He doesn't look very happy at the prospect

I think our agreement was for €20m or about £17m. Not excessive at all when compared to other signings we have made.

Maybe not comparably but in isolation it is a lot in my own personal opinion. RAN is a good comparison I think given both arrived with similar deals on the table at the same time. I believed he played more, showed more and we then managed to negotiate the fee down also. Compared to RAN I think he would have been too expensive at that price.

But hey, we all have opinions. Looks like he'll be some player and in this case you read it better than I did!

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Would be sad to see him go,but he isnt the player he was,still decent enough for a good fee though

Wolves to consider offers for star striker Raul Jimenez this summer

Jimenez, 31, made a miraculous return to competitive action after fracturing his skull in a collision with David Luiz in Wolves' match at Arsenal in November 2020, which left his life in danger.

Claims neves = 70 mil

And that Sporting want £21m for Palhinha.

Palhinha + £49m for Neves would soften the blow of him going as that would be a decent wedge towards other areas of the squad that need improvement.

Cant see us getting 70 mil for Neves closer to 50 would be my guess,be nice to be proved wrong though

The whole thing feels on a knife edge this summer, the whole of Fosun's era will be in the balance and all they have built over the last 5 years

Turning over a squad is so hard to do in this quantity... I still have faith, more than most, as I think with Mendes in our corner etc. and all we have sacrificed recently in terms of deals with him we have too much stock in our corner to let it all go south at this time... we're too well connected to just let the bottom fall out and too many are invested in our success to shaft us on transfers now

Its going to be some ride, but I'm staying calm and giving the benefit of a lot of doubt to get this recycle right and give Bruno the team he wants to change our playing style. I just don't see Mendes hanging us out to dry now... there's nothing in that for Gestifute to let it happen

A hell of a lot to do is right, biggest summer of recent times is here finally and I for one have already started my transfer therapy sessions to get me through it!

I see what your saying but clubs that tend to do it in this country are promoted clubs who sideline their players who got them there and **** them off and cause squad unrest in the process , we seem to be offloading ours first , it works in Europe time will tell if it works for us

I wonder if it'll be cash plus player like say a certain ex Valencia player Lee Kang-In.

Oh I agree, just saying if it was around that sort of figure it’d transform our budget this summer.

 

[NothingButNeto]

@Cornwall Wolf, any updates on the few signings we have been tied to (Shaktar and the two midfielders)? Just looking to get my hopes up.

Appreciate all that you do!

 

[AndyY]

Re Vitinha - i wasnt overly impressed when hecwas here, and not worth the fee, however Nuno seemed to play him in a CAM role when he did play whereas i thought he was supposed to be a Moutinho type defensive midfielder, ie we played him out of position. If we had signed him, he still would not have played much last season as Neves and Moutinho were first choice.
With Moutinho maybe going we would at least have his replacement already here.
Its called succession planning!!!

Re Raul - not surprised we are listening to offers but if we add Raul to the list of outgoings (Saiss, Moutinho, Neves, Ruddy), added to the poorer form of Boly and Donk not exactly pulling up trees, and Traore likely to go then thats the spine gone and we have to really get lucky with every single transfer in. How likely is that?
Oh and Bruno wanted to add quality to what we have to have two decent players per position. Not going to happen is it.

 

[Glow69]

Gotta keep Raul, can't get rid of every ounce of experience.

Villa confirm Diego Carlos deal

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Villa confirm Diego Carlos deal

Mix meltdown incoming

 

[Loefah]

Villa know how to get a deal over the line, I’ll give them that.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Mix meltdown incoming

Pointless as no comparison, Villa owners prepared to spend to progress, wisely or not, ours aren't.

 

[Bugsy911]

Villa confirm Diego Carlos deal

Is that now the 3rd signing in 2 weeks......plus what was it 4 in the January window ?

How the hell are they getting away with spending so much money ?

 

[TheConcourse]

You don’t get points for getting deals done early, but you’d think with the volume of work we’d have to get through then news will start flowing soon.

 

[WKFWolf]

Another 30m on a guy who won't have that resale value, turns 30 next year I believe. Another short term fix probably on high wages. They never learn do they. Bits being done

 

[theweave]

Good signing that and a lot cheaper than Newcastle offered in January

 

[HowfenWolf]

Villa confirm Diego Carlos deal

If you make the moves you get the players. That's called having a plan rather than waiting for Jorge's dregs that no-one wants

 

[Scallywolf]

Not hanging around are they. Kamara signed as well.

Mings may be on borrowed time!

It shows Villa must have made plans for these 2 signings (and probably more) months ago. I just hope we have been the same.

Yeah cause their track record for successful buys is cracking aint it.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I thought Carlos was like 22!

Never seen him play but he's highly rated.

Let's hope for their sake that it isn't a repeat of Ings, Buendia and Bailey, who probably have lost 2/3 of their retail value!

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Fair play to them.

CB & DM were seen as the two weaknesses in the eyes of many and they r gone and got two players who you would’ve thought were out their reach.

Fantastic signings.

 

[hollo]

Rafa silva is 29 and the 20 million fee will be dead money. We are jealous of villa.

 

[KBWWFC]

Never seen him play but he's highly rated.

He gave away the penalty in the Europa QF Vs us.

He was also the player who encroached and cleared the ball.

Yes, that's the one thing I think Villa are much better at.

Their transfers have a hilarious ability to be useless, but they actually seem to have a plan that they enact early.

The plan has been tosh up until now, but at least they have a plan! Whenever I hear someone at Wolves telling us to trust the plan, I think of a bid for Kiefer Moore at 1030 on deadline day

that’s the crux ..spending wisely or just spending?

 

[ANONYMOUS☆WOLF]

They will get it right eventually, can't fault the ambition of the owners at villa ... while we just dither until deadline day then make excuses again *sigh*

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Ooohhhh. Was that him? Thought it was Kounde

 

[Rhoswolf]

Yeah cause their track record for successful buys is cracking aint it.

So interesting question, would you prefer Villa's owners who are prepared to continue spending big, wisely or not, or Fosun who need to sell our best player to invest, not to mention the fee for Hwang?

100% him.

Bombscare of a defender.

Villa once again paying the asking price and throwing good money after bad, just like with Ings last year.

Never comes back to haunt them though.

 

[Matt]

Some fantastic early business, fair play.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Guess irrelevant if not spending without selling, not to mention spending on Hwang.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I would be surprised and a bit peeved if we sign Rafa. A 29 year old whose main attribute is his pace is never a wise buy.

The one buy Villa made of whom I was truly jealous was Digne. Think he's brilliant. I just don't think buying 7/10 29 year olds is a good strategy. If they don't hit the ground running, you're ****ed. My instinct is they will do an Everton but I thought they would be top half last season so my instincts are really right

You're absolutely right - just rewatched. What a horrible tackle....just needed to leave Traore and he'd have skied it

 

[Glow69]

Couldn't give a **** about big prices just to say we are splashing the cash. Id be even more annoyed with their track record and potentially have an affect on the club down the line? Nah your alright, pay within our means, if sell to buy Is the way so be it.
