We won’t be breaking any rules that have been put in place (to protect everyone’s moral compass) if the deal is sanctioned by the league.

Just get the bugger signed he looks class.
 
Well you are saying you are uncomfortable with us dealing with Russian clubs but our owner being involved with it and some of his money coming from that sort of thing is fine? Complicit maybe the wrong word, hypocritical suits more
No, I said I would be uncomfortable circumventing international sanctions, if that's the case. There's nothing hypocritical about that.
 
Who are you referring to?

And what do you mean when you say “Gazprombank are sanctioned”.
There's a searchable list on gov UK. According to it Gazprombank have their assets frozen and a prohibition on correspondent banking relations and processing payments.
 
I had a quick look at Russian transfers this summer.

Just to sum up.

Russian clubs have signed players from Portugal, France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain, Greece and Turkey.

Russian clubs have sold or loaned players to clubs in France, Cyprus, Israel, Greece, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Italy and Germany.
 
I guess the major differences are Bangladesh are not actively engaging in a war of choice against sovereign neighbours. They don't currently have soldiers in Ukraine stealing children, raping women, murdering civilians and looting possessions. They have not caused ecological dead zones in a sovereign state my destroying dams. Bangladesh are not daily bombing childrens cancer wards and then double tapping the responding emergency services. Bangladesh are not beheading and torturing pow on social media.

Also, when I buy a t-shirt that is not directly going to to a state owed corporate entity who will use the profit to do all of the above again.

People can support the club and the player if he signs but be against the idea of the club doing business with essentially the russian state given the current ongoing circumstances.

The world is not perfect and the UK doesn't have a squeaky clean history but that doesn't mean people have to throw away their morals of today because of it.

Of course it doesn't, but kicking off because we're getting a french striker on loan from a Russian club....ffs man! 🤣

Maybe the UK should stop making a lot of these weapons in the first place and then we can talk about how shitty other folk are to use them.

Seriously, if anyones taken any real offence to this loan signing then they need to probably lock themselves in the house, and turn off all media. Go join a protest instead or write a letter to your local MP to vent. A football forum is not the place.

We’re gonna end up in with a loan ain’t we ffs we’ve spent all summer chasing one player and still didn’t get him. Probably no fees actual paid for a permanent signing either if we don’t sign mendy if you’d had said that at the end of last season no one would’ve believed you.

Who is kicking off?

'People can support the club and the player if he signs but be against the idea of the club doing business with essentially the russian state given the current ongoing circumstances'

It is hardly losing the plot. I would just rather the club did it's business elsewhere.
