His car ?
His house ?
His children ?
WTF is he selling ?
Obviously I'm not asking for his name, because you wont want to post it here incase it's wrong.I've heard this rumour in two variations:
1) player has been dealing, cops were going to bust him on XX date
2) a week later, same player under surveillance by cops who are planning to raid him soon in order to use him to go up the food chain
I called bullshit on (1), because the source was a journo telling his mate via txt that the cop raid would be happening "tomorrow". Firstly what journo would risk losing a massive scoop like that by txting his mate? Secondly what cop would risk blowing the bust by telling journos a day in advance of the time they plan to arrest him?
I called bullshit on (2), because again, why would the cops be chatting so openly about their intended plans? This player is VERY high profile, and if ive heard this rumour, so has he. If its true, he would shut up shop, lawyer up, and be all good. If the cops truly want to use him as a snitch, they wouldn't be blabbing it to the world.
BTW not saying this player is a cleanskin, just that the two versions of this rumour don't make sense to me.

But any idea of the club or state?

Hasnt this already been exposed as untrue? even Jon Ralph went on SEN weeks ago and said there is no truth to rumours floating around about a player being busted dealing etc.
Yep. But there is also the possibility that he does not know.I don't rate Ralph at all but if there was something going on he would possibly not say anything to keep things quite a bit longer. He wouldn't actively defend a player if he knew something was up.
Quoting myself, sorry... Getting my head around things. The rumour is a fairly recent indiscretion.Yep. But there is also the possibility that he does not know.
Yep true. Guess I'm assuming he would (if there was something to know) given the tweet in the OP was from the Hun.Yep. But there is also the possibility that he does not know.
There is plenty of vicious crap floating around and Martin is not the only player implicated. Who knows how much is true and how much is utter tripe?Yep true. Guess I'm assuming he would (if there was something to know) given the tweet in the OP was from the Hun.
This has been around for a month or so. I reckon it would have grown legs if there was something to it. Happy to admit I'm a bit biased here though.Quoting myself, sorry... Getting my head around things. The rumour is a fairly recent indiscretion.
