CPL Posted August 16, 2025 Share Posted August 16, 2025 Strongest midfield pairing we have had since I have supported Newcastle in my opinion. With Bruno and Tonali in the middle, we will always have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't begrudge him that either, he was a hometown boy, The decision to sell him was Milan's. Obviously I want him to be here for a few more years first.

kingxlnc Posted August 16, 2025 Share Posted August 16, 2025 Tonali reminds me of David Batty in how he plays. Awesome player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent came out and all but said Italian clubs are broke ass deadbeats and he won't be going back to Serie A anytime soon. It's Spain I'd be worried about.

CPL Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 There were a few times towards the end of the game, where it looked like they had a dangerous counter attack, his speed and stamina saved us numerous times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curva Sud Milano Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 Tonali's best trait is that when his midfield teammates are having a bad day (like yesterday), he's capable of holding up the midfield ALONE... it happened often at AC Milan too. And watch out for Reijnders, he's a beast... totally different from Tonali in terms of characteristics but just as effective for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 Did anyone see the geordie journos vid about the game? That Liam Kennedy said tonali was just okay. 😂 And Elanga was the worst debut he's ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 Seems they signed Jashari, not sure if that's his direct replacement though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jashari is much more similar to Tonali, Ricci is an excellent prospect but very far from Rejnders and Modric is a pure playmaker. To replace him, a young De Bruyne would be needed but in the European panorama someone like him doesn't exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan David would have been a great signing (for free), he would have been the perfect replacement for Isak for you too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
