How do you think they attracted champions league quality players to the championship on 20k a week?!They could be paying these players well over the market value salaries to attract them via the agency. Foshun has deep pockets so can afford it. As far as ffp is concerned they are well within. I suspect if they had to declare 100% of these salaries they would be in trouble with ffp. DaveAV1 basically beat me to it. There's nothing Wolves have done that we can't do. Were a bigger club with richer owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Barcelona have put their 20-year old LB Marc Cucurella up for sale. Supposed to be highly rated. Could be a good option if not too expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Wolves did sign Ruben Neves in the Championship though. In the summer after they finished 15th in the 2nd tier they signed one of the biggest talents in Europe ffs. Yes, they had Mendes assisting, but Mendes is also working with us as far as I’m aware (helped us get El Ghazi). Maxi Gomes is an interesting one and if he adapts could be a huge signing. Would cost a lot but goals keep you up and if he clicks with the team he will score. A risk but then so would signing Maupay who is only proven in Championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maupay is the real deal, he will make it in the game and would be a safe investment. Maupay is one of the best in the Championship. He can score from anywhere and with head or feet, volleys, tap-ins, he creates his own goals and is very energetic and a tough cookie. Take a moment to watch his YT clips, he is waiting for the big time, he would be right at the top of my shopping list alongside Axel. He wants to be here too. (Not suggesting you are) It’s a mistake to confuse ‘not good enough for the premier league’ for ‘not good enough for the top six’. There are plenty of players in the Championship that are good enough for the PL, not all will make it if given the chance and not all are good enough for top six, but there are at least 40-50 players plying their trade in the Championship that will play at a very good standard given the right surroundings. Premier league top six is basically mixing it with the very best in the world, that’s a very high standard. There’s plenty of very good tiers below this in the Premier League.

useless Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It's a bit of an exaggeration to call Neves one of the biggest talents in Europe when Wolves signed him, the previous season he'd only made an handful of appearances for Porto. In fact most of the players Wolves signed through Mendes whilst in the Championship were players who weren't getting a game at their previous club, it's not like they signed a bunch of ready made superstars, their main asset has been Nuno, it will be interesting to what happens when he leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of the above, other than the 40-50 bit. I would put the figure at 30 or so lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about that. He seems like a decent all round striker, but a lot of his goals are either simple tap ins and penalties. If you observe him getting a clear cut chance he is worse than Tammy. More like Darius Vassell. I'd prefer to leave Maupay to Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Wolves had it easier in terms of their squad, but they also finished 7th in their first season? We don't have to finish 7th. We just have to avoid being relegated. That's very much doable. Even if we have to sign 12 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I know Purslow said loaning is a bad business model but that business model got us promoted and earned us £170m in funds. As such if the only way to get Axel and Tammy back is another loan, then I'd be all for it. We've got enough players to buy this year as it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermarkt have him down as making his loan move to eibar permanent for £2m thats the kind of gamble I don't mind us taking, German youth teamer left back gianluca itter moved to Freiburg fro £2m too benfica bought Grimaldo from Barca for £1m and a sell on % these players are out there just need finding and scouting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If axel signs a new 5 year deal 1st then that's a no from me dont mind loan to buys, don't mind loans for players winding their contracts down but loans that puts them in the shop window and makes their price tag stupid afterwards is a no from me mings is slightly different because of his injury record and lack of playing time a loan made sense but there's no way in hell he was a £15m player in January, we inflated his price tag and now have to pay it, Bournemouth have done **** all but count the cash Edited June 8, 2019 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
