It's not new though is it, he was doing it in his "good" season (a season where he was a total magnet for giving away penalties, punched the ball in his own net twice and caused a goal by faking injury*). That's why we wanted to move on from him, you simply can't trust him. But early signs are we've messed up what should have been a simple bit of recruitment.
*On this note - can we stop getting him to go down with a phantom knock so we can have an impromptu team talk please. Not only is it fairly transparent cheating, but one day a ref is going to tell us to do one.
