@iamheavyhands: That is a massive signing. If ever there was a signal of intent from the owners, it’s that. More, I want more #NUFC

@nufcsanjay: Can't stop looking at this, just can't believe Bruno Guimarães, the guy who's been ripping it up week in week out in Ligue 1, is actually a #NUFC player. Literally could start for most other teams in Europe.

@jonnymattison1: Keep them coming @NUFC can’t wait to see the quality he adds to our midfield feels like lift off for this club now slowly but surely we will get there #nufc

@TMarksta: Great signing for the club hopefully a couple more can be done by end of transfer window #NUFC #NUFCTransfers

@SavMondo: Great signing!

@jackadmerin: Still feel like I’m dreaming after a 14 year nightmare. Credit to the owners for their work during what is always a difficult transfer window. The right kind of signing who can be an integral part of our new journey for years to come

@PonsAelius1892: Fantastic signing. Decent window. Well done NUFC.

@SenorDelboy: Brilliant signing, welcome to the club! Hopefully a few more follow before the window closes

@Lauren_DBF: Speechless....what a statement of intent
