I can’t see the club saying anything about in the signing statement. But I expect there will be some kind of unofficial statement given to the usual suspects like Ally and Eccleshare.I agree. If anyone thinks that Daniel Levy, one of the most risk averse football owners out there, hasn't done his homework on this then I would be astounded. I suspect we will address it in the official statement if and when he signs because we will have to really. I think people need to have a bit more faith in our football club.
For me, this is different. We've a top class manager who has got excellent short-term results. He knows what it takes to win and isn't sitting back.Literally Blue and Yellow the window we signed Parker, nothing else really comes close tbh.
It wasn't long ago that ITK believed we weren't interested. As a player he seems like the perfect fit for us.I’m very excited with this signing.
I didn’t think we’d go in for him but he can be a monster in the middle of the park.
The Police only ever arrest guilty people.It’s not about “innocent until proven guilty” - that is an oft misused phrase that only applies in a court of law
I think he’s a midfielder that due to his role, style and position will naturally pick up cards aka RomeroInvestigation worries aside, does anybody have any worries about the amount of cards he gets? I haven't watched him properly but seeing the cards stats is a bit of a flag, or do you think he is unlucky or as he's still young?
Not even convinced that is the case. The allegation itself is under investigation, he's at the moment a person of interest to that investigation but that doesn't mean he's being investigated himself for committing the actual alleged offence. Could be a whole number of reasons he's still part of the investigation. The fact he's no longer on bail but someone else is, has to be a positive IMO.He is being investigated. It’s not like his name has been plucked from the sky in connection with the case ?
I don't think the police or BHAFC have ever officially named Bissouma as the person under investigation (the police have only said that it is "a man in his twenties", and BHAFC have only said they are aware that "one of [their] players is assisting police in their investigations").I agree.

It’s a simple gameFunny thing is, whilst we’re really making waves in the transfer market, we’re doing it without spending big money (so far). Forster, Perisic, Eriksen (if he comes) are all free transfers. Bissouma is only £22.5M reportedly. Spence will be less than £20M. Turns out all we needed was a world class manager, a football man doing the deals and ambition.

Compared some stats from Fbref against some of the league's top DM's. I really think he's gonna be a superstar for us.
As some people are saying he's going to be our Kante, any chance you could do the comparison with him and Bissouma? Would be really interesting.View attachment 112873
