He loves to point out net salary. Which as discussed previously is bullshit. He's not going to be getting paid €16m. I hate the notion of net pay anyway, it's almost like footballers don't pay tax...Wait a minute.

Nothing really new. 

Give me an Ornstein “EXCL: Agreement reached!” Or give me nothing.

Fab loves a non-update update lol you will get 4 or 5 of these before the official signing. 

 

You won't be mocking him when we see the legendary 'almost #herewego' when we've already seen pictures of Tonali pulling up at the training ground from someone hiding in the bush.

Net pay is important in football because of the different tax laws in different countries. A €5m gross salary in France, UK, Italy and Saudi are all very different.

I'm still shocked we've gone so big, so early. I was expecting a Thuram or Kone type signing, but we've gone for the shelf above.

 

I wonder if we look to get all of our major business done early doors then look to be opportunistic with cheaper deals later in the window.

yeah I realise that but that's what your agent/lawer is for and gross salary is the most important factor in terms of FFP.

This is not too defend romano transfer journalism is all kinda a waste of time but i love how some journos report on a bit of rumour so get mocked for getting things wildly wrong then when one reports when something is confirmed and nearly done they get called tap in merchant. You want someone who can accurately predict transfers from afar? Consult a psychic, transfers are only near confirmed just before they happen

Italy U21s playing tonight so I reckon this either gets done before Midday today or we'll be waiting till after the weekend to get official confirmation. 

So we have both Tonali and Gordon playing this U21 Euros. Gordon needs some playtime since he hasn’t played much last season, but I believe we need Tonali to rest well before the pre-season kicks off.

Re Romano, my irritation is primarily his constant gagging to make it an entire brand. The whole #herewego thing, always having a Photoshop of them in their new club's shirt ready to go. If he was just any other journalist I'm sure he wouldn't even register with me. But I guess he's done his job as it's sure as hell gotten him noticed.

I don't watch Italian football so I'll defer to others about what kind of player etc.

I'll just say Tonali has the highest average rating on Sofascore among Milan players in Seria A and is ninth overall for all positions in Seria A for the 22-23 season. His score put him just above Osimhen.

His average rating is also third top among Milan players on Whoscored, who will calculate it a different way. These scores are automatically calculated for each game, but clearly pass the eyeball test when you see who scores well. 

 

For us to grab a young and mega consistent key player from a European powerhouse who were just in the CL semifinal is bloody amazing. I cannot get my head round it.
