Arsenal agree £75m fee with Newcastle for Bruno Guimarães
🚨 Arsenal nearing total agreement with Newcastle United to sign Bruno Guimaraes. Desire among all parties to bring situation to close + deal now on course for completion; 28yo awaiting #NUFC permission to undergo medical & seal #AFC switch 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/743...
Con17Newcastle fans claiming Ornstein is a paid journalist are so so funny. What’s this…his second post about this transfer? Will happily hammer any conspiracy rather than ask questions of the ownership 😂
Chris F8Hope you and Fab get a nice cut.
Ian B8Gonna need a minute to warm to this guy in an Arsenal shirt but understands how it’s a fit.
Analytico FC6He’s going to be a HUGE loss for Newcastle 😬
Michael Smith3So long as the Superleague 6 can carry on who cares about the league
Adam2so still not done, meaning in the same situation as before lol.
Nathan Phillips22If he doesn't throw an elbow at Gunnersaurus in his announcement video then what are we even doing
Laurie Laker15Always liked this lad, Bruno. Never said a cross, hateful, aggro, or rude word about him. Nope. Not me.
Adam Smith13Not content with going an entire season without conceding a penalty or having a man sent off, Arsenal are now looking for a player who can commit GBH without getting booked. Fair play. Or not, as the case may be.
1.76 Acres13Time for another old fashioned Ornbomb pic
Scott Daley12Get him gone. Just like every other player, more fool me thinking he was different. Thought at one point he’d go down as one of my all time favourite #NUFC players. If someone had told you after the cup final that next summer Howe, Isak, Tonali, Gordon and Bruno will be gone you’d call them mad.
Arsenal Cannon Pics7If Bruno doesn’t do a “Yo Vini, you wanna come out here” clip when he signs I’ll be devastated 🇧🇷 #afc #Arsenal #Gooners #COYG #BrunoG
floschuller7Bitte geht der Transfer durch, denn Newcastle will als Ersatz Nmecha. Nmecha nicht mehr in der BL ertragen zu müssen, wäre ein Gewinn.
Jake Oliver6This is coming to an end. Unlike last summer, I have faith in the club's ability to get deals over the line. He can't be replaced like-for-like, but if we can get a winger, midfielder and centerback in, as well as some fullback cover, we'll have had a decent summer. #NUFC
Grey Eye Magpie6No mention of accepted bids or prices, just acknowledging the fact that NUFC are entertaining negotiations and want it resolved quickly (rather than saying 'not for sale') Jesus, just get it done or shut it down #nufc
Razor5I'm so fucking sick of NUFC just caving in. Spineless fucking cucks. Let's just start writing our contracts on water biscuits.
Re: Bruno. Love the guy, always a great footballer. It's a short career, & his leaving gives the new bloke more room/money to reshape things. Softens expectations early too. It's a lot to take in. New chapter, lotta risk. Thanks for everything BG #NUFC
Jon Horrocks9Agree with this but we absolutely need to make Arsenal pay over the odds. We should not be a soft touch. This is the business side of things. Sentiment doesn’t play a part in setting transfer prices.
Paul Harrison8I must have missed the confirmation that he's been sold. From what I've read about it I'm sure he will. But a bit premature with this post are you not? He's been a great player for #nufc but if he goes there I'll wish him and them nothing but misfortune. The time now is a siege mentality. Fuck them
Mr G.6Loved BG, but forcing the move through media games Via agents, Fraudizio and Orny taints the legacy. Short careers don’t excuse stirring headlines to push an exit. Respect for what he’s done, but the way out leaves a sour taste. #NUFC”
Magnus76Sorry but I will no longer 'love the guy'-fake posturing and unequivocal expressions of love for the club and the fans-style over substance. And yes, I know its unrealistic to expect - but don't lay it on thick and profess undying love. Hope you've enjoyed what will be the pinnacle of being ❤️ Bruno
Andy5Nah... If he's not with us, he's against us. He won't hold back next season and nearly will I
Jack Carlyle5Conflicted feelings. In one sense, it's a huge sadness as I felt that he was one of the very few players who 'got' us and was built to play for us. In another sense, it's a reminder that loyalty only exists when it's convenient, in football. I think Dan Burn might be the only one I trust.
🚨🔴⚪️ BREAKING: Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal, HERE WE GO! 🇧🇷 Agreement in place with Newcastle after long talks and personal terms in place with Bruno since July. Fee worth £75m. New midfielder for Mikel Arteta. 🔜
Justincredible 🇱🇸☔️2Welcome to the Arsenal, Bruno! We like our Brazilian boys. Maybe one more on the way, this window…?
Father Jacks conscience, feck!2I hope he breaks his leg pre season. Fuckin rat!
highburydeathcult.bsky.social2Waiting for NUFC fans to show up with their ‘Has an offer actually been made’ denialism ⏱️
Andy1But there’s been no club to club contact!! 😡
I understood (but never really agreed with) the clamour for a deep-lying six that makes 100 passes per game. There's three elite ones in world football and they play for PSG, Bayern and Man City. Arsenal were always going to sign a 6/8 this summer and Bruno Guimarães is one of the best around.
gooneroxon.bsky.social11I think Zubi has a storming season ahead. People have just forgotten about him but he’s now rested & knows the league.
jezbox3He will improve our squad. Significantly.
lfc-lawro.bsky.social1The fee is huge for a 28 year old. However, this for me might be the signing that makes you go back to back. Always thought that Rice needed a break otherwise he would break. This effectively means you have a replacement for him when he is rested / partner for him when he doesnt - good signing
Alain1Do you feel this cements rice and Zubi as 6s and means Bruno now the 8 alongside MLS and merino
As Arsenal close in on Bruno Guimaraes, it's notable how their patience has been rewarded. A steady drip drip of speculation has been forcing Newcastle's hand before Andrea Berta even came to the table. Big read on Arsenal's dynasty planning 👇
Chris4It's called tapping up pal. Superagents trying to flood the zone with shite.
Jamo4This is very good and covers all the pertinent points. I also had Vini JR as a top-three attacker in the world, who would you say the two above him are? (I'm guessing Mbappe and Haaland). One thing, as everyone steeped in Arsenal lore knows: he's 28 until he becomes 29. That's how it works ... : )
Chris F4A steady drip? They spent weeks tapping him up and not making a bid. What a load of shite.
cocktailhour.bsky.social1Ancelotti showed that Martinelli can play fantastically alongside both Vini and Guimares, it would be foolish to discard him prematurely.
Bruno Guimarães could be the 14th Brazilian to play in the Premier League for Arsenal following Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli, Gilberto Silva, Denilson, Gabriel Jesus, Edu, Sylvinho, David Luiz, Gabriel Paulista, Willian, Julio Baptista, André Santos and Marquinhos.
