Rumours from the pub

[5150]

Let’s see I’m sure you will all be happy

That did make me chuckle ! You do realise what forum you are on ?

 

[Perton Wolf]

Sa and Semedo would both be more than that together. I'd bet it would be closer to £70m, we're not sending them there as a bargain.

No they wouldn't.

Semedo is 30 with 1 year left on his deal.
Sa is a 31 year old GK.

You aren't getting £70m for those two, nowhere near. We bought Semedo for just under £30m a few years ago and his value has decreased since then. As for Sa, likely looking at a similar fee to what we sent Patricio to Roma for (£10m-£15m).

You're looking at £30m or so for the pair, maybe £35m at a push.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Haha!! We’ve been heavily scouting South America again. Neto is 100% leaving two clubs in for him…. So probably get a little cameo despite now being back fit.

Morgan Whittaker isn’t bad but that isn’t up to me

New info from a good source - Neto is fit to start against Palace. However he will get small cameo appearance to wave off the fans. 100% leaving two clubs in for him. You can speculate who they are.

The club is hoping to raise 100m in player sales and will be used to build the squad and other means.

Formation change Mosquera is 100% coming back and maybe used as a right back. New formation Gary apparently likes is with 4 centre halfs. He noticed Saturday how Man City bullied us. So for example Mosquera Bueno Dawson Toti - just an example

Stadium upgrade / renovation latest talk of the Molineux Quarter. This is speculation but the club are raising £100m to invest in infrastructure I think we can expect to hear soon

Fosun are serious about Wolves. They wouldn’t have wrote off club loans of quarter of a billion pounds if they was here for the short term. However they won’t run us like Man City.

The new kit… It’s a Jeff Shi idea.. SUDU. Still, if they feel it can generate higher revenues that’s good for the club!? Expect a range of casual clothing to go with the shirts. Sudu in Mandarin is speed…..

Still don’t see how building a journeyman mid-to-lower-table football team is going to ‘build the brand’. People like to be associated with success. Still, I guess it depends where you’re pitching your brand.

Four centre half’s with no pace. Excellent stuff.

Normal prices or Saudi prices?

The original rumour said £40m for Sa. I gets its not going to be that high, but I wouldn't be surprised with £20/25. In normal football transfers we wouldn't have got anywhere near what we did for Neves from a big club, his contract was running down too. Saudi massively pay over the odds. If we sell them Fabio I bet its for £15m, they'll think that's a bargain! Semedo is going for £15/20 and I bet we can at least break even on Sarabia if he goes too. That gives a range of £55-65m. So my first point of £70m I will agree is on the high side. But not by a lot

Four centre half’s with no pace. Excellent stuff.

Tony Pulis vibes

I shudder to say this but starting to feel rather as the Boggies' long-term PL stint evolved....

But having those guys be like they are, it means we can be slightly more attack focused and minded with wingers again!

So there are pros and cons to it!

We're doomed, Cap'n Mainwaring! Why not enjoy the ride rather than anticipate disaster?! Mile End has predicted great things, as has Northampton, who's been reliable before too. We've just been linked with Pogba ffs! Neves will return with Jota, Fabio will come great in 2 seasons, O Neill will take us to FA Cup glory before leaving us to coach Real Madrid, whilst Nuno returns and we beat them in the Champions League final. On a VAR referral.

Fosun will keep Molineux at Molineux , surrounded by parks, trees and the finest beers known to man (BFG).

Who knows? But, Fosun have been brilliant for us, so I'm choosing to keep faith. Let West Ham under Lopetegui go the Baggies route. And, by the way, let's hope people stay to applaud the team after tomorrow's game! Remember the sour taste last season when Moutinho wasn't there and Raul didn't come up? I hope tomorrow is a real connection between us and the squad and the coaches. Gotta love being a Wolves fan!

Some people are perma-optimists, some perma-pessimists and lots somewhere in between. As a Wolves fan l absolutely hope that you are right about a wonderful future but, and perhaps this is the scars of the last 50 years, rather doubt it.

I do though unequivocally agree with your last four sentences.

Not many fans have been through what we have over the years. For me, I'm going to enjoy this whilst it lasts. But I totally understand and share the fears too!

It ain´t happening until @Cornwall Wolf says so...

 

[Rubberball]

It was mentioned as something they want to try out. Because Gary wants us to be more physical…Vinny Jeff Hobbs all a very close circle. It’s going to make us huge revenue

This sounds horrific.

Both off and on the field.

 

[Rubberball]

Toti and Mosquera have no pace?

Dawson/ Bueno/ Kilman about as quick as a photo.

 

[Premier Quality]

No idea only passing on what was said. This has come from a good source though.

I didn’t realise teamtalk was still going

Not everything in life is GOSPEL LOL and that title of the thread suggests that.

Bueno and Kilman aren't particularly slow, just standard cb pace

Football transfers can collapse at any stage before the ink hits the contract…..

People forget that!

Not every transfer rumour pays off, but that doesn’t meanit was a lie for internet clout when it doesn’t.

Neves had two arsenal moves fall through after terms and conditions were initially agreed. Doesn’t mean the desire to make the move happen wasn’t real

Just read Transfer Thread. Never easy with Wolves! Looking forward to tomorrow, though

 

[Oliwolf44]

Hope everyone enjoys their friday night rumours at the pub this evening. Just remember not all is true and may be down to the hot weather and ales. There were vicious rumours that Aston Villa would add to their european cup this year.. sadly it was just a rumour
Enjoy and stay safe out there

 

[Skrilla]

If the four centre back rumour is true, I wouldn’t mind that at all. Man City and Arsenal do it with great success.

It effectively gives the players in front of them a lot more freedom going forward. We get very little productivity out of our wingbacks, so it would effectively allow us to play with an extra attacker without becoming defensively vulnerable.

Even better when those four centre backs have a bit of pace about them, especially Mosquera and Toti, would hopefully mean playing a higher line and transforming the way we play.

Valles
Mosquera Bueno Kilman Toti
Gomes Lemina
Amoura Cunha Rowe
Dia​

Sell Neto, RAN for £100m combined. Throw money at overhauling our forward line and getting a sweeper keeper in to enable us to play out from the back comfortably.

That Amoura is all over the waffle sites about west ham today.....I'm definitely taking that one with a pinch of salt.....think it agent talk myself...

What’s the four cb rumour?

 

[Skrilla]

See MEW earlier post in this thread. Although take with a strong pinch of salt!

I’m always weary of whatever MEW says after he correctly “predicted” Sasa and Nunes about six months before we actually signed them!

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

A bloke in the pub told me that Wolves are to be bought by a billionaire from dubai.

It will be announced formerly next week. It's allegedly Sheikh Hanvak. He wants to put the freshness back.

Didn’t that same post say Neto was playing tomorrow and he then got ruled out an hour later?

Fair point but it is in the rumours from the pub thread so it’s exempt from criticism!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I am told he’s fit they just don’t want to risk him as he’s already sold apparently.

Was told Neto is 100% leaving

Yes, it gets very tiring

@Cornwall Wolf any updates your sources? Hope you am well

Rumour, which I don’t believe, is season tickets are going up 15% !

 

[Perton Wolf]

Rumour, which I don’t believe, is season tickets are going up 15% !

12% has been doing the rounds for a while.

Either way, going to be a substantial increase, and for what?

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

the joy of being there

Just wait until our non brand shirts come out because I’d bet a ton of money they’ll be at Nike/adidas prices.

 

[rubyloo]

to watch the away fans having the time of their lives

 

[Tring Wolf]

Rumour, which I don’t believe, is season tickets are going up 15% !

Really interested to see what happens this year. Our refusal (or inability) to pay a modest loan fee for a striker in January has likely cost us somewhere between £8-12m in extra revenue.

Asking supporters to stump up an extra 15% to partially compensate that isn’t going to go down that well.

Fairly sure that the club wouldn’t be raising prices by anywhere near that amount though.

 

[Matt]

An increase of that size would be a disgrace.
