BBC are running the story now, so pretty safe to say it's on.

I believe that the number of women who make up an accusation of sexual assault is in the vast minority. Statistically the number of genuine sexual assaults that lead to a successful prosecution are around 2.5%. Therefore if you are accused of sexual assault, if you are arrested and handcuffed, if you are bailed three times and still under investigation after 8 months, you are probably guilty but will still probably get off.

Transfer Deadline day will be so boring, we'll have no player left to sign

Maybe but I've just had to complete a dbs check for a job I'm about to start because I may be in contact with vulnerable children.Here is the added salt on top, all that information, regardless of you being innocent, is still held by the police as non-conviction information. You can apply to get it deleted, but good luck with thatIt comes up in background checks for certain jobs regardless of you not being convicted. System is fooked
It came back completely clean but I will admit to being a bit concerned for a while, not really knowing the process.
So thankfully, a couple of false allegations from a deranged ex didn't show.

I mean “should we not sign potential sex offenders” doesn’t seem like particularly high ground.

The two key assumptions here being that a.) Tielemans actually joins them and b.) Winks won´t leave - while both are fair chances, let´s remove both names off that list and it get´s even funnier

I'd say your lucky as the police are very risk adverse at the moment. They apply a framework to aid their decision making, and they do get it wrong sometimes. Its a bit inconsistent with how they apply it, the fact that the information is still held is a concern as well. If I were you, you can apply to get it deleted. Takes ages though

It's a relevant part of the discussion and something that absolutely should be discussed in my opinion. These things matter. Everyone is quick enough to point out the various shitebags that have played for our rivals, if you have any ethical consistency whatsoever you can't then support the signing of someone under investigation for sexual assault on the basis that he improves the first eleven. I'm no religious nut but "what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul" springs to mind.

Stopped reading at 'court case'. It isn't a court case. Maybe it's a clever bit of business to underline his point about misinformation.

Exactly. There is no harm in discussing the case. The issue is when people can't making things up or saying he is innocent/guility with the limtied information we have. The truth is that anyone at any moment can be accused of a crime, why would you condemn them before any investigation as concluded? Seems utterly bizarre and quite unfair

Talk about an overreaction. Nobody knows anything about the case, just that he is a person of interest in a sexual assault case, it doesn't mean he has commited any crime. Signing a player like Bissouma as it stands right now shouldn't make you question what the club stands for. What is the point of discussing something when nobody has the facts? It means it is full of conjecture and hypotheticals.

He’s a bit like Wanyama, an absolute athletic beast but at the same time real quality on the ball.
Top Top signing if it comes off.
Also I love it when we sign other PL teams top players, Man.U did this for years, ironically from us quite often (Carrick, Berbatov etc) nice to see we are truly a big club now and we are the end point for players reaching the top level in their careers and no longer a stepping stone.
Absolutely buzzing about this

I agree with you there, but that is precisely the type of chat I am sayign we should avoid. People will start leaping to conclusions, IMO it's a toxic conversation.
