Rumours this evening
If it was just a 6 month ban then you have to wonder if it was worth taking the hit for 6 months. He would easily start for us.
Arguably [actually not] our most effective winger in the club by a distant. Going to a club fighting for relegation [alongside us]. It beggars the question, if Derby are prepared to take him why aren't City prepared to give him a second chance.
If it has been a 6 month ban for recreational drug use then it would be a second "offence", i.e. we have previously been paying him while serving a 3 month first "offence" ban. Seems quite right to cancel his contract in those circumstances not least as it implies that there is significant likelihood of it happening again.
He blew hot and cold too much for my liking. Brilliant in one game, anonymous in the next.
I wouldn't have chucked him out permanently because he was an excellent player ,which is what counts, but I remember he was previously chucked out of another club ( one of the midlands clubs ? ) for unspecified bad behaviour so who knows how difficult he actually is.
Why all the love for NML? He's OK. But his game is limited. And he wasn't an automatic selection.
You’ve got to have rules in the workplace and you’d like to think that these rules apply equally to every employee across the board. Unfortunately in football some very talented but wayward players have pushed the one rule for me and another for the rest situation way too far, the clubs have turned a blind eye because he’s one of their best players. As fans I s’pose we want our stars in the side regardless but it must test the morale and tempers of the rest of the playing staff seeing one f*cker getting away with it regularly.
You have absolutely no idea what he did and really it is nothing to do with anyone other than the club and player. It must have been something very serious otherwise the club wouldn't have cancelled his registration. If it was a trivial matter the player would have been happy to release details but he hasn't.
Burgstaller, Guerra, Cala, Kim Bo-Kyung, Magnus Wolff Eikrem, Lex Immers, Macheda and Dikgacoi all had their contracts mutually terminated despite being worth "hundreds of thousands of pounds".
Are you saying that Cardiff City aren't "professional"?! Shame on you! You're always slagging off the club!
Now being linked with Boro to team up again with Warnock.
Did we ever find out why he was sacked?
I heard that he was helping his brothers business activities
I believe it was something to do with the laundry business in that what went in dirty was washed by a rich footballer and came out clean on the other side.
So whilst he wasn't involved with taking anything and isn't the primary offender - it would have had an affect on his employment status
I cannot believe for a moment he will not end up with Warnock as soon as he legally can
Kick and chase merchant.
Brilliant when has the space. One of the worst when he doesn’t

Its probably bollocks
But not as much bollocks as us sacking a player without giving us a reason why - who scored 2 goals at Man Utd, who was an integral part of our promotion team and we've not got a penny for him
Now that is real bollocks - did he make a pass at Tans mother FFS - why sack him and let Warnock have him for nothing - it just doesn't make sense
If NML did nothing wrong, he'd have been signed by someone else months ago. I'd say given it's nearly 6 months since his sacking, it's almost certainly a drugs ban that they don't have to/can't disclose.
