The question of the charges doesn't really come into it as he would probably not still be with us when he went to court. The big question is could he either score or help somebody else to score some goals for us in the short term rather than a DS player. He also wouldn't be a loan signing...
When does the loan window close as I thought it was next Thursday but I could well be wrong and it could be the week after. Either way I think it is before our game following on from Palace.
