Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

[Plum]

If you can’t see the difference with Livermore then you’re clutching matey

Livermore tested positive for cocaine and was suspended for the rest of the season. His reasons for taking it were widely accepted. Nobody, afaik, was suggesting he should have been fired for moral reasons. And rightly so.
Zambrano tested positive for whatever it was, he's been suspended for 2 seasons, subject to appeal. He claims it was an innocent mistake, impossible to prove either way but he gets no benefit of the doubt. By saying it's morally wrong to have signed him is tantamount to firing him.
Is there really that much difference?

 

[Plum]

Probably, he was a bellend who disrupted training sessions on purpose to force through a move to West Brom according to Meyler.

Bin him off for being a **** maybe, but there's no moral side to it.

Can’t be any truth in this? Unless the focus and the saying has changed ‘You can never have too many midfielders’

It's a while since we've had a ginner in midfield.

Were they? I thought he got off extremely leniently.

He did, but I was just saying there was no moralistic judgement made, which is what this debate is about.

He was our player and we rightly supported him
Zambrano wasn’t
We did it knowing he was up on charges
That’s wrong imho

One thing you can’t moan at Acun is blowing money.

3 million on Matazo
2.5 on Joseph
3/4 million on Balloumi
1 million or so on Millar
Hughes 4/5?

certainly throwing it about.

Couldn’t work out if that was passed or failed his medical…until I saw the very French term at the end…’done deal’

And that's where we differ, and probably always will!
If we knew, absolutely and without any doubt, that he was guilty of deliberately taking performance enhancing drugs then you'd have a good case. But we didn't know that, we just took a bit of a flyer. Opportunistic, yes. Immoral, no. All imho of course!

“Done deal” is French for ACL

Yeah as much as he’s spunked a lot of money and as much as he’s made mistakes. You can’t knock him because every window he goes again

I just don’t know why a player would take performance enhancing drugs and then go to the authorities to let them know he’s taken them.

Where is this from?

Aye, it means he passed the medical and committed himself to City until June 2029.

It was a podcast with a Columbian reporter - who has connections/lived in Hull and follows the club.This was made when Zambrano first signed - I’ll see if I can find it.

In fairness a lot of is reinvesting the Jaden and Greaves money. Which he still deserves credit for as some would just sit on it like previous owners
