With all this talk about our budget, I wasn't expecting us to pay quite so much for one player. I don't know if this means we're going for quality not quantity.

 

Tonalifan's description of him very much mirrors what you see on You Tube - a real 100%-er, and versatile. 

 

That's perked me up a bit.

 

It means the journos know absolutely nothing about our budget .

Shay spent the closing moments of his final appearance for us away at Blackburn stopping a fight between Barton and Enrique and I'm sure he'd spent half the game being sick pitchside too. It stung at the time but we did have a reasonable deputy in Harper and we were such a bloody shambles right then I couldn't blame him for wanting away so quickly.

 

 

He was my favourite player at the time by some distance...for that it hit harder, and for such a low price. In the end he did fuck all at citeh. At the time I was glad and revelled in the move turning out shite, but now I wish it had went better for him.

Admittedly I know fuck all about him before the last 72hrs, but as a now YouTube expert on him, I'd expected us to find cover for Longstaff after his injury last season showed how vital he is. I didn't think we'd be able to find a replacement for his work rate with more skill as well but it shows how little I know about football these days

Wonder how Craig Hope explains this one, absolute knob that he is. 

Just watched a video he put on 2 days ago and he didn’t mention Tonali once. Did mention McTominay though.

 

Not knocking him for that btw. I love how we aren’t giving the local journos (or any for that matter, as the deal was clearly advanced when it leaked and was leaked by the other side imo) anything at all. Keeping our cards close to our chest.

He may not be Longstaffs replacement as he plays more central and tge rumours from the club are that they want to be able to push Bruno on a bit so possible that Tonali would replace Bruno letting Bruno advance that bit more.

 

Also it leaves a lot of room for rotation especially if the other midfielder they seem to want co especially comes in. Could well be a midfielder capable of playing further forward/wide.

I totally understand but why Given wanted out, but the timing was shocking, and probably resulted in our relegation - Given in nets wins us a few more points that season.  I couldn’t quite ‘forgive’ him after, it forgive is the right term.

 

As for Carroll, from what I gather he was happy to orchestrate a move, Ashley happy to take the money, and all parties to pretend that it was heart-wrenching.  Carroll’s failures were pure schadenfreude for me - he had the chance to live the dream and sacked it off.

Yeah they know absolutely nothing so resort to guesswork, which makes them look stupid and totally unreliable.

Imagine trying to get past/breaking down a midfield trio of Joelinton - Bruno - Tonali. :lol:

Imagine telling us 2 years ago we could have a midfield trio of 2 Brazilians and an Italian International[emoji38]

Is this £60m then? How are we getting a LB, RCB, RW, young striker with the remaining £15m? #confused


I only see one more singing of similar value. Pretty sure Eddie mentioned that we will go after two elite players and only look to get in those that make the first 11 better

The stick is only fun mate, it's never personal so please never take it that way. It's good to have a fans view from another team, especially a team like your own, and with Maldini being my utter hero in football means a AC soft spot i've always had and will always have.

 

 

 

 

Same here, Maldini was a hero of mine as well, but many of that iconic team were, Baresi, Gullit and the incomparable Van Basten also. Along with Ajax and Barcelona, probably the best European club teams I've watched down the years.

I reckon we’ll see another transfer of similar value, then maybe a bargain or two.

 

I’m also happy that if we’re selling anyone, we‘re doing it after we’ve bought first.

Well personally, I'm impressed.

He has been the heart and soul of milan's midfield for two years now. You can find him everywhere on the field, I think he had the 6th most kms/per game in the entire serie A. Also never ordinary with the press. Quite a personality
