Here’s the E&S version - must have gotten Fosun approval.
You’d think the club would be if they were 100% wanting to keep him. They haven’t so we aren’t 100% on keeping him.Will someone tell Forest to **** off? Like an irritating little brother.
Fair enough, the £35m price tag was our favour back to Mendes so yea, neither should really be used.I think we can. People use the silva £35m price tag
But get your point. It was a ‘favour’
Presumably the Summer transfers have hinged and continue to hinge on Ruben.
Sell him (for £60m say) and we suddenly can buy Nunes (or equivalent) plus a £20m striker and a back-up midfielder.
Don’t sell him and we suddenly are looking for a much cheaper striker option and back-up midfielder.
Not redebating why we let Silva go but can understand challenges.
Do we buy now assuming Neves stays and then find he goes and suddenly who we want/can access changes.
Personal view is we’ll limp through the next couple of weeks with limited strikers/false no. 9 and then things will pick up.
As Nuno said when we bought in Bonatini the day before the season started the easiest player to integrate is the striker (although still would like him earlier!).
Still glass half full and no pitchforks. Late August might be onto half-hourly refresh though….
"It is expected that Wolves' transfer activity will move quicker once the season has started."Here’s the E&S version - must have gotten Fosun approval.
He will be 30 before the end of August"It is expected that Wolves' transfer activity will move quicker once the season has started."
Couldn't be much slower!
I've never seen this lad play or heard of him before. 29 year old is slightly odd for us so imagine it would be cheap.
I just can't see any major money being spent on transfers until external investment comes in.
That's not to say we can't sign good players, but it needs excellence from our scouting team.
Got this In my head now - tune!Finish fifth or finish sixth
We’ll finish bottom said The Mix
Gold and Black and sometimes white
They would always win the fight
Hwang Hwang, they’ll shoot you down
Hwang Hwang, you’ll hit the ground
Hwang Hwang, that awful sound
Hwang Hwang, the Wanderers shot you down
They said the same in January about the summer
We need the moneyYou’d think the club would be if they were 100% wanting to keep him. They haven’t so we aren’t 100% on keeping him.
I’m struggling to understand why we aren’t moving before the rebuild becomes an absolute monster. The only logic that I can apply is that Fosun want out. Or the market is just very very tough to do deals.
The wait until the last minute strategy that served us so well last summer.
Interesting though keen has confirmed about hwang and the suggested another 4 being tabbed. Looks like its been given the ok by wolves/fosun.We do a hell of a lot of 'monitoring' and 'keeping tabs'.
A bit more 'signing' and 'announcing' would be marvellous.
Was does ‘monitoring’ even mean? Just bull**** newspaper speak for ‘we rang their chairman and offered a hypothetical years supply of scratchings…We do a hell of a lot of 'monitoring' and 'keeping tabs'.

I think it’s possible we get Hwang over the line before Leeds - maybe he’s announced at Leeds like Hwang was.Interesting though keen has confirmed about hwang and the suggested another 4 being tabbed. Looks like its been given the ok by wolves/fosun.
So i would expect movement by next week and before Fulham
i mean im clutching at straws put maybe they are doing football analysis on players, and see if they fit lages model, no idea. Looking at stats, duels won etc etcWTF is there to "monitor" and "keep tabs on" with regards to a 30-year-old from the French 2nd division?
Without being hyper critical I would expect that work to be done already.i mean im clutching at straws put maybe they are doing football analysis on players, and see if they fit lages model, no idea. Looking at stats, duels won etc etc

Fair. I think they’re also relaxed about him leaving too.You’d think the club would be if they were 100% wanting to keep him. They haven’t so we aren’t 100% on keeping him.
Good looking bench that.If Saturdays first eleven is as most think, we can add to the squad ( subject to injuries/ sales )
Raul
Traore
Semedo
Boly
Coady
Toti
Sarkic
Mosquera
Cundle
Hwang
Add a couple of new signings and that’s it .
It's probably retrospective scouting, for all the players we're interested in:WTF is there to "monitor" and "keep tabs on" with regards to a 30-year-old from the French 2nd division?!
Don't be silly you can just rock up and buy players in five minutes like you do on Fifa or Football Manager, that's how it worksIt's probably retrospective scouting, for all the players we're interested in:
And then it'll be sounding the player out, probably informally at first:
- Watching footage of old games
- Checking stats, injury record, disciplinary record etc
- Speaking to people who've seen him play/played with him/against him
- Speaking to people who know his character
- Background checks
And then there's the bureaucratic stuff:
- Are they interested?
- Would they be happy with the position/tactics we have in mind for them?
- Would they be happy in the area?
- What sort of wage/signing on fee?
- What length contract?
- Will they be ok not starting every game?
- Is there anything we could put in place to help them on or off the pitch?
Doing due diligence before making the offer reduces the chances of getting burned when the transfer's almost completed and then not having time to get second option, or having to panic buy/pay over the odds.
- Will they get work permit?
- Are selling club trustworthy?
- Does selling club have any debts that might hold things up?
- Are there any complicated rights or third party ownership agreements that might hold things up?
- Are any other third parties going to emerge last minute to hold things up/demand money?
- Is agent trustworthy?
are they ITK ?My 6 year old could have written is latest Athletic piece!
These articles were clearly planted by Fosun to let Bordeaux know we don’t “need” Hwang as we have other targets we are working on. This way Bordeaux can’t raise the price to an absurd level that we could no longer afford.It's probably retrospective scouting, for all the players we're interested in:

Barca are in ****e, if its true they have offered depay, de jong and aubameyang to chelsea, they need players off the books by 13th for registering kounde etc.
