Without knowing anything at all, if he doesn't want to be here then fuck him.

 

And if he wants to go to a PL club, get Tindall inducing him to gamble once we're out all the cups, then leak it once he's sold.

 

Until then though, Sandro ole ole ole 😅

Assuming he was to go, it’s the idea time to transition into a more possession based team with his replacement. Would like a genuine number 6 as well. Think it would help a lot of our defensive issues.

I wouldn't mind it too much if it wasn't for the fact that I don't trust us to reinvest it well at all. Will probably struggle until august with buying anyone of note, and then panic at the end.

Tonali is technically good enough. He's shown it here plenty of times. That last tweet is based on nothing but his sloppy form in the last few months.

This is the issue though, why has he been so sloppy for months now? I would hate to think it's to make it easier for him to get a move.

Not sure but every player hits a bad run of form at some stage.

I expect our best players to move on if we don't get CL, but if they are playing badly it means we don't even get full value. He needs to start hitting some form so if we have to sell at least it will be worth our while.

That it's a 'yes, and...' not an either/or situation.

 

Needing technical players doesn't necessarily mean needing to lose Tonali, it can mean that we need that player regardless, and each match the line up is horses for courses.

There isn't going to be a fire sale like. Tino and Tonali might leave, but that'll be about it.

I don't think Arsenal would be thinking about him if he was technically crap. People didn't think Rice was technically up to it at that level when they signed him and look at him now.

 

Tonali has been poor this season with the ball but it wasn't so much of an issue last season, which speaks to a wider issue with the side imo.

Tonali has tremendous athletic attributes but if he pushes for a move and we replaced him with a disciplined, press-resistant DM, I wouldn't be too perturbed. 

 

He isn't really great in that "6" role as he's literally all over the pitch, chasing down their defenders, their keeper, leaving huge gaps that nobody bothers to fill. 

 

This is also a wider tactical issue with our whole team, of course. But I think he's replaceable in that specific role.

From our POV we don't want to sell our best players, but a lot depends on if they get offered bigger wages somewhere else and get itchy feet. 

 

We saw how that played out last summer, so if it does happen we need to get the best price. That's all I'm saying.

We'd get another athlete, lets be honest.
