Tonali's Agent

[Jammy89]

Can just **** off.

On a possible exit from Tyneside to potentially Arsenal or Manchester City, Riso said: ?Exactly, that was the goal from the moment he went to England ? to try to make him a star player. I think he?s the Italian footballer with one of the highest values in the world."

Speaking about the prospect of Tonali being hot property after the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico, Riso said: ?If he shines at the World Cup, will City or Arsenal be hot on his heels? I don?t know (laughs, ed.), but it?s very likely. Everyone is waiting for the World Cup; then a thousand scenarios will unfold, but it all kicks off after the World Cup."

He touted him at the end of Jan and is now doing so again.

I really hope this is a smoke without fire situation but would worry it's not.

One thing we can't do in the summer is lose Gordon, Tonali and Tino

Cant remember him talking much two years ago

Contracts until 2030.

Caicado - 115m quid in August 2023
Fernandez - 105m quid in Jan 2023
Rice - 105m quid in July 2023

Last season the consensus among the retired cartel pundit circuit lead by Scholes stated categorically that 'Tonali is the best CMF in the Premier League.'

So with the season on season inflation in player transfers & those 3 chumps all signing for north of 105m quid Sandro with 4 years on his contract commands 140-150m quid.

No team on earth can afford that. SCR / PSR has scuppered even the cartel clubs from blowing that kind of money on a single player.

Real Madrid haven't spent big money on a player for a while preferring tapping players up to leave on free contracts to avoid the need to spend big on transfers.

They could do it. I just don't think they have the appetite.

Earlier in the season when his kid was born, he was ill and not sleeping, there was all the talk of going back to Italy. Not gonna happen Juve are peasants financially.

There appears to be a realisation with the player that too expensive for Italy and that he's committed himself to the club.

What I've heard is that this report about agents comments has been butchered from the reality of what he actually said. As usual it was edited to disrespect NUFC.

The Agent is a prick no doubt sniffing a pay day, however, NUFC control the situation. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it. Don't give the Maricon oxygen.

Furthermore, Sandro has made comments publicly that he wants to be elevated to the leadership group next season, doesn't sound like a man that wants to leave.

That said, if he does then it's gotta be for the money NUFC want. The club should go bring Anderson back at the start of the window if Tonali does say he wants to go, then the club can hold out for all the money and park Sandro like the rat during Pre-Season however, we'll have the replacement in ahead of the drama.

Aye, the headline is deliberately misleading but there's also a truth in it.

If he goes, we'll get big money for him but we need to work out a way to keep our big players so that we can actually make a more consistent and sustained effort at the top 4.

And that 'way' is not by having shit recruitment-or holding on to players who want to go-and panic buying or reacting to events that happen to us. It's by better planning and smarter buying.

It is likely he moves to another PL club one day. This will be the way until our revenue grows substantially or PSR is scrapped/ heavily reformed to be fair to all clubs.
We shouldnt tear our hair out over it anyway. No player is bigger than the club and our performance yesterday was excellent without him, Bruno or Joelinton (for most of the game).
What we should be doing is finding new talent abroad (like Brighton do) to feed into the squad. This is the part of the clubs operation which has fallen behind and needs to step up to the plate now.
