Trashy Italian media Zaniolo can register with a maximum of 3 clubs in one season. If we cancel the loan and he goes back to Galatasaray then I'm not sure if that counts as the third or not, as he was previously registered with them this season. If it doesn't count then he would be free to join Fiorentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that a player can be registered for 3 teams but can't play for more than 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hoping the Duran injury (out for a few weeks) and/or noise allows Nico to step up and shine… maybe he gets the kind of opportunity I have been banging on about… is he ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hmm… that tweet lacks any form of context… it’s a snippet from an interview and related to the “betting scandal”… https://www.yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/zaniolo_opens_up_on_his_involvement_in_betting_scandal/s1_17290_39866021 Quote “I feel better, but that was already the case after the meeting with the prosecutor, who attested that was I was saying was true. Even if it went well, I can’t say anything about the inquiry. It’s important for me that it’s over now. It’s bad to be dragged into something like that without having done anything serious. Seeing the police in Coverciano was a nightmare. I wasn’t scared because I knew what I did, or rather didn’t.” So this actually what he said: Quote “I was using an online casino. I still made a mistake, but I didn’t know it was an illegal site. The life of a footballer has two sides. I’m aware we’re wealthy and can afford things most people can’t, but we’re often forced to be alone. Many people approach us only because we’re famous. We’re always in the spotlight. Everybody knows it when we make something silly, so we prefer just staying at home, and you can stumble into something like that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Duran’s temporary unavailability, whether it’s because of injury or something else, could be kind of a “blessing in disguise” for Nicolo and a chance to really impress in a preferred and more suitable position for him… I see him as the better option anyway… he needs to be given the opportunity, first of all, but then he needs to grasp it and make the most of if it now… I would thoroughly enjoy it if he does… time to shine… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to see him in a starting role tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 Seriously think we should give him a run. Tell him he's starting the next 5 games no matter what. Hard for him to really impact with his lack of minutes. And it's not like anyone else is playing outstanding at the moment. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - the body language was very positive when he was coming on, like he's settled down now and feeling more comfortable. It's the perfect time for him to come into form.

Anything11 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Still can't work out how he fits in. I think he needs to be receiving the ball closer to goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I start him over Moussa on the right/ss to see how he gets on, Moussa can coke on later and work himself back no not form. He looked really good on the right in his short cameo. Then again we've also got Leon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 All this stick Rogers is getting before even signing... There needs to be more expectation placed on Zaniolo for second half of the season. He had an o.k start, then got caught up in the betting allegations and since then he's been a bit of a disappointment. Just one prem goal is nowhere near enough for the minutes he's been on the pitch so I'm expecting far more from him for the run in, starting on Tuesday. We're not talking about some 19 year old kid unproven at the top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
