Still no news about why he was sacked, but he’s posting a lot on Instagram with a 1v1 trainer.
He’s lost a fair bit of weight and is looking sharp, wonder if the door is still completely closed, I for one would love to have him back.

Probably now about half way through a six month suspension so a bit early to be considering him. He could be an option come January if the club are prepared to chance it that his problems have been dealt with.Quote:

If he plays again, it won't be for us. We don't know the details of what happened, but surely that's obvious?
I don’t think his contract got paid up just cancelled didn’t it?Quote:

If it was a failed drug test wouldn't the result and the punishment be public knowledge? All we know is that he was sacked for a breach of contract. I certainly haven't seen anything from the club, the PFA or the football authorities to say what that breach was.Quote:

Feels a lot like deja vu with this one as we are not much further along than when the announcement was first made to cancel his contract.
Ideally he may think that he has let the club down and try and make amends by coming back.
That's IF the club are willing.
The FA keep this very quiet as their focus is on getting players with a drug problem to undergo a proper rehab programme. Although they do occasionally report on the number of failed tests they never say who failed them. The names sometimes come out when players are ready to play again, Berahino being the best known one.Quote:

Didn't Berahino only get banned for 8 weeks? I wonder if the club would have sacked him for that.Quote:

The "issue" if this is the problem is did he get a 3 month ban (in which case he could be playing next month) or a longer ban as he had done it before!
I took a look and the only 1 on 1 training I could see was him holding a baby... he’s hardly been prolific with his posts... I’m not sure that 2 posts counts as a lot🤣Quote:

You actually know nothing about the reasons for what happened and are just assuming what it was.
Hope his legal team don't read this board, ruining his rep without any evidence at all. (allegedly)
Exactly, that was my point https://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.ph...=1#post5137235Quote:
