In the papers that Arsenal are preparing a £125m bid for Monaco's Mbappe - an 18 year old.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 1 hour ago, P'head Red said: It seems the Neves to Wolves deal is acutally going to happen. Madness. Not just the fee, but that fact that he's far to good for the championship. This deal stinks. All very dodgy, his agent is the super agent mendes who also happens to be a advisor to wolves at the minute. Also porto are in financial trouble. How a player can be linked with Chelsea man utd and ac Milan and then sign for wolves is very odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the size of the clubs in this league I would be happy with a 15th place finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Seems wolves are favourite for adobe aswell. Building an extremely good squad thanks to Mendes. Where all that money has come from however is beyond me. Let alone the wages when they have no parachute payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager the championship pays more than that league even the big clubs for the most part. The fees however, the money comes from the owner. He can spend what he likes until they're told they can't(ffp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I wasn't sure whether ffp related to just wages or funds and wages. Either way, wolves will have a bloody good team this coming season. no doubt, all these signings have been made by the agent as after one season, he will make even more money selling them to clubs at the level they should be playing at.

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 It`s not the championship I know but I was just scanning the BBC football gossip page and two things jumped out at me; Everton value Romalu Lukaku at £100m and Man Utd and PSG are both prepared to meet the £174m release clause in Neymar`s contract. It can`t go on like this can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the fortnightly attendances at the likes of Man Utd, plus their astronomical global merchandising revenue. Then add in the eye watering incomes of clubs that progress to the later stages of the Champions league every/most year(s) I've said it before and I'll say it again, nobody with a Sky subscription is in a position to moan about the financial climate of the game! YOU* are the biggest problem with it and the contributor to the obscene money & wages being dished around. *not you specifically. Anybody who happily forks out to Sky each month.

Where do you think it all started and who pushes all the prices up..?

EnderMB Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 This forum, and Lansdown's rhetoric around how the club needs to copy whatever club lucked their way into the Premier League without spending a lot of money is a prime indicator that this club isn't ready for the Premier League. Deep down, is paying £15-20m for a young superstar really that bad an investment? It's a lot of money, but the owners can afford it, and ultimately if that player is likely to succeed at this level then the worst case scenario is that the player chooses to leave Wolves for £20m+ in a few years time if they don't land promotion. Is it really any worse than us signing a youngster for £200k that might do well in this league, on the chance that they'll leave for a few million? £18m for the youngest captain in the Champions League, with the top clubs already vying for his signature is probably a good deal, assuming that he can handle the sheer amount of games in the Championship. If he's any good, Liverpool will probably come in with a bid for £25-30m next year. If he's not, I reckon Porto will buy him back for £15m.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 @Bar BS3 Couldn't agree more, Sky was a major inflationary factor from the getgo and it's all spiralled from there. @Red Right Hand I broadly agree, but I suspect Lukaku for £100m, let alone Neymar release clause £174m is because neither Everton- and absolutely not Barcelona- have no desire to sell those players. If you can you will negotiate a prohibitive buy out clause/slap a crazy price on to keep best assets. I am surprised more clubs in UK don't do it tbh.

Lukaku a proven premiership goal scorer, to a champions league team with their wealth, for £100million, or Kodjia to a championship team for £15million. It's all about relative value I guess, so which offers best value..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
