Might be worth watching on their webcam to see how many seconds it takes for that gibbering moron Saunders to zone out when GON starts talking tactics (which he will)

 

[BridgnorthWolf Inc]

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[groundhogwolf]

I was going to say a meeting of 2 great football minds, but that would make O’Neil schizophrenic

 

[Flump]

Ugh... I want to listen to GON, but I'm very happy having not heard S******s speak for a few years now. Tough one.

"Financially we don't need to lose our best players. No one will be leaving if it doesn't suit us".

 

[Ginger Chimp]

"No-one leaving if it doesn't suit us"

"No need to sell this summer, we're in a better position"

Indicated that everyone has their price though ...

True for every club at our level unfortunately.

 

[bigbluewolf]

Every player always has a selling price.

 

[Ginger Chimp]

"Team has to cope in different situations. Don't just want to be a counter attacking team"

"I'll share my view of what's required so the boys can make good decisions"

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Of course, that's true.

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

Good watch. Dean sound ok

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

Every player always has a selling price.

Villa sold Grealish. Spurs sold Kane.

Which shows every player has their price - and importantly, every player has their own ambitions too.

In both cases it appears that the clubs benefitted from the sales by selling their best players because:-

1) They got excellent prices for the sales

2) They reinvested the proceeds into the playing squad.

Another good interview with Gary. We’ve heard enough of them now to know much of what he will say, but I think he still does great in interviews. A sign that he’s a cut above many is that when asked multiple questions, he doesn’t forget to answer all parts, even if answering one part is fairly complex. Beyond that, his answers are credible and make sense, which is more than can be said for many coaches.

 

[Scallywolf]

Apparently, Mbappe doesn’t.

He’s the highest costing free transfer player in history when he goes to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

End of his contract ant PSG and receiving over £100million signing on fee if reports are to be believed.

All free agents are the same. He would have had a selling price if PSG could have sold him (obviously!)

Mbappe appears to let his contract expire so he can get a mahoosive signing on fee instead of just a huge one.

Next season will be interesting for sure. Expectations will be higher he (fingers crossed) will have some backing and a full preseason too

Mbappe made it no secret he wasn’t signing! He gave them a chance to sell him on a few occasions and if rumours are to be believed his agents even had a deal lined up and all that was needed was for PSG to accept it! They didn’t.

The fact he is leaving for free is way more at the door of PSG than on Mbappe for waiting it out for more money which he is well within his rights to do.

 

[WolvesinBrum]

It's a different Wolves world now but if Lage, after a nowhere near as promising season, was backed to the extent of the cost of Collins, Guedes, Sasa and Nunes, they'd be no sense or justice in not giving Gary backing with Pedro being sold plus a bit more.

 

[MickHolmesFanClub]

I think they will back GON in the transfer market in the summer but don't expect a return to the days of the big transfer fees we saw for the likes of Nunes and Guedes. It's more likely to be a collaborative approach between GON, Matt Hobbs and the rest of the recruitment team

And, to be fair, why shouldn’t a player leave on a free? They’re not cattle.

Now I was once told not to worry about making mistakes,that’s when you learn the most
Jeff’s biggest mistakes were Fabio and Sellers God has he learned from them
Hobbs and O’Neil a team that know what they are doing so I have faith
Reckon Jeff will have learned a very valuable lesson

To be honest I'd find that more reassuring if I thought he had any control or influence over sales. He clearly didn't know (so hadn't been honestly told) the situation going into the last transfer window.

The business model now says Neto goes for a big profit this Summer. To be fair we shouldn't moan about it, because that is exactly how we were told it was going to work from the day Fosun took over.

Thing is, it has to be the way forward for most clubs.

To be honest we probably should have cashed in on players before when they were at the height of their value. Raul, Adama, Neves are 3 examples. It’s unpopular when it happens with fans seeing it as lack of ambition.

Reality is if you do it well, buy cheap gems and sell for big profits you can build. It’s difficult to keep doing it, but Brighton are a good example of that model. Southampton were, but you have to consistently buy well. Very difficult.

I don't think 'faith in the manager' has always been directly proportional to investment though - I suspect external factors outside what happens at Molineux will dictate what we spend this summer (and every other)

The difficulty with that is that you never really know when a player is at the height of their value.

 

[Supadavewolf]

And, to be fair, why shouldn’t a player leave on a free? They’re not cattle.

That includes Steve Bull, Villa's Moo-sa Diaby, and the Cowdenbeath squad.





Sorry

I thought that PSG tried to sell him but he refused to leave - but who knows?

 

[Wolf316]

I thought that PSG tried to sell him but he refused to leave - but who knows?

He was on the verge of leaving for Madrid a couple of seasons ago but was offered a ludicrous offer to stay and it was also rumoured that Macron spoke to him personally to ask him to stay.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

GON will get backing

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

GON will get backing

Excitement in my body

 

[arctic rime]

GON will get backing

So I’ve heard as well

 

[Berlin Wolf]

GON will get backing

Probably using the money we get for Neto!
Keeping Neto, and fully backing GON with fresh money to bolster the first team this summer would be great!. But probably will be sell to buy.

Sorry

Frie(sian) Joao Gomes!

 

[ombyman]

GON needs backing...or he will be off!

(As long as his stock stays high. He is clearly very ambitious)

 

[ombyman]

Frie(sian) Joao Gomes!

Wayne Mooney?

 

[QB Wolf]

This is udderly stupid!

Evolution, not revolution for me. If we can somehow move Sasa, Fabio, Guedes and start to build a pot .. we don't NEED wholesale changes. One or two to really push the first team would be great, but our cover options means the quality often falls off a cliff.

More to come from JRB and Bouba hopefully, sign Doyle permanently and the MF is looking decent. Noha Lemina might be a revelation after working with Gary.

Forwards, forwards, forwards....

You forgot Moo-therwell!

After all, you started it.
