Gross that they are getting him for less than 10m 

 

sima also supposedly going to Brighton for 7m 

 

[Super_horns]

End of an era.

 

Deeney going to his boyhood club.

 

Walsall will be gutted - they had a sell on clause although no one really came in for him apart from you guys .

I know it’s daft but I Still can’t watch it now when the clips start doing the rounds again

I actually kind of enjoy it now, knowing what we didn't know then.  For sure a character building moment for many before our glorious romp into the Prem and beyond

Guess so although like his Wolves semi final penalty actually didn't really mean much in the end!

 

Nice moment of course but we didn't turn up in the final twice.

So the rumours go. 

 

I'd rather get Botman over the line though.

Hadn't he done his meniscus and recently had an op to fix that?

Kelme - Spanish I believe.

Out for about a month I think.

Assume a month then needing a pre-season and to get match fit?

Not many players come with a chant built in.

 

Dananananananana Botman.

You'd be surprised. Watford once had a striker called Geijo, pronounced Hey-Ho and they didn't sing Hey! Ho! Let's Go!, by The Ramones. 

 

You should be ashamed of yourself @Super_horns

Genuine question; how can what Mendes does for Wolves be allowed?

 

I'm not knocking it as such, I’d love for a super agent to rock up here and start getting his players through the door for us (provided we actually want them, of course), but ethically speaking? Surely a conflict of interest in both his relationship with his players and ‘advisory’ role to Wolves?

 

I’m sure for every Neves there’s a shocker? Can’t be ideal for the club? And I’m sure there’s a number of players that would otherwise be looking for moves to clubs with consistent European football etc, just making the move that their agent tells them to? And contracts are barely worth the paper their written on in the modern game - if Mendes’ has a complete relationship breakdown with the Wolves board, is he going to start getting his players out?

 

It’s pretty fascinating to me.

It would appear to be a conflict of interests.

 

Football, like everywhere there's money, will always have people pushing legality to the limit.

 

I guess Mendes is putting players in the shop window, showing what they can do at the top level. Wolves get the short term benefit and Mendes just makes more and more cash.

 

I find the sums that agents make and take out of the sport totally vulgar.

 

Whilst legal, it won't stop. And if it works for Wolves, it works.

 

Do Wolves fans look at it as a positive or are they sceptical @The Bear?

 

I wouldn't really be moaning if we had players like Neves and Moutinho.

It just seems a smaller direct scale of what some other owners do, look at the owners at Man City think they own around 7 other clubs around the world, players might not be switching clubs between them (at least not to Man City anyway) but that’s hell of a good scouting network 

look at what Watford owners was doing a few seasons ago transferring players or loaning players between their clubs 

even us are now doing it to some degree with Leuven

Tbf to the lad - I can't knock him for putting out that message. Shows he doesn't just want the money and anyone that takes him on now knows he'll give 100%
