Sleeping with his teammates partner, now being spoke to the police for betting. Well he slept with (and dated) her before she got with his teammate. Do you expect him to be a virgin? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2023 A search for “Zaniolo loan clause” comes back with the suggestion a mandatory purchase would take place if he plays 30 times for us. Absolutely no idea if that is correct. It’s the only criteria I’ve found. Plenty of “conditional compulsory purchase option” type references but not many suggestions as to what it would be. Zaniolo has played 9 times for us so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Allegedly he bet on a Coppa Italia game that Roma played but doesn't say if he played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I’m indifferent on whether he’s shit. We’ve bought bad players for a lot of money before and I’m confident we will again. I kinda accept it’s part and parcel of the game. That being said I am quite keen for us to only sign players who are legally allowed to play football. That’s an area of the market where I want us to focus our attention on ideally. Hopefully Zaniolo can be one such player. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 There's plenty of precedent here. He won't get banned for years unless there's absolutely rocket-fuel evidence - particularly in Italy. He'll finish the season with Villa I'd expect.

VillaChris Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Do prem have any power to punish or does it go back to Italy? Think Trippier was banned from playing for England while he was playing in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartyn88 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Here we gooooo Nicolo’s having a bet. In all seriousness though if true I’d rather we terminate the loan since he’d likely be banned anyway. I really like him as a player and would be gutted if this happened but we have to think about what kind of club and team we want to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) I’m sure earlier today some word removed said they had a good feeling about him and thought he could potentially be better than Buendia in a few months Edited October 13, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Wow. I guess we've seen the last of Zaniolo in a Villa shirt. January can't come soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediately have made up your own narrative he was now match fixing. I have no idea whether he’s guilty or not but presumably the reason that footballers betting on their own team is such a scandal is because they then have a vested interested in the outcome of the match and incidents within it that have no sporting motivation so could be akin to match fixing. Villa just need to protect themselves at this point. I think we will see him feature some more over the first half of the season as we are so hit by injuries but if we do hit a compulsory buy clause after he features a certain number of times, it would make sense to stay clear of that until more is known about these allegations.
