The Prophet Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 A for me. He'd arguably get into any side in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He's an A imo. He's exceptional and he's going to get even better too. We only have a couple of As in the squad tbh but he's definitely one of them, probably only a couple of CMs in the league I'd swap him for, he's got the lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 A easily, other than Isak he's our second best player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 B- for Joelinton IMO. Imperative for how Newcastle are set up for specific games, although the emergence of Tonali this year has made him less indispensable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 A for Tonali. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vedder Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 B for Tonali. Love him but I don’t think he’s done enough yet to think he’d walk into any team in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He's only hinted at being an A so far for me. Needs to be consistently brilliant though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 B. As Yorkie says he's had his 'A' moments but needs to do it consistently over a longer period for me before we can start calling him one of the best in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I feel the bar for an A is incredibly high. Tonali is a comfortable B but within 12 months he could be an A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) definitely potential to be A, but B for now. Only Isak has shown the consistency over a prolonged period to be A-worthy. Tonali is second in line though imo. Edited March 2 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Confirmed as our most overrated player already, sheesh. He’s a B at best based on his performances so far in our colours, but he definitely has A potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Yeah, Sandro is definitely not in the same bracket as Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Pele etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Think the issue is not only our subjective ratings of players is different but also our interpretations of the rankings are different as well. There’s a world of difference between a World Class player in the Messi ranks (no one comes remotely close) and someone who is one of the ten best in their position worldwide. For me, I’d consider world class as a top ten player in their position consistently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He could play for any team in the world. ‘Walk in’, well that’s subjective. But he could get it and he would look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he is in terms of what he’s shown for us so far, especially in that first season. However, I think with time he’ll show himself to be a top ten CM. I think he has everything in all honesty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I think he's high B with the potential to be an A with more games and consistency. He's in the right place to get both, especially if we have a clever summer and upgrade a couple of places in the squad so he's in a better overall team. He definitely has the ceiling to play with better players and not look out of place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
