https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49662132 Apparently it may have been a dodgey transfer... doesn't sound like Ashley and Charnley's game at all... I find the bold sentence below quite humorous Two people have been detained in an inquiry in Belgium into alleged fraud involving the transfer of football players, prosecutors say. One, players' agent Christophe Henrotay, was held in Monaco. The other is said to be an associate in Belgium. They were detained during raids on Tuesday and Wednesday. Prosecutors said the arrests stem from an ongoing inquiry into the £13m (€18m) transfer of striker Aleksandar Mitrovic from Anderlecht to Newcastle in 2015. "The facts involve notably money-laundering operations and private corruption in the context of football player transfers," they said on Wednesday. A search was also carried out in London, where a Metropolitan Police spokesman said they were assisting the Belgian investigation. It is understood that Newcastle believe they are not directly connected to the inquiry. In April, Anderlecht premises were searched. No-one was detained at the time. A separate inquiry into suspected fraud involving transfers during the 2017-2018 season led to raids on premises linked to Anderlecht, Club Bruges and Standard Liège last October. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So that is another transfer being looked at, think there were a few we were being questioned on by the HMRC last year or so when that was brought up. Then you have Keegans intimation about the Xisco and Gonzalez transfers. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me; fool me thrice and I call ****ing bullshit, the ****ers need to be hung up by the testicles and beaten into admitting what they are doing.
Sounds like nothing to do with us. It would appear the agent has been "at it". Leave Mike alone, he does his best.
