Former Notts County loanee Cristian Montano has accused Oldham Athletic of double standards for sacking him for alleged spot-fixing then trying to sign convicted rapist Ched Evans.

The ex-West Ham player was sacked by the Latics in December 2013 only for the Crown Prosecution Service to drop their investigation earlier this month.

Now the Colombian winger, 23, intends to sue Oldham, claiming that his former club "turned against" him.

Oldham have so far refused to comment on Montano's claims.

The Montano story interested me, here's someone who hasn't been convicted or found guilty (you know innocent until proven guilty) but is treated quite poorly and in the other hand you have the direct opposite someone who has and they want him.

Difference? The status within their reputation but I'd take Montano back here, I wouldn't touch Evans or welcome him.

Also bad news for Crewe fans, they've lost on of their better players which I think Rovers will gain having around.

If Montano reproduced the form from his first loan spell he would be a good addition but i suspect he is not a derry type of player.

Colchester have also got a good young prospect with harney.

I dont think we require a inconsistent player like cristian montano, he faded and even at Oldham he did amount to much.

The lad from MK Dons is decent.

I am not sure a few good years warrants a move to the premiership though. If it happens good luck to this. Nice piece of news! Good feature.
