    Only if he went abroad, Real Madrid who’ve been sniffing around, wouldn’t want him to go to another premier league club. West Ham are doing ok after selling Rice!

    I wouldn’t sell him for 200 million. He is the heartbeat of our team and risked his career to come to a club facing relegation as he believed in the project.
    That aside, and looking in footballing terms, he is an incredible player who is having a temporary dip in form.
    Bruno plays below par, we lose. Bruno plays well, we win. Does that not prove that he is THE player the team (still in construction and finding its feet) needs to be built around?
    HTL.

    I don't believe in building a team around one single player. But I agree that even thinking of selling Bruno is ridiculous. We have to allow our players to have a dip in form, but also to react on it; I would seriously consider starting Bruno on the bench against Brighton and give Tonali, Anderson and Joe a start.

    Can’t disagree with that, Anderson ahead of Longstaff in my book. Does he play Targett or Hall at left back? Assuming Botman out, and what about Miggy, I would bench him as well and play front three of Gordon Barnes and Isak.

    Agree Tino - bench Miggy, bring on Barnes and Targett as Burn will be probably be placed at CB. Whether Wilson deserves the nod ahead of Isak, I'm not sure, might be too changes all at once.

    Agreed.

    Bruno has to be hitting the "start from the bench" point.

    Only sell if an eye watering bid comes in AND he wants to go.

    ...otherwise no way. Yes, he has dipped but he has a young un so maybe a mitigating factor and every player deserves a break and a chance to regain his inevitable good form.

    Bench for a while however is not out of the question.

    Amazed this is even up for discussion.
