Cardiff City have terminated winger Nathan Mendez-Laing's contract with immediate effect.
The club has not explained the reasons behind the decision but BBC Sport Wales has learned it is for an alleged breach of contract.
Got to be something serious for a club to do that
Rumoured, and I can't emphasise that enough at this stage, that he's failed a drugs test and also been caught/arrested for dealing drugs. Court case to follow.
Nathan Byrne (Derby) is the latest to leave Wigan, am glad that he's got a decent move!!
Sam Morsy too looks to be following him out, Middlesbrough want him
Quite an upturn in Byrne's career considering he was loaned to us in L1 as Wigan didn't feel he was up to the Championship!
Yeah not blowing our trumpet but his career certainly turned with Wigan after his loan with us - Although that would have helped by the fact that Wigan were relegated from the Championship the year he was with us. His loan showed them that he was up to League One standard so got his opportunity and carried that form back into the Championship
Spurs have also agreed a deal to sign Sergio Reguilon for €30million.
Key to the deal was agreeing to the buy back clause Real Madrid wanted, whereas Man U refused.
Unless United have an alternative lined up, I think that's short sighted - if you think the player is good, you get a good player for a couple of years, make a bit of a profit if he goes back, and have a couple of years to scout replacements.
I know you could argue he'll always have an eye on going back etc but then he'll want to do well to get that move back.

I think what probably concerned United is if is does well he's almost certain to go back with Marcelo coming towards the end of his career. Saying that, not sure if they have a similar arrangement with AC for Theo Hernandez?
Marcelo, Mendy, Reguilon who was great last year whilst on loan at Sevilla, they can afford to let one of them go and whilst Marcelo is winding down his career, a buy back clause if Reguilon does well makes a lot of sense to Madrid

Absolutely, but if he does well and they make a profit, it's probably paid his wages for the time he's there, makes it like a free loan.

True enough. Barca/Real do seem to like a buy back, but unlike with players like Morata this one seems more like he'll definitely go back (as long as he progresses ok) than he might go back. Just my gut, but seems to be Utd's thinking. Given they have Williams who they could loan out for a year or two I'm in agreement with you that it wouldn't have put me off.

This quote stood out to me
“Fulham's a historic club in London and I've heard a lot about the stadium."
He obviously likes the quiet
Oh Alphonse he comes from France,
Oh Alphonse he comes from France,
He's got a name like a nipple,
Oh Alphonse he comes from France.
Birmingham sign Neil Etheridge from Cardiff for more than £2m
Wilshere contract to be terminated early
"The most important thing is he needs to play football,” said ‘The Romford Pele’.
I might not be an expert or a former player, but I think the problem could be that he's always injured and can't play.
Ouch

Maybe they have an alternative option, though judging by the Sancho non-move, perhaps they aren't that canny.
