They have sold Jesus and Zinchenko to Arsenal, Sterling and Palmer to Chelsea. Why would he stop a player who plays less than all of them for him from coming here ?

I’d be surprised if we pay him anywhere close to his full wages

Why ? It’s done nothing of the sort to West Ham or Brentford why would we be any different?

Depending on the length of the ban.

We may as well use him whilst we can.

There really is no defending betting on your own team when you are involved in the games. Absolutely idiotic, deserves whatever comes his way.

If this is true he’s lucky it’s only 12 months

Think we will be well with in our rights to not pay him, but it will come down to those at the club to decide the best course of action.

Don’t think it’s to much to ask for them not to take drugs mind.

The Milan home game in the champions league should be tasty.

Not sure the other guy bet on his own side, I thought it was just football in general for him.

If he has bet on his own team, he will be lucky to get just a year long ban.

December was mentioned in the Italian press the other day. Does seem to be moving much quicker than that though.

Issue is it would take a good few weeks and matches to get him up to scratch.

How ? It sounds like his own family didn’t even know.

How would anyone at the club be expected to know about this before we signed him though ?

No, it’s two separate things, I’m annoyed over what would be his fault at costing us 50 odd million by stupidly betting on his own side. No excuse for that imo.

So annoying if true and he gets a year ban. I’d be tempted to sack him tbh (obviously won’t happen considering the money we paid). I hope we at least don’t pay his wages whilst he is unavailable.

Mainly because he’s our most creative player and I think we will struggle to create chances without him.
