Sandro Tonali

[STM]

He was quickly losing his place to Willock or Joelinton anyway IMO. From a footballing perspective, it's not the massive blow that it might have been. We also get a January window to add a player if needs be.

 

Let's hope he gets the best support possible and somehow remains around the club.

 

Is he still allowed to train (ways around that I'm sure), is he allowed to be in the ground and around the place etc? I'd like to see him at every home game, that would be a good starting point.

It depends what he’s preaching though. Does he say gambling and betting should be banned? Or that he has a gambling problem and doesn’t bet and recommends those that need help get it?

 

Im genuinely not sure what his stance is. For example I’m a recovering alcoholic. But I don’t want drinking banned. I also wouldn’t have any problem working for companies that profit or promote alcohol. 
 

If hes saying betting and sports betting should be banned or the advertising then yeah thats hypocritical 

 

Being an alcoholic isn't illegal though. Sports betting in your own league is, and that's why he'll get the book thrown at him.

Sorry @FLUMPO235 I had just skimmed the thread and hadn't realised I was making the exact same point you had  

[catlover24]

On hindsight I’m glad he got that goal vs Villa, at least we are left with something to look forward to.

Yes, blew the deposit for him and his partners house that he’d earned on sky sports! 

 

He fronted a good documentary about the gambling industry and addiction. He met families of people who committed suicide after losing their last pennies etc.

 

I didn't have a problem or anything with gambling up to that point, but it (along with people in my own life) made me completely stop participating in such an awful industry.

What’s that got to do with Paul merson working for sky sports?

Must be some crossed wires somewhere?!

I get the feeling two different conversations have crossed paths here.

Well I have no problem with Merson working with Sky Sports other than he's shit.

 

Getting away from his lack of credibility as a tv pundit though, there is a difference between alcohol addiction and gambling addiction (in this particular case) as it's illegal. Being an alcoholic isn't.

I think so.

[Scotty66]

Not sure if his info is legit but sounds quite interesting.

 

 

[NWMag]

If he does get a ban, which feels inevitable now, we need to make the most of it. Make sure his English is brilliant for when he returns, make sure he watches hours and hours of footage to familiarise himself with our style. Then when he returns he will be raring to go

Don’t know about anyone else but I trust BigDickBotman.

He was told to get back onto the pitch by  Eddie / spray tan for an ovation. Not his fault that one.

And yet here you are belittling him by getting his name wrong. Disgusting tbh.

[David Edgar]

Will the length of the ban be announced before the ban ends? 

[Beth]

So if he gets a years ban will he still pick up his £6m a year wage?

[magvicar]

It'll be interesting to see if AC Milan knew about all this with Tonali.

When I look back I do remember all kinds of rumours he didn't want to go from Milan but they did seem keen to offload him.

Obviously it's just all speculation by me....but.

 

If we lose him for the season we can take it on the chin but if he gets a 3 year ban then it's game over.

Will Newcastle be left well out of pocket?

 

I'd like to think we won't be.

 

I'll wait and see what comes out in the wash and decide as to what I might think of Tonali.

[TBG]

Anyone got the clip of him scoring against Villa? 

 

Bang to rights if he had himself down as first goal scorer, any time goal scorer, shot on target and or shot on goal.

Hope not. He really shouldnt.

[magvicar]

I think there will be a drastic change in any contracts from this point on for any player sighing for a club.

Loads of things like this covered and a whole lot more, most likely.
