The guy oozes class and commands the respect of the team. If Bruno went, Tonali can step up. If Bruno stays Tonali for vice captain? Sandro loves the Toon and will only get better. that’s great news for us.
Not sure THE captain matters much. You need captains/leaders everywhere to win. I think its possibly why Spurs and Man U are struggling, whereas Liverpool, Arsenal and City clean up. I think it's something Howe buys into as well - hence the reliance on players like Burn. Anyway, I think to your point Tonali is in the conversation of best CM in Europe. He's deceptively fast, incredible engine, his brain moves even faster than his feet and he just drives the team forward.
Fully agree. Was it CC who started making noises that he was a mistake of a signing a month or two ago? CC, thought you had midfield talent expertise or something?
Sorry if this isn't you - I always assumed it was... Anyway, before he got suspended: And, showing consistency ( ), just over 7 weeks ago:
I don't think any of that was untrue at the time and considering what unfolded. The use of the words so far are key to any escape.
Sandro Tonali Give it to me Delicious football Of Italy And when he's on the ball Sandro Tonali Will win them all
