Wolves want to "snap up" Semedo for 35 million ..

[joedurham]

Very average defender and poor in attacking role, imho. The only reason they are buying him is because he's Portuguese. Barça will hardly believe their luck. Makes Spurs signing of Reguillon for 27 million seem even better.

Wolves have a canny record of signing Portuguese players mind. They appear to know what they're doing.

I think there's some portuguese bloke called Cristiano dos Santos Aveiro that they could look at

 

[Drexl]

Apparently the wolves supremo has sanctioned the deal

Wonder how much of the 34 million is going into Mendes' very large pockets.

It'll all come tumbling down.

Undoubtedly but as long as they prevent a few trophies going into the usual suspects boardrooms it’ll have to do. Let’s see what Brexit does to their plans. It may actually benefit Wolves most.

Disgusting club

 

[Richie K]

Wish we had been ran as badly as them the last few years!

 

[Jack Torrance]

They aren't really spending obscene amounts of money, their signings all tend to do well. Obviously helps Mendes brokering most of the deals

Spending 35 mill on a player with one senior goal and only a handful of games is obscene

 

[Coeus]

Doesnt matter what they spend if the player is ultimately worth more.

They have done an amazing job of building the club.

I'll be interested to see how Fabio Silva gets on, £35m for an 18 year old is a lot of money.

It really isn't.

Football has changed and it is now far easier to predict a footballers path.

Similar to the great uproar from Hudson odoi wanted 80k per week without starting a game.

It's a smart investment.

Hell be on relatively low wages due to age. His value will likely grow.

Yeah that one is a gamble but one decent season and he probably doubles in value

Hope he gets on tonight be interesting to see how he does
