Seems, like he will be our third signing after Dealbert and Mathieu.

We will pay around €1.5m. 3 year contract and around €1m a year. Tegasa, a company owned by Manuel Lopera, basically owns Bruno's rights so technically the money will be going to Lopera's pocket :yuck: Good signing i feel, he plays hard, doesn't take many risks and will provide solid back up to Miguel or ?. So unless we find a buyer for Miguel, we won't be signing a placement either Sergio Sanchez or Mahamadou Dabo, the two we are heavy linked with.

He's one of the few defenders that has actually made Mata quite invisible. I rate Bruno highly, I know he's kinda old but so was Angloma and Carboni when they came!

So the agent goes out and says that Bruno is signed for the next 3 seasons and that he will pass the medical test on wednesday!

I wonder why Miguel gets such a hard time on here, despite being fat and all, the guy is clearly one of the most hardworking players we have. Yes, his crossing and finishing might be off at times, but his dedication to go that far up the pitch and back, shouldn't be questioned.

HE SHOULD BE A FCUKING DEFENDER FIRST! Defense is required to win games. Everyone needs to stop thinking attack attack attack. Miguel and Mathieu both bombing forward, with Marchena at center back? And Albelda or Baraja covering for him? Scary shit.

Start Bruno, that way Mathieu can attack. Bruno is much better at choosing his moments to attack. Miguel is a defender who can't defend, or pass, or cross, or dribble. He can run, that's it.

Defense was our problem last year, not attack. Ever and Manelele in midfield (niether has discipline), with Bruno and Mathieu playing next to Pablo and Mata, with Marchena being the last line of defense is ridiculous. We did the exact same thing last year, remember everyone? Except it was Moretti, not Mathieu. And now everyone (except Blaz, not sure about anyone else) wants Emana, who won't defend either. WTF...

Miguel defends well when he's in position imo, it's just that he's caught out of position at times cause of constant attacking. I bet he's asked by Emery to keep doing that and a proof of that is Emiliano Morreti suddenly became a wing back under Emery when he previously used to be scared of the halfway line :pp

It's not a bad thing if the DMs/Cms cover for the fullbacks when they go forward. That rarely happens in our tieam, and usually the centerbacks, like Albiol, do the covering for Miguel and co. which results in our centerbacks being out of position aswell.

Have you guys never seen Emana play, the guy is attacking minded but he also does his fair share of defending!
