[Albion] Would you offer Bruno and Bong new contracts?

dejavuatbtn · Feb 5, 2019

Bruno - new role as Head of Nutrition and Lifestyle for the whole club.
Bong is probably worth keeping on unless something better becomes available. I suspect our future playing budget will be directed elsewhere.

As for the question, yeah, give 'em an extra year, unless there are very capable replacements (or replacements for the regular starters) lined up. If not, they've both proved they are capable deputies.

I will flounce for a month...I love Bruno. He Makes going to the Amex more enjoyable.

Bong : 1 Year contract. Sorry, I'm not 'Team Bong' and never have been - but he's an able back up. I have to say he had the best game I've ever seen him play against Watford. I think he wore a magnetic headband to confuse himself as he actually went... forwards!

Bruno : Think about this... If he was 28 years old, sharper (bodily) and with his footballing brain, he'd be absolutely first choice every time. He's absolute quality in my book. So - with a fantastic footballing brain, a whole squad and staff at a club who love the guy, why not let him retire then have him on the coaching staff? Just think what he could teach young defenders, or help the team study players and come up with tactics...

I think that CH will make a decision based on their ability or otherwise to perform next season if needed rather than sentiment which influences most opinions on NSC.

I don't see any sentimentality on this thread.

Nope. Time to move on. Replace them with better.

Bruno should get a testimonial, if we still do these kind of things.

I wasnt referring specifically to this thread but the general opinion on NSC that Bruno must be given a job at the club.

Bong is willing and able. afraid Bruno may only be willing.

That's nothing to do with him getting another contract to play or ability to perform.

Perkino · Feb 5, 2019

It would depend on offloading Schelotto & Suttner. No point in having 3 fullbacks for each side just for the sake of it.

I'd be happy to retain either but feel like both may move on

Al the blue colouring in the site should be changed to black for at least a month.

Bruno. We don't see what he brings to the team and dressing room. That may or may not be a deciding factor for Chrissy.

Bong. Yes as back up.

Lush · Feb 5, 2019

Might be a different decision if they were HGP.

I cannot comprehend a day when Bruno is not part of our squad anymore. I'm not even over Calde leaving yet.

I'd look at it like this.

Question 1 - Can we get a better Right Back back up than Bruno?
Answer - probably not one who would be happy to be a back up

Question 2 - Should we get someone to genuinely compete with Montoya for first choice
Answer - Yes if we can get him. If we can't, offer Bruno another year

We can answer exactly the same questions for Bong and Bernardo.

Personally I think we would do well to find better than our current options, who are aware they may not be coming in as first team, at a wage we're willing to pay. Great if we can manage it. If we can't, I have every confidence that Bong and Bruno will continue to perform well in the Premier league for another year

sussex_guy2k2 · Feb 5, 2019

Yep, to both. What capacity Bruno signs on in is another matter, but the guy has earned the right to another contract if he thinks he has another year as a back up.

Hamilton · Feb 5, 2019

If offer Bong a new contract, but not Bruno.

Bruno must know this is his last year. We will have to look for better depth in the role.

Anyhow, defence is not the problem in my view.

Yes just one week. We're talking about binning off Bruno, not iBruno.

OzMike · Feb 5, 2019

No and possibly add Murray to that list as well.

I'm still mourning Orlandi leaving.
