Thing is its not really 4 months is it. From July to august he wouldn't have any games to play anyway (depending on how far Uruguay get) so it's more like 2 months anyway.
Didn't he get 10 games last time he did it in the prem? So it's effectively a game less for doing it yet again? Surely they should have taken previous instances it's happened and threw the book at him? I could understand the 9 International Games and 4 months if it was something someone with no previous had done (or had not done it before), but the third time? How it is punishment? There saying Liverpool will pay him £3 million whilst he's away from the stadium, I'd fine him for not turning up (even though he can't) every week, no way would I pay him the £3 mil. Can see him going Spain on the cheap, £30mil or so.
