Surely player of the season reguardless of how the season ends.

Have we ever had a right back in Bruno's class?
Who in the history of BHA is a better right back than Bruno.

He was a bit of a non-entity under Hyypia, but then so were the majority of the squad. Genuinely exciting to watch whenever he's near the ball, and even better than he was during his debut season.

My only gripe with him is that his hair is on upside down.

Have we ever had a more technically gifted and complete player as Bruno? He is astounding and I think I love him.

What is it about Spanish players that we fall in love with.
Bruno
Calde
Lopez
Vicente

Apart from the fact that they are good players

Fella is a class act & having a blinding season that needs some special recognition so I suggest swimming caps and false beards for Boro away in tribute...(last official game of the season and all that).

Oh hang on, scratch that...I forgot that we're not allowed to do shite all that may be considered even vaguely tin pot...

Player of the season and best RB we've ever had by a country mile IMO

Like his head hair, he does things back-to-front

I'll never forget the posts on here from a couple of seasons back: "he thinks he's better than he really is".

Masterclass in the art of the "stop and flick" pass at Birmingham on Tursday and I almost felt sorry for Clayton Donaldson when he repeatedly got turned inside out.

Second only to El Punal in terms of skill in more than 50 years of Albion watching.
Outstanding this season.
Sadly (and wrongly IMO) will be runner up to the excellent Kayal in the player of the season poll

He was mesmeric on Tuesday. Ball control, change of direction, total grace under pressure personified. A superb performance from a superb player.

I think a T-shirt should be made in his honour - "Mr. Upside Down Man", with his head suitably positioned. Anyone with a design?

The good thing about his game is that it's never been predicated on having pace so you have nothing to lose in the first place.

Makes me realise how many players rely on average technical ability that is masked by pace.

Not Bruno. Class until the end.

Is he better than the Football Genius though?!

He has been fantastic for us this season and really since he joined.

The reason why we have fallen for all the Spaniards is not just their great performances on the pitch but their passion (see Bruno after the last two games and Calde every game) and their likeability. They have had personalities unlike most dullard players.

The real El Punal of course, not me! I'll just stick to drinking beer as my skill set.
