No, RvP is NOT a rapist. No, Ronaldo is NOT a "sexual assault specialist". These guys have been investigated and scrutinized. Yes, Bissouma IS a suspected sexual offender. He havent been investigated and scrutinized enough YET.

I don't really know the details of this one so it's hard to comment, but as @BaZZe and @tcahill have been saying, aside from the risk of losing him to jail time or whatever, it isn't as great message to send out.

Yes in the past, football has generally put money and success above all else. Plenty of examples of this where player behaviour has been ignored or defended. Violence against women is now getting the same level of understanding and recognition as racism for example, and this is an issue that a lot of people care passionately about.

We have a burgeoning ladies team and game that is getting more and more popular as well. Signing Bissouma before his case is decided doesn't send a great message maybe?

I'm saying this really liking him as a player as well. Along with Phillips he's probably the best ball winner in the PL. Would improve us.

When you’re talking about the likes of Neves, Tielemans and Bruno G, all of a sudden Bissouma is quite pedestrian by comparison, he’s a ball winner, the others are ballers.

Was reading up on Bissouma and came across this article which has a few interesting stat comparisons in it. But to be honest they just confirm that Guimaraes is basically great at all the stuff you need from a midfielder (apart from goals). Biss is a great player, very good under a press and not terrible at bringing the ball forward, but he's not elite at it.

If he proves to be innocent, we should get him. Amazing player.

The real downside would be him going to AFCON as well in the future, not that people would sing badly about him in a stadium.

Here in the Netherlands there was this goalie, Stefan Postma, who got pegged in a private session with his girlfriend. When they separated, she put it online when he was still a goalie in the Eredivisie. Every stadium sung about it :lol:

It's not about what opposition fans would sing in the stands. Bringing someone in who is possibly a sexual assaulter would be ethically questionable. We wouldn't want to bring in Adam Johnson and Gylfi Sigurdsson for the same reason.

Consensual sex between adults is a bit different isn't it? In the story you shared it sounds like the girlfriend was in the wrong actually basically posting revenge porn.

Look what I said, if he proves to be innocent. The matter is subject to legal process right now as far as I'm aware.

Would go for Phillips as well. English so would help form a young spine of English player from Ramsdale/White/Phillips/Saka. All of those players have not only 1 but 2 common goals. Make it at Arsenal and win stuff and make sure that their performances together at club level make them first team regulars with England.

Phillips is a very good midfielder and still young enough to learn and develop further. His cost? Probably looking at 50-60m or more. Rice would be the dream but there's no chance he is going for less than 100m if that's the bench mark after Grealish.

Really like Phillips as well. Underrated passer of the ball although doesn't dribble quite as well as Bissouma.

Including or excluding Xhaka's ability to cost points?

Or his apologies per year?


(yes that's a random number before someone goes and counts)

Last couple of years he’s missed a lot of time through injuries.

Xhaka is an Ironman but ends up missing games through suspension. As all round players I’d take Xhaka all day long.

Hmm he misses games by suspension after typically costing us a game getting sent off. So it's time missed + ruining games. Not actually a serious debate Im just saying 😁

Slapping an ass in a club... Some girls and gays has done that to me and I am not charging them for sexual assault lol. But maybe I should if they were full of money... Oh wait, I cannot... I am heterosexual man. I am the privileged.

Slapping and ass... To be fair that's not something for going to jail, pay some money, make some community service, go to some social and emotional therapy... That should be all the punishment. There are things like rape, assassination, drugs, etc that worth that... Not an slap in the ass.
I always find the question “if someone did that to my sister” a more helpful yardstick for judging things like this.

Cvnt thing to do, but people acting like he is a Mendy. Slapping a chicks ass shouldn’t cost you a move
This is nothing when you hear a certain football player calls up a miss x country to his hotel and he smashed her in bed, leaving the hotel a bit later then his friends smash her 1 by 1.

Football world is something else, they don't live in our world
