Milan for sure know this gonna happen 😂
The Italians just can’t catch a break from the players to the national team.
Damn that’s really bad
It’s wild to now read a bunch of “He was never that good anyway” after all the drama/hype when the transfer got confirmed this summer.
He may not be a world class player but he’s still a very good midfielder. Is it just because he didn’t live up to the insane hype he got when he was a teenager?
Pretty sure he was anointed as signing of the window after his debut vs Villa… feels a long time ago, now
No wonder he rarely smiles or laughs
Unpopular opinion (maybe?): there is nothing unethical about betting your own team to win outright. Playing a spread or for a draw or any other prop bet you can influence is unethical, but betting on yourself to do your job doesn’t seem the same.
I know it’s illegal and immoral because of that, but is there anything inherently immoral about betting that your club will WIN? I mean, if he bet on loosing, ties, yellow cards, minutes where the goal is scored, etc. But winning? That’s basically what he’s paid to do.
If he has a higher financial incentive on a specific game, he may take a tactical red card that he otherwise wouldn’t have for one example
I know the issues with managers betting on their teams to win is that they may use players up to get a win, that they otherwise wouldn’t have, at the cost of future games.
But I’m struggling to see where a player might have an issue.
The comments 🙄 mute r/soccer
Palpatine rubs his hands “good…goooooood”
What a pillock.
Makes sense that he he went to newcastle …bigger pay =cover debts and more money to gamble
Uh oh, holy shit.
This reminds me of the Adrian Mutu situation with Chelsea. It’ll be interesting to see what Newcastle does with him/his contract.
Let’s stop all players betting, also remove all betting companies from sponsoring any sort of football.
dodged a bullet there, I bitched and cried about the sale so much
