Sandro Tonali

[r0cafella]

Anyways I'm sure if spurs are serious they will be in a hurry to get it done so let's rinse the cunts and move on.

Aye needs to be done sharpish. Let’s avoid the whole cinema that was the Isak saga and let’s get down to (hopefully) signing some real good players.

Sorry late to the party, can anyone explain why Tonali would sign for a dogshit side like spurs who don’t pay big wages?

Will echo previous page.

 

Not too long ago we were sitting here talking about potential title races and wondering what could happen with Isak, Gordon, Bruno and Tonali at the core of this team if a few things broke our way. Now Isak is gone, Gordon has left, and Tonali is being linked away. We’ll rebuild, and that’s part of football, but if I’m honest with myself, I’m sad. This group gave me some of the best memories I’ve ever had supporting Newcastle, and while I’m excited for whatever comes next, the reality is that the team that made us believe again is slowly being broken up by PSR/SCR, transfers, balance sheets, age and time. I’ll get behind the next core just like I always do, but I’m going to miss this group. All of them. Yes even the rat.

They are seemingly throwing that out of the window and going all in on a manager who doesn't stay anywhere long

 

London is another factor which has to be considered.

They are willing to offer 200K ppw this time.

You don't think his performances have dipped this season?

I do but it’s mostly on the ball. 
 

I never thought he was as good as some claimed. Never thought he was better than Bruno. He was always loose on the ball.  
 

He was noticeably worse on the ball last season but it wasn’t anything new - just worse. As a unit the midfield has looked disjointed. Tonali isn’t good enough on the ball to hold but also needs better players around him at 8.  I think he’s best playing behind a 10 he can keep passing too. 
 

 

I don’t think he’s easily replaced at all. cm in a Howe system is difficult.

Agreed. Even the ones I rate less - I’m deeply fond of them because they delivered for me time and again.  Seeing the team being broken up is sad and tbh worse still because I don’t have faith that what’s next will be close to as good.  I’ve even lost a lot of faith in Howe. 
 

Selling 3 of our best players in 14 months hurts. 
 

Oh well. We move.
