Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[KRS]

If there's one thing Bruce needs to do in January, it's to find a controlling and powerful playmaker in midfield. As an example, Shelvey is constantly driving Newcastle forward and making things happen, and this is exactly what we're missing at the moment.

it's probably the first conclusion he came to. Not addressing our inadequacies in midfield in the summer was borderline negligent and may well cost us a play off place.

100%

[Matt Collins]

Completely agree too. But shelvey has been around the England squad recently. Can't imagine us enticing a player of that calibre in our position

That guy from Brentford could be a good shout. As could a certain mr Daniel Johnson

[SoccerHQ]

It wouldn't shock me if he went for someone like Huddlestone.

I've never rated him a huge amount but he can sit infront of the back 4 and control things when he feels like it so would be a vast upgrade on Westwood.

Hull are getting relegated so he'd probably fancy the move aswell as he's from the Midlands I think.

I was well impressed with Woods when we played Brentford. He'd be a great signing for us.
When was the last time we had back to back wins? Fucking brilliant Brucie. Thanks for the hangover lol

[Richard]

Ryan Woods the Ginger Pirlo from Norton Canes my non league mate tells me.

Steve Bruce is a winner in this league end of.

[The Edge]

Not the right thread ik but I just saw a tweet off Dr Tony. Someone lost their wallet at the game yesterday and tweeted to try and get it back. Dr Tony took the time to ask for anyone who finds it to return it to the club. I can't think of
a man in his position anywhere else who would of took the time to do that. Hats off to Dr Tony what a top bloke.

 No thanks

[Brend'Watkins]

The two things that stood out for me yesterday. 1. We had an air of confidence about us right from the off, that's something he seems to have instilled in them.
2. It was pretty clear in the 2nd half they were Instructed to close down their tippy tippy passing at the back which they duly did and which resulted in us getting the goal.
Good job done so far mr Bruce.

[Toronto Villa]

I agree. There is also a greater sense of calmness and certainty with Bruce. He's been doing this for a while, and at this level he's seen and done it and been successful. He knows the area, the club and fans and he seems genuinely privileged to manage us. It will very likely be the biggest club he'll ever manage.

I said something similar, this is a career defining job for him.

[VillaAlways]

Love this quote from him

“It really is a privilege to manage this club. I’ve been waiting a long time in management to get something like this.”

[brian green]

I also agree, saying a few days ago that Steve Bruce and Aston Villa are at the crossroads. Seem good for each other so far.

just google Steve Bruce signings in the last 5 years and you will see everything you need to know about the sort of players to expect come January,
still he's got 4 promotions on the back of them
