Swazzdro Tonali

[andycap]

Your not getting tonali. like Alan partridge and his mini metro with Lynn. 😂 

[Kanj]

You should rewatch the offside Isak goal. They head it back into our side of the pitch and Tonali does this jumping heel trap/flick to Hall first time to cut it out.   unreal man!

He was pissed that Sandro left and didn't like the banter as I recall.

 

I actually read it back. He went from "Tonali is the greatest player alive, you're not getting that" (overexaggerated), to "well most of our fans thinks you overpayed".

[Menace]

 

Delighted for the lad.

[Dr Venkman]

Just a thought. Maybe it took a while to get him in at CM while Bruno learned how to effectively play RCM in Eddie’s system? May not have been a Sandro issue at all.

[Geogaddi]

Pure class, he plays like a more athletic version of Bruno at times as well.

[STM]

I was worried that he wouldn't be as press proof as Bruno but he had absolutely no issue. In fact, he plays those first time passes that Bruno doesn't.

[Cronky]

He's a bit of an enigma. He seems a shy, quiet lad, but when at his best on the pitch, he becomes a bit of an animal. That's what we need to see more of, and there are some promising signs now. 

 

I think he needs to overcome his natural inclination to be in the background, and start dominating instead. He does have it in him.

[KDT]

Played pretty well but could’ve done a better job in tracking Jones for his goal.

He was sensational tonight. Needs to be treated as an automatic starter like Bruno is, basically. Took the piss out of Gravenberch time and again.

 

Sean will have his time and place but it should be him starting the Bromley cup game and giving Sandro a breather occasionally, and not the other way around. And I'm more positive about Sean than a lot are.

 

Gravenberch was one of those players who I was disappointed we couldn't get, his fee was low and would have been in our price range if Liverpool weren't in there already. Made my night to see Tonali boss him for most of the game.

Joelinton did a similar ridiculous piece of control attacking the Leazes. 

[SteV]

Another one on 4 yellows now.

Thats a shame if he has to sit out a game when he finally has found his place.

He has been brilliant for them this season and all.  Having Tonali central and Joelinton or Willock in there too should mean we are a lot more mobile.  Jones and Gravenberch get about the pitch and the latter is pretty fast, even.  It helped that Bruno was often matched up against Mac Allister, as he is slower than Bruno, even. 

 

I was impressed at how well the midfield did and how balanced it was.  Even if Joelinton faded a bit 2nd half and Bruno was dead on his feet.  That's where I think we could have done with some fresh legs in there.  Especially after they made their incredibly attacking triple sub. 

[Vaj]

Agree with everything said, MOTM last night for me and I have been crying out for him to play the central role for ages and he hasn't disappointed. 

 

Would love to see Miley come in alongside Tonali and Bruno at some point to give us even more control. If Miley has developed physically as has been reported then I think it is time we put some trust in him and gave him some more minutes. I love Joelinton but he is limited technically and I can see our best midfield being Miley - Tonali - Bruno if it was given a chance.

An average Tonali game is a good Longstaff game.

A great/good Tonali is a level Longstaff can't reach.

No slight on Longstaff as he doesn't pick himself but they're not in the same bracket.

january window on us and Italian media doing it’s usual.

[KaKa]

Oh boy ...

 

If that is true it is such a mess man.

 

It wouldn't really surprise me if he's unsettled though. His role and place in the team still seems pretty unclear.

 

Hope it's just fabricated.

[Decky]

Hardly surprising this is it?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He can't be allowed to leave anyway.

Its the Italian Press, it will be. 

[SUPERTOON]

We would struggle to get half what we paid for him imo. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true mind.

[Turnbull2000]

Wouldn't be surprised if true. Rarely starts, we're currently a mid-table team, and we're unlikely to win anything anytime soon.

 

Fans will justifiably be super pissed off though. First he fucks us over with a gambling ban, then he fucks us over on what will probably be a loss on transfer fee. Combined with PSR, that would be a huge blow.

[54]

I'm the opposite, it be very surprised if its true. The way we backed him during his ban, and helped him through it, how glowingly he spoke about how the club supported him etc. He's going to forget about that due to being in and out of the side for a few months? Sounds like bullshit to me.
