Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

[Aphex]

Nah, this is not it.

Being concerned that a player your club is signing has been involved in a disgusting act against a woman is hardly a 'moral high ground' FFS.

You have absolutely no idea, no clue whatsoever that this man was involved in a disgusting act against a woman.

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.

It's a relevant part of the discussion and something that absolutely should be discussed in my opinion.

Make your mind up then mate. Don't you want what little information is known to the public so you can make your mind up instead of listening to what someone's mate's uncle's dog heard down the pub about him?

Simon Stone on BBC saying £30 mil. fee, that might include all the add ons.
Season tickets being offered to waiting list this week might encourage a few to accept.

Aaaaaannnnnd another thread is getting ruined by constant bickering.

FFS.

Cheaper than buying one then , grow your own.

Just woke up to the news in the states. Let’s f’n go!

In my mind, best Prem MF available and for that price it’s a steal.

You can't see the odd stitching on that photoshop but you're definitely right.

Is that a photo shop? Best one i have ever seen if it is ?!

Perhaps a blanket ban on discussing the case? Seemingly going in circles as there is no real "new" information at the moment

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.

I do agree but for me, it's an emotive and important subject so when someone says, he's obviously guilty, I can't help but respond.

I'm sure the club will have investigated, as they did with Serge and if I remember correctly, Disco Benny also had a few issues hanging over him when we signed him.

So with that being said, this is a great signing for us and possibly one of the best options to bolster our midfield.
Conte wanted people who can come in and make an impact straight away and with Bissouma already playing in the league, it's exactly what he's got.

Excited for next season already.

Talksport also just said it was £25m going to £30m with the add ons.

 

[brasil_spur]

The extension is not about Bissouma.

It says the man in his twenties 'has been released under investigation'. Then says Bissouma was previously on police bail.

Yeh Bissouma was released in January according to this. It's the other man in his forties that has had his bail extended.

 

[SpartanSpur]

What makes me very excited about this signing is that not only was it very much needed for squad depth, but it's one of the few possible options we had to genuinely improve the starting XI. I actually like our current options but if Bissouma is willing to put the work in under Conte he has all the tools to become a genuine world class CM.

I liked the McKennie link but I wasn't convinced he would be a bonafide starter. I'm convinced Bissouma will be if he has the hunger to do so.

 

[SpursLegends90]

ssteal of window for 25M .. great signing

 

[amathews3416]

Do people really think we are signing this guy with the chance he still gets locked up for sexual assault? Guarantee the club knows much more about the case than any sort of message board speculation and have assurances and are comfortable with the situation.

 

[Aphex]

Sorry guys, I worded my original post badly. Back to the football.

 

[KirstyG]

Woman here - don't know if that lends any different perspective on this.

Any person that abuses another is absolutely repugnant, I've seen the long-term impact of these things on friends and it is truly shocking. That said, as deficient as our legal system is, in relation to this with so few actual convictions, we have to assume innocence until proven guilty and assume our club has done DD plus i'm sure in the future he will need to do his best to avoid this type of situation occurring.

As a footballer he is superb. As a man/person I have no idea but this will have been considered I am sure as I believe we read that Conte was keep to review the 'character' of players before we sign.

I may not be 'whooping' as there is a slight reservation but like someone else said there are some shameless people out that accuse for no reason or are mistaken in their identification, so we need to keep calm heads.

Was talking about Nuno signing for Spurs weeks before everyone else

That wasn't ITK, it was his opinion that Nuno would be a good pick for us. I saw/heard the Talksport footage at the time.

Yes it is
