Oh my.
Oh my goodness. Normally I hate when gangs cover faces with goodies, caps, bananas etc. However in this case, to protect all bur 1 of their identities it is a blessing for them.
Ant and Dec should invite him to BGT
I saw that and got the same vibe. It does look like he was pushed out of AC.
I thought the same thing. They released a video of him having a kick around with a little ginger kid and he looked like he just wanted it to be over. Most random video ever

Surely he could simply say no to moving if he didn't want to go. This isn't like the NBA or NFL where a player can just be moved.
yeah that was part of it, the video I saw was his walk around/introduction to the training ground and facilities etc on newcastles YouTube channel. It was just weird and awkward to watch him look so disinterested his GF/wife was the one that was more into it all.I thought the same thing.

when a silly offer comes in it’s hard for a club to turn it down I think footballers just accept that as reality. He may very well settle in Newcastle but I just think he's going to be wanting to go back to Italy sooner rather than later.
All great musical movements start with one brave pioneer unafraid to do something different, brave enough to put their head above the parapet and say, ‘enough of the old way’, ‘this is the new sound’, ‘this is the way forward’.
This highlights how hard it'll be to get players to re-locate to the North East of England. I'm from the North East and previously lived and worked in Newcastle. It's a great City but nothing like London or even Manchester.
Nah, he’s a sturdy lad by all accounts. Lots of the UK based Italian-focused journos have been raving about him. Solid little shit with bags of talent.
this Is true. Newcastle is so far away from anything and less desirable than other cities. They also don’t really have many trophies in their history, so to go from AC Milan with its history and heritage, the class and stadium to Newcastle now owned by Saudi, is a big drop off imo. Isn’t he a huge AC Milan fan? He doesn’t speak English either I don’t think? That won’t help him. He might take to it and love it there, there are worse places to play football after all. They do have a good fanbase. A decent stadium and lots of money. It could go either way I guess.
Remains to be seen doesn't it. Premier League is much more intense than Serie A and Newcastle is a world away from Milan.
This is only my opinion, but a major issue is how mad passionate a lot of the fans are. If you're a top player living in London you can go shopping or to a restaurant with your family and nobody bothers you. You can be fairly anonymous. You just can't do that in Newcastle. It's a goldfish bowl, and if you live outside the city there is nothing to do unless you like to golf.
If he didn't want Newcastle then he wouldn't have signed the contract. Club accepts bid but player has to agree and sign for the deal to happen
You actually think he Wanted to move to Newcastle? another case of money talks, he’s doubled his wages from what he was on at Milan, we also paid Di Maria more than he was on at Real Madrid.
if he hated the move so much, why did he sign the contract, did Italian mafia points guns at him to force him sign ?
This was brilliant.

you obviously can’t read properly, he’s getting over double what he was on at Milan. If you’re on 100k a week then a club cones along offering you 225k a week you aren’t going to turn it down.
Then he better learn to suck it up since the money is too good for him to turn it down. Be professional and dont turn into another Di Maria.
Because you want to go.
This is one of the best ones, always makes me laugh.
