People are deluding themselves if they think RL is full of well behaved angels, if we are going to have a policy of only signing players who have never said or done anything wrong then we wont have many options.
Its a sport that generally attracts kids who arent well educated and are aggressive. They then have a lot of time on their hands during the week and that can lead some to going astray.
Length of deal will be interesting here if we have doubts about playing ability, behaviour or both id expect a short deal with options.
