LATEST: ‘ MENDEZ-LAING ‘

Mendez-Laing is always out there having holidays, every time City have a break etc that’s his main destination.

Cost our club a fortune trying to replace him after his behaviour away from football, which our club had no other choice but to terminate Laings contract immediately.





Nathaniel Mendez-Laing returns to Instagram with first post since Cardiff City exit as he enjoys his holidays in Dubai.

The winger is currently a free agent and has taken time away from the game following his shock Cardiff City exit on the eve of the season.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has left Cardiff City in mysterious circumstances


Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has broken his social media silence by posting his first photo since his shock exit from Cardiff City on the eve of the Championship season.

Bluebirds fans were rocked when the club announced just three days out from the beginning of the campaign that one of their star players had seen his contract terminated over what City described as a "breach of terms".

Weeks before the announcement, eagle-eyed Cardiff fans had noticed that the 28-year-old winger had taken down his social media pages.

He unblocked his Instagram later that week, only to upload a screenshot of a statement issued by his management team pertaining to his exit on his story.

Now, though, he has posted a photo on his feed for the first time with his four-month-old son Táo, who was being dipped in the pool while holidaying in Dubai.

Mendez-Laing captioned the post: "Don’t worry bout nothing! Daddy will always have your back."


Quite clearly, there are still many unanswered questions.

Just what the breach of contract was and the severity of it are the two key questions which remain and whether they will be answered in time is anyone's guess at the moment.

But another important question Cardiff City fans will have centres around what the flying winger's immediate future holds.

Will he will rock up at a rival club this season, or will he be out of the game for an extended period?


Laing now a free agent, it’s also a mystery why he has not already joined another club.

Mendez-Laing is unattached, so he might still be taken on as a free agent at some point.

Given the legal wranglings still hanging over this one, there has been precious little information come out since the initial bombshell statement.

But, for now at least, it looks as though quality family time away from it all is at the forefront of his mind.

I think the fact he’s holidaying in Dubai puts the rest the fact he’s in trouble with the law.

antics ?

Glen Morton...thinks.... ?

thats not really fair..no idea who glen morton is but id not be happy if he...thinks.... i might have done something wrong and then broadcasts it....

Just enjoying himself.

If he is going to court for something that could end up in a prison sentence I’d be doing the same.

If he’s found guilty he won’t be allowed to go into many countries with a criminal record. Travel now I say

All ifs, buts and maybe’s at the moment as nobody on here knows the real reason. Lots of possibles and surmising but nothing at all based on facts.
Give him a break TIL the facts come out. Remember, Harris said that the door will always be open for him. Surely that could indicate that some of the suggestions of why his contract has been terminated are wide of the mark.

Vast majority of jobs one would be suspended pending any proceedings or guilt.

To be sacked in such a way more than gives one the impression he’s in trouble big time.

I agree all whispers at he moment but for the club to do what it did clearly sends out a message.

The club had no other choice but to immediately terminate his contract and what i hear, i am with our club without a doubt

From what I’m hearing I am also with the club but I can also understand NML

We lost a very valuable asset and also had to replace him. Even if it was drug use I think the club would have banned him and put him through rehab to keep him on the books. Definitely in a bit of bother it seems.

To be honest I’d forgotten about him,more interested in Harry Wilson now

To be honest I’d forgotten about him,more interested in Harry Wilson now

indeed.. onwards and forwards...
and no doubt all will be revealed in due course

Yup. Agree

We deffo miss NML... Him Tommo and Bobby G were linking up really well at times last season and he's definitely a unique player for a team like ours.

If the door is still open and all could be forgiven/proven innocent? then obviously you'd have him back in a heartbeat before Middlesbrough sign him

Not really, I've travelled all over the world with one. Only a small handful of countries are really tight, like the US. Although it obviously depends on what exactly you have done.

I think the fact he’s holidaying in Dubai puts the rest the fact he’s in trouble with the law.

Does not mean shit,unless he committed murder,very unlikely to be told to hand in his passport,even if he has a court appearance in the pipeline.so no it doesnt put anything to rest! We will all undoubtedly know more in the future,until then nobody knows for sure!

The fact that no other club has snapped him up on a free would suggest he probably has some sort of court case coming up

If it was something not particularly serious a load of other clubs would have jumped at the chance to sign him

I think the fact he’s holidaying in Dubai puts the rest the fact he’s in trouble with the law.

Not necessarily so...

In general, a violent or recent criminal conviction may cause entry issues with some countries; and currently the UAE is not overtly one of them (unlike the USA and others)

However, local (UK Government) travel policies might affect someone's ability to travel, e.g. if they had to hand their passport in

It is not Glen Morton who thinks, reads it again it is Glen Morton asking what he has done, and Gareth Johnston stating that HE thinks it was drunk driving

You're right; but one of the issues is the lack of information being put out there by those ITK

Clearly 'something' happened and clearly it was serious enough for the boy to lose his job, so (certainly from a supporters perspective) it is reasonable to want to know what occurred even in its basest sense and I think we are all (at best) a little surprised that pretty much nothing has been put out publicly, which further inflames conjecture

People can take this on board or not but one or two people on this Forum (and beyond) have been told what the alleged 'issue' is but have not put it out directly for a number of both legitimate and private reasons

This is not aimed at you when I say if people read back through the early posts, there are those who appear to have hit the proverbial nail on the head; albeit on occasion with an amalgam of information that makes up the whole (or the larger part there of)

Note: To the best of our knowledge, there have not been any charges laid against NML at this time

yes people are bound to speculate...its just all of the speculation revolves around serious unlawful wrong doing .. and it could well be nothing of the sort...

That remains to be seen; but it's pretty serious with consequences, if any or all of these claims are true

That's genuinely not intended to goad people. It's simply based on something myself and others have been told (some separately) and all of which are somewhat confused by the total lack of public statement for that which is alleged to have occurred

How many ways can people think of him being 'sacked on the spot' that doesn't involve serious breach of contract, trust and/or wrong-doing?

Sorry if that sounds vague because it is; but the truth will out at some point and confirm or quash the gossip

Can't argue with that; but something happened and I trust my sources this one as it tallies with what other have been told separately...

Remember, he wasn't 'released from his contract'; he was sacked!

i will ..repeat.....what i said was all the speculation ive read has been around unlawful serious wrong doing... when quite possibly its not....which on one hand you seem to be agreeing with in your how many ways line ? which covers serious wrong doing plus everything else under the sun.... well yes i can think of quite a few circumstances that would lead to his contract being terminated with immediate effect { which does not exclude an agreement of sorts } that do not include unlawful behaviour which would surely mean gross misconduct and not breach of contract..........on the spot.... is something thats been inserted to imply something and not what any statement has said..
anyway my initial remark was how unfair this innuendo of unlawful behaviour was to an ex player without it being backed up... .. so if your determined to carry on with it do so... but im sure you wouldnt be happy with some bloke you dont know implying youve done something very seriously wrong without a shred....

Then NML can sue anyone who has spread lies about him.
