El Celta intenta sacar más que la cláusula por Fer López

El clausulazo debe pagarse de manera inmediata en un solo pago y los célticos quieren una cantidad mayor dividida en plazos. Los Wolves triplican el sueldo

780’ though… crossing my fingers.

 

[HanDoJin]

Fabio 3.0

 

[PuntsWolf]

Significantly more of a CV than Fabio and half the price. Probably says how monumentally shit that deal was rather than whether this is a good deal though.

 

[prawnking]

Hoping the fee is a good sign we'll be going even bigger than Fer to get Cunha's actual replacement...

Don't agree, £488 for a flight from the UK to Australia looks quite good to me

In spain talk around 25M, for one player play only 780' on first división.

I dont know how you guys made a strong team for next seasson, you guys need cover two main players like RAN and Cunha, and expend 25M on one promise its a bit takle a gambe.

He feels good player and great future, but i dont are sure he is the Cunhas replacement.

Are you familiar with the phrase “teaching your grandma to suck eggs”?

It's all about developing a young player and flogging him in the future for a large profit.

 

[basher]

Like RAN?

 

[Tredman]

Good to see this fianlly being called out in the media

Wolves are a feeder club whose lack of ambition is depriving fans of connection

Only Nottingham Forest and Chelsea have lost more players in the last five years

Yeah, if you fancy a 38 hour trip with 4 stops...

 

[basher]

This is telling isn't it, in the article Tredman has linked, especially the opening sentence:

"Since 2020-21, Wolves are £40m in the black for net spend. They will go back to red if they spend their Cunha and Ait-Nouri money, but to even be close to zero on the balance sheet is rare."

Now I appreciate that net spend isn't the same as PSR but to be constantly fed the line that we're close to it, need to have a firesale to avoid breaching it, going to penalty deductions if we don't take urgent action, etc etc, is just plain horseshit.

Just pure gaslighting from Jeff/Fosun.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, we did a couple of budget flights to Sydney a fair few years ago now, bad mistake
Having said that, I don’t think a could manage a flight to Aus nowadays on one of the Premium Airlines unless it was Business Class.

Are we really a feeder club unlike others? I don't think so, we are what we are - a third tier club in Europe. We play in the so called best league, we are mid table at best, relegation fodder at worst. Few players see out their contract at any club... they are either on the way up or on the way down and clubs like Wolves are perfect for either.

If we are a feeder club, having seen the players we have ad at the club over the last few years...I would take that over the majority of players in the decades before that.

Neto - Injuries aside gt good service from him, was always destined to move on
Kilman - Other than the mess we made of replacing him, has hardly set the world on fire
Nunes - Thanks City
Cunha - Great player, but forwards are always in demand
Ait-Nouri - We got a good few years out of him
Neves - One we would never have got had it not been for Mendes, stayed longer than many anticipated
Gibbs-White - One that got away, but always looked like potential than delivery
Jota - another we probably got who we shouldn't and as Cunha above.

I'm consistently told that Wolves sell the appeal of signing for the club along the lines of "do well here and we won't stand in your way when someone comes in for you".

I'd say that's very much the definition of a feeder club and I don't know of any other club that is as overt as Wolves in saying so.

Who tells you this? The club, the players, the agents?

 

[basher]

Well... those are obviously my words... and they are there to be taken figuratively rather than literally so if you want me to find an exact quote then I'm not going to be able to.

But unless I'm missing something? That is the business model that Wolves use so the evidence is there in plain sight.

RAN's fee dropped a big fucking hint
