Arsenal fans have been reacting after the signing of Bruno Guimaraes.
The official announcement coming on Saturday, ahead of the Gunners losing 3-2 at home to Borussia Dortmund.
Some ‘interesting’ comments from Arsenal fans below.
Arsenal fans commenting via their Arsenal Mania message board:
‘As someone who doesn’t watch soccer beyond the World Cup or Arsenal games, what’s the best summary of Bruno’s strengths and weaknesses and what type of player he is?’
‘No more elbows to the back of the head for our players at least. Now stop being a thug and focus on being the great player that you are.’
‘This signing as important as signing winger he very quality footballer he tough to play against i hated him at newcastle he don’t give you inch to really allow you play with freedom.’
‘Can’t overstate how much we’ve upgraded the midfield with Bruno coming in.’
‘Xhaka the perfect comparison, this guy is a next level version of him’
‘Buying Bruno is just an admission that we shouldn’t have let Xhaka go. That’s all it is.’
‘Omg, I love him already. He looks so happy and excited to be here.
Also thank f… we don’t have to play against him anymore.’
‘Big boy move to go out and pull him out of NUFU.’
‘I have a feeling he’ll be my favourite player in no time.’
‘Massive statement signing imo.
Waiting for his unique shooting style, he’s gonna score some crucial goals for us.’
‘don’t really care at this point if we make zero other signings, this guy is a huge difference maker for us.’
‘This is an amazing signing I think.
Bruno G fits this team like a glove, and you sense he’s desperate for silverware.’
‘Seems like a really nice guy actually lol’
‘What going from Newcastle to Arsenal does to a mf!’
‘This gives us the necessary starting-quality rotation in midfield.’
‘I’ve stepped out of the whole Arsenal thing this summer so I really don’t know anything.’
‘Given the state of the market this is a pretty f…ing good deal. I rate him very highly and always thought he should’ve been a primary target since you first got linked.
Proper midfielder who can literally play with everyone.’
‘WELCOME TO THE ARSENAL, BRUNO, G!
I think I’m going to love you.’
‘Haha I hated him so much when he’s playing against us.’
‘Did he kiss the badge already?’
‘Can understand why Bruno G was always so fired up when he played us, he had something to prove to Mikel.
It was a bad decision on Mikel’s part, but it was really early in his managerial career and I’m sure he’s learnt from it.
Anyway, excited to see him play. Very good player.’
‘Welcome back Brazilian Xhaka!’
‘The guy hasn’t been here for two days yet & already getting slandered ffs.’
‘He should have another 3 or 4 good years in him, and more importantly Rice can get some rest in certain games.’
‘Him and Rice will create a monster partnership.
Best midfield in the league.’
‘Midfield is where games are won and we have by far the best midfield in the league now.’
‘Cannot wait for Rice and Bruno to take over all midfields in Europe gonna be a nightmare to play against them.’
‘Top top signing. Should have signed him 4 years ago but oh well. Zidane joined Madrid at about this age and he went on to make over 200 appearances, win a league and CL, and created a whole legacy.
I’m expecting Bruno to do the same here.’
‘It’s something positiv. We absolutely were missing a player type like him.
We all hated to play against him and the other teams will hate him even more now.’
‘Great price for him. Another warrior in our midfield. And he’s a baller too.
This will only get under the skin of our rivals more. Glad he’s playing for us now.’
‘Really nice to have arguably the best combined midfield + defence in the world with a chocolate teapot attack. I love it’
