Zambrano still banned

Yup.

All hands on deck time and it’s another kick in the buster browns.

We’ll just have to stay up the hard way then.


UTT.

 

Most athletes use drugs, either performance enhancing or recreational

 

No

 

Never been called an athlete before.

 

Hearing at the CAS set for 13/3/25

 

Zammo should have just said 'no'.

So what, next season? Sign him up fo'sure.

 

Do we have an obligation to buy?

 

As he's suspended will the 8/9 months be offset by the amount of time he's been suspended? So 5th november to 5th July/August?

That's basically in time for a full ish preseason. I'd be keeping him regardless but that would be a great result.

 

Never mind i wasn't aware it is a very old post. Forget this post.

 

That German tennis player Zverev came out with an interesting defence. The performance enhancing solution found in his body was actually on the hands on his masseuse and got inadvertently transferred into his body. Points for imagination. Not sure if he got away with it. Think he might have done, which I guess didn't go down well with his fellow larkers.

 

That was Jannik Sinner and yes he got away with it.

 

I wonder if this is why we didn't get another 6 in January.

 

Not yet.

Only if we'd sold Macca

 

So he had a happy ending then.

 

Correct, he also will appear at CAS in mid-april, but unlike Zambrano he seems to be winning his case.

 

He started on the slippery slope aged around 8 years old. A stroke of luck ?

I think we have seen enough to say he would be a very good acquisition. The fact that we have stood by him, I suspect we will be able to get him at a price much lower than we would under normal circumstances. As far as I see, Acun is seeing him as a good investment for the future.

 

There was genuine interest from Premier League clubs in Zambrano. Man Utd, Brighton and Luton were looking at him.

We wouldn’t have had a look in, if he hadn’t had this hanging over him. If we can keep him for next season we will genuinely have a very solid looking midfield with Alzate, Metazo, Puerta and Zambrano.

You also have to take into stock that we’ve only seen Zambrano play in a Walter midfield we’re the aim was to bypass them.
