Sandro Tonali

[VOOMER]

CFA building, Women’s Team and the Medlock hotel must be worth £750m profit for us then? ;-)

Then we will build another hotel on the back of the Colin Bell called, then the east stand and south stand.

Would be a great signing alongside Anderson if we lose more midfielders but not instead of Anderson

Then an airport:)

How does he fit into the system with him being more defensively minded? Unless Rodri is leaving, not sure a Rodri x Tonali x Cherki midfield would work under Maresca's system as he utilises box-to-box midfielders, such as Enzo Fernandez ( at Chelsea) , or Elliot Anderson, who may fit better than a defensively-minded Tonali.

Newcastle should have a Bruno, Tonali, Anderson midfield now
That would be some midfield

unfortunately managed by a tactically dour manager, the horse punchers would still be shite even if their players were'nt

It works perfectly.

4231 with Cherki as the 10 and Rodri with Tonali deeper as a pair.

Get the LB to bomb forward into the left attacking spot, Pep and Maresca have done this all the time.

It would be but they would be dropping Joelinton who the refs have decided gets 4-6 yellow card tackles a ame because he sort of used to play striker once

Would be pretty good at getting 12th

 

[expatblue]

Another midfielder who can't find the back of the net, we should be avoiding him like the plague.

Fck, I was thinking the same

Typical Minimums by Aircraft Type

• Regional Turboprops (e.g., ATR-72): ~5,000 feet (1,500 meters)
• Narrow-body Jets (e.g., Airbus A320, Boeing 737): ~6,000 to 7,000 feet (1,800 to 2,100 meters)
• Wide-body Jets (e.g., Boeing 777): ~9,000 feet (2,700 meters)
• Jumbo Jets (e.g., Airbus A380): ~10,000+ feet (3,000+ meters)

Exactly, what the red tops have done to them is an effing disgrace

 

[Dax777]

He is a lesser version of Nico G.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Always seems to go missing for large parts of the games I watch him in.

 

[neph27]

Whenever I've watched him he's been fantastic.

I think if Rodri leaves, he would likely be our target as a more defensive minded midfielder alongside Anderson

Agree.

I also wonder if we know Rodri goes next summer on a free whether we bring him in now especially if someone like Kov could be going as well

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

He’s much more of a box-to-box player than a 6. Great engine and a good all-rounder, but nowhere near the passing range or ability to take the ball under pressure that any potential Rodri replacement would need

I agree but in the seasons ahead we aren’t going to need a ‘Pep’ single pivot. If,as it seems, it’s Maresca then most likely we’ll play a 2 with either of them going forward and the full back coming inside to join the other. It will most likely be Rodri Anderson but whoever replaces / rotates with them doesn’t need to be quite the same skillset as Rodri, so could be Kovacic or Gonzalez rotating with both as it stands or if those 2 went 2 others, don’t really mind who, leave that to the club.

 

[Dax777]

He is NOT an Anderson replacement. He better be in addition. At best he is a Kova replacement. A role player.

Not for me unless as a complimentary addition to Anderson. He doesn't do anything great. Just a generally good footballer. Hardly special at anything.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Don't rate him as highly as he would cost. He is a good player, a player who would come in ad a compliment to a rodri/bernardo/Gundo midfield but he isn't the person you bring in to replace them without going backwards.

Bruno guimaraes is the best midfielder at Newcastle but that ship has sailed.
