I think he/she/them is talking about the broader, indirect impact that signing a player under investigation might have on potential sponsorships/naming rights etc, not the players price per seFinancial/Strategy reasons? This guy thinks he knows more than the people making this deal about where the case is at and how the transfer fee is structured?
I hate that this cunt calls himself a Spurs fan and has a decent following. Constantly negative about everything the club does.
Great fee but no other club has stepped in which is interesting. The club and the player must be confident of the outcome of any investigation, otherwise this is very risky and has the possibility to damage the club's reputation.
haha - i thought 'does he not like crying gooners?'Sorry mate not directed at you. Was holding my phone and it typed itself. Just happened to be a big L.
Gooners getting pretty het up we are getting him. Look at the narrative some are trying to create.
I don’t think he’s been charged with anything yet. The investigation is still in progress. There’s been a lot in the news about how many rape / sexual assault crimes go unsolved so the Bill will be making sure they get this right.I’m not well read on the Bissouma case but this is what I’ve understood
- incident happened in a night club
- I read somewhere that Bissouma was allegedly a witness to a potential sexual assault. But this seems to have started on the interwebz and was not necessarily grounded in fact.
- Bissouma and an acquaintance were cautioned by police.
- Bissouma and an acquaintance were charged by police and then released on bail
- subsequently the charges and need for bail were dropped. But the police said he was still under investigation.
It would be highly unusual for police to drop charges against someone, subsequently investigate further and decide to charge the person again. Police are very careful before they drop charges.
On a separate but related matter, interesting to note that Ronaldo was already charged with rape when ManU signed him. Bissouma is not in the same position.

But the investigation hasn't been dropped either.It has been since October. Any charges would have been filed by now.
“Bissouma, who was previously on police bail, was released under investigation before the start of the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament which started in January.“I don’t think he’s been charged with anything yet. The investigation is still in progress. There’s been a lot in the news about how many rape / sexual assault crimes go unsolved so the Bill will be making sure they get this right.
Mendy, Greenwood and Gylfi all players who look to have undoubtly committed heinous crimes have all been immediately banned in one way or another.
The fact that Yves has been allowed to continue playing while this investigation has been hanging over his head, leads me to believe there isn't much in it. I'm making an assumption, but morally I don't see the problem with this signing.
to the united squad? How the fuck do they think that's gonna play out? Unlike Bissouma, there's audio evidence of him raping a girl and there's video aftermath of her covered in blood. WTF.Greenwood is coming back apparently
Wont he be a bit old after 46 years in the big house ?Greenwood is coming back apparently
