Surely we want experience

 

[the 15th Wanderer]

He’s albion, no thanks. Scott Carson would be cheap lol

Agreed, good keeper but hard to get get past his celebrations when they hung on to win at Molineux the other year.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Selling Sa and Silva to fund a new keeper, striker and Johnathan Rowe, would be a really good window

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Wonder if we could convince Bulka. Still under contract for 2 1/2 years though.

24 years old. 6'5. Having a huge breakout year in Ligue 1.

Worth 20m if we get 40m for Sa
Sell Silva get Dia
Bring in Rowe whatever change we have left from Guedes

 

[jackdusty]

If the Sa story is legit, how about we help out Everton with a £10m bid for Pickford !!

not happening at that price is it

Release clauses rarely get activated these days, they get massively inflated and it's just a way to protect the club's investment. It's different to their asking price. Barcelona by themselves have 4 players with a release clause of 1 billion euros

Read somewhere his club are hoping for up to €20million. Expensive but doable if he's that good.

If true, whilst technically (probably) all above board, after the Neves fee it has a bit of a dodgy look to it.

It's a Jorge 'special', which sometimes you benefit from and sometimes you are on the recieving end.of......but it will be all above board.......we are not the only club who gets them..

I wouldn't rule out our new keeper coming from a Jorge linked club .....with it being 20m for us and 20m passed on ...I'm hoping for the Valencia keeper .

 

[WKFWolf]

Beraldo - im sure i read somewhere that Sao Paolo need to sell so may accept 20m, which prompts our interest

We was quite heavily linked in the summer...

Let's hope this is smoother than the Gomes bid.

My nomination for Sa replacement as above.

Absolute Giant of a keeper and moves really well

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

A really skilful CB, but also strong and good in the air. I can imagine there will be plenty of interest, but you never know.

 

[Axle]

Sa is decent but at £40M you gotta go for it and use it to get a couple of players in. Will believe it when I see it though.

That stuff on Ramsdale seems worse than it is.

Goalkeepers are a bit eccentric at the best of times, it's not like their new keeper is any better than him.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1725811806948544561

Another high potential player well worth the €20m bid though. Will only get better if he plays. Does that mean we plan to move on Kilman for 40/50m?

Mosquera will be match ready when he comes back too. Hopefully people are not going to right him off like they did with Toti because he’s learnt in mostly a tinpot league

 

[Pengwern]

Wasn't that a Beautiful South song?

Can I call you Alison?

Given that he's a keeper is there a worst howlers one too? They all make them!

doesnt look like Neves is going anywhere

Has never fetched a transfer fee in his entire career.....

President ‘dreams’ of signing Wolves player - Willing to ‘make financial effort’, already tried in summer - Sport Witness

Sporting have set their sights on signing Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Pablo Sarabia, according to Leonine. The winger was on loan at the Portuguese club during the 2021/22 season, when he was owned by Paris Saint-Germain. During his loan spell at Sporting, the Spain international scored 21 goals...

i like him but again we signed him for a few million, would be a dream for FFP if we make a quick profit of 5-10m - imagine hes on decent wages too so could swap him out for another young and hungry Brazilian et al

 

[ombyman]

Apparantly rumours coming out of Villa that mings is about to retire!

£50 million for Kilman?!?!?!? Lol. What’s next, £100 million for Neto?!?!?

 

[WickedWolfie]

If that's true his injury must be much more serious than was thought.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

It's a rather weird post from him if it's just a set back to his return.

 

[QB Wolf]

Oh blimey feel for the guy if that's true

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Market prices keep increasing and we turned down 35m so clearly we want more money !?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Or we want the player!?

(Interesting punctuation marks gents).

Premier League set to ALLOW Newcastle to loan Saudi stars

Top flight chiefs met for hours of talks at a five-star hotel in London on Tuesday for what turned out to be a fascinating shareholders meeting, with a number of topics up for discussion.

You don’t really believe we turned down £35 million for him, surely? If that had been offered Jeff would have drove him there himself.

This stinks.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

This stinks.

Does it though? We can’t moan when we’ve benefitted from our relationship with Grasshoppers in blooding young players and no one kicked up a fuss with Watford and their link to Udinese or the network of clubs for Man City.

 

[WickedWolfie]

This stinks.

What the PL allow and what UEFA allow are likely to be two very different things.

Those clubs are still bound by FFP though the problem is that the Saudi clubs aren’t.

It’s one thing sending young players out to gain experience with a view to returning and playing for the parent club or being sold for a profit. What we’re talking about here is the circumvention of FFP rules, by Saudi clubs buying world class players just to loan them out to Premier League clubs they also own with no cost to the PL club. Newcastle could end up with a vastly improved team for free that they could never afford to buy within current rules
