It was the sort of signing i thought might happen in the last window .
This is the type or signing would like us to make once in a while. It’s a bit of a gamble but it’s a gamble on a kid that’s got huge potential and is currently performing at CL and league level.
Get him before he goes to a European club and becomes a 60/70m player.
you have to read the above as a woman or something.
I've seen someone report an alleged offense and someone then say maybe we should buy him and then someone else have a jape about getting him cheap, quickly followed by another comment about prison. That might be read as the alleged sexual offense doesn't even matter.
Just think about it. its either snowflakery or its trying to see the other side. which is often insulted as being "woke"

It says "not buy him"![]()
Tbf in your haste to 'deal with the sentiment' you summarised incorrectly what had been said. Correcting that mistake is arguably just as important as drawing attention to it in the first placeAnother correction rather than deal with the sentimentdeflection is also enabling

Hmmm...more deflection.
clearly accurate quoting is more important than sexual misconduct round here
not one single person has actually addressed whether its actually right to make light of sexual misconduct, it doesn't look good for those women's rights issues round 'ere!

Hmmm...
I think it was meant as a joke, you know?
Poor taste, perhaps - but I don't think it's a genuine indicator of anyone's attitude to women's rights.
Just to be controversial, I might add that I dislike the term "women's rights", as all rights should be universal regardless of gender, race or any other distinction anyone tries to create to divide us as humans.

Not deflection, reluctance.more deflection.

We all decide for ourselves which parts of a comment we want to take on and which we don't.![]()
There's a difference between standing by and allowing nasty things to happen and not speaking up and commenting on a specific case - Bissouma - which is an allegation at present as far as I know. We shouldn't condemn someone unless and until they are convicted or the allegation is proved correct. I think the jokes have only been made because he was connected to us at one point. People often say 'we dodged a bullet with that one' when various stories come up about transfer targets, rarely do they address the issue connected with the dodged bullet.Riiiiight. And that's what's called enabling others
Say someone you know shouts an offensive term as whatever minority they see in the street and you say nothing. What is that?
Or if someone in the row you are in spits on a man city coach and you dont report it.
Of if you are a millwall or england fan who decides it's good to boo players kneeling cos apparently it's a radical communist thing or something
And so forth and so on. The challenge I am seeing to us is what do we do now? Do we go ah well that's their problem and nothing changes or do we say something as weve been told by all the various groups actually it's not ok if you want to be an ally of those groups.
Its now black history week at work and we get to listen to people telling stories about all this stuff so it does start you thinking.
Its not easy mate to know what to do tbh but I suppose nothing will change while we enable others to continue it all on even if we ourselves dont do the bad behaviour.

In the general sense, of course sexual assault is wrong.
So, in your eyes, who is being "enabled" (daft term imo, though that's not your fault) - is it the abuser or the person that makes a joke about it?Riiiiight. And that's what's called enabling others

Treating serious matters with inappropriate levity is a common cultural trope - I suppose it's down to the individual regarding what we decide is crossing the line, but it doesn't mean we approve of the said crime.

Someone suggested we should look to sign Bissouma the other day.
Reports then came out about Bissouma being charged. Biscan shared the reports BECAUSE of what had ALREADY been discussed.
Someone said maybe we shouldn't sign him then
Where the **** is the problem?![]()
