Soooo. Is he training? Is he playing? Thank god we have Pellistri on board. And wtf is our luck with players currently.
- i think it's basically a statement of, "we will react based on what the police does"
  
  That's a sad fucking statement in my opinion.
  
  why?
  
  So he gonna train with the team? Play in the PL? Brazil dropped him pending the investigation. We need to do the same. I know we don't have the depth in the squad to handle that but the statement should be about as equal as the national team.
  
  should we drop anyone that's under investigation?
  how long before accusations emerge ahead of important fixtures?
  
  It's complex for sure but the whole Greenwood debacle made this worse. Also domestic abuse is one of the biggest problems we have. Brazil dropped him. We don't. Puts us in real bad light.
  
  no offense mate, but that's a bit of an overreaction, Greenwood had tape leaked, we all knew he is guilty, we know fuck all about the antony case other than what's alleged, and some parts, like around doctors is rather easy to verify and investigate for the police.
  as for the "bad light" the club has tried to bring Greenwood back, that ship has sailed.
  
  I know it is. It's just a subject were I have a hard time to not overreact. I'm fed up by these things right now.
