Wainy316 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 So do we reckon Liverpool pounced after what ever made Jota ‘abruptly’ leave the ground last night or was the deal already in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Surprised Wolves didn't get brewster as part of the deal. They're light on experienced attacking options with Adama filling in at right wing back currently so will need to get another one in before deadline.

Because Brewster isn't a Mendes client Here's what's happening at wolves I dont know how wealthy the owners are, but mendes is probably the brains of the club has numerous talent under hes wing as their agent So jota went to wolves 4 years ago, even then I think he was a full international, no way a player of that calibre would join a club like wolves at the time, but Mendes puts him, and a few of the other talented players into wolves for minimal transfer fees, those players flourish and get promoted, get into the Europa league But now he needs to get them out, they've done the job, so wolves make a small profit on a player they didn't really own, Jota gets the big move and wolves get another from the Mendes stable of young, quality but unproven players until they are ready to move on Rinse and repeat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Even at £41-45m, Jota is a good signing for plop. Wolves have a good model though, similar to Leicester in that buy well, then sell for a good profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy81 Posted September 19, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2020 @Jimzk5 Jota wasn't a full International when he joined us. He was someone Altetico Madrid signed that wasn’t good enough for them and was out on loan to Porto, playing under Nuno. The move to Wolves did make sense. Nuno obviously liked him and he wasn’t rated by his parent club. You’re saying a player of his calibre judging by how he seems to us all now, but at the time he was a 20 year old fringe player. Im gutted about this, £45m is a good price, but when it clicks for him he’ll be world class I think. Again, this is the model, happy to trust the club.

penguin Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Strange signing for Liverpool I think, not that I don’t think he’s a quality player. Centre Midfield looks to be the obvious area they need to improve. Why spend £45m on someone to challenge Minamino & Shaqiri to be Mane/Salah’s backup.

villa4europe Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Striker Option B would be my choice for their money, I'm guessing jota will see some sort of clever switch around I know firmino does the high press work rate thing and mane and salah get the goals anyway but origi isn't good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Some are making out (not on here) that this is an example that Wolves are losing a big player as soon as a top club come knocking. I don’t see it like that at all, it represents good business, especially when players like Podence and Neto are probably considered to have higher ceilings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 If they get the replacements and bed them in 1st then it works If they're left snapping up the next nzogbia then it doesn't Their business model will be based around moving these players on rather than losing them They need to make a contingency for Moutinho and Neves, that'll be interesting, could be this kid they got from Porto last week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Its a tactic that can only work for so long as the well dries up and other clubs catch on. Southampton and Udinese in recent times spring to mind. Its up to Wolves to adapt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 The only other business model is to have billionaire owners pumping in their own money (like us) into the club and to cheat FFP by fake commercial deals. Buy smart and sell with profit seem like a pretty nice business model to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves probably get lower transfer fees because agents payments in the background will be way higher than normal as compensation for him engineering them into Wolves in the first place. The incoming fee will be reinvested in other Mendez players for a rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah forgot about Neto, he looked good in flashes last season although VAR didn't seem to like his goals very much. Podence more experienced but haven't seen enough of him to judge yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 45m is a lot better for Wolves than 35m. Think Jota will do well for Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
