Sandro Tonali Official

Just one question, is Tonali world class?

What do we mean by world class? If could he play for the best teams in the world? Dunno yet.

I would take that with a massive pinch of salt.

A friend of nearly 40 years with no axe to grind (he actually likes Tottenham - feels there is a lot of parallels between us and them).

Not to say he can’t be a much more consistent player with us. Here’s hoping…

I'm surprised some of his simple passing is so off. I'm not expecting Xavi Alonso stuff...but c'mon

I'm imagining he's a cog in a machine type player. He had the midfield support at Saudi Sportswashing Machine with Guimares and JoeLinton taking on other skill sets and I think he'll get that here once everyone is settled.

I was hoping he'd be a player that would really impose himself and standout in games (I think Bentancur is more likely to be that tbh) but maybe that's a misjudgement on my part?

no he was an all action midfielder in italy, not just a system player, good first touch, great engine and burst of speed. we will see it in time i am confident

Just one question, is Tonali world class?

Not by my definition.

Pal who is a Toon season ticket holder is not surprised; said there was a massive drop off in Tonali’s performance anytime he didn’t have Bruno G alongside him; that he was a player for them who either performed well or terribly (no middle ground); and that he was prone to sulking/letting his head drop.

On his day brilliant, but don’t expect those days to come around too often in a season, according to him.

Fernandes can bring to the table what Bruno G does.
