Bolton Wanderers will attempt to negotiate a cut-price deal with Liverpool to complete the transfer of El Hadji Diouf during next month's transfer window despite the Senegal striker being given a three-match ban for spitting at an opponent.
The improper conduct charge, admitted by the 23-year-old, was laid by the Football Association yesterday after television cameras caught him spitting in the Portsmouth captain Arjan de Zeeuw's face during Saturday's 1-0 defeat at the Reebok Stadium.

But Bolton officials have been privately impressed by Diouf's reaction to the misdemeanour and by his displays since joining on loan in August. Gérard Houllier paid Lens £10m for the striker just before the 2002 World Cup - a tournament in which he excelled - on a five-year contract worth £30,000 a week but he scored only six goals in 80 appearances. Liverpool have still to complete the payment of that transfer fee and are paying a proportion of his wages over the course of his season-long loan at the Reebok.

Bolton may attempt to extend that wage agreement over the remaining years of Diouf's contract and hope a nominal fee will secure his signature.

Diouf will be banned from the Premiership games with Everton, Norwich and Manchester City. The fact that he has admitted the charge means the case will not be referred to a disciplinary commission.

He has also issued a public apology to De Zeeuw, accepted the maximum permitted fine of two weeks' wages imposed by Bolton and promised to clean up his act. He has been equally apologetic to his team-mates.

Bolton will refer him to an in-house sports psychologist, aware that spitting has been a recurrent problem. Police on Teesside are investigating claims that he spat a drink at an 11-year-old fan during Bolton's visit to Middlesbrough on November 7 and he was fined for spitting at a Celtic fan during a Uefa Cup tie in Glasgow in 2002.

"At this moment there is no possibility that Diouf will return," said Liverpool's manager Rafael Benítez. "We have very good strikers and I am thinking only of my own strikers. He is playing at Bolton now and is not my player."

Worse than that we are still paying part of his wages, while he is playing for Bolton. The lad is like a bit of dog turd stuck on your shoe, you can't shake it off unless you use bleach !!

[Ciggy]

Surely there must be some kind of misconduct in that contract that liverpool can pull out of it?

[jonnymac1979]

We need to get rid of this player.  What a ****** mistake on a massive scale it was to sign him. 

Houllier has a lot to answer for as far as this player is concerned.

Diouf is not a £ 11 million failure. His total price tag is quickly approaching £ 15 million all included. What a waste.

[Ciggy]

hes in trouble again for this



Liverpool's loaned out striker El-Hadji Diouf could be fined as much as £2,500 for breaking the law while on a shopping trip in the city.

The Senegalese international has been reported to the police for:


driving his Lincoln Navigator (like the one above) while using an in-car DVD player


not wearing a seatbealt at the same time


having a personalised registration plate D10UFY with no spaces between the characters


parking on double yellow lines for over an hour


The player has been slammed by RoadPeace, a charity which helps road crash victims, for having the DVD player switched on and for blasting rap music out while in control of the vehicle.

A spokesperson for the charity said: "Public figures should set a good example and El-Hadji Diouf is not doing that. By behaving in this way he's not only a danger to himself but to the rest of the public."

A bit of sensationalism in this thread, I would guess that every footballer bought will have some kind of performance/instalments in the terms of payment.
