Bruno Guimaraes received the Monday Night Football treatment on Sky Sports this week as Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane waxed lyrical over Newcastle United's newest hero. The Brazilian's stunning performance in the 5-1 victory over Brentford has propelled him into the national spotlight once more, with questions being asked as to whether he is the best to have ever lined up for the Magpies.
Guimaraes ' stock has done nothing but rise since he swapped Lyon for Tyneside back in January, and while some are choosing to keep their feet on the ground, many fans are starting to put Bruno in the same conversation as previous club legends.
Carragher himself knows a thing or two about Newcastle greats who have dazzled, entertained and lifted supporters off their seats at St James' Park, having had the misfortune of marking one or two of them during his Liverpool days. And the former central defender has it spot on when he says Guimaraes is having the same impact with the supporters as Geordie heroes of yesteryear, including the likes of Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer.
