I didn't get to see the game, but in the highlights those first-time flicks and pinged passes reminded me very much of Merino by the time he was coming to the end of his time year. 

 

I knew Tonali was good on the ball, but not like this. What a coup.

Tonali played for Milan 3 years. 

The first season: very bad. Second: great. Third: average. 

He is a good player. But not a top talent. He is not in the league of Bruno and Isak. For me you have overpaid: the fair price is 40-45m euro. 

 

@Milanista is gonna kick your face off.

Preach brother! 

 

I'm sitting outside having Italian coffee and lunch in probably the ropiest bit of the town right now, with one of the roughest pubs opposite. It's changing all the time. Personally I love that it's not too gentrified (yet). 

 

(this is the cafe btw - definitely worth a visit if you haven't been in yet)

 

 

 

Will give it a look, my sister was up visiting a month or two ago and she said that she’d spoken to someone on South Parade who was doing some building work there and they’d said that all the places on the bar-side of the street had been bought up and there were redevelopment plans. You heard anything about it? Don’t mind the odd bar but the idea of multiple club bars reopening there would be gutting

I agree that he’s unlikely not in the same class as Isak. Isak is still massively underrated in my view. I think Tonali and Bruno are probably going to be very similar standard but having both means that if one has an off game it doesn’t have anywhere near as big an impact on us

Hand up, I hadn't really heard of him before the link. 

Based on my limited, subsequent, knowledge of him I believe he's going to fucking run this league. I've no idea about tactics and formations but him and Bruno are an exciting prospect. Does a 433 still graft with these 2 and one other from the Joes/Longstaff? 

Or will it be a inverted, diamond, double privet, swivel eyed bastard type smorgasbord? 

Can't wait.

I'd heard of him because he was my best ever signing on FIFA, becomes the best CM in the world, people bouncing off him, scoring rockets for fun, running games. 

 

These games are pretty realistic now so hopefully that will happen :lol:

Tonali is quite quick. I’ve felt he was before but when you see him with our players you truly get some context. His speed of thought is huge. He doesn’t dally, it’s decisive and often one touch football.

His first touch looks superb, in a game where he must've been a little nervous as well. 

 

He might be a little nervous the first time he steps out at SJP in a PL game, but on the whole he doesn't strike me as someone like that. I think that was a factor in our interest -- if we're walking out at the Bernabeu in a few months or another final at Wembley I'm not sure he's going to give a shit (in a good way).

Tonali's going to be quality for us. You can see what he'll bring in that short spell against Rangers and bearing in mind he's only just starting to integrate and hasn't had much team blending, never mind bonding.
