Agree with all of the above. The criticism of his performances, as is very often the case, has been way OTT given their full context.

"I hope to stay much longer. I don't know what the future brings let's see, but I hope to play much more for Newcastle United." Sounds much more positive, not sure if the same interview.

Pickford is an inferior goalkeeper to Pope.

Carrying an injury still I believe? Find it hard to be too critical if so, but would definitely like to see us give some sustained minutes to Anderson before the season is out and take Longstaff out of the firing line.

I personally have concerns over Isak's injury record with us so far, and think he still has something to prove in terms of being categorized within the bracket of truly world class. But even putting those concerns to the side, where are the world class strikers at Liverpool, Man Utd, Villa and Arsenal? Spurs too if we classify Son as a forward rather than a striker. For where we are right now, a lesser player in the place of Isak (for example, even a Toney or a Solanke - neither of which I would be in favour of) would not necessarily place a hard limit on the progression and evolution of the team in other areas in the same way that losing Bruno would. Forsaking that level of quality and control in midfield in a team already lacking in the ability to retain possession and dictate play is a surefire recipe for a precipitous drop down the table - and I also haven't seen any credible suggestions of a player of Bruno's quality who could come in and fulfil his role in this team. You would have to be damn sure of who you were bringing in as a replacement, and, as we have seen with Tonali, recruitment does not always go to plan. Worth keeping in mind the transfer market as a whole is being increasingly constricted due to FFP too.

We will be a worse side without him. You simply aren't getting a midfielder of that quality in the market right now, with FFP strings loosened or not. And midfield is already the weakest part of the pitch for us. Makes more sense to sell literally anyone else.

You don't. He's the one player in our team who is completely irreplaceable.
