I was just stating it lacked any facts. I totally respect the opinions of others.

Surely a player of his calibre wants CL football

How good is it to be linked with these types of players and actually being in with a shout of getting them

Just a Coincidence....?

Would anyone care if we bought him for £50mil? I'd just been happy if we signed him - without a doubt he'd improve us.

Which is your opinion - and I respect that.

This seems to have more legs than the Barella rumours.

Nothing article - just a collection of the opinions of others.

I wouldn't say 'No chance' as we've seem if a player 'wants' to move then it strengthens our hand. And if it's true we'd be willing to double his salary from 50k to 100k then there is every possibility his head could be turned.

Well they haven't sold him yet and even if they do it'll not be for the price they want. And that alone doesn't open the doors to allow them to spend big again, that needs more sales and PIF have just gifted them what they need. Am amazed people aren't even the least bit suspicious. We're not talking one or two players being pursued it's potentially half a team.

Sorry - I disagree.

Chelsea are in big trouble with FFP. No Champions League football and already over a hundred million in debt. Yet out of the blue low and behold PIF (who just happen to have billions invested in Clearlake) come to solve their problem. And you really think that is just a coincidence?

Exactly could be billions - PIF taking the cast offs from Chelsea cannot be pure coincidence and is probably the reason why Chelsea went on a crazy spending spree.

He needs to get that transfer request in - they'll not want to keep an unhappy player.

?

It would balance out if they could throw money on one of our fringe players but it cannot happen.

Can't compare it to the Chinese League- Saudis have far deeper pockets. Am not comfortable with this at all.

It is far from luck - it's football manipulation. Almost as if it was planned.

to get the World Cup?

Not going to the Saudi League either - fair play.

We are basically the only club that can't benefit from the Riches and so I'll not be happy if it gets clubs like Chelsea out the hole they are in https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22731277/chelsea-todd-boehly-saudi-arabia-pif-transfers-ffp/ Just will ruin what is left of the integrity of football. I have no doubt PIF care more about improving their own league that any impact of their actions on the competitiveness of Newcastle's rival clubs.
