Great stuff!!! Meaning we'll have big joe and tonali ready!!! Our midfield pace and energy was a massive strength of ours last season. Longstaff, Anderson and miley just don't cut it and also being without willock we have literally no pace in the midfield anymore.
Tonali voluntarily took a reduced pay throughout his ban. Handed himself into the FA before any investigation. Actively sought treatment. Yeah. That is the attitude we want at the club. Compare with a waster like Ivan Toney.
Toney came back strong, we can't compare him with Toney yet. Gotta hope Tonali comes back strong too.
He will do. He owes the club. I think he’s going to be awesome for us next season. Get that plodder Longstaff as far away from the 1st 11 as possible.
Will Tonali have been allowed to take part in uncompetitive fixtures like friendlies behind closed doors? A year out, despite training, will take him a month or two to get back into the swing of things fully! Fingers crossed they can rotate him and Willock and make sure they are both fully fit and firing next year. EL/EC could be a bit of a blessing in disguise to get players back up to speed playing teams like Qarabag, Molde and Hacken (EL with Leverkusen last year) or Ludogorets, Norsjaelland, Spartak Trnava (EC with Fenerbahçe).
I assume not, but he'll be allowed to train over the summer so be match fit. I imagine he'll be on the bench from 27th for a few games and play a few reserve matches first.
We can bring Miley on to complement the midfield. Ideal scenario we sell Longstaff for FFP. But he’s homegrown I guess. Will Anderson make the cut?
Anderson is showing some very good signs.. he's had some very good games recently... needs to start having the balls to shoot and get in the box. He's still only 21 I think?
Will only get better. But I think he needs to start now. He looks like he is improving. On a side note a mate who “reckons” he knows the crack believes that Miggy is getting sold? Anyone heard this?
Midfield next season Tonali, Joe, Bruno, Willock, Anderson, Miley and potentially a new signing. Sean Longstaff can **** off.
I think Almirons time us up and I personally really liked him because of his attitude and at times he's been very good even in the darker times and moments. It's notable that he wanted to stay here in the January window.. he's one of the players that has strong emotion and played for the badge. I'm a **** aswel so this is quite an award.
I'd rather keep Miggy if that's where we are setting the bar for MF recruitment. Olise for £60m would be a ****ing steal, christ I'd even take a punt on Elanga for a no doubt lesser fee over either of those two plodders. McTominay is decent for Scotland but that aint ****ing difficult !
We won’t be signing either mate. 100% convinced on that one. I reckon MG white will be coming. When Forrest go down.
