On Tonali I don't think he really settled up here and he's on about half as much again at Spurs which will keep him happy and living in London will soften the blow for his Mrs. She is a model and owns a clothing brand so maybe she wants to get back to Milan as well. He was interviewed at the airport on the way for his medical and yet again he stated he wants to go back to Italy and he hasn't kicked a ball yet. Be interesting to see how he gets on next season, for us he was banned for the first one, played brilliantly in the second but his form dropped off last season. He had the chance to really shine when Bruno was injured, he didn't take it. For £100m (£40m profit) selling him was a no brainer.
On all the rumours about other players I prefer to wait and see what happens.
We are on the same page when it comes to the OH's
They can exert a lot of influence
Supposedly 275k a week at Spurs so just under 100k uplift
This will easily cover the cost of PJs for her to Milan & the journey time is shorter
London more up there in the fashion world not at Milan levels however not geordie where burds skimpy dresses are as short as a wide belt
The move to Spurs a compromise with his missus
I hope her clothing brand does better than "Posh Spice is a slapper she wears a big fat jewel when she's shagging David Beckham she thinks of Harry Kewell"
Or he might need the extra folding to prop her business up
The profit will be more than the 40 mill you indicate
Signed in 2023 for around £55m & assuming a 5 year contract this will be amortised to around £22m [3 yrs * £11m p.a.]
Its more like just under £80mill book profit
A no brainer indeed
TBF Tonali did take a big wage cut when he was banned
