(I don’t believe this but it does seem weird to me too) Really not that crazy a theory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Unless Milan had some sort of Michael Clayton type character keeping tabs on all the players extra curricular activities, I just can’t see how Milan would have known. Gamblers are mostly very sly about covering their tracks. Now Milan being extremely apologetic over what happened, yes I can believe that and I can also believe they think they owe us the conversation to be respectful in any future discussions. We might have had some sort of legal recourse to claim compensation that we didn’t take the option on.. so yes, maybe they owe us one.. and yes maybe they are willing to entertain enquiries about players they don’t really want to sell and maybe they’ll be more fair with regards to a transfer fee, but that doesn’t come close to fraud.

Just on this, the stories that came out at the time mentioned that he gambled quite openly around his team mates and even showed a couple of them an anonymous gambling website. I think there was one Italian player (can’t remember which) who snitched on Tonali being a bit of instigator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onus is on the club to make sure they look into the players history more thoroughly. If Leao, Theo Hernandez or Tomori decide they want to come to Newcastle, you really think it makes sense to not bother because of the Tonali deal? Would make no sense.

Demand he hand over all phones etc for a forensic search ny an expert and then you'd have to believe he was being truthful, which for an issue like that he probably wouldn't be. I'd guess it would be so easy to hide something like that and it only comes out when somebody grasses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Thiaw was really good the season before but he’s looked very shaky since his return from injury. Great timing to try and get him when his stock is so low; still young and has all the attributes to grow into a quality PL centre-back imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
