I don't understand the upset if Inter buys Tonali for those infamous 30mln. They're in a different situation than us. It became obvious we need reinforcement in midfield with Matuidi and Khedira getting old, Pjanic declining, Rabiot so far being a bidone, Ramsey injury prone.
And what you guys want us to do is to spend huge chunk of our budget on a 19yo after half a season in Serie A to replace former WC winners, players with hundreds of games at the highest level.
It just cannot go wrong.

Yes thats exactly what I want, because he is a top talent. That can become a top player. Its some risk to it, but why not? Thats how you get top players too, when they young.
Unless we are doing anything different that would make it ok for me in us not getting him, I'm not sure what we are applauding here? Lets not get the young top midfield talent, because our midfield approach of the last 5 years is working? Sell all your best peak top of the world midfielders, sign Pjanic as only top level mid, and fill the rest with mediocre freebies, its not enough, far from it. And until they do anything different there, thats whats being critiqued, they havent shown us anything else.
This not ancient history. As recent as last summer, thats exactly what they did, everyone said Rabiot and Ramsey arent improvement, just new questionable placeholders, previous summer bigger joke with Emre Can. Give them as much kudos as you like, but both Khedira and Matuidi were a step back considering what they were replacing.
So yeah, until I see them sign the De Ligt or the Dybala of the midfield, I find this approach for the midfield HIGHLY questionable. And its exactly what triggers fans here in their response to getting a top talent for midfield for just 30m. Because the midfield modus operandi has been so dire that fans are on edge, clinge to any possible avenue that could give us a kick start, like a top talent like Tonali could possibly do.
This shit has defenitely has gone too long, and they need to address it this summer big time. the important thing isnt who, but whoever it is, is capable of being a top player that can lift the midfield.
