I'm not a huge fan of him but I'd trust the club if they want him, he has had a couple of really bad years - dont think its necessarily indicative of him as a player.

Yep I'm the same, think he did well at Lille but not done anything since

Obviously would trust the club if we did go for him but think we can do better
 
Ghisolfi has at least tried to sign him before so if it’s a made up link it’s at least a researched one :D
Got to give them credit for trying if thats what it is, I reckon he could just be one of a dozen CB options and juve trying to push it a bit.
 
Most opposition clubs know the owners for what they are, it's all sports washing and trying to buy titles and publicity for their wider agenda. Not to mention their fans constantly shouting about how they are the richest club (clerb?) in the world and how PSR isn't fair.

I do believe there is a "Saudi Tax" when it comes to them but it's not surprising at all. What is surprising is that their fans find it surprising, the relatively normal ones anyway.

There is definitely a Saudi tax. There is also an unwillingness to do business with them or help them at all. I have an old mate from my travels who is a Palace supporter, and he says that the bid for Guehi last Summer would have probably been accepted from any other club.
 
lots of clubs in Europe have to yeh. I’m not convinced it makes any difference to us if we “bank” signings this year versus next year but then I don’t understand it all
No difference on the buying side but presents an opportunity to take advantage of motivated sellers. It’s a position we should try to exploit whenever possible.
