He was a starting midfielder in a team that won a league title at 21, at 23 he was consistent selection in a midfield that got to the semi finals of the CL.
 

The fact that he’s not seen as the finished article or complete package yet is a positive, if he can achieve all that at 23 when he still has plenty of time to improve the sky’s the limit. 

We know how good our head coach and his team are with talented and willing players. Let’s rock and roll.

Quite amusing how Milan fans are saying "you sell Tonali and we riot" "he's our next Leader, the future of this club, priceless!" 

 

Then.. "60M? Hahahahha you fucking mugs" 

 

I mean that comes across as not valuing your club much [emoji38]

Some people are naturally negative, so even when we sign a top class player, who's own fans are furious about losing, they will still find something, just anything, to put a negative spin on it.

 

Tonali is a great signing.

Who is being negative?

based on me watching Milan last season and watching far too much PL football too. It’s just my opinion. My eye test. Lavia is a talent! Just think Tonali is better at the areas I’ve mentioned. 

Better at dribbling is crazy.

You can also guarantee his salary won't be far outside the current wage structure. Like Botman, cash seems to be the comfort blanket of choice.

Aye.  Romano saying €8m after tax (or something like that). I don’t buy it at all.  Unless heavily incentivised.

This is not the case. De Rossi is a better template.

I really like Lavia as a player. He probably has a better passing range than Tonali, but he doesn't have the ball recovery ability, engine or ability to drive forward that Tonali has. Different kinds of players really.

They are different kinds of players. Or at least from what I’ve seen. Lavia plays the Bruno role at Soton. A lot of the game is in front of him. Beats a player or two with skill and quick feet. And short bursts of pace and power. Lots of sliding tackles.  
 

Tonali seems more like the Longstaff role. Everywhere around the pitch. Smart interception. Running with the ball in transition.  Long busting runs. Good feet.  Set pieces. 
 

Tonali Bruno Joe is a powerful midfield with ability.  Add a playmaker type and then we’re laughing.  If we add another I think it will be as good as any Klopp midfield.

People have to remember we are no longer buying from the equivalent of the yellow sticker aisle in Aldi.

 

Clubs do not necessarily want or need to sell the players we are targeting.. which means we have to pay top end or more.

 

Even Maddison is not going to go cheap as Leicester know they have other saleable assets so can hold off until the end of the window to see who blinks first

You admitted yourself you only watched Tonali in some you tube clips, yet you have the lad nailed on exactly how he plays. That’s some going. It’s amazing what some people can accomplish over 8 minutes of highlights. You Dennis Wise?

Yep. There's some weird takes on here like. We sign a world class player, and for some reason fans want to compare him unfavourably to a totally different player with different qualities. I'm sure Lavia is a fantastic player in his own right, but Tonali looks a great fit for us.

Imagine sitting next to him at a match man, suck the life out of you.
