It's got a wink face. Could saying that all it took was time for Flamengo to give him his wish.

Sounds to me he’s on his way to us lol

I agree. He posted this at like 11pm his time. Long after a meeting took place with Textor which was reported as happening this afternoon. I feel like if he agreed to join Lyon this afternoon, something would have came out by now.

But to play devil's advocate, I guess it could mean he went home to think about it and around 11pm decided that after all this time, Lyon is the choice.

We should send Steve Bull and some Orange chips

IMO, owners of clubs very rarely travel to just a possible transfer target, unless it just needs a bigger cheque to get it over the line.
How many times have we heard of Guo going to personally secure a 'potential' transfer target? or any owner, Glazer, J.Henry etc.

Say I own a club, I want a player, who has said no multiple times to my connected agents, DoF and CEO, the only reason I'm flying there is if I've been told directly that my personnel guarantees and cheque book WILL get this deal over the line, otherwise I aint going to embarrass myself to come back empty handed?

Obviously I really hope I'm wrong though

The last time we won anything was the Sherpa Van Trophy, if we win this, I hope we have an open top bus tour of the city

We’ve won the play off final and the league a few times since then!

Shi went to Spain to personally convince Loppy to join us earlier in last year and came back empty-handed. It happens. Luckily, Loppy saw sense and as his father' health improved, he changed his mind.

Of course, that depends on your definition of winning…….

wasn’t so long ago that we thought Guedes signing was a win situation.

We’ll never know, but I suspect that Guo had a direct hand in JL’s change of mind.

We all thought he was a hard working goal scorer…

That's my point bro, Shi went, the CEO. Not Guo, the owner. The owner of the club has gone over to see him.

He does have a stake in a rival Brazilian team so probably didn’t fly out just for Gomes

If that were true, it would prove my point too. owners stepping in ain't good for us in this instance

 

[SA Wolf]

I read somewhere that Textor and the owner of Flemengo were personal friends, though. That may explain it!

 

[Loojay]

If he pulls this off, Joao Gomes is an absolute legend.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Forget the term ’owners’………just a different word for ‘the suits’. ………those in charge.

Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad.

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Glass half empty: The owner has gone to see him. I remember a Forest fan saying that they'd get MGW because the owner was determined and wouldn't have his ego dented by a rejection.

Glass half full: 'Time is a teacher.' Time has finally taught Lyon he's coming to Wolves.

 

[arctic rime]

Let's see, fingers crossed.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

We’ve won the play off final and the league a few times since then!

And we won that very important Pre season, Asian trophy thingy when we beat city on pens lol

 

[Royal wolf]

Imagine if he flops

 

[Newportwolf]

Imagine if he flops

I’ll call it now…….IF he comes…after his first 25 min sub appearance he will regret it as he becomes the next scapegoat on the conveyor belt!!

 

[Ned]

In fairness we signed Cutrone.

And Guedes.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

if and big if he has finally userped flamengo into signing for wolves, id love him in by friday gives him a week training should have bedded in for the biggest february of wolves league seasons for a long time

 

[wwbug]

Shi and Sellars as played by Roger Moore and Tony Curtis .

Hahaha. I remember when we signed Raul before the World Cup and he came on as a sub vs Germany on the right wing - I genuinely said to my dad “oh God, looks like we signed a donkey”.

So yea, I make you right!!!

 

[ombyman]

Imagine if he is a donkey after all this palava

But the Lyon owner has already spoken to him, and he said he wants to go to Wolves. Remember Textor has other interests in Brazil, as he owns a club there too. Also, as reported in a previous post, there is a political dance going on amongst different groups of clubs in Brazil over control of the league, and he is involved in that as is Flamengo. So showing up in person can serve multiple purposes, not just because he thinks he’s going to secure a player who frankly Lyon don’t need.
