Jamie Carragher has weighed in on Newcastle United's summer signing of Sandro Tonali, asserting that the club deserves to face consequences for the misstep.
The Italian, who arrived from AC Milan, played only eight Premier League games before being handed a lengthy ban due to gambling-related issues.
In a video below, the Liverpool legend expressed his dissatisfaction with the idea of the Magpies potentially replacing the 23-year-old with a loan signing like Ruben Neves in the January transfer window.
Carragher believes that Newcastle should face repercussions for not thoroughly researching Tonali's background. While acknowledging that Eddie Howe's team may argue they couldn't have foreseen the Italy international's off-field challenges, the pudnit contends that the club should be held accountable for the oversight.
The Magpies might argue that the midfielder could have suffered a serious injury, but the former defender maintains that proper due diligence should have been conducted.
