STM Posted April 4, 2025 Share Posted April 4, 2025 Let's see how good Sandro is in 12 months time. I suspect we haven't even begun to see his potential. We really could do with a goalscoring midfielder to help him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as the price for quick passes that turn defence into attack, they won’t all come off. I like that he’s usually trying to get us on the front foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 6, 2025 Share Posted April 6, 2025 He plays more first time passes than I’ve seen anyone play for Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that he’s usually trying to get us on the front foot Bit hard to describe but It’s more the short ones when ball bouncing around a bit but in his vicinity. Has a weakness not to try and get a grip of it with a bit composure and retain possession for the team if not himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted April 6, 2025 Share Posted April 6, 2025 His ability to ping first time passes just shows his levels above some of our players mind. Already a few steps ahead in his brain. They often don’t come off as the players aren’t on the same level/wavelength. And that’s no disservice to the player, it’s just he’s next level.

Kanj Posted April 6, 2025 Share Posted April 6, 2025 He’s atill so young, the passing will get crisper as he continues to develop. He’ll hold the ball longer or play the killer first time balls with more precision. I agree with the posts above, don’t think we’re even close to seeing the final levels of this brilliant kid.

ponsaelius Posted April 6, 2025 Share Posted April 6, 2025 It will be largely instructional. He was a much safer passer at Milan. Howe wants us to be quick onto the front foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted April 6, 2025 Share Posted April 6, 2025 Think those outside the club are only just starting to cotton on to how good he is. He'll be the next one relentlessly linked with moves away in the media, desperate to derail our progress. He has the lot and is only getting better, his trajectory and potential are sky high. As good as he was for Milan and often is for Italy, we're only seeing the beginning, Howe will unlock even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 6, 2025 Share Posted April 6, 2025 Out of all of our players, Tonali is the one will be the focus of someone like Real Madrid. Not now but give it a year. He's not just a great player but a great player in a precious position on the pitch. Anyone can get their hands on a talented winger, full back or even a strong CB but players who play in DM of his calibre are much harder to find.

The two latest ones linked are Juventus for £70m, who’ll be touch and go to even make the Europa Conference next season, and Barca, who haven’t got a pot to piss in. Unless it’s Real Madrid, Man City or Bayern Munich, I’ve got zero worries about him leaving soon. Loads of debt ridden giant names linked, but none with the power to get him out of NUFC.

It wasn't a "we should be worried" post, more of a, the absolute cream clubs will be looking at him. Enzo was 120, so Sandro is already priced out of every club in the world. It's also why we need to be smart with contracts. Don't let him fall below 2 years. After Isak, I'd be tying him down next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Madrid want him (might be a few years away given the depth of talent they have in midfield Camavinga, Tchouameni etc), they'll have already had some informal chats with his agent about running down the old contract. They're not exactly known for paying huge transfer fees. We need to be very clever with contractual stuff of our blue chip players. Juve being linked to him is lols.

Absolutely no doubt the human shit stain that is Florentino Perez would be behind that. A skid mark on world football that man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
