They had an amazing success rate with signings so far. The lad appears to be one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe, a leader for AC Milan whose played in the champions league. why is anyone bothered about Lavia ffs? its fucking annoying like.

Memphis Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Remember - last August, we overpaid for Alexander Isak, according to many, many experts. Except, uh, turns out we didn't, actually.

GeordieDazzler Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) 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.

Scotty66 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonali is a great signing. Who is being negative? 34 minutes ago, Kanji said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 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.

The College Dropout Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Yes TCD, we get it, you think he's like Longstaff. The times I've read that today and yesterday must be in the teens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
