Last summer with Isak, everyone was on the same page with how they were going to remember him. Think opinions will differ with Bruno. Emotions are high at the moment, but for what it’s worth, here’s my opinion, and I do think this is quite a balanced view I won’t change… Looking back in time, we’ll remember him as an amazing player who achieved some remarkable things in his four years playing for us. But not as the legendary captain it once looked like he’d become. Why? Great captains don’t hire super agents to drive the price of the deal down, and they definitely don’t agree contracts with other clubs before their current one has agreed a fee to sell them for. 99.9% of players (basically everyone apart from geordies) would probably do the same things as what he’s done, but what he’s been viewed as over these last few years is this player different to the rest - a player coming from abroad who adored the club. What he’s shown is he’s no different to them, which is okay, there’s no rule he should be. But anyone still falling for his great acting of loving the club as much as us, saying his legacy will still be what it would’ve been, despite him agreeing terms with another club before we received a bid, needs to give give their head a wobble. And no, nobody’s saying a great legacy at #nufc is worth more than winning the Premier League. The point is simply that naturally, he won’t become one of the best legends in the club’s history which he could’ve become, and like I say I’m sure he’s willing to accept that and trade it. On his return, I’m sure not everyone will have the same reaction to him, which is understandable, everyone’s going to have a different opinion with this one.
