I see Palace are in advanced talks to sign Ordonez. I hope we sign him because out of the other centre backs we have been linked with, he, in my opinion, is the best fit, right age profile, as well as being quick, athletic, having CL experience and a current international.
However, if he chooses Palace over us, I think that would be a worry in terms of how ambitious young players view our club.

Completely agree.

So, you have no problem spending 30 million on an injured player who can't do a proper medical?

No problem at all, unless the medical highlights an ongoing health condition, but as I believe his injury is due to a fractured metatarsal, I don't think it's likely to have long term implications.
