Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 That would be a genuinely jaw-dropping signing for Wolves! Hagen is generally reliable too. Porto fans were critical of Nuno for not giving Neves enough playing time though. Suppose it depends on how much Jorge Mendes wants it to happen.

VillaAlex Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The most stupid story I have heard this year. Irrespective of Jorge Mendes, Ruben Neves is one of the best talents in Portugal who plays for a Champions League side and is being heavily followed by other Champions League clubs. The article is then suggesting he could join Wolves in the Championship ahead of a World Cup year for a Portugal rise he could break into. The exact same thing happened with Talisca last year and even that was more believable. Wolves instead will be getting a few bang average B players on loan with the possibility of another gem like Helder Costa if they are lucky. That is the Mendes way.

Whenever I watched Leipzig he was head and shoulders better than anybody else in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree on Forsberg, had he been from a sexier nation than Sweden he'd cost easily twice that. Edited July 1, 2017 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the 'beauty' in the Kante signing that he cost Leicester **** all and even then, Chelsea paid what, 'only' £32m? Keita is no where near as good, and no where near worth more than double Kante. It will be one of the biggest rip off signings off all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kanté was sold this summer he'd be a world record deal, easily £100m + Edited July 1, 2017 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Jay Rodriguez gone to WBA for £12m, a fair price for a decent if injury prone player. Will add a bit of quality on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yeah, a pretty good deal in this climate. Think he cost that much just going from Burnley to Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Injury really killed him, he was in great form in 13/14 (would've made world cup squad) but hasn't come close to those heights since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 12 mil is nowt nowadays. Pullis knows what he is doing. I think he will be a good signing for them. Some interest in the Villareal striker Bakambu. I think he is the type of player who would do well in the Premier League if he stays fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 some that have gone under the radar - ever banega - sevilla kiko femenia - watford yuning zhang - baggies zabaleta - west ham caballero - chelsea zaza - valencia (£16m!) diego lopez - espanyol tello - betis pablo piatti - espanyol belhanda - galatasarary paredes - zenit karsdrop - roma gonalons - roma maksimovic - napoli was a rumour this morning of that croatian keeper we couldnt sign because of a work permit going to leicester for £18m doesnt seem too true with them already having 2 good keepers on the books 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
