Oh it made entire sense for them to leave for something better. The reality is that Newcastle is something better than Milan and I know that's arrogant considering the size of Milan as an institution but football changes and we are a club on the charge. He will get to play in the best league in the world, earning treble his wages and opportunities are only going to get better for him.

I remember when we pretended that Carroll wasn't at all responsible for his move to Liverpool, claiming that the entire thing was down to MA being a greedy cunt (although that was true), absolving Carroll of any blame/responsibility for abandoning his boyhood club.... Something similar is happening here with the Italian media. "Tonali wanted to stay", is something you will hear alot. All I will say is this.... he can't of wanted to stay THAT much.

Here lads, had this mental dream last night that we were going around Europe signing all of the best young players, like Italys U21 captain from AC Milan and that. Was mad. It was dead funny coz the Milan fans were rioting in the streets ?

Shame someone couldn't find that clip.

I do think that whatever we are doing with Tonali is very much related to what we are doing with Maddison/Slob. I just wonder whether our move for either of them two, was dependent on securing our other midfielder for a sensible fee. Basically, does signing Tonali clear the path with regards to other areas?

How do you know?

Wonder if we can ship out a medical team to Romania/Georgia to get this wrapped up. Nickson went to Brazil to get Bruno right?

When Ashworth is in Milan... its done.

55m

It's Italy U21s, so maybe. Besides, I'm sure we can fly a Newcastle shirt out to him.

Bruno gonna be

Steady on. Show some damn respect for the Bootle Baresi.

You know the old "what the selling clubs fans think" barometer? Reckon we are alright if these cunts are rioting.

This is the time we need you most. If you could give us a full detailed run down of his strengths and weaknesses, that would be great. You still want Hendrick? You can have him for nowt.

Fake account but regardless its happening.

I don't want to be debbie downer and its not a worry for now but like it or not, this transfer would potentially protect us from any Bruno sale in the future. If or when Real Madrid come calling for Bruno (and Bruno asks to leave), it would be nice to know that we have quality in midfield. Ever since signing Bruno, my biggest fear has been losing him to a transfer or a long term injury, as it would be catastrophic for our performance level. Signing Tonali would go some way into fixing that issue.

Too soon but still funny.

Until someone credible reports something concrete, I'm not getting excited. Italian media is famously unreliable, despite the numerous reports. Give me Ornstein or even one of the local rags telling me this is happening and I will believe it.

Be still my throbbing cock.

So simple... to the tune of Volare. Tone.... allllliiiiii woah Tone allllllli wo ooo eh ooh.

If we do sign a left back and we want to get some cash back through the door, we will have no shortage of takers for Targett. He's a solid as they come and would surely be a starter for half the PL. Everton and Sean Dyche would be a good fit for him.

Any reason why you are comparing two entirely different people? I think I can guess.

Robinson has amazing energy and is excellent going forward, I echo the sentiments on him as a defender though. I just look at a player like him and imagine what Howe could do with him. He wouldn't be my number 1 choice but he's a good player.
