Thinking in more detail, the fact that this bloke is a firearms officer and clearly extremely poor at making quick decisions under pressure - the guy on the floor (who is likely a nasty piece of work) is lucky he wasn't shot!

I understand the response - for all we know the pc with the broken nose could be a v close colleague to the officer. But these guys are paid to control their emotions. There are standards that they have to meet and this bloke fell far below them by choosing to strike the head of a prone suspect with his boot. - twice. We can wonder if the officer will claim that he did not know if the suspects had any weapons and chose his actions to avoid any risk whatsoever - but what about his taser ? this fella’s career on front line policing is v likely over. If he’s charged with assault then he’s surely out of the force completely?

Cue reports rudders negotiated a clause where we have to pay a percentage of the loss on sale 😄

Rare to see sell on clauses on 50m+ fees infact I don’t recall ever seeing one …

Mate - we have had threads at 100 pages with no comments from reliable journos like Percy. The club aren’t bothered about what we think. Someone said he had sources outside the club - of course he does but imo, he wouldn’t go public on anything without a nod from his sources within. There is a reason why he’s considered no 1 for info by the fanbase. That many won’t consider any info reliable until Percy comments on it.

No need though there was no particular clamour from the fanbase for any news on soule the club has pretty much always done transfer stuff with no comments until deals are effectively done

She deserves an apology from adidas they should never have involved her in this campaign

Too many worrying about the cost without appreciating the nuances of salary/fee adjustments to compensate

I’ve got winks vibes reading the negativity on here.

We do our business in private we dont publicise stuff unless we think we’ve got a deal in place We wouldn’t tell Percy that and he wouldn’t write about it unless we were confident doing a deal. I'm concerned that those responsible for getting the move done we’re convinced that we could do a deal this week when a plethora of Italian journos were saying that the player really wanted Roma. Whilst that isn’t proof of anything in itself it should raise enough red flags that you don’t pass any info to Percy on the deal. Just not necessary.

(Or we’ll pay less in fee and pay the balance of his contractual arsenal pay) I tried to point this out earlier ric - good luck !

If Romano is right then it begs the question how on earth the club believed that a deal was very possible to be closed this week. (to the extent that they fed that to JP ). Percy wouldn’t have written about soule unless he was told something concrete.

People are speaking about 5m+ for Casey ! Nelson is a home grown talent who can’t get into arsenal starting line up. But he’s in the list for starting options if wide player injured. Had a v good spell in Germany. and he is 24/25 so will have a resale value in three years

I think the player is worth 20/25m if we’re paying 15m then the 5/10m difference is to cover what we’re prepared to pay him in wages (say 65k) and what Arsenal are paying him (100k) thats 3 years at 35k/week = approx 5m (plus a loan fee for this season which will be approx 2m)

If juve don’t want to sell to Roma then why are there talks in the first place ?? its all a game of poker

If the fee is only £15m then that’s why a player of his profile should be more than that

Presumably we would loan Ben out so we can save on kits ……

gonna soon be a horses head in someone's bed ...........

Given the injury he suffered, I would fully understand that the kid could be in a hurry. childhood dreams are one thing but a big contract will sort him out for life. I know what I’d be doing and it would be where I’d play the most at the highest level I could coupled with earning the most dosh.

Yep - They’re mostly Corbynites and suffer from an illness. An illness where they simply can’t see that being in government is more important than anything else. i think they enjoy being in opposition more than being in govt when you actually do stuff and change things.

I think it’s naive not to worry we’ve lost very decent mid teen prospects already past few seasons Do you think maresca hasn’t marked the chelsea recruitment department’s card on him and a few others here ?? but if the kid is being advised to see out his deal here then we do need to expose him because that will get his price up at tribunal. Infact, a bidding war in January would likely deliver a bigger fee for us than him walking away next June.

You accept they’re interested there are non Roma journos who have tweeted that he wants to join Roma Whether they’re being fed nonsense by his agent (or someone else) is the question. assume this has to be sorted by this weekend because juve have players they want to buy and there are deals beyond. Getting to the time when pre season begins for the international players.

This topic is not hot enough for those suspensions infact it wouldn’t surprise me if they reversed the policy this is about starmer putting down a marker to those who see a thumping majority and decide it’s ok to do as they please regarding their own politics rather than the party line. If they campaigned on the manifesto then they should support it. These seven will have to decide what they intend to do over the next six months and therefore beyond. I imagine that if they continue to vote against policy then they will not get the whip back. They had an abstention option.

We must surely have been trying that. if he hasn’t signed yet then that must be down to his advisers ??

Shame they didn’t pick 69
