Sandro Tonali

Selfish prick. Humans have no limits to how greedy they can be, Christ.

Long liberating cry? This whole thing is so odd. He’s clearly not crying or if is, it’s because he’s terrified of the potential to be banned from football. He’s clearly done something illegal from Italy’s perspective but if it’s not football related then surely it’ll be a fine and that’s it, no? No idea what their jurisdiction is

Recent reports in Italy are saying he bet on football (including on his own team).

Fuck, well that explains his response then. Hmm, if he’s bet on his own team then he needs to serve a solid ban

Up to 3 years in Italy depending on the severity supposedly.

Maybe instead of banning footballers from gambling they could set up clear and transparent ways they can bet. Given that there's apparently 50 (that they know of) shoving it underground doesn't seem to be working 

 

If he's bet on things which have influenced his own game then it's indefensible like.

Maybe Milan knew about this all along and that's why they had no problem letting him go. 

Unlikely, as they’d be duty bound to report it, and if it turns out they did know and didn’t say anything, I’d imagine there’d be serious ramifications.

Not concerned January around the corner and next one on the list after Tonali was McTominay apparently.

It’s Elliot Anderson. He’s the boy. The boy wonder. He’s the replacement. 
 

Money will be spent big on Rafa Leao and Khwjnahjwnjisjkanishvski from Napoli.

Insurance claim to cover our losses and take Milan to the cleaners if they knew about this.

 

Regardless starting to look like a real flawed personality here and not one of our better deals.

 

Have may Italians apart from Zola, Di Matteo ever been a success in this country.

If they give us Leao I’m happy to let the whole thing go

Wonder if we can go Barella in January

A 3 year minimum ban I've just read from the mag ?

Maximum, not minimum 

[Coffee_Johnny]

Always prefer to cross bridges when I/we come to them, but presume having a player unavailable in such circumstances does not get taken into account FFP wise?

Looking carefully at the wording, it seems that Tonali 'may have' bet on football, and there are 'suspicions' that this may have included his own team.

Wasn't the 3-year maximum just when it was non-football betting?

Not sure to be honest, I’ve read three year max a few times but when I heard it, it was before the betting claims were clearer

If it's true he needs to serve his ban and then ditched asap as you don't want that type of character at the club. Again if it's true

I’d imagine if it is true we would look to terminate his contract. (Assuming he was given a really lengthy ban).

[gbandit]

Anyone know the legal side of it? Do footballers have clauses built into contracts where if they commit illegal betting it can be classed as gross misconduct? Would be a disaster either way as I’m sure we can’t recoup the Milan fee unless they knew about it

Apparently villa have terminated Zaniolos loan

Surely anything they do outside of football that stops them being able to play for the club is grounds to terminate the contract ?

Curious about this too, but suspect we are in uncharted territory - IF - what is being reported is true. Chelsea taking legal action against Adrian Mutu for the unamortised portion of his transfer fee is the only precedent I can think of.
