Ikon Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Seen quite a few videos of Tonali but I think this one is my favourite of him doing various things. I think and hope that he will be used as box to box as I reckon that’s his best role. Like the idea that he can drop deeper at times too to alternate with Bruno. Think he’s best to the right/left of a midfield three. Alternatively in a double pivot with freedom to roam forward. No matter what, I like that he is very all round and versatile and can play various roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Couldn’t really be a more perfect midfielder for us, by the look of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbee909 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Worflags need to do a Tonali welcome flag with black and red Milan stripes transitioning to black and white stripes somehow. I'd appreciate that if I were him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, yeah, would be really nice to have a welcome flag for the lad (if he signs- don’t want to jinx it, despite how far along it is ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much about attitude as talent - a born leader! Some shite about a few of our players though... This guy is fairly clueless tbh :/ Edited June 24, 2023 by HawK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of stuff I find really intetesting, and it really indicates the vast level of detail our scouting team will be going into when looking at players, and why I trust us when buying players like Gordon over people saying he's shite. It makes absolute helmets basing a player purely by their FBRef profile even funnier too (https://www.redcafe.net/threads/sandro-tonali-newcastle-close-to-70m-deal.451521/post-30710839).
