I met an ex-Juventus player last night and got the gossip AMA

Having a smoke with some Arsenal mates in Sketch, complaining loudly about Szczesny these Italian fellas look up and one about my age (22) says, ''I played with Buffon''. We call him out and he produces the photos on his phone, it's this guy:

We picked this geezer's brains for an hour mate and heres the gossip:

-He is very good mates with Lichtsteiner and assures me that he earns 1.5m euros a year and was desperate for a move to a top London club, but no takers.
-Buffon and Pirlo are the two genuinely nicest people hes met in football
-Conte was running this gk distribution exercise, Pirlo told him in the dressing room to keep giving it to him. Pirlo would move around the pitch and return my man's kick outs back to hand with flicks. Conte was furious but couldnt handle the situation. Pirlo just laughed,.
-Conte was a terrible manager who the players hated
-Corruption in Italian football is total

AMA

No questions? Here's a pic of a beautiful redhead who make's your heart melt innit :wink:

Thinks he is genuinely terrible. Generally thought the standard of PL goalkeeping is poor.

Pirlo vs Hart came up :laugh:

Would be a truly bizarre thing to make up. No contacts at all, just met a guy with some interesting stories

Lol Never really been sure what to make of him to be honest. Inconsistent, but hes still young. Although if a pro keeper thinks hes terrible he probably is.

Does he rate Hart?

What keeper/keepers did he think were the best in the premier league and in Europe

''Ingelessseee goal keeper are not so good'' ''You have many problems eh, but always goalkeeper!''

When I explained that Joe Hart does shampoo adverts him and his mates genuinely went into hysterics

In the lower leagues he says it's as common as night following day. He said the owners organise it, you have 'retreats' in the mountains where it is discussed with 'trusted players'. Only Italians, and the owners sound you out first. Cash stuffed in your letterbox after.

The big issue is North vs South apparently, no trust at all.
