I have anger. It would be contained with ability to torture them. Tie them up and pull their teeth out with my pliers.

Reminds me of the movie Marathon Man. Laurence Olivier pulling the teeth of Dustin Hoffman with pliers. I still squirm thinking about that scene. Please don’t invite me as a witness!

Happened to a lot of Liverpool players a few years back too.
I'm a director for the world's biggest security company. I tried to get in contact with the FA to put additional electronic security measures in place when players were away (CCTV, Video analytics, access control system etc) but never really knew who to contact and it came to nothing.

You'd think the club would have a company like ours who installed a bespoke set of security solutions on each of their homes as standard but barring an intercom it doesn't appear that they do.

They use stopfordian
 
Best wishes to João and his family. What was taken was material only and can be replaced, that he and his family are ok is the main thing. I hope his kids managed to sleep some last night, the criminal never thinks of the implications of their actions until it's all too late.

There needs to be a review of who knows team schedules and soon. No broadcaster should be announcing a player's whereabouts for the rest of the week, unintentionally putting his family at risk.

If city hadn't changed plans he wouldn't have been there for them.

We have to submit our whereabouts to the premier league or FA and can be fined for not sticking to it. But it's time we asked them some questions too, like who is sees that information, where is it kept? Do they have protocols in place to protect they information, and in turn the players and their families?

I'm hopeful they'd have CCTV etc, and GMP will make this right with a quick arrest. Footballers are a huge attraction to criminals as they're well paid but asbent for long periods. Right thing needs to happen here and quickly.

Think it happened to Mahrez too (and Otamendi recently, albeit in Lisbon).

I seem to remember it happening to a lot off players from Everton and Liverpool over the last few years, normally while they were at a game though.
 
Hope he and his family recover quickly. Horrible, horrible thing to have happened to them. The club will help them irrespective of what they need. I just hope the cowards are caught and properly punished.
 
Bloody fuming about this! Hope justice is dished out by some blues, rather us than GMP and the judiciary system. I know which I have more faith in getting justice for Joao and his family. Though I doubt any justice will bring him peace after this.

NB: The GMP do a very difficult job and I support them. My views above are based on scum needing a different kind of justice brought to them.
 
I expect now city will sort out and up the Security of all our players now! As club we do things right to let players feel comfortably when they sign for us so won’t be surprise we employ a private security team.

Ha ha, good one.

I just hope this doesn't go down the Angel Di Maria route...

Yeah, that was my first thought. Didn't his wife push for him to put in a transfer request after their ordeal? And let's be honest, you couldn't blame her for thinking that way. It must be a dreadful thing to go through, being attacked in your own house.
