Bruno Guimaraes is back in Newcastle after the World Cup and vultures may be circling. But neither club nor player will want to break this partnership…The football didn’t take long to return from its sojourn in the Middle East and the first tranche of fixtures in the EFL Cup suggested it could have probably done with another few days off.
Guimaraes doesn’t seem to command the same level of attention as other Brazilian players in the Premier League, and perhaps he’s benefiting from being out of the spotlight.
He’s become the dynamo at the heart of the Newcastle midfield, the player through whom much of their best football is produced. And he seems to bring out the best in those around him, too. Miguel Almiron was already at Newcastle when the takeover went through, but has looked transformed over the last 12 months.
The international break that followed that game against Bournemouth seemed to turbo-charge the team. After returning at the start of October, they won seven out of eight games in the Premier League and dropped just two points. They scored four goals against Fulham, Southampton and Aston Villa, and five against Brentford. Elsewhere, they won against both Spurs and Chelsea, as well as picking up a point from a trip to Old Trafford.
But why would Guimaraes even want to leave Newcastle for Chelsea right now? They went into their mid-winter break off the back of five straight league games without a win and disquiet among supporters growing since their summer takeover. There is already unhappiness among a proportion of their supporters over the decision to replace Thomas Tuchel with Graham Potter, and with Todd Boehly over a transfer policy that has looked uncoordinated.
