Nah, you can look up the number of Italian vip he extorted/tried to extort money from and the number of years of prison he was sentenced to, he’s also Italy’s biggest paparazzi probably

[–] Pleasant_Skill2956@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Zaniolo is 100% juventus fan. With Inter and Roma he only played

[–] Timely_Airline_7168@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even if I supported Liverpool as a child, do you think I'd turn down the chance to play for Everton or Man U? That's just unrealistic expectations.

[–] larsmaehlum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ole grew up a Liverpool fan, but became a United legend. Not exactly uncommon.

[–] ro-row@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

it's almost like footballers basically never give a shit about playing for the team they supported when young

[–] Petembo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good good ban every possible Newcastle player

[–] jbas1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s a total piece of shit and likes his own voice too much, but he’s often right

[–] Petembo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Did I say that lmao such a stupid comment. But yeah if you made me choose between a cat kicker or billionaire who executes journalists etc. I'd much rather have the cat kicker.

“..why he say fuck me for?”

[–] zts105@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Newcastle and Sunderland vs Inter and A.C Milan war!

[–] etclipse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ahhhhh the international break

[–] grishaoniani@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is what game is all about

[–] Carlcerruz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unbelievable if true. We dodged a bullet

[–] Sandalo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fabrizio Corona on r/soccer: the weirdest timeline ever

The guy is basically an evil Fabrizio Romano, a blackmailer who went on jail many times. But he still has some connections, he was the first to report Fagioli's gambling problems

[–] IWantThe8th@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tonali?? We sold this dude who risks to not play again for 70m, Furlani has done it again!!!

[–] DeathStar13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you call Milan as AC which is the sport designation instead of Milan which is the club name do you also call your team FC instead of Barcelona?

[–] RoyalMobile3996@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You have to prove in court that the other team knew that, if they aren't Morons they could have hidden this under the rug and sold him at the first offer.

[–] xScottieHD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Braindead take aside. Why the fuck would an investigation on bets placed before he played for us be held against Newcastle fans? Not a braincell evident on this sub whenever anything remotely resembling us is mentioned.

[–] lssie_hyoudou@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Roma never wanted to sell him. He forced his move. And because of that roma never got a replacement and were a forward short for the rest of the season

[–] younes1008@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How to show you don't know shit about fuck in one sentence.

[–] larsmaehlum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Ok-Elk563@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Court ?

Saudi leadership would be like: you brought a knife in a gun fight

"Sent a team of Hitman"

[–] sheikh_n_bake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We wouldn't be able to afford a good legal team.

[–] Humble-End-7891@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly football is he hardest sport in world to fix. There's 22 players as starters, bench players, there's the managers, referees. So so many variables. And even then it takes a perfect act, which lower tier players can hardly pull off, and top players have hardly any benefit in doing so.

In my opinion it's more of an addiction, rather than many players corrupting the game

[–] Competitive-Aide5364@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I could see zaniolo being an absolute menace while gambling

[–] Sandalo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean they definitely want to have good relationships with PIF

[–] Petembo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder how illegal it would be to sell your player if you knew he had done crimes that would lead for him to be banned. But I love that cos it's happening to Saudi sport washing club.

[–] RoyalMobile3996@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Pleasant_Skill2956@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, he usually uses secrets to blackmail and get paid not to share them. But secrets are almost always true

[–] Humble-End-7891@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The irony is that betting sponsors are everywhere in football the shirt, the stadium, there's even dozen leagues with the betting sponsor on their name like Serie Bwin, Serbian league etc. If it was such a big issue why get the money from it

[–] MattiaKa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

0 chances of Tonali being suspended in premier league, Saudi Arabia will just make few phone calls and it's sorted.

[–] AlucardRed@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Really? Didn't know that. In Italy is more lenient, they can't just bet on football. Depends in which country the bets were placed, I guess

[–] jbas1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He means the city

[–] caiusto@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that's usually true but if these new players get suspended and fail to develop properly the NT may take a big hit with the available players.

But I'm obviously being overly dramatic, even if all this ends up being true there's still a bunch of players both experienced and young. My fear is if this is a widespread problem with the young generation.

[–] Keskekun@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

All you can see is Salibas hand don't worry.

[–] xScottieHD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I can only presume you're trolling or downright ignorant here. Applying pressure to allow the sale to go through which was in turn also being blocked because of pressure from other governments opposed to it is very different to applying different standards when it comes to sporting matters and/or investigations into individuals of which concerns before they were a player for the club in question. That is the very essence of being conspiratorial and proving my point.

[–] Fricobango69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

we lost 4 mil too, but well well well, how the turntables..

[–] Twisted_Cosmos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

lmao this killed me

[–] Keskekun@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The precedent is that shortest suspension if found guilty is 5 months (Toffolo) and 8 months (Ivan Toney). If they get caught up in this as badly as it seems a minimum of 12 month suspension would not be a surprise.

[–] NobodyRules@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Very good point

[–] Humble-End-7891@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The crazier the shit, or the lower the tier, the smaller the market cap and easier to spot

[–] NobodyRules@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Very good point

[–] Love_shemale_dicks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Holy shit I've forgot that story. It's fucking insane. I also remember Saliba filming his teammate who is rubbing one off in the locker room in front of everyone. I don't know what tf is going on with french youth players.

[–] juve_merda@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

1982, 2006, a scandal happening is the best thing for us

[–] beastmaster11@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sure but Lazio is probably going to pay you more than Frosinone with a better chance of playing in champions league.

I'll be the first to admit that if Juve were paying me Vlahovic money and Inter were not interested, I wouldn't say no (obviously if both were interested I beleive I'd take a paycut to join inter over juve)

[–] Pleasant_Skill2956@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In Italy the teams are called "Inter and Milan", usually it is the non-Italians who say "Ac Milan and Inter Milan"

[–] Rickcampbell98@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm glad it's just a loan......let's hope we aren't triggering ant clauses brev

[–] football-cfc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I usually ask myself why this players involved themselves in betting when they literally collect salary that can feed the next generation

[–] tml25@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is famously a juve fan

[–] Fricobango69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

actually he did enough damage that we took a couple of bullets, but at least those bullets are not lethal and he is no longer our problem
