Unless he's prosecuted and convicted he'll be as done as Ronaldo and Neymar are currently done.

TBF to old hank the British gutter press tend to be quite vociferous about these sorts of things. They even managed to turn Ched Evans into front page news so a young, rich and black elite level footballer is going to get dragged through the mud regardless of guilt sadly.

I still can't believe these players are stupid enough to get themselves into these situations. Even if he just got caught inviting round someone for consensual sex it's still pretty stupid considering how Kyle Walker has just been hung out for this.

Ched Evans was convicted and spent time in prison, thats why he was front page news, on his appeal being successful he went back to playing and has carried on as close to normal as possible, and lets not forget that while he may not be a rapist, the events of that evening show he's still a ****. Mike Tyson is all over the sports news at the moment, how many clubs did Marlon King play for?

I remember a former Plymouth keeper got pissed, drove drunk and killed two children, he went to prison for 4 years, Plymouth eventually signed him back and made him captain.

Being arrested for something doesn't mean diddly squat in football, there is probably an army of horrible little scroats already trawling the internet to find the woman's name and reasons she is either a) a lying attention seeking whore or b) probably asking for it.

But we know literally nothing about this case so anything beyond 'he was arrested' is just speculation, including what 'situation he got himself into', whatever that means.

There's a big difference between the british press's borderline racist obsession with raheem sterling and kyle walker and the british press putting on the front page a story about a footballer being arrested in the early am after fighting with some girl who was sent to the hospital. It looked real bad on him even before the reason for the arrest came out. This isnt just the standard horrible racist obsession they have with painting a black footballer in a negative light

Ah, Chelsea. Probably the first club to have a murderer and a rapist on their books at the same time. Charming as ever

We've got a convicted drink driver for captain, continue to laud a certain dutch wife beater as a legend on this forum and our old security chief of 20 years is currently serving behind bars for sexually assaulting 6 year olds so the glass house you're lobbing stones at is pretty similar to the one you sit in. Oh and our former manager with his penchant for kerb crawling, and whatever Gazza did last. Oh and i forgot, Jose is here, cant forget the lovable eye gouging rogue for that.

I hate the way these stories come out when said person hasn't even been charged yet.

I've said before I reckon in the age of social media there should be a blanket injunction on printing someone's name in relation to a crime until they have actually been convicted. Something has to be done to put an end to the trial by media culture we have everywhere it seems nowadays.

Not defending what Hudson Odoi may or may not have done obviously, but generally speaking I don't think this kind of thing should come out and him be judged by everyone reading half a sentence on twitter

Any link to that? All I can see is he is in talks with them.

Alot of journos. Matt Law saying werner had agreed to join chelsea and most media outlets saying chelsea have agreed in principle with RB. We know media are 1 or 2 days behind

So this is for the next few years are going to be. Us desperately trying to find the money to make our repayments while sugar daddy clubs pull away again.

Sky Sports reporting that deal has been agreed in principle for Werner

Balls. I wish we would have news of mega signings coming out the blue mid-season like this. Rather than negotiations that drag on till deadline day without guarantees of success.
