Just found this on Twitter... Sandro Tonali in numbers (thread): https://twitter.com/Futball_Karim/status/13...6745441285?s=191.9 Key passes/game. (2nd best in Serie A for deep-midfielders) 0.9 Key passes/game from corners. (League best) 0.5 Key passes/game from freekicks (League best) 1.1 Key passes/game from long passes (League best) 7 Assists. (League best for deep-midfielder) 6.28 xA (Expected assists) (League best for deep-midfielder) 11 Big chances created (League best for deep-midfielder) Only Bennacer (54) made more interceptions than Tonali (39) for u23 midfielders in Serie A 3rd Most fouled midfielder in the league (Behind De Paul & Castrovilli) Best player at crossing in Europe at the age of 20 https://t.co/fj4ncIMXul3rd best dribble success in the league, only 1.9% behind Bennacer. https://t.co/n5Iox6hU6m

I am excited about Tonali. Inter had announced his signing months ago (big event in Piazza Duomo). Then Conte threw his temper tantrum and asked for established players, so Inter delayed closing the deal ... and Milan came in with an offer. Some Inter fans now claim that the guy is worthless, but many will admit they are bummed. Mancini considers him good enough to make the NT.
If we keep playing the 4-2-3-1, Tonali will fit in the double pivot, so he will start as a replacement for Benna/Kessie, or possibly as part of a rotation. That will give him a little time to adjust and develop. With the busy season and 5 subs, I believe he will see a lot of playing time. With a 50M clause, it is quite possible we may lose Benna next summer, by then Tonali will hopefully have developed well.
We also got a 2nd GK today, which is good because Donna #2 is completely useless.
We now need CBs (for depth) and upgrades to our right. Arguably we also need a "vice Ibra", but I am not convinced. Not clear if we are also going for one more player for the double pivot (Baka or someone else).

QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Sep 10 2020, 08:56 PM) Looks like the Silva - Rebic exchange is finalized. Silva is already official, Rebic is more complex as the Viola are still part owners. Yep, Silva official, Rebic to be announced in the coming hours We really shafted Fiorentina with this deal though... Puts a bit of a dent in my Chiesa dreams (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Btw Forza Milan! Congrats on becoming a grandfather!!
With regards to Paolo and the management in general, I'm honestly highly impressed with how they are going about their business.
I still think we need to work on sales so we can bring in better quality. Ideally we sign a CB, RB and RW as well this window. We'll see if we'll be able to manage it but some players have to go before we're able to sign more players. our roster is getting a bit too large atm

Perhaps we can sell Krunic and Calabria, maybe Paq. I think a CB is a must (even if we cannot sell anyone), RB and RW are highly desirable.
