Yorkie Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Don't see how it's £55m down the drain if he's banned for a year. It's hardly the end of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Transfers are always a risk. Can't get them all right. We ended up with Isak because Ekitike fell through. Just got to roll with the punches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if members of the opposition had agreed to throw the game? He would be aware of this. Again, it isn’t that this has happened - it is that the player opens themselves up to the being a potential outcome. It is absolutely fucking moronic. It quite clearly is though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadly agree with the rest of your post I know where you’re coming from - but I was relating it directly to the rest of the post; it is just as bad if you know the opposition will lose. And Milan do have extensive previous in that regard - I can think of three separate occasions in the past when they’ve been done for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hopefully it’s just this season he misses. In Jan we can bring in a DM on loan, and with Longstaff being one of the best midfielders in the league, we’ll be golden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 At first he disgraced us with his little teeth, then it was his disgusting displays on the pitch and now this. Ban him for life. I can’t stand him, he’s bang out of order and an evil, evil idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though it is damaging to our season and could potentially cost the club a lot more than the equivalent of one fifth of that transfer fee.

Which is why betting on football matches is banned for professional players. I’d point to Milan - Brescia in the 92/93 season as an example of this.

Could be up to three years. Not allowed to even train with the team if Toney is anything to go by. I’d like to see how well a player performs after being out for a couple of years, especially one who’s ruined his own career and admits to having a tendency for self destructive addictive behaviour. It’s a massive blow this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
