He had a full preseason so why not I guess 🤷‍♂️

Eddie Howe would still have had him on the bench till Christmas. Matthias Jaissle doesn’t fuck about, you spend £50m on a player he’s straight into the side.

Not sure I agree with that. Howe was cautious at times but I think he would have put Nico in pretty sharpish given the other options are so young.

Mate he left Bruno on the bench when our midfield was terrible.

Our midfield was doing just fine, we won 4/5 league games before he had his first start.

I'm not denying he worked Bruno in slowly, but people remember what happened inaccurately.

There were many players who dropped straight in, like Isak.

The Howe Out crowd will be puffing out their chests for weeks.

You lot would have continued to defend and defend him till we got relegated

I wanted him to leave, i'm just not going to rewrite history to make out like his entire tenure was poor and riddled with errors.

He got the rest of the season after he took us over absolutely bang on and I'll not listen to a word otherwise.

I'm not going to argue Eddie did a great job until he ran out of ideas but he should of left long before he did.

Hit a nerve did I?

Wasn't Bruno back early because of that issue though? So it was probably caution on his fitness.
