Joao Cancelo assaulted by 4 people in home invasion

[blue44]

What a way to spend a few hours with your family over a busy xmas/new year hey? Minding your own business at home,and some shitty scrotes invade that space to take something for nothing.
Utter wankers.
Best wishes to Joao and his family,don't let cunts like them win.

They use stopfordian

Stopfordian is a mobile guarding / alarm response company.
They are not a security technology provider such as video analytics / access control etc
They don't even provide manned guarding.

We need him when he is ready and his family are ready and not before.

It’s why I used the word selfishly but don’t worry, you’ve managed to signal your virtue.

The commentary on Prime (s Brentford) that the City players were staying down in London for the Arsenal game.... maybe this inspired the Burglars to think his home would be empty?

Perhaps the commentators should be a little bit more careful about the information they share with the viewing public?

If it was spur of the moment maybe but if this was a professional job the timing probably was dependent on a number of factors.
Obviously information regarding ones location is a key security factor but footballers are habitually away from home all the time and as such present a lot of opportunity for thieves.
Thankfully he and his family appear relatively
unscathed as this could have ended up much worse.
In the short term I am sure the club, players and their families will rally around to provide support. Moving forward I fear this will be something which has the capacity to make one fearful of one's living environment and may give rise to a desire to move on. However, is such an incident any less likely to happen in Lisbon or Madrid?

That's a good point.

People just dont think do they. I have a well of mate and about 10 years ago he posted a picture of him and his missus at the X Factor finals as the show was on. My ex showed me it on Facebook. I text him saying thanks for letting me know your house is empty with a mojo of a burglar.

- Why would the club tell the press that the whole team are staying in London for both games?
- Why was this mentioned during a TV commentary?
- Why have the EPL fixture list have us playing two away fixtures in this Xmas period?
- Why didn't the club object to two away back-to-back games in a 3 day period in London?

The club will learn from this I think, announcing everywhere where the squad will be, then to change last minute, is a bit daft.

Hopefully they are all ok & that this won't put his Wife off living over here, i know it could happen anywhere but these things can have a huge psychological effect on a family

didn't something similar happen to Ricky Hatton a few years ago?
He posted on his twitter account he would be away and ended up being robbed.

Does nobody know in which district of Greater Manchester the Cancelos reside? Many rich footballers have houses in Cheshire I believe. As for the family, they should be put on a chartered plane back to Portugal for the New Year, leaving Home Alone type gadgetry in their house/apartment here. Probable dirty Scousers involved.
