There’s some serious questions to be asked about how much the club knew, how involved they were with the investigation (if at all), etc.

Doesn’t sit well with me at all.
More the police. Did they wait until after 30 June when his contract expired to charge him so he isn't an Arsenal player anymore? He could have fled the country, unable to be arrested.

Yeah I dunno, there’s questions to be asked of both the club and the police. Something doesn’t add up.

The club had to know

They couldn't take him to an overseas tour because of it

Our new ceo should be held accountable for allowing it to go on

Arsenal were in a slightly tricky position. Current legal precedent in the UK is that you are entitled to anonymity until charged with an offence. If Arsenal had suspended him it would have effectively named him.

Met Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have questions to answer. He was first arrested in July 2022 about allegations relating to incidents with three separate women. A full file of evidence wasn't given to the CPS until January 2025 then it took them until July 2005 to charge him.
That doesn't fly.

City stood down Mendy.
Everton stood down Sigurdsson after allegations surfaced. Wasn't even charged.
GFC currently have a midfielder not playing while under Vic Police scrutiny. Different jurisdiction I get that.

But if clubs have the will power they can exclude players under suspicion of despicable crimes.

There was a legal decision in Feb 2022 that changed things, so maybe after Mendy and Sigurdsson. The Supreme Court ruled that a person who is under criminal investigation has a reasonable expectation of privacy prior to a charge.


It's still a very bad look for Arsenal. Arteta's statements about him and the talk of contract renewal.
 
I get they legally couldn't banish him

But don't select him. Don't say he has injuries when he can't leave the country. Don't say you're so happy for him after everything he has been through. Don't go to extend his contract
 
Pretty impressive that Thomas Partey has been featuring in all of our away UCL fixtures while not being allowed to leave the country

FWIW I hope justice is served and whoever the guilty party in this case gets whats coming to them.

If Thomas is found guilty and the club has been playing him this whole time with knowledge that outcome was coming... then that will be incredibly disappointing for me as a fan.

If it turns out to be nothing, then we move on.
Arsenal handled this one amazingly well.

Absolute disgrace and Arteta's comments a while back.. pathetic.
 
So much salty tears over arsenal the last few pages.. glorious reading
Given lots of that discussion was about Partey this is some cringe shit from you burntchook. you played a rapist for 3 years. Be better.

Another 6 month old thread bumped for some cheap shots. Nice.


Alleged. Be better.
5 counts, 3 women.
Likelihood all are lying. Quite small.

A club with a moral compass would have stood him down not preference the need for points.

These are very complex issues, especially from a legal standpoint.

I agree with you, if there's any way you can stand him down, just do it.

The definition of stupid is misquoting something? Good one.

Lets keep deflecting from Arsenal’s embarassing and pathetic conduct.
Yes, not knowing what was said and trying to use it to score points makes you look stupid. Tripling down now. Take the L and move on.
