Geordie Boyo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Should we just edit the Barella thread with Tonali‘a name instead I think it’s just a matter of time for Maddison signing. I just wish it was done soon so we can take in all these other names that are being linked…! Edited June 20, 2023 by Geordie Boyo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannybagoftudor Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Considering all the high profile back room appointments and the rumoured transfer committee - it all seems a tad scattergun according to the press and media and for that reason I call bullshit on every reported monitoring/potential bid. If (as we all believe) we are now in a much more professional mode - targets will have been identified and approached ages ago - and none of this nonsense should be taken without a skip of salt - IMHO.

The Prophet Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Obviously total guesswork on my part, but I wonder if our journos caught wind of a delegation in Milan and we've fed them Barella to cover our tracks. The way Tonali had broke and the calibre of player feels way more realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I think Tonali has mega potential, but if he’s had a slight dip he might be gettable in the way that Isak was. A £100m player for £60m, if you like. Edited June 20, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Leicester City want more than £50m for England midfielder James Maddison, 26, amid interest from Tottenham and Newcastle. (Sky Sports) Newcastle are considering ending their interest in Inter Milan and Italy midfielder Nicolo Barella, 26. (Independent) But Newcastle will target the signing of 20-year-old German forward Derry Scherhant from Hertha Berlin.

A £100m player for £60m, if you like. Tonali is not gettable. Milan have no need to sell, we have the strongest financial foundations in Italy with Juventus, and of all of our players, we need him for homegrown rules. You'd have to pay 100m, sterling, to get him. 22 hours ago, The Prophet said: Obviously total guesswork on my part, but I wonder if our journos caught wind of a delegation in Milan and we've fed them Barella to cover our tracks. The way Tonali had broke and the calibre of player feels way more realistic. Barella is more likely (but not at the price quoted) and Inter need to sell players. It looks more like our owners want to show that they are turning down EPL offers to ingratiate themselves with fans. Our owner just fired (wrongly) Maldini because his ego got bruised, I doubt he's about to sell Tonali. He's on thin ice with fans as is. Italian media is far more inclined towards protecting Inter, as they are favored by the journalist class and elite of society.
