The decision will be made today clearly, not the day of the game.

Adds up as Jackson tweeted yesterday.

Absolutely no way should he travel his family is more important and he may not be in the right frame of mind obviously it’s his decision but I’d totally understand if he withdrew from the squad for the time being ..

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

Willow Flood was made to unscrew his plasma telly at knifepoint marched around his new house.

I am of the view we need to act

I hope he doesn’t live in Merseyside otherwise there would be no chance the police would catch the robbers

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

He’s been done twice at PSG since and is still there.

I think it was more the stench from Old Toilet than made him want to move.

Bloody hell, I didn't know that. I must admit I didn't know it was such a big problem across European football until this thread. You'd think the widespread publicity would counteract the potential of a big payday.

Not that it's the most important thing right now but a decision will be taken tomorrow whether he travels to London:

Most important thing Joao and his family are ok physically as for his mental state not sure he will be able to play Saturday.

That's shit. I can only hope everyone in the family aren't traumatised for too long, but I doubt that'll be the case.

He’s come from Juventus, where I can recall at least three of their players having similar experiences in recent years. Doubt this will make him want to leave City.

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.

Both times Di Maria was done in Paris, he was playing. The second time was at home and he was substituted to get back to his family.
