he's the only player in the world who gets paid for never playing.

I think there have been a good few of them in the Premiership over the years

It's in his contract that everytime he plays in the dark, it triggers a £50k nocturnal payment clause.

Before the Notts County game I saw him throwing stones at the floodlights.

My thinking is we must be paying him a lump sum every time he gets injured. 

Calf or groin strain...£100K
Dislocated shoulder...£250K
Tweaked a hamstring...£400K
Torn Hamstring...£500K
Broken toe metatarsal...£1million
Paper cut...£10K

he actually has a strange type of contra deal - every time he plays, he pays us. That explains it.

Perhaps he secretly heads down to Gloucester to take part in 'cheese rolling' on a regular basis.

Well, he was when RDM spoke earlier. It's been a few hours now so it's anybody's guess!

It was good to see Adama in the training pics on the OS. Apparently it cost the club £75k when he skinned Cissokho.
