The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

I don't blame Neves for going to Saudi, I just disagree with the idea that this will mean he's made for life.

He already was.

Some Portuguese newspaper has got us going back in for Braga midfielder Al-Musrati again.

He has probably made sure his grandkids are made for life

If he fancies blowing some of the mega millions he can always buy Wolves and watch it vanish

Well that's down to their own bad decisions, not down to the basic maths of the fact that they have already earned enough money to live comfortably after they retire.

And bad advisors.

Ok, you could argue a bad advisor is the result of your own bad decision in choosing a bad advisor, but anyone with that sort of wealth is going to need good investment advice and the parasites will be in the wings quite happy to fleece you of the lot.

The difference between massive growth and massive loss can be simply the person you put your trust in and choosing the right voice to listen to amongst the numbers and noise when all you want to do is kick a football around won’t necessarily be easy.

It's 7.8m for what he's on over 3 years Vs just over 100m for what he'll get over the next 3 years.

Both sort you out for life, but one does it in a much better way than the other.

Plus the latter won't be taxed (much)

Surely just a lazy link on the Neves news.

More than likely but would actually be a great signing tbf.

 

[HanDoJin]

Striker

 

[HanDoJin]

Buy a striker*. Ffs







*yes, yes I know these are mostly garbage rumours. Can we be shoddily linked with a goalscorer though, please.

 

[Lycan]

Surely just a lazy link on the Neves news.

Yep. Too expensive.

 

[AndyWolves]

Hooray!

On loan.

Disgraceful use of funds, Shi should be fired for this.

 

[Butters]

Not happy with that much at all tbh.

Prefer to see him sold.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You can't sell what no-one will buy.

He's shit and he's injured, good luck with that sales pitch.

 

[Jinky]

Didn’t someone say we’re weirdly better off by having him on loan, rather than selling him for a loss? I may have made that up but sure someone said this is the case due to the shit rules.

Anyway, seems a few may be disappointed with this, especially at the price bandied around (if there’s any truth, or course).

Yeah that was me.

It works out better for us if we loan him for free (but lose his wages off our side) for a year then sell him for £12-13m next year than if we just sell him for say, £16m now. It's stupid.

He has over £20m of amortisation left, we aren't getting that so we'd sell him for actual money and still have to write down a loss, which we don't want to do as other players are already "costing" us money there.

That is disappointing but you can't be promising players will start.

There's quite a few that could fulfill that role.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, especially with the midfielders we already have and 100% know will be here next season.

 

[Alan]

Massive bummer but hopefully shows the club have learned that if a player needs too much convincing, it ay worth it.
