Matt1892 Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 The vision we sold him clearly hasn’t materialised, unless he was told that he would be back up to Sean Longstaff in a bottom half Premier League team. He has been our best midfielder this season, so I can understand his frustration, but he needs to remember that things will likely change at the club soon.

The way we backed him during his ban, and helped him through it, how glowingly he spoke about how the club supported him etc. He's going to forget about that due to being in and out of the side for a few months? Sounds like bullshit to me. That’s a bingo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloGeordio Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 (edited) “Last year was a very hard path, but very productive. I’ll will always carry with me the memory of the year that I spent off the pitch because it is right not to forget,” Tonali explained over the weekend. “I think when a player trains all week without his ultimate goal, which is the game, he finds a sense of emptiness inside him. It wasn’t easy to spend the first year away from home without playing an official game, but trying to keep fit. This was the challenge I had to face in the most serious way possible.” After overcoming understandable homesickness, a lengthy time away from the pitch, relationship struggles and personal issues behind the scenes, Tonali now appears to be thriving at Newcastle - despite his frustrating lack of consistent game time. The former Brescia star is still with his partner, content creator and business owner Juliette Pastore, with the pair recently enjoying a trip to Edinburgh together. With each passing week he looks more and more settled in the north east of England. Both on the training pitch and in competitive action, Tonali is also growing more accustomed to being Newcastle's main man. His recent displays in the middle of the park have looked inspired and you feel it is only a matter of time before the £52m signing becomes an undroppable figure in this Magpies side. Tonali's improvement is no doubt helped by the fact he has struck up a brilliant friendship with Bruno Guimaraes among others, while making incredible strides learning English with his personal, and incredibly-named, tutor - Simonetta Italiano. Despite a lack of recognition at club level, Italy boss Luciano Spalletti is building his new-look team around the midfield maestro. There's been six games and six starts for Tonali for the Azzurri this term, with the national team chief praising the midfielder for his energy of late. Howe has already shut down exit talk At the risk of repeating oneself, rumours and gossip over an AC Milan return have been doing the rounds for some time. So much so, Howe was asked about the transfer talk earlier this season. "That one is news to me. It is not something I am contemplating. I am trying to build Sandro into the team after his ban," Howe said. "He has performed really well the last few games. I have been really pleased with how he is finding his feet in the team. "He is building new relationships. It is not just the player coming into the team it is also the players around Sandro and how those relationships start to form. I have been pleased how they have." Italian reports continue to talk of Tonali's value dropping given his limited football in the last 18 months but with Newcastle needing to work hard for every single penny these days, it is hard to imagine club chiefs sanctioning an exit for less than they paid for the international just last year [£52m]. Unless Tonali pushes for a move or refuses to play - which seems unlikely given his incredible determination and efforts behind the scenes in the last 12 months - it is hard to contemplate Newcastle wanting to sell full stop. No matter how much those back in Italy are hopeful of an emotional return. Edited December 11 by PauloGeordio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Seems like bollocks to me. The club stood by him through the betting scandal. Fans have been over the top supportive despite him not really performing a great deal. You can imagine he’s eager to play more but it would be a bit of a cunt thing to do to want to leave. I don’t see it. It also seems like a standard Italian media lie but we’re all so bogged down with how shit things are at the minute it probably seems plausible to too many people.

Alberto2005 Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 I could see a scenario where he was homesick and wanted to go back Italy. Having said that I could never see someone like Coloccini playing for us for such a long time either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Howe still can't seem to utilise him is one of my biggest frustrations this year He can't utilise a few of our best players. Doesn't know what to do to a) get the best out of the player and b) can't get our best players playing cohesively together.. so reverts to Longstaff, Murphy etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Would bet this is just some shit stirring from the Italian media. They're probably looking at his/our situation from the outside (lengthy ban, in and out of team, poor start to the season, we'll documented PSR issues) and looking to rock the boat and see if they can bring him back to Italy on a big discount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
