Does it mean
Our young Ecuadorean is going to get done for been a drug cheat?
Or clearly a young kid from a different continent isn’t going to be an ever present and be the man straight away?
And does it also mean Simons isn’t good enough to be the starter?

it’s all very strange

I'm pretty sure we're expecting Zambrano to get some sort of ban, it's just a question of how long it is.

I believe we have the option to buy him ..pending the investigation...

You would imagine the option/obligation kicks in once the length of the ban is determined. If city are happy with the duration the move becomes permanent. If not, the deal remains a loan, we pay his wages for the season, and we never see him again.

I think we really rate Zambrano and would probably wait out a ban - unless it is particularly excessive.

This hanging over him was the only reason we could bring him in ahead of other suitors (Brighton and Luton). I don’t think we’ll give up on him when he gets the ban - although we did think it would be relatively short.

If it's anything less than a 12 month ban, it makes sense to buy him anyway. At his age we'll be offering like a 4 year contract, so it'll be well worth it.

I'm not sure what the ban actually entails, presumably he can still train and be at the club.

If it’s like Tonali or Toney it will be all football activity. Which is a ****ter for a foreign lad in a new country

I would guess:
- Our young Ecuadorean is going to get done for been a drug cheat?
Who knows.
- Or clearly a young kid from a different continent isn’t going to be an ever present and be the man straight away?
Yes. Too big an ask.
- And does it also mean Simons isn’t good enough to be the starter?
Yes. Another year developing here then maybe.
- it’s all very strange
As OTL comments, needed strength in depth having failed to land other non FA targets during the window

Now for another striker please.
