His opinion is the most common about Tonali, by far. This is true even before he was sold, I have to be honest. Even amongst those who were the most offended at the sale, many concede that they think he's an expendable player that you overpaid for.

 

I do not share this opinion, I think he can be world-class. My opinion is a minority opinion.

 

Also: reports in Italy are particularly firm about the idea that you paid 70m Euros (at minimum) with bonuses to get to 80m, some tout higher numbers, but the consensus is 70m plus easy bonuses to get to 80m. This is true even among the most virulent Inter fan journalists.

 

It seems I have become a punchline here, so I'm not sure if I'll be as active as before, I don't want to be rude in my responses as I am a guest here. I don't take kindly to jabs at Milan, and some of the responses I've read seem mean-spirited... so many of you have been so genuinely warm and nice to me, I'd rather not spoil that by lashing out. I'm Italian and emotional and I'd rather be cordial.

You're no more a guest on here than anyone else and there a good few on here that follow other clubs. At times things can be said, disagreements etc but providing it's not abusive it's all good .

 

Stick around you might actually find yourself rooting for us at some point and become our goto guy for Italian football (I hit Kaizero a bit for Norwegian football tips and won a bit "yay Stabaek").

Nah. Years ago I asked Kaizero for a run down on the Elitisarien. He tipped Stabaek to do well..... they won it. I vaguely remember them being a goal down to Rosenborg and backing them to win and they win 2-1 on their way to the title. They were a big winner for me that season. 

 

 

Edit......15yrs ago FFS. Can you remember this @Kaizero ?

I actually remember, jesus fuck time goes by fast ? I used to do betting tips for the Norwegian leagues during the off-season in the betting thread, feels like yesterday but it must be at least 10 years or so since I stopped doing them? ?

Yes, back in 08 they had the likes of Alanzinho and were high-flying. They are ‘the local team’ were I live, actually. Seeing that I support B/G, and wants every team North of Trondheim to do well tells you where I’m from:)

What does SEB even mean?

Thought it was something specific to the mackem message board

Aye

 

It's the RTG version of Giggs (Though the SEB existed way before)

 

It's to do with the Sophie Ellis-Bexter joke about murder on Zidane's floor

@Milanistahow would you compare Tonali to Barella?


His first few detailed posts in this thread cover it if you can look back mate. 
 

I think the gist was they are not necessarily comparable given they play distinctly different roles, but Barella is more attacking and does far less defensive duties. I think I also read that Barella has thrived when he’s had a wingback and 3rd center back for cover.

How did Tonali play?

 

Played as the deepest of our central midfielders most of the first half he played. Mostly responsible for Villas first goal, generally seemed to struggle a bit with the tempo/physicality. Good learning experience for him though.

So based on the reactions to his first two games, he's either world class/signing of the summer or piss poor. 

 

Hopefully his next game balances things out.

He looked off the pace and, unsurprisingly, not yet sure of his exact role / positioning.

 

Which given he has played under 90 mins for us in preseason and has likely only had a few training sessions with us is completely normal. 
 

Some of the reactions are the real worry.

The formation was definitely an issue, he looked like he knew his role/position a lot better against rangers in the 433. Tbh the whole team looked dodgy for the first 30 last night; it was an extremely open game
