What players will want to leave ?

[derbyrameater]

Plenty of fan talk about players they want to get rid of, maybe some players will want to leave ?

 

[reanswolf]

Neves (£35m), Patricio (£10m), Traore (£40m), Moutinho (free), Boly (£20m), in my opinion.

Might raise £100m. Plus another £10m from Vinagre, Cutrone etc.

Gives a good war chest of £110m potentially to buy 5 replacements at around £20m each (keeper, CB, 2 x CMs, winger) or 4 at £30m each.
Plus I'd buy Alt Nouri if we can.

 

[Sheriff Woody]

John Ruddy.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Convincing key players like Neves, Neto and Raul to stay will be one of the first and most important tasks for the new manager.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

I think Neto would have looked to move this summer if it wasn't for the injury. Traore, Neves and Dendoncker might, especially if they have good Euros and their stock is high. Saiss might want one last contract somewhere. Boly, possibly. Raul and Coady will definitely want to stay, I feel.

Who’s wants to leave? Who knows? Maybe none.
Too many variables and unknowns this time around, isn’t there?

Personally, I am taking a wait-and-see attitude for the next several months. Guessing or having unreasonable expectations in the face of much uncertainty won’t help me......I’d probably be setting myself up for disappointment.

For example, Wolves top 3 targets for a new manager might not be available.....so they might have to settle, just like in any transfer window.

 

[JayStringer]

To be honest, unless there are already moves in place, it comes down to who the club appoint. Is it someone the players are excited to work with? Is it someone who comes in with a clear vision for improving the players?

Also, depending on the size of manager coming in, keeping some players might be part of the deal. Would a Fonseca or Benitez want to walk into a club about to sell Neves? My guess is that if it's Lage, then we're about to see a large sale of star players and funds used to regenerate a youthful team with a low net spend. If it's one of the bigger names, they will want to keep hold of most of the star players and still have money to spend on top.

 

[MasWolf]

Due to injuries, Raul and Neto won't be leaving this summer. Clubs won't buy players who are currently injured, or are coming back from injury. I think we have to do everything we can to keep Neves; although I think the club will look to sell him (big mistake in my opinion). Apparently the Traore contract talks are back on, so that's a good sign; but I doubt he will sign till after the Euros.

I’m in the same position as you. I did this thread to counter the many about who the fans want gone And a reminder it is a two way street.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Is £100m a good war chest still?

Near £40m of that would go on signing Vitinha and RAN, so we’re down to £60m just to stand still.

We don’t need any more ‘potential’ we need first team ready if we genuinely want to improve on this season’s finish. At best for £60m you’ll get three first team ready players, I’d say it would be closer to two players though. So that’s potentially £100m not to significantly improve our squad size.

I anticipate we'll be using the loan market, as we have done every season under Fosun.

And in general how effective has that been at PL level apart from Johnny and Raul?

Was great in the Championship... but not so effective at the top level.

 

[Burton Wolf]

Neto and Raul won't leave this summer due to injuries.

 

[Narfolk Wolf]

Surely they will want to see if we are still as ambitious before making a decision.

Well that's a different conversation all together. Whether you believe it has been effective or not, I'm sure FOSUN will stick to this method considering how much our squad needs to change, yet with seemingly little money available.

Exactly. That is why I’m not confident about this squad rebuild our fans are talking about.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Has anyone at the club actually said there is no money to spend? Or is it just rumours?

What do you think? It's a rumour and a depressing one at that so of course quickly becomes gospel.

 

[lets all have a disco]

I think by January the latest we may be taking the portugese flag off the top of the Steve bull stand....

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Players follow the money. This will be like the zenga era. Tons incoming and leaving

 

[Supadavewolf]

I think by January the latest we may be taking the portugese flag off the top of the Steve bull stand....

... and replacing it with a Spanish one, as we celebrate Rafa taking us to 8 points clear at the top of the Prem.

Perhaps......

 

[Supadavewolf]

I think by January the latest we may be taking the portugese flag off the top of the Steve bull stand....

... and replacing it with a Welsh one, as we celebrate Dean Saunders - and what a leftfield appointment that was as Head Coach - taking us to 15 points clear at the top of the Prem.

OK, maybe not....

 

[Rednal Wolf]

I think they'll wait to see who gets appointed and decide from there. If it's Lage I should imagine they'll be off quick sharp...... Cheap option, little experience, can't see them buying into it.
If its a big name with a reputation in the footballing world, a recognised coach who can improve them holistically then we stand a far greater chance of retaining key players

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Neto and Raul will stay until they prove their post injury fitness, so no convincing necessary.

100%

On the molineux view, I forget who the bloke was, but he basically said that we have no money

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

If anyone leaves I hope that Fosun dont let any go cheaply. Some of the figures I have seen guessed on here are far too low.

 

[5150]

Of course they haven't.... its the usual on here.
One person sees it as a random post from someone on SM and then announce it to the world as gospel.

 

[Incognito]

Neves (£35m), Patricio (£10m), Traore (£40m), Moutinho (free), Boly (£20m), in my opinion.

Might raise £100m. Plus another £10m from Vinagre, Cutrone etc.

Gives a good war chest of £110m potentially to buy 5 replacements at around £20m each (keeper, CB, 2 x CMs, winger) or 4 at £30m each.
Plus I'd buy Alt Nouri if we can.

So basically sell our best players. This would be suicidal. Need to raise funds by selling Coady, Donk, Saiss and Podence, plus all the folk out on loan.

Depends who comes in.

The supposed want for a lage -)) squad next season I see the Donks and the Saiss' of the squad become just that,squad fillers.

Maybe the players are looking forward to a new "shackles off" brand of football.

Only downside to this is a less "organised" defensive set up so we will need to sign better (less dependent of deep midfield protection) defenders.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Everyone has a price. I would not be surprised with any if them wanting to go as we look to be a team who has plateaued and dropped this year. Some , like Kilman may be hoping they get a fairer shout, maybe also Gibbs White. Some of the cosy crew may be in for a shock.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Neto and Raul won't leave this summer due to injuries.

I agree but that is not what I meant. I see these 3 guys as being absolutely key going forward and the new manager will need them very much on board.

 

[Burton Wolf]

Well he has a chance with Neto and Raul because they aren't going anywhere. Every cloud has a silver lining. Neves, well tbh what will be will be. I for one won't lose any sleep over what happens with him.

 

[djmikeydickens]

I imagine most of the squad are currently googling "who is Bruno Lage?" Then ringing their agent 5 minutes after

Completely disagree re Neves. He is the classiest player in our team by a country mile. Committed, composure, awareness, passing range abs accuracy, tackles and blocks plus shooting (if he can get back his shooting boots). We should do everything we can to hold on to him and build the team around him.

Boly for £20M is fanciful, I'd want much more than £35M for Neves though.

 

[Abbobrom]

I can't see Neves wanting to leave, he seems committed to the club and appears happy in the area.

Doesn’t go in the area enough I’ve always found.

He did score with a header recently.

Now I wasn't trying to say Neves isn't a good player. I merely pointed out that I wouldn't lose any sleep if he left. Same as I'm not losing any over Nuno going. Now that of course doesn't mean I didn't rate him as a good manager.
