I'm sure Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan will tell us all about it.

Who cares? Let's see what he does on the pitch and what Cooper does with him.
I mean depending what he did it might matter, we can't call out Derby fans for ignoring Kirchner's tweets then do the same when we sign a player, unless we want to be hypocrites.

Sensible signing I yhink, for reasons already stated. Don't expect him to start every game, or even very often, but he gives is valuable options (see opening game) and cover.

Regarding the controversy, not to condone his supportive tweet, but surely the wider issue here is Senegal's approach to LGBT rights - homosexuality brings a prison sentence there I believe. I would like to think he has been educated following his tweet.

Palace wanted him fir another year apparently, he wanted two and we offered it him.

Homosexualality is illegal in Senegal?

So he tweeted a supportive message when Guaye (so tempted to spell that Gay, given the context) didn't play for PSG on a day they were wearing a rainbow crest, which apparently he had form for.

I haven't seen the tweet but I believe it contained s picture of him with the player and the words 'a real man' in the caption, presumably with other words.

PSG said player was injured, CP said they'd speak to Kouyahte about it, and think he played only one game after that incident.

What with Nazi Wayne and Real Man Check we are beginning to bring them in. I suppose it's like this when you really need better players, you start to bend the rules.

Perhaps all has been thrashed out in private (no, no) and the air is clear.

Just play well on the pitch and all will be forgiven.

Something to note about him & Palace, they lost a lot of players last summer & signed 9 to replace them, completely changing the style in the they play and reducing the age of the squad as well. He will hopefully be able to guide us through and keep us calm.

f*** me, it’s a great signing. Why do people have to find the negative. Increasingly you’re not allowed any opinion except the one that’s supposedly the correct one…. Live and let live but stop expecting everyone to wave your flag. People have opinions/religions/values that differ, so long as you’re not proactively harming another just leave it alone.

Even this place is becoming increasingly sanitised. Onwards. COYRs

100% this. Who gives anyone the right to tell people of a different culture to ours how to think as long as they respect the laws of the land. Judge him on his football ability ffs.
