Probably getting some training for having a drink round Stratford....
 
Hope he and his family are okay, but it does sound as if he got off lightly this time. Not so lucky when that gang in Swansea mugged him and got him to buy Bony...
 
I still wonder just WTF happened there with Bony. It seemed the moment he signed for us he turned to shit. Mind you, he wasn't the first...

In his debut, he came on against an already defeated Newcastle United and Toure put a chance on a plate for him. Had he put that away, I think he might have gone on to have a good career with us. As it was, it was a relatively easy chance and from that point on his confidence drained and our confidence in him drained in equal measure.
 
at least some of the funds were reclaimed and the culprits went down for it.
