I've seen tonali outmuscle alot of players bigger than him. He has such a good mix of skills and I bet he develops in attack, because he is not able to do much with brescia. One of the few players worth the overpay.

I was going to say this. His ability to shield the ball with his body and make the extra pass was very bullish from what I saw. He’s definitely more physical than you guys are assuming, he’s not a pushover at all!

Tonali is built to be a stronger dude. His frame shows he can be a bully and a physical presence.

if we end up with a midfield trio of Brozovic, Barella and Tonali, we should forbid eriksen to even sprint in a game.

Those 3 can genuinely cover 2 football fields.

We won't play a 4-3-1-2 though so Eriksen will be sold or enjoy the matches from the bench.

With Tonali, Barella and Brozovic we can play 3-4-1-2, and Eriksen can play in the hole.

Do the logistics and you'll find that it's not possible to have all 4 with that formation.

Apologies, wrote that without being clear. Tonali/Brozovic/Barella can rotate for the two center spots in the line of 4, and have enough running to make up for Eriksen's apparent laziness, letting him sit inbetween midfield and the strikers.

Anyway, I could swear we saw a semblance of a 4-3-1-2 before the season stopped.

You actually did.

But the odds of using that formation are extremely low. If that's the only time Eriksen will be playing, then his odds of being an important player for us while Conte is around are low. And I'm not sure who will outlive whom, and Eriksen cannot afford the waiting game during his prime.

Di Marzio confirmed that Tonali is getting closer. Sandro seems to like idea of playing for Inter and Marotta has excellence relationships with Massimo Cellino, Brescia's owner.
Well, make it happen Beppe :datass:

But generally, it's really connected to Lautaro's departure. More Lauraro's Barca rumors = more Tonali's Inter rumors. I'm really curious who will be Lautaro's replacement here.

> If Marotta talks about someone like this, I expect to already have a deal in place :work: feelin` confident about Tonali.

CdS: Tonali 'open to Inter move'

Inter are reportedly working on a deal for Sandro Tonali after receiving ‘strong approval’ from the Brescia midfielder.

Inter face competition from Juventus for Tonali, but Corriere dello Sport claims Inter are ready to push through negotiations. As per the newspaper, the 20-year-old has intimated that he is open to joining the Nerazzurri.

With that in mind, the Beneamata would be preparing a package similar to the one they signed off for Nicolo Barella last summer. They committed to paying €50m for Barella but through a €12m loan with a €25m obligation to buy and €13m in bonuses. Brescia owner Massimo Cellino has a similar valuation in mind for Tonali, but the coronavirus pandemic could force him into accepting a lower price.

Of course it has to be lower. Covid lowers the prices and Cellino can't keep Tonali at Serie B where his team is heading.

I try to keep it low with expectations but it's hard. Just like my dick.

with these 2 coming it probably means that vecino, valero and gagliardini are not going to play for inter next season.

Vidal, Barella, Tonali, Brozović, Sensi and Eriksen...this is a proper midfield

Tonali, brozovic, Sensi, barella, that's a core midfield for the next 5 years. Add vidal and gagliardini or vecino and we should be set. Brilliant. Now please get starting level wing backs again.
