They usually say that though, and if they did fine him two weeks wages that would surely have been punishment enough without suspending him too.

just saw this http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-34252151.html
fined two weeks wages and turned away from the training ground. not great!
Just reading Eirebhoy's link in the opening post of this thread. Alan Shearer only better.... where did it all go wrong Anto?!

Suspension not just for Twitter outburst.
His agent has 4-8 weeks now to really earn his crust. At 27 he's got one move in him that he needs to work out. What a frustrating and talented player. It's disappointing to see.
Maybe Stomes himself has 4-8 weeks to earn his crust? I hear what you're saying but no amount of a sales pitch from an agent can cover up for the fact (or perception) that Stokes himself has been the architect of his own under-achievement.
Linked with a loan move to Hibs but denied by Deila. It would be quite the sneaky (but brilliant) tactic by Celtic.
Linked with Inverness Caledonian Thistle this morning, worked with the manager at Hibs.
Says it all about a lack of fulfilled potential. Jonny Hayes was with ICT recently enough. I saw the two of them play for Ireland under 19's at Turner's Cross. Hayes looked just about handy and Stokes looked like he was going to turn into a devastating player. Created real urgency amongst opposition defenders with every cushioned touch and turn.
Surprised he hasn't leveraged his Champions League experience to gain a club on the continent. Dare I suggest he's happy out in Scotland?
He's only out on loan, I suppose in theory he could play himself into contention for a transfer next season.
He's way too young to be of the age (> 35 and crocked) where a player decides to realise their retirement dream (of last resort) to play for the Tallaght team.

They're trying to get him out on loan "to play in a top league against top defenders" and Collins speaks positively of a move to ICT.
Is that not a contradiction? Or is he just hinting that a Hibs move wouldn't be ideal?
I like the way he says his attitude has been good "lately". Speak volumes about his attitude prior to that, although I suppose it was well documented.
rumours on twitter he's going to Hibs on loan (in the Scottish Championship) until the end of the season: https://twitter.com/HFCTransferNews/...74048027447296
Anthony Stokes loan deal done and agreed. Now to await official confirmation from Hibs and Celtic. Unbelievable piece of business #goals
Dundee United have reached an agreement with Celtic but don't seem too hopeful.
Hard to imagine Stokes going there really with the situation they're in.
"It's up to the player to decide. He's got loads of options."
Nice to be wanted.
Loads of fairly crap options for a guy who was holding his own in the San Siro and the likes not so long ago.

Starting to look like Hibs again.
