    Javier Mascherano has been sentenced to one year in prison for tax evasion.

    Didn't see that one coming.

    His lawyer has just requested a suspension of the prison sentence and for it to be replaced by a fine.

    He's also been fined €815k, but he's asked to be fined more to replace the prison sentence, it doesn't sound like it costs much to buy your way out of prison in Spain.

    Never going to happen.

    They will earn more future tax out of him outside than locked up. Neither Party wants it.

    No wonder then that Barcelona want to sign Everton defender John Stones in a hurry. <laugh>

    It's really something when the best player in the world gets sent down for tax evasion.

    Mind, in his shoes, I'd probably do the same. As I'm sure would almost anyone.

    It would make their prison football side better than average.

    If guilty, he should do time as well. As all tax evaders should.

    Mascherano is a midfielder, why would Stones be brought in to replace him?

    You don't serve actual prison time in Spain if your first sentence is fewer than 2 years, unless you committed a violent crime.

    You dare to go against the opinion of a top scout?

    Yeah and like he would ever go to prison anyway , it's just a question of how much money he ends up paying to the Spanish government
