 Sky Sports say a “gentleman’s agreement” is in place for the Caicedo to leave Brighton for Chelsea. Today should see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang join Marseille on a free transfer and Conor Gallagher has caught the eye of both Tottenham and West Ham.

We’ve been “weighing up,” “considering,” and “talking directly with Brighton” for weeks now. These journalists may as well not even say these things if nothing has changed. They’re just repeating themselves a hundred times. 

I saw someone remark how strange it was that we went crazy buying loads of players that we may not have needed the last couple of windows and had no issue putting up the huge fees. Now there’s a player that we desperately need and we’ve been haggling for ages. That’s what’s most frustrating about the Caicedo saga.

If the club wants to haggle and play stubborn hardball for targets in positions we’re steady in that’s all fine and good. But our midfield has 1 top class player + a bunch of literal teenagers currently. So why are we dragging our feet on the most important position in the team?

This thread has gone awol.

I apologise if I have contributed to that

but I will not abide open misogyny

I personally have a thick skin (try growing up a mixed race black lesbian, lol) but some of the things said here are archetypical toxic lad culture adjacent

he beat the shit out of her but she has battered wife syndrome and retracted

Yep. Whether Greenwood was actually convicted for his crimes or not there should be zero doubt to the fact he's a piece of shit who beats women. The photo and audio evidence was clear as day and I don't think I've ever even seen him try to deny it. 

The whole thing smelled really bad from the start with even the father of the girl coming out in defense of Greenwood, which probably had more to do with the fact Mason Greenwood is a multi-millionaire rather than him being genuinely concerned about the well-being of his own daughter.

The Benjamin Mendy case seems a bit more vague though. The fact there were so many women accusing him would lean me to think there was something in the allegations but having read some media reports of the court case leaves some doubts too. An article on the Guardian quoted one of the accusers texting one of her friends the day after supposedly being raped at one of Mendy's sex parties as 'the best day of her life' and seemed to take pride in having shagged some celebrity footballers.

Even if some of the Mendy charges had actual merit, things like that are what probably brought the whole thing down like a house of cards. To convict him the jury would have needed to believe beyond any doubt he had indeed committed the horrible acts and having some bogus allegations in the mix probably provided the reasonable doubt Mendy needed for the not guilty verdict. Whether Benjamin Mendy is a rapist or not is unclear but at the very least he's a repulsive sex addict who in court bragged about sleeping with 10000 women in his life.

we are so lucky to be in the EPL

we are the ONLY league that can truly compete against the Saudi billions simply due to players wanting to play against the best players

sure, Barca, Real, and Bayern can do so individually on reputation and results alone

but even AC Milan, Juve, Inter, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Dortmund, and yes PSG, (to lesser extent as they can also pay huge wages, even if not Saudi level) PLUS all the rest of the smaller teams in La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga are FUCKED and will only become more so as all those leagues become more and more drained by the Saudis and their filthy lucre

but ffs it disturbs me to no end to see violence against women attempted to be gaslit away and claimed it never happened (as if, for example, Greenwood's partner beat the shit out of herself)

I actually agree with alot of your points, but I also stand by the fact, just because a women said it happened doesn't mean it did, the reason there is so much gaslighting is because there is so much false accusations from men and women, unfortunately the two come hand in hand, more recently you have underage boys and girls now going out in to clubs pubs what ever at the age of 14 with fake ID and they look 21, sleeping with adults males or females and shit just hits the fan.

He was a good young player, shame a drunken conversation was even recorded in the first place, if every one recorded convos of Thiers partners saying stuff when they are drunk the courts would be absolutely rammed everyday 

a shame?

yes, but NOT the way you mean

Greenwood's girlfriend, bloodied and bruised, accuses him of abuse
