Id want Bissoumas case heard before signing him if it were us and only sign him if all charges are dismissed.

Mansour had another Abu Dhabi government fund buy his shares (IPIC).

Easy to make money when you can call upon oil money to buy a fee billion quid of shares in your name.

Without oil money / Abu Dhabi money Mansour is a nobody.

But profiting off an alleged sexual assault is OK?

His asking price was double 12 months ago before all this came to the fore.

Has 12 months left on his deal. Could easily say it is profiting off his contract status which has been A-Ok in football for ages.
You're trying to apply a moral standard to me on 'what if's' to combat far more far reaching issues with City et al ownerships.

Let me riddle you this in reply. If you, Cruyff14 were arrested for the same thing last year and many months later still hadn't been charged with anything would you be happy if that was hindering your career development at your current job? Or hindering your ability to change jobs?

If he ends up being charged and then found guilty then we'll have bought poorly, and I will not want him to play for us.
Your mate is holding him to that standard before anything of substance has come to pass and you're trying to get me to do the same.

If I hadn't been charged, and was not guilty, yes, I would feel aggreived.

If I were guilty, I'd not really have grounds to complain.

I think it's a good signing FWIW, but the moral ambiguity here leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Not one with beans in it anyway.

Are they magic? Everton will buy them for 40million

No ambiguity. Come back to me when/if he's charged.

Speaking of Everton transfers...



Special price. 20m.

He has been released under investigation.

Spoiler: RUI

RUI means that a suspect is released while an investigation continues. The police are not able to attach any conditions to their release no matter how serious the offence.

People suspected of a crime may now be “released under investigation” instead of being given a bail date to return to the police station. This means you have been released from custody without charge and no obligation to return on bail to the police station for the offence for which you were questioned for.

Brighton and Hove Albion footballer remains under investigation in sex attack case

The Brighton and Hove Albion footballer Yves Bissouma and another man are still waiting to learn the outcome of a

www.brightonandhovenews.org

There is no upcoming court case. Bissouma can leave the UK at any time, like he did for African nations cup.

You realise many sexual assaults don't result in charges. And many that do result in charges don't get found guilty.

Doesn't mean something dodgy didn't happen.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Doesn't mean something dodgy didn't happen.

Yet having 12 months left on his contract is likely the primary reason for the reduced price tag

In that case any time an accusation is made you would have to cut a player loose.

You have to let justice take its course. If charges are dropped / dismissed thats innocent for me.

Only CL side in for him his agents would have warned off a few like Villa who were in for him around 35m a couple of weeks ago. The investigation isn't the only reason we are getting a bargain but it's definitely involved and feels a bit wrong. Like the player but will always be a hard player to fully get behind. Like Serge Aurier bur actually good!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Lovely.

 

[Zidane98]

Spurs might win the title next season with all these signings.

 

[Sphynx]

Lovely.

Whatever you saved on Bissouma, you overpaid for here.

 

[pantskyle]

Spurs ruining football.

 

[glenferry23]

Marqui signing.

 

[SM]

Nah.

 

[jd2010]

Nah.

Is Spence as chaotic and nuts as I've read?

Might just need time to be mechanically Conte'd

 

[moomba]

How long has the Bissouma investigation been going on for now?

Seems a long time for someone to have this having over his head, and while I understand its not a great look to be signing someone under investigation for sexual offences the bloke can't be expected to put his career on hold when he hasn't been charged.m

Arrested around Xmas wasn't he?

I'm not saying he should be banned from football. Just not jumping for joy with the signing even at half the price as I would have been this time last year

Isn't Greenwood about to have his charges dropped? Justice doesn't always prevail

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Sort of worried I'll get a fine for not tapping my myki card and JD will want it to go to a jury he's on to send me to the chair.
