Goncalo Guedes.

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

For the money it will cost, does he improve the starting 11 when everybody is fit? Does he even get in ahead of Podence, Neto, Raul and MGW?

Genuine question and not a negative post as I have no idea.

The answer is yes mate. He is class.

Id say if everyone is fit and we sign Guedes it'sRaul, Neto and Guedes. In fact with Raul out I'd expect Guedes to replace Hwang from yesterday..

It’s all about options though Ned, we can’t go through the season with no decent forwards on the bench and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of healthy rotation to keep them all happy.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

If the rumour about Neto to Arsenal to pay for him I'd rather keep Neto. MGW sold to pay for him wouldn't bother me but somebody is clearly going out I just hope it isn't Neto.

Imo, yes he would become one of the first names on the team sheet.

 

[Ned]

Cheers chaps, sounds like a good move. Just been reading up and looks like he can play across the front 3.

Depends on the fee for Neto, not that I think it likely he moves in this window. Fosun would want somewhere around £70m for him surely. For that money we could bring in three first team ready players including Guedes.

 

[Ponty]

I might spontaneously combust if we sell Neto!

 

[Glow69]

No way are arsenal paying for Neto after a blown knee cap with one full premier league 90 mins under his belt with the price we'd want for him

 

[Bill McCai]

Neto signed a new five year deal in March, he isnt going to Arsenal!!

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Yeah because a 5 year deal would have even the slightest influence, if Poundshop wants him out he'll be gone same with Kilman and RAN.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Wheres this Neto to arsenal rmour come from?
Would be a disaster to lose him

 

[sillytuna]

Sounds a good signing but if we're spending that kind or money we have to sort midfield out.

Don't think it means mgw or neto are leaving unless a crazy offer for neto, but coady must be on his way for decent money.

Yeah all those first teamer players that have been sold.

Probably from some random on Twitter, if at all, but of course for some on here that’s as good as written on stone if it fits their preconceived agenda.

Along with Neto, they must start if fit

Arsenal and Wolves poised amid 'huge Premier League offer' for Guedes

VALENCIA have confirmed star midfielder Goncalo Guedes is Premier League bound.

www.express.co.uk

Since Guedes is a very similar player to Neto and Jota (just compare their stats), it’s hardly surprising that it’s been suggested by some of our fans, by Arsenal fans, and by press like Sky and the Express. More likely given the timing, is that he’s coming in to replace MGW. As similar attacking players, Guedes (right footed like MGW) and Neto (left footed) would provide balance across the front, much as Collins and Kilman are similar players either side at the back.

Guedes has been linked with us for a long time, and it may be that his move was waiting on the sale of a forward. Likely was planned to be Traore, but his move to Barca fell through. Now that Forest are close to our valuation, then it looks like it will be him instead.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

This. Selling Neto…. **** off

 

[A wanderer from Bristol]

I can't see anyone buying Neto until he's proved his fitness and form over an extended period. He was out for the best part of a season, and he's only just beginning to look like his old self.

Yes, a 5 year contract doesn't guarantee he won't be sold, but it does allow the club to ask for silly money. And combined with the above, it means that there seems little logic to anyone buying Neto.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

The Athletic says we are closing in

Lol it’s thought it would free up space if Neto went ( like we need to free up space!!) and Arsenal are understood to have a long term interest. Just the usual unfounded speculative lazy journalism then.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Podence did exactly the same and lost the ball even more. But as he scored the goal people don't seem to think about that

For the most parts when Podence had the ball he held it, got his his head up and moved it on. Sometimes he tried the intricate pass to split the defence, and those don't always come off. He scored, he got himself into a position to score a second and produced a save from the keepers feet.

Gibbs-White, for the most part around 30 yards out with no defender on him did some stupid ****ing flick that went to their player. One of those flicks worked once, he played one decent pass forward and ballooned a header over.

 

[17miles]

Include Maxi Gomez in the deal ?

 

[Stourwolf]

Neto signed a new five year deal in March, he isnt going to Arsenal!!

Not a chance Neto leaves this window.

Perhaps, but understandable. I thought the same last night until I did a bit more research on Guedes and his stats/style. Now I see the potential symmetry with Neto, similar to Collins and Kilman at the back, I’ve changed my mind. The fact rumours are that Mendes worked this over the last few days suggests it’s linked to progress on Morgan leaving, but that’s just putting 2+2. Would prefer to keep Morgan and have the forwards competing for spots.

MGW yesterday

Progressive 5

Podence

MGW also made 6 progressive dribbles vs 1 for Podence.

Come on Wolves, get this one over the line. Please.

 

[Mugwump]

I'm still not getting the Belotti love in. He isnt the same player he was when we played them. He's had problems with one of his Knee's and he isnt particularly mobile these days. If we could get the version from 3 years ago i'd be all in on it. At the moment i see a player in decline physically.

Thought podence was very poor.MGW did ok…not brilliant, not awful.

 

[Glow69]

Can see this been tied up by tonight

 

[wwbug]

He can score, 7 for Portugal , 23 for Valencia.
He should bring at least another 8 goals to the team. More if he is used centrally.

This.

Surely Raul, Neto, Guedes, Podence, Hwang and either ADAMA, Batshuayi or MGW give us enough permutations?

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

He is about a 1 in 4 career goalscorer roughly ignoring his time at PSG where he didn't really get a chance. Not a striker, but as long as we get Batman in (love how we are all typing that so we don't **** up his name) as well should give us enough attacking options with MGW gone.

Just need a CM then

 

[hollo]

Neto signed a new five year deal in March, he isnt going to Arsenal!!

Neto 2027 no rush

It looks good until you look at their ability to score and be clinical.
Then its Raul ,Guedes and maybe Batshuayi - two of which are not yet Wolves players .

 

[Bugsy911]

He is a quality player and unlike our other wide options has a proven scoring record , brilliant signing if we can get it over the line.

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

It was on Sky Sports last week and also in the Express today.

Wasnt the sky sports rumour last week to do with arsenal showing an interest before neto got injured, and they were gonna make a move for him that summer
