What people are forgetting is that even if it was a 6 month ban, at the time no one knew whether this season was going to start or not. So potentially we could have been paying him for longer than 6 months , with no football and then have a player who was a free agent. imo beside the moral decision, economically it was a no brainer as we were never gonna a get anything for him anyway.
Mendez-Laing has been released by Middlesbrough, but Warnock has invited him to their pre-season training.
Although he is only 29 there has to be a bit of suspicion he is perhaps past his best and the long lay off from football won't help. Might have to drop down to league one.
Or they don't want to pay him for the summer, and will offer something to him at the start of the season if he hasn't gone elsewhere. I imagine a lot of this sort of thing will happen this summer. Why sign up someone now and pay him thousands of pounds per week during the summer break?
Sad waste of talent
