    Has he even been good? Seen him a bit this season and he only looked good on his debut and against Sheffield United when everyone was good because you smashed them

    Betting his own team to win may not sound too shady. Betting his team to lose would be a crime. Zaniolo isn’t known to be a smart guy, so the worst can’t be ruled out.

      Genuinely think players should be allowed to bet on their team winning (as long as there is no spread). It could create some amazing performances. I also imagine Romero betting absurd amounts on Tottenham.

        Fking no lol then we would get far greater attempts to influence the result. Players are one degree of separation from on the pitch refs while all other bettors are realistically two or more away.

    When Zaniolo was trying to force his move away from Roma, I didn’t harbor the same hatred toward him that others did at the time. What he was doing was shitty, but I at least understood that he is young and wants to get to a better team in a slightly better league (clearly Turkey was a temp solution). But with this news? My god this is stupid and idiotic. Glad he is far removed from Roma now.

    He’s not a 70m player I agree. But when Maguire goes for the same, it’s a justified price.

    Tonali plays like he’s depressed in NUFC.

    Considering we’ve smashed you so often with Tonali starting nearly everytime I guess I now see the motive.

    Tonali at Milan with the exception of his first season is a better midfielder than anyone you have. Yes, even this seasons Cristante
