I hate to say this whole situation is completely different thing, but one was formally charged and one is under investigation. I’m guessing is why it’s unfortunately handled different by the clubs. As an Arsenal supporter, I rather the club move on from Partey, like yeet him to Saudi Arabia or freaking Greenland, got kind of optimistic with the possibility this window but it was just noise. It kills me that people will cheer on a complete monster simply because they can get the ball into the back of the net. The judicial system at times protects the criminal rather than the innocent.

But yeah that statement is a literal slap to the faces of every victim of domestic violence and sexual abuse. I’m actually hoping their women’s team would speak up about it. It’s not the done thing.
