J suspended by Everton over unauthorised trip to Brazil

    Everton have suspended their on-loan striker Jô for a breach of club discipline, according to the manager, David Moyes. The Brazilian returned to South America over Christmas without permission, leaving the club without cover up front.

    "He left over a busy period for us," Moyes told Sky Sports News. "He is back now but he left us short of players so at the moment he is suspended. I am disappointed. We like Jô, he has been a really good lad and we have enjoyed having him. But there has to be discipline at all football clubs."

    Although Jô, who has been suffering from a knee injury, will be missing from Everton's squad to face Carlisle in the FA Cup, Moyes indicated the punishment was likely only to be short-term.

    Jô joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City in July having previously spent a successful six-month spell at Goodison Park. However, despite scoring five times in 11 league starts last season, his return in 2009-10 has been just two goals in 24 appearances in all competitions.

    The 22-year-old cost City £18m from CSKA Moscow in 2008 but he was moved out during the January transfer window after scoring just three goals. His agent indicated earlier this week that the player was likely to cut short his stay at Everton, with a return to CSKA a possibility

    What is with these Brazilians and just returning home unannounced. Remember Robinho done it also.

    The guy is a nutcase. Did he actually think he would get away with it ? Sure it would have taken nearly a whole day to get there and another just to return! He is one of those Brazilians that will probably only flourish in the Portugese league like Jardel.

    Alongside Shevchenko he's easily the Premier League's biggest flop.

    Adriano is another who did something similiar; remaining in Brazil without permission.

    I can only think of one Brazilian flair player who was a success in the Premiership: Juninho. Jô is another in a line of failures.

    Not suited to the English game in fairness. He's been a complete waste of money for City and only played well in his first loan stint at Everton. Should go to Portugal I'd say because he looked suited to that style of football.
