VillaChris Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Surely some of those will want to leave regardless if they don' make europe this season. They've already had a taste of it and Neves and Adama are coming up to mid 20s now so really need to be playing for a team who wins stuff and plays in CL every season. Feels like they've probably peaked as a unit in last two years although they'll still be good bets to finish around 6th-8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendes might decide he wants to move Traore and Neves and Patricio to another side to get himself £15m in the bank. He won't mess with them while Nuno is at the helm though. The company of Mendes (Gestifute) is part owned by the owners of Wolves. Who will he want to keep happy his client or his shareholders? Dont get me wrong I want Traore to stay but if someone is willing to pay silly money for him I won’t lose any sleep. The wide forward areas is where we have the most cover. He’s not a Mendes client anyway. Replacing Neves and Patricio would be much more difficult.

I think both of them walk in to the teams of PSG and Juve and then spurs, Chelsea, arsenal Neves gets in to utd, probably city, barca given their current shambles, arguably Liverpool given they're shopping for thiago said before I think that's an underrated benefit of mendes, if neves played for villa he'd spend all summer linked with a move away, neves lets be honest is better than where wolves are at and will be better than where they will end up and yet there's nothing, never any transfer rumours, never any fishing in the papers for a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Still no idea how this interconnected triangle with the Mendes, Fosun and the club is not a conflict of interest. If I had a financial interest in a preferred supplier at work then every alarm would be flashing but its allowed for the club/agent to have a financial interest in a preferred supplier? Guess it will all come out in the wash if they upset any of the Sky 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 not sure how they can close the loophole tbh putting it back in to the real world if I own a construction company who spends £100m a year at Travis Perkins what's to stop me from buying Travis Perkins and then selling the products to myself at net price? absolutely nothing im just surprised no one else has done it, PSG or Man City should have bought Raiola's company Raiola buying a football club I can see them shutting down the other thing I would be interested in is how these Portuguese kids are reacting to what mendes is blatantly doing, if you're a 15/16 year old breaking through at Benfica or Porto this year and Mendes approaches you then you must have some sort of idea as to what the plan will be, not sure if that is an attraction or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Mendes also had connections with Famalicao who were promoted in 2019 in Portugal and is running a similar scheme there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. When the man's and the arsenal's etc start moaning though they'll do something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Pretty good win for them yesterday to start things off. Think it took until October for them to win a league game last year and they were still in top 8 for 3/4 of the season. Interesting to see how they go but they are superb at game management once they're ahead in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy81 Posted September 18, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yeah, bloody embarrassing result that, fair play to Stoke. We beat them away while in the championship and they were in the Premier League the season before promotion so what goes around... Quite annoying as well given we would have had Gillingham at home in the next round, and with no Europe this season would have had a decent shot at it. Grealish's volley was lovely the other night by the way, decent game that. Don't know what happened with Jota, but his girlfriend is pregnant so possibly to do with that. Stoke is never a nice game for anyone, and it's a mixed bag for us, we do ok generally, I don't think either side really has the upper hand. Albion really tend to struggle against them, or at least they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
