Optimistic Nut Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Think we'll miss him a lot more than people think tbh. He's not started a single game against anyone out of the top 7. Some of our downfall last season was turning draws into wins against the lesser sides. I know we howked Sheff Utd but I think long term, his ability would have shone through more and helped to convert those. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Produced a medical note proving he has gambling addiction, why wasn't this shared before he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I thought his quality was there, his positional sense within needed time and obviously it takes time to get up to speed with the way Howe has us playing (Gordon is the classic example of this) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair question, but then why hasn’t he been banned already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was. We don't know what the club knew when he signed here. Maybe they knew about the gambling addiction but DIDNT know about the fact he was betting on football.

prefabtoon Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Newcastle United have made an important behind-the-scenes appointment. Dr Ian Mitchell will join as the club’s Head of Psychology next month when he leaves his current role as Head of Performance Psychology at the Wales FA. Tell Me Mr Tonali How was your childhood. https://www.newcastleworld.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/exciting-ex-england-man-known-to-kieran-trippier-will-join-newcastle-united-next-month-4377100 Edited October 19, 2023 by prefabtoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Same people demanding we get players to share all their personal information, vices and relationship history before signing would not doubt be fuming if they were asked the same before a job offer. Fair enough if you work in legal profession or police or something but howeh, he plays football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one for overreacting but there's no way he couldn't be a contender for worst ever signing as it stands. I think others still hold the title as it stands but I'm amazed at how relaxed people are about being potentially massively swindled here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a chance if it’s a lengthy ban that he doesn’t play for us again. I’m not trying to be melodramatic, but it’s hardly something which has a tiny chance of occurring. Considered the size of the outlay, it’s up there at the moment. Hopefully in a couple of years time this thread is a great big Tonali love-in. But at the minute people are well within their rights to be fucking furious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoU Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Maybe the point of the Tonali signing all along was to keep Longstaff motivated while Willock was out.. It seemed to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 He will be a big miss. That said, I still think he could contribute a lot next season. Just to think he has been playing with his mind have troubles - next season when everything’s clear he would be quality This season though…we can only hope for a lucky season with very few injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoU Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Wouldn't it make sense with these giant money signings to put in some clauses for the player getting banned for stuff they did before signing? It might still be that we did that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 He'll be a massive miss. Even just mentally for the squad. It keeps the other midfielders on their toes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed him hugely last year whenever he was out, it's a big blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but we know this anyway, it has no bearing upon our FFP position, we can’t magic away the transfer and get our money back so it’s the status quo.
