUFC say sale of 28yo #Brazil int’l midfielder will not be entertained W/ @gunnerblog.bsky.social @chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/739...
rekyht.bsky.social6Yeah and Isak wasn’t for sale either. Welcome to Arsenal Bruno
andyc86.bsky.social6Not a NUFC or AFC fan, but <£60m is disrespectful to one of the best CM/ in the league despite age and length of contract remaining. Appreciate Spuds love getting bent over and Brighton are the kings of coming up from behind, but that bang average Dutch defender cost £52m with one year remaining…
Grey Eye Magpie5Market value ≠ value to NUF Arsenal would have to bid stupid money to get us to talk and, unlike some clubs, they dont tend to do that. If they need strength in depth in midfield theres a whole heap of cheaper options who wouldn't expect to start every game
Harry4He’s not hanging around at Newcastle let’s be honest. Project is on its knees and there will be a manager change within a couple months of the season starting.
Ali3Yeah good, move away from this fool
Martin Johnson3Was that for a signed autograph? Absolute insult of an offer
Philarsopher13When we made the verbal offer, were we covering our mouth?
Peter Høst5I would prefer Arsenal to not sign him. Yes, he’s a beast of a player but he’s also a massive cnut.
Josh4Absent ownership, a shite season coupled with zero evidence of an actual project (training ground, stadium), players rejecting us on a weekly basis. A knackered and bored squad playing for a Manager that has lost his way. All of this has made us weak in everyone’s eyes, resulting in this.
Grey Eye Magpie3Ugh the replies to this sound like Twatter Jesus wept #nufc
Timi2£60m is more than I'd have offered for him
I'd prefer a younger player in midfield and ideally someone who hasn't spent the last few years continuously rattling me but my word Bruno Guimarães really is really really good.
The North Bank: An Arsenal Podcast5Hi Lewis, fancy coming our pod to discuss the Bruno links and maybe some other transfer news. Out Host Holly likes the Bruno links but I, Stef, need convincing (can't get past the rattling 🤣)
BB2Some of these links have me wondering if we aren’t going to see Rice,Saka, or Saliba Start until after the first Intl break. I think it would be amazing team management. The boys must knackered after last season and the WC.
Fritiof_Nilsson1If this is as the “Jorginho / Norgaar” role in the squad I’m all for it

afc5ever (C) 🏆🏅3Does this character come with red card immunity amulet?
grumpy-bob.bsky.social1How would ever finish 90mins for us?
Brizo75 🇵🇸 🇺🇸 🇬🇧1I dont want him. I dont see how he fits in unless we get rid of some key players.
Cartoon Steve Bould.36This only makes sense to me if we're selling Zubimendi. The one thing we don't need is another 6/8 in his late 20s. Also he'd be a booking machine in an Arsenal shirt. And the Zubi fee would basically have to be the same as we're spending on Guimaraes. I'm calling it: this is Grade A nonsense.
Jan2On the one hand this makes no sense. On the other, can anyone say with confidence that Mikel Arteta's perfect midfield 3 isn't three defensive midfielders? Because I can't.
Just to say, whilst I agree he’s a bastard, Bruno Guimaraes would be a yes from me. ‘Soft’ reasons aside, his versatility, forward passing from deep & outstanding set-piece delivery just shouts Arsenal player to me 🤷🏽♂️ But…it does make me worry that we’re worried about big Dec 😬
Clarence1With Dec tho, I quite like how Mik has drawn parallels with a lad he used to play alongside at ours, who wanted to play every possible minute for club and country, and has been like ‘nah, I’m not having you wash out before you’re 30 and doing a sad unveiling at Man United over a daft little piano’
Paul1or Zubi's form collapse may be more then just physical exhaustion?
Managing an issue for 6 months and he's barely getting a rest this summer? I think they're right to be worried. Bruno G comes in and he's a genuine contender, so neither Rice nor Zubi get burnt out the way they have this season. Also adds to the bastardness of the squad.
