The College Dropout Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 48 minutes ago, gbandit said: I think he’ll be class. He’s clearly technically very strong, he has more speed than anyone else playing centrally and he can attack and defend. He’s also got a fantastic dead ball delivery and will eventually take that on over Trippier. Struggle to see how it doesn’t work out unless there are personal issues or he doesn’t end up feeling settled. He needs to give his absolute all to salvage his career and reputation Technically - thought he was better than everyone bar Bruno in midfield. But a long way off Bruno. Solid but not top drawer. Good athlete but not totally up to speed with the pace and physicality of the PL. He lost as many duels as he won but was always able to make it a duel. I thought after a year playing in the PL he would win more of those. But speed-wise he's not faster than Joelinton and definitely not faster than Willock. His dead-ball delivery and general crossing were strong. Very strong. He wasn't as good tactically or off-the-ball as I had hoped. As someone mentioned, Brighton and another game - some signs of real lazy play when closing players down. Turning his back. We had heard so much about his workrate, personality and graft and it was a step below the standard we are used too. Again, I thought that was a pace of the PL type thing and a year of Howe ball he would understand. Similar maybe to Paqueta. When he first joined he wasn't right at it - but now he's everywhere, sharp, first to the tackle etc. I hope that will come with Tonali. There's lots of green shoots. But that's all it is. He could easily go the other way. He looked a potentially v. solid all-rounder. But he didn't click in. I never thought of him as a massive talent the way I see Isak or Bruno. Then again, I didn't see it in Gordon either and he definitely has it. At least with Gordon there was work-rate and pace. Apart from maybe crossing/deadballs, I don't see any standout attributes. But maybe the standout attribute is how well-rounded he potentially is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 In terms of positives of Tonali I thought he had a lot more composure on the ball that most of our other midfielders, happy to do quick one touch, sometimes I felt the issue was he was too quick for our team, in terms of what the rest of the team were used to. I think once he is back in the side and fully understands how we play, he will certainly help us become more controlling in possession and comfortable on the ball.

Sean Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 There will always be doubts in my mind as to him actually wanting to be here until he proves otherwise. I believed he wanted a new challenge etc but the ban has me seriously doubting that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) The summer is going to have at least one long, drawn out media saga and it’ll probably be Bruno because of the clause.. At least selling him will put the FFP talk to bed for a season or two. Edited January 25 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Don't think there'll be any incomings as things stands, Trippier's staying and so is Miggy by the looks of it. Maybe we'll play Joe White or Alfie Harrison in midfield if Bruno is is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's far too hasty to make an overall judgement but I think you'd have to be truly dim to do that anyway. Shots fired at 80% of posters.

gbandit Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 All gone very quiet. Does sound like of there are no major incomings or first team outgoings then the summer window is going to be absolutely wild Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
