Identity not yet disclosed, but it's likely he'll be notable by his absence in this week's fixtures...

    Not sure if they were supposed to, but The Sun let slip the Adam Johnson identity.

    Allegedly of course.

    Maybe not a good idea to start naming people who it could be even if it being posted elsewhere.

    Remember one of our own players was named a few years back as was a prominent supporter.

    "The player has appeared for England and plays for a Premier League club according to The Sun."

    So not necessarily an established international - Paul Konchesky and David Nugent both fit the above description (not that I'm suggesting it was one of them). No doubt the "Twittersphere" or whatever they call it will be awash with rumours and speculation over the next few days.

    Yes it is AJ, earlier it leaked out that a 27 year old had been arrested in his £1.8m Durham home, which rather restricted who it might be

    Anyone know how the law has played out here? Presumably he hasn't had time to get an injunction, has The Sun got in there before the suspect could make a move?

    Will there be the same fuss if he goes to jail gets released as there was with Ched? In Adam's case it seems as though some girl probably lied about her age and Adam believed it. She was consenting. So I can't see the same problems like there was with Ched.

    Are you serious?
    A nonce is a nonce.
    Why was he hanging around with a 15 y.o?
    If proven the his career is over.
    I am intrigued where you gleaned the age lying and consent from?

    Unless you're Adam Johnson then I don't think you can state all of that as a fact! I think perhaps we should leave the speculation ...

    The facts will come out if and when a trial completes.

    Sorry, when you said a nonce is a nonce & why was he hanging around with a 15y.o ?

    I thought you was implying that he was guilty, so was aware of the full facts. My mistake.

    except a 14/15 year old cannot give consent. However you feel about their physical attributes at that age, they are not emotionally or mentally ready for a sexual relationship - which is why the law is there to protect them.

    It's an easy mistake to make..



    You think you're sleeping with an international footballer and it turns out to be Adam Johnson.
