    Partey charged with two more counts of rape, this time from 2022.

    Good. Everyone knew it was him but now it’s official. Arsenal will rightly get pelters I expect

    BBC describes him as former Arsenal player. Was his contract finished?

    Apparently this is the first our football press has heard about Partey being a rapist

    ...and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you

    Incredible how he leaves Arsenal and three days later *suddenly* the accusations deserve the proper scrutiny they conveniently didn't get.

    In separate Arsenal news, Takehiro Tomiyasu is leaving the club by mutual agreement due to never-ending injury problems. He played just 6 minutes of football last season and faces another half a year on the sidelines.

    Looks like we dodged a bullet there.

    In other news, sports agent Jonathan Barnett has been accused of rape, torture and trafficking:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3ny45ep4jo

    His most infamous move was arranging Cashley Cole's meeting with Chelsea.
    Barnett is an Arsenal fan.

    HandOfArsenal (a reliable Arsenal ITK on 'X'/Twitter) said that we'd verbally agreed a contract with Partey and all of a sudden, there was silence/no movement on an actual contract being given to him. At the time, he couldn't understand why. But he said now it makes sense - so that says to me that Arsenal have known this was coming for at least a week or two.

    In any case, the fact we'd even considered giving him a new deal, when the senior leadership team were clearly aware of what was going on and the nature of the allegations, is pretty despicable (to put it lightly). Even if they didn't sack him (and some people said they couldn't do anything unless he was charged otherwise they they'd get embroiled in a legal battle), they still could have approached this very differently. But they prioritised an asset/money over doing the right thing. And that's something I won't forget. It's a huge, huge stain on the club.

    Also the guy who convinced Gareth Bale to join Los Ladrones for a world record fee, by complete coincidence just as Bale's contract with Barnett was running down
