Rumours from the pub

[bod101]

Here’s my rumour. It doesn’t make loads of sense and no idea of the reliability of the source although it’s fairly direct:
Sa wants out, isn’t happy and is fairly vocal about it

if being played behind bentley i wouldnt be surprised if he's not happy

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Which makes sense IF club are confident podence is on his way

I’ve been told for a bit that Scott’s preferred choice is to join us. Podence much like Johnny are hard players to get rid of purely as they’re on big wages and the latter is a gamble even on a free with his injury record.

Our only hope with jonny is saudi, or we have to pay towards wages. Tbh he'd be a good loan target but unfortunately injuries put an end to his career really.

 

[wolfslair]

Don’t shoot the messenger I pass this in utmost good faith but my ITK says Scott deal is back on and to be concluded after the weekend.

So crazy conspiracy theory whatever…..

But could the fall out from the statement (hasn’t been all positive comments) plus the speed of the JL walking news stories into the MSM, have caused this?

 

[JamesWolves]

Sure someone said on another thread that Podence will be moved after the weekend.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Thanks for sharing.. hopefully has legs.

Edit: just googled Alex Scott and looks like he has 2 of them.

I googled Alex Scott's legs. That's my morning done.

I googled Alex Scott's legs. That's my morning done.

Which Alex Scott though, male or female

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Sa isn’t part of the leadership group get his number two is. that has to sting

Makes sense to be fair.

I'm ok with Sa leaving, so long as we get a good replacement but he's certainly not a priority.

Maybe next season. Need Sa to have a stellar season like his 1st one again.

Wonder if it’s because Bournemouth are signing that lad from Italy?

Has nobody told Scott we're a shambles?

 

[Dan G WWFC]

From what I've heard, it's not going to get any better this season. But, Hobbs has been to China and with Lopetegui still putting pressure on. Maybe we can squeeze something out. FFP is a big factor in this win

Don’t shoot the messenger I pass this in utmost good faith but my ITK says Scott deal is back on and to be concluded after the weekend.

I heard we do have FFP issue but it's been mainly down to Fosun wanting some money back after they've viewed us as a bad investment. With Hobbs going over to China earlier this week and Lopetegui pushing too. Hopefully they've convicted to them to free up a touch of money. Just to help protect the investment!

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Has nobody told Scott we're a shambles?

Clearly not seen the new Wolfie yet

 

[Wolf 82]

Has nobody told Scott we're a shambles?

Maybe his decisions are informed by wanting to play alongside Portuguese and Brazil internationals.. and not the Daily Mail?

Fosun do not view Wolves as a bad investment whatsoever.

 

[JamesWolves]

We need someone to get in there and hide it until he's the contract, operation hide the fox begins

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Let’s hope he’s never heard of Molineux Mix or we’re toast

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Fosun do not view Wolves as a bad investment whatsoever.

Not wolves themselves but the recent investment they've put into us, they're not happy with the outcome

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Let’s hope he’s never heard of Molineux Mix or we’re toast

Alex Scott is @WeAreTheWolvesII

 

[MattH]

Not wolves themselves but the recent investment they've put into us, they're not happy with the outcome

Surprised Jeff hasn't been swapped out for some other suit by now. I suppose a possible profit on Silva and Nunes next summer would make things look a lot better, but right now Wolves must look like a money pit to Fosun.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Alex Scott is @WeAreTheWolvesII

Christ in that case there’s more chance of seeing Jimmy Saville holding up a wolves shirt on signing day than Scott.

 

[SWest Wolf]

Don’t shoot the messenger I pass this in utmost good faith but my ITK says Scott deal is back on and to be concluded after the weekend.

But I thought he regards Wolves as a club that is going backwards?! (Tongue in cheek comment as one poster yesterday alluded to the fact Scott sees us as a shambles and backward step compared to Bournemouth)

 

[sillytuna]

Not wolves themselves but the recent investment they've put into us, they're not happy with the outcome

Which is true - we totally messed up last summer and not surprised they want to see things done better.

 

[Houston Lobo]

Clearly not seen the new Wolfie yet

Or given how young he is, he falls into the target demographic and really loves it? Could’ve been the deciding factor. Masterstroke!

 

[UEAwolf]

if being played behind bentley i wouldnt be surprised if he's not happy

I can't see how Sa stays if Lopetegui stays - plainly unsuited to the demands of playing out from the back and the GK being comfortable on the ball.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Makes sense to be fair.

I'm ok with Sa leaving, so long as we get a good replacement but he's certainly not a priority.

Maybe next season. Need Sa to have a stellar season like his 1st one again.

i don’t rate him at all, but struggle to see where we can upgrade cheaply

 

[WickedWolfie]

Sadly I doubt Nuno feels too inclined to do us any favours after the way we treated him.

Wolves he might be inclined to do a favour. Fosun and particularly Jeff Shi though could well be a whole different story....

 

[WickedWolfie]

Thanks for sharing.. hopefully has legs.

Edit: just googled Alex Scott and looks like he has 2 of them.

Even the previous much-maligned (probably for good reason) Wolves medical staff would hopefully notice if that wasn't so...

 

[WickedWolfie]

Which Alex Scott though, male or female

The latter are much more aesthetically appealing to this old reprobate, lol ...

 

[Ponty]

Wolves he might be inclined to do a favour. Fosun and particularly Jeff Shi though could well be a whole different story....

But you can’t do one without the other.

 

[johnnybetchas]

Yes, I agree - I'd quite happily give her a medical!

 

[yateleywolf]

Our only hope with jonny is saudi, or we have to pay towards wages. Tbh he'd be a good loan target but unfortunately injuries put an end to his career really.

Thought most loans the parent club still contributed a percentage of the wages. That closer it gets to the season the more likely its too happen to save on the wages.

 

[rincewind]

Don’t shoot the messenger I pass this in utmost good faith but my ITK says Scott deal is back on and to be concluded after the weekend.

Interesting that he apparently has a slight injury and may not play tomorrow. Very convenient IF your source knows something.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

There’s no hard fast rule on it. Completely depends on the player and his wage.

 

[Golden_Wolf]

i don’t rate him at all, but struggle to see where we can upgrade cheaply

Especially as its not a priority position. Unless we get a great offer, or starts causing problems, and could tempt either Henderson or Navas, think this best put on hold.

 

[CodsallWolf]

Maybe his decisions are informed by wanting to play alongside Portuguese and Brazil internationals.. and not the Daily Mail?

Well he only has to listen to Lopetegui unfortunately.

 

[AndyY]

if being played behind bentley i wouldnt be surprised if he's not happy

But to be fair, squad players also need match sharpness, too, and several other squad players played on Wednesday so i dont see that as a big deal. And the new GK coach needs to assess his group, too.
More relevant is the fact that these rump#ours have been around since the end of last season, I thibnk, and there were rumours of a Forest bid a few weeks ago.

 

[AndyY]

I’ve been told for a bit that Scott’s preferred choice is to join us. Podence much like Johnny are hard players to get rid of purely as they’re on big wages and the latter is a gamble even on a free with his injury record.

Could we move Jonny on if we continued to pay part of his wages for the remainder of his contract period with us? Not ideal, i know but better than nothing and gets a non-HG player off the books.

 

[AndyY]

Not wolves themselves but the recent investment they've put into us, they're not happy with the outcome

We are still in the PL!!! And going forward the best we/ they can realistically expect is that we continue to be and at the outside have a bit of a cup run and, maybe, make the Europa Conference League once in a while.

 

[Derbywolf85]

Don’t shoot the messenger I pass this in utmost good faith but my ITK says Scott deal is back on and to be concluded after the weekend.

Not questioning the source, but does the source have good, reliable history?

 

[AndyY]

Which is true - we totally messed up last summer and not surprised they want to see things done better.

Hobbs was appointed in November ISTR and we seem to have done far better since then.
Hopefully the recent trip to China convinced Fosun of that, too.
