I think they may have been something to the fact that the back problems appeared after his drunken night out in Romania. I mean, maybe that is what caused them and maybe it caused friction between him and the organization. But he was in and out last year, not just out for one large stretch. Maybe you are right and I am reading in to it too much, and I hope in some ways you are. But when the club goes from a "visa probelm" excuse to uhhhh, "back problem" excuse in 2 weeks time while courting an eerily similar defender it rings the "this guy is getting sold" alarm for me.
