Alf... let's see how they do transferwise.. would a top manager go there at the mo?
Fox92 Posted 2 June 2018 Posted 2 June 2018 Wolves signed Afobe for £12mill Bournemouth made a profit on him, something I thought wouldn't happen.

So their idea of making big waves, splashing the cash, signing big names and pushing the top 6, is to resign a player for more than they sold him for after he couldn't cut it in the premier league. They've also made Boly permanent. Good player, but hardly improving the squad is it.

promised land Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 On 31/05/2018 at 14:55, davieG said: They can't as you're not allowed to play your home games in two different stadiums in one season, I believe they've asked for their first few games to be away. That is correct but they could always bend the rules for their beloved Spurs. The first few games won't need to be away, just reverse the home fixtures if it's possible so only 1 or 2 fixtures would need changing, like West Ham last season due to the athletics. What does become a problem is when it's against teams with another side in the same city or like us, next to a rugby club. No doubt they'll be on Sky Super Sundays though.

It's a bit early to be critical of a lack of transfer activity. As for Boly. Yeah we should have not bothered signing our best defender permanently for the pittance of £10m and weakened the squad instead... Melt.

Yeah we should have not bothered signing our best defender permanently for the pittance of £10m and weakened the squad instead... Melt. I know it early, I'm just saying I'm not impressed. You need to improve not stand still. I'm not being critical of the lack of activity, I'm being critical of the actual activity. They are both obvious signing and you've spent £22m and got nowhere for it. I'm just saying all the big talk, if you continue at this level of activity, you're not going anywhere but back where you came from.
The Bear Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Criticising loans being made into permanent signings is a bizarre argument. Are you suggesting we should have let them go back to their clubs and spent the money on different players instead? Even though the likes of Boly and Jota can clearly make the step up a league, and Afobe has been there before? And it's £32m we've already spent on three players (Jota, Boly, Afobe). Yet that still means absolutely nothing in terms of the level of player we are targeting in the next two months. In any case, we'll be signing Rui Patricio (GK) in the next couple of weeks from Sporting Lisbon for €18m (once his wrangle with their president is sorted out) and then probably Andre Silva for €35m from AC Milan once the World Cup is over. And that's just the ones we've heard about.

And that's just the ones we've heard about. At this rate, half of your team will be Portuguese comes the start of the new season! Looking to make some really shrewd additions this summer, I can see Wolves staying up comfortably. André Silva is an ambitious one, I'd question whether he'd want to a newly-promoted Premier League side, seeing that Milan are playing in the Europa League next campaign.
The Bear Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Milan are in big trouble regards FFP. They could even be excluded from the Europa League. They need cash and Silva only got 2 league goals all season and hasn't settled there at all. They are willing to cash in on him for roughly what they paid for him.
OhYesNdidi Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 I don't get the hype around A. Silva. He's always looked average whenever I've watched him play for Portugal & he's scoring record in Italy is poor. Why is he rated @ £20-30m??

Everyone is going for twice or three times as much as they actually should be these days. Unless you're moving from Leicester, then it's half.

If you don’t like the fact that not everybody thinks Wolves are gonna be world beaters in a few years then do one instead of giving attitude
Ian Nacho Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Don't understand all the fuss Wolves paying £12m for Afobe. Very cheap in this market.

Their Chinese owner is supposed to put more money in as cash injection. Could go either way.
Finnegan Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Oh look Wolves aren't the next man City who knew Bit like us coming up and signing Ulloa that is. No harm in it, could do worse. But it pretty much signals their level which is not really all that far off any other promoted team. Pretty confident they'll stay up like.

Yeah sorry for that.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 think wolves will be the worse off out of the promoted team, I back Cardiff to finish higher
Fox92 Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Right everyone I'm sorry for starting it I just think Afobe's shit
