Bruno Guimaraes has never once tried to hide his personal hopes and dreams for Newcastle United since arriving on Tyneside back in January. From the first time he spoke to the British media, in his native language of Portuguese, there has been talk of Premier League and Champions League success.
“The main objective is to stay in the Premier League this season,” Guimaraes said back in February. “The owners have been very frank and honest about this. But, in the seasons to come, the objective is to be in the Champions League and eventually to win it.”
Many Newcastle supporters see progress this season as a top-half finish or simply not being embroiled in a relegation battle for most of the campaign. However, the fact of the matter is incoming players are now being sold the promise that this football club will soon be mixing it with Europe's elite.
