The College Dropout Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 23 minutes ago, madras said: Replacement on the teamsheet, not on the pitch (role) is my guess. Tonali is closer in role to Longstaff than Bruno. Bruno's book value is less than £10m and he earns around £7.5m per year. It's a lot of wriggle room. But fuck that. We need 1 more year.

Tonali's a waste if we want him to do that. His best football internationally and when winning the title in Italy was very much central. And for what it's worth Bruno played in a similar system, successfully, in Lyon. Edited April 5 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey47 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Tonali definitely couldn’t replace Bruno in our current system. Maybe we could be functional with Tonali instead of Bruno but it would have to be a different system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Tonali is an extremely good crosser of the ball, not sure what his slide rule pass quality is like as Bruno is extremely good at those and by far the best in our squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean more the amount of responsibility that is placed on Bruno in our system. Tonali couldn’t just slot in and do what Bruno does for us. I don’t think that’s a controversial take either and it’s not a slant on Tonali Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Kelly would be a good signing on a free. We really need to get some outgoings sorted this summer for some of our fringe players like Targett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really imperative we do this - none of the like of Dummett hanging about Added to this, be ruthless with the likes of Longstaff, Miggy and Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Not sure why but got the feeling from Eddie’s press conference today that we can spend in the summer. Now whether that’s because we’ll make a big sale or not, just didn’t find him as dismissive as usual. Could just be me mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Kelly seems like a no brainer now, even Adarabioyo would be decent on a free. I'd actually be content taking both of them to cover Botman and replace Lascelles/Burn in the longer term as squad players. If having both of those in for nothing meant we could get a better quality of RW/CM or ST in then I'd be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
