Yeah I agree, seems like a strange decision to sue the club. It's unlikely anyone around in the 80s (or, at least, anyone in a position to know about "The Finger") is still going to be there, so I'm not sure what the point of it would be.

Money mainly

No I'm not - what I meant was that he's not exactly living in a different country from his friends and family. It's not a journey I'd want to make every day or anything, but it's certainly close enough to maintain family ties, friendship groups etc. Compare this to people coming from different continents, or even opposite ends of the country, it's really not surprising footballers get up to stupid poo poo without a support group around them.

He's on loan. There are rumours we have an option to buy and I think would have tried in January but obviously thats a pretty bad idea now

Remember when Josep Simunic, following Croatia's qualification to the World Cup, went with a microphone in front of their supporters and did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VXCNPKFtV0?

Well, FIFA has banned him for the next 10 internationals, up to and including Brazil 2014, and going so far as preventing him from even being inside the ground whenever Croatia plays, for doing a fascism: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/16/croatia-josip-simunic-ban-world-cup-pro-nazi-chant

This is an extreme overreaction, "Za dom spremni" is a nationalistic Croatian slogan, that unfortunately was also used by Ustase as well. Silver lining for croatia though, they are forced to start Lovren as a CB, which they should have been doing for the beginning anyways.

In what's probably the most high-profile footballer case so far, Gennaro Gattuso is being investigated for match-fixing.

AC Milan star Gennaro Gattuso investigated for match fixing

Former AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is being investigated for match-fixing, Associated Press reports.
Four other people have been detained in connection with the alleged fixing of matches in Serie A three seasons ago.
Ex-Rangers star Gattuso, 35, is retired and was sacked by Serie B side Palermo after just six league games as manager.

He isn't. He was just searched for evidence concerning another player(s) involved. This is from another source I read so it maybe bullshit though.
