ngl I feel guilty feeling happy about that one with the investigation hanging over his head. Hoping for everyone's sake including the potential victims that he didn't actually assault anyone, but who knows if we'll ever know.
I've had little doubt in my mind of his guilt since I seen some of the conversations with him that one of the alleged victims shared on Twitter a couple of years back. But I'm just some random guy so its not my verdict to make.
Let's just say that I won't be shedding any tears if he leaves the club in the summer.
Best case scenario for me is some Saudi club pays way more than he's worth over the summer and he joins Ronaldo and Toney in the "I still want to play but I've fucked up somehow" club.
yeah I doubt it too, but I want to believe that the club would do something if he was actually guilty. And no charges over two years is at least indication that it's hard to build a case against him if nothing more. Who knows.
