look at the owners at Man City think they own around 7 other clubs around the world

Well they don’t think they can - they can.

And what with OH Leuven, Leicester fans aren’t really in the strongest position to criticise them!

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.

Tbf he’s pulling the same tricks for Spurs and Barca.

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. 

 

99% take it as a positive. We don't just sign Mendes players. There have been plenty for different agencies. And Mendes sometimes facilitates contacts for players we wouldn't otherwise have.

Looks like Firmino could be out for half a season. 
 

When Afcon comes Liverpool will lose Mane and Salah too. 
 

They have Jota, Mane, Salah playing twice a week for a good few months with little backup except Origi. 
 

If we can find form it should be possible to finish above them.

It Ronaldo wins Manchester United a League, FA Cup or Champions League, does that make him the best player ever? 
 

I wonder if Messi regrets joining a B League? He could have gone on to compete with Ronaldo again.

Except we’ll be losing N’Didi, Amartey, Iheanacho, Lookman and Mendy.

 

Daka won’t be going as Zambia didn’t qualify.

If he does help them win a league title, then he could be a contender as one of the most effective players in the modern game.

Lookman hasn’t been cleared to play for Nigeria, and said he still wants to play for England, but I guess his chances of that are very low unless he explodes with us, but even then there is big competition for those places.

He already is one of those, let alone a contender.

Not sure they can win the PL or CL tbh. 

 

Will do well to finish above Man City and Chelsea. They're the teams to beat

@HighPeakFox do you have a twin or is this just an alter ego? :D

Renato Sanchez to Wolves on loan would win this year's too obvious transfer of the window award.

 

It's up there with the time Nasri went to West Ham when they were underachieving.

With the Ronaldo to Man U and Messi to PSG transfers, I cant work out if they will be a success because they are the best ever despite their age or if they have a bit of a Bale to Spurs on loan sort of feel about them.

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

I don’t think he really played enough to get a song sung about him !

Must be the only one who doesn't think the Ronaldo transfer will work out very well; just can't see him playing regularly, given the demanding domestic cup and league fixtures.

 

They must manage him like Rodgers is planning to do with Vardy in his latter playing stage.
