Nunes to City

[Kebab Warrior]

Just **** off Fosun at this point

 

[A3wolf]

Don't think it would be that great a move for Nunes. When KDB gets back he could end up hardly ever playing like Phillips.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Caicedo, Lavia, Enzo, Rice ..... they've set the precedent.

Hold out for big bucks and preferable terms, or don't sell.

 

[so-called fan]

GON will hardly believe his luck, spent 70M in January with Bournemouth and will get to spunk the Nunes and Semedo money on dross here too.

Gary O'Neil spent roughly £50M in January, far less than we did, and Bournemouth were a newly promoted club who had not been able to strengthen properly due to the club changing hands and whose manager openly claimed to feel sorry for his players.

 

[Deak77]

Late to the party, but for what it's worth I think Nunes is POTENTIALLY a fabulous footballer, but he shows far too many times that he isn't willing to really work for the team. He tackles from the wrong side, loses the ball too easily by dribbling out of trouble when a simple pass was on (although I accept that his ability to wriggle out of challenges is fantastic... mostly!) and is imply unwilling to track back as quickly as opponents are sprinting forwards.

in a top side he will look fantastic, but for us, we need people who will do the hard graft AS WELL as the fancy stuff.

50m Euro in this current inflated market for midfielders is surely too low, but £60m would probably get it done ... especially if we have the pick of a couple of top City academy players.

Academy players just won't cut it for us at this point, we need Prem quality,ready to go straight into the team.

We don't want another dud like Hoever!

 

[Hot Fuss]

Bouby is nowhere near the quality of Nunes

I was being a **** mate.

 

[Poztin]

You don’t sell players you don’t want or need to for what they are “worth”.

 

[Wolf316]

Caicedo, Lavia, Enzo, Rice ..... they've set the precedent.

Hold out for big bucks and preferable terms, or don't sell.

Unless they want the cash and are worried City will move to another target.

 

[Timberwolf]

Not sure I’ll bother this season if this goes ahead.

A bit ****ed off I renewed.

I know someone…in fact a few people that’ll take your card off your hands.

 

[Minimalist]

Obviously Pep and Man City’s recruitment team know slight more than me!

But I really don’t see Nunes as a fit them.

His passing is awful.

I suppose he’s a bit like grealish, and they’ve made that work. But do they want 2 of those?!

IMO they would have been better off signing Neves.

 

[StraightToPopworld]

Would this sale sort out our FFP issues? Despite minimal profit, I assume FFP-wise our books would look much better with a €50million outgoing to offset the 5 x 10 million of his amortisation?*

*I have no idea what I’m talking about.

 

[Tring Wolf]

I unfortunately have absolutely no idea of remotely what's going on any more. Just very hopeful thinking... that's the deal I would be pushing for, for sure.

City wanting Mattheus could be a blessing in disguise. I think he is a wonderful player on his day, but we can singlehandedly wipe out any financial issues, and use Citys desire to get him to get one or more very promising players on loan from then. Hopefully with an option.

Does this single-handedly wipe out our financial issues? We got way more than we budgeted for with Neves, have made good money on other sales and cleared a number of our biggest earners off the wage bill.

Just how bad is our financial position that we now need to sell Nunes? Would all/any of the fee be reinvested?

 

[old wittonian]

A move to a top club was always the goal for Nunes, but the timing is nothing short of a disaster. Not because we are guaranteed relegation without him, but because we have absolutely no reason to believe the pending arrivals will be the right ones. These are very worrying times.

What pending arrivals?

 

[KBWWFC]

*I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Would think the remaining balance on him would come off the books straight away, so 50M doesn't get us that much extra wriggle room.

 

[we love jez moxey]

If we sell Nunes there won’t be time to invest in new players before the window closes.

It does seem as though we have players lined up though.

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

Not sure I’ll bother this season if this goes ahead.

A bit ****ed off I renewed.

Me too

 

[Skrilla]

If we can sell Nunes for £80m and use that £50m of profit to bring in 4-5 quality players to properly beef up the squad, I'm all for it. He's a special player on his day, but he's not consistent enough, and I've never been truly convinced that he wants to be here (in my opinion).

In reality, if we sell him for £45m, taking away 10% for Sporting, that's something like a £10m profit as his book value is currently in the region of £30m. That's barely affording us Josh Brownhill. Absolutely laughable.

It would singlehandedly wipe out the use of that as an excuse at least.

 

[Spitfire]

Absolute shambles .

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

At best we'll sign Brownhill and Elvedi, ****ing clowns

I think you’re being optimistic

 

[Summer_Wolf]

If this is the sale that triggers the rebuild , then so be it.
If we can make £20m on a player that had too few good games , and rarely looked like he wanted to be here. Then I'm not massively against it

Oh come on, there is going to be no rebuild! We've been spun these total lies the entire summer, and no sign of any signings. The money is going straight to China towers and **** Wolves it's team and it's fans.

The Nunes to Brownhill "FFP" downgrade will be brought to us by the same masterminds that sold Collins for 3M profit.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

We don't want another dud like Hoever!

That dud may not turn out to be a dud. Spells away from here have done him wonders.

 

[Rhyl Wolf]

What pending arrivals?

Therein lies the crux mate. If he departs for Maine Road and there are no significant incomings. Guo has well and truly washed his hands of Wolves. It's difficult to put any kind of positive spin on events as they stand, 20.54 on 23/08.

 

[jrpb-3]

Can’t disagree but the last 6 weeks of activity at Wolves give me “0” confidence there is any planning whatsoever

thats the problem really isn't it, with this news now circulating about him possibly going the new worry now is that we will sell but won't have anything ready in terms of replacement, maybe it would allow Elvedi deal to get over the line. But having more cover in defense whilst losing another midfielder and attacking link up would seem to be another step backwards

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Could understand the sale of the other players, this one I can not.

I am sure Wolves will spin the tale saying he wanted to leave or had something in his contact.

We are going in to a battle with no soldiers.... this season only heading one direction

 

[MasWolf]

You’d think so with the amount of moronic posts in this thread. Some people just can’t wait to have a moan at anything. Man City lodge a bid, for god sake semedo

I think it's because FOSUN have already shown us time and time again that they can't operate the club properly. Nobody trusts them.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Weird.

What’s weird is people want to keep Nunes and see us relegated. He doesn’t suit our style of play. Take the money and reinvest. Scored one worldy and the odd good game time we let go and take the profit. Mendes done us well here

Key we use the money though.

 

[floydstreet]

‪This if it happens will make everything clear. Nunes sold and we spend nothing and it’s clear this isn’t FFP it’s asset stripping. They sell him and invest in players, then maybe it’s pragmatism with a player always going to leave to strengthen the team.‬

 

[Royal wolf]

Why are Fosun being accused of asset stripping just because Man City have bid for one of our players? If we offered him to them then yes I’d understand.

 

[Glass ankles]

If we can sell Nunes for £80m

£80m?!?! Is that the rumoured figure?

**** me, he's worth no where near that.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

If we can sell Nunes for £80m and use that £50m of profit to bring in 4-5 quality players to properly beef up the squad, I'm all for it. He's a special player on his day, but he's not consistent enough, and I've never been truly convinced that he wants to be here (in my opinion).

Which is exactly what I expect to happen. A small fraction of his sale value spent on a cheap replacement, and the club will trot out the line that we still have FFP constraints, and point to the net book profit. The reality is that the club invested 40m in Nunes, so while they can argue that the book profit is say 10m and that’s all they can spend, they are in reality recovering 40m of investment at the same time. They have pushed a narrative on FFP through their trusted journalists, but in reality it was only ever a partial truth.

 

[Wolfenstein]

I’m not being rude but who?

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Why are Fosun being accused of asset stripping just because Man City have bid for one of our players? If we offered him to them then yes I’d understand.

Because they are unlikely to reinvest all of the sale proceeds back into the squad.

 

[Bryce]

Sell Randoph sell!
It’s the old gold crop not the orange crop and Shi is Beaks

 

[Mugwump]

If we get a good fee, I don't see the outrage. He hasn't set the world on fire here. Maybe get 50 million and throw in Doyle and Mcatee and it's not a bad deal.

 

[Wolf 82]

Why are Fosun being accused of asset stripping just because Man City have bid for one of our players? If we offered him to them then yes I’d understand.

I think they’re just a little concerned by all the outgoings and the lack of incomings.. added to that the rumours of Fosun’s cash issues and potential sale. I think most people just want to see a good Wolves team and decent football, and this summer has been quite a grim one.

 

[Wolfman jack]

My ST cost is tantamount to fraud. Even with the free hat and charging lead.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Because they are unlikely to reinvest all of the sale proceeds back into the squad.

Or, any of the sale proceeds, maybe?

 

[5150]

Why are Fosun being accused of asset stripping just because Man City have bid for one of our players? If we offered him to them then yes I’d understand.

Because they are guessing that the money isn't spent.
