Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has claimed that Newcastle United deserved to feel a degree of hurt after getting it wrong with the summer transfer window signing of Sandro Tonali.
The Italy international joined Newcastle from AC Milan over the summer but played just eight Premier League games for the club before receiving a lengthy ban from playing, related to a gambling addiction.
Speaking in the video clip below, Carragher made it clear he had an issue with the idea of Newcastle now being able to replace Tonali with a loan signing like Ruben Neves this January, as they deserve to be punished for failing to do their due diligence on the player properly…
Newcastle will certainly feel they could have perhaps done more to find out about issues in Tonali’s private life, but at the same time it is surely reasonable for Eddie Howe to feel he now needs to strengthen his midfield.
The Magpies will perhaps argue that Tonali could just as easily have picked up a serious injury that might also have kept him out, and in that situation there would be a bit more sympathy if they were to sign someone as cover.
Carragher shut your cakehole if every football team looked into the private lives of every football player there would never be any football matches AC Milan should have been upfront about Tonali plus Tonali has been heavily fined and penalised why should Newcastle united be fined or whatever your a hazbean ex footballer keep your gob shut!!!
Hadn’t thought that through has he.
Meaning that some authority will have to check every clubs loan signings, to ensure they are not replacing a player who has some personal problems
Clever pundit he is!!!!!!!! Not.
