EFL loan rules state that you can't play against your parent club, so he won't be playing. Before they had this I imagine nearly all loan deals would have had this stipulation anyway.

Port Said Red Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I liked the way he was able to turn and get up to speed very quickly, certainly a different style to Fammy. I don’t think he will play another full 90 on Tuesday, he looked like he was tiring towards the end yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Always liked Afobe. Living in wolves I heard good stuff about him when they first signed him. Scored plenty, worked for the team, good asset from defensive set pieces. Very unfairly treated by the Club hierarchy by all accounts, hence why he went to Bournemouth so soon after signing. Then he went back on loan and did very well again. Just needs to settle somewhere. Similar to Kalas, too many loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 19 hours ago, BobBobSuperBob said: Interesting thought Wolves possibly - when they went up they had to buy him for £12m as a result of a promotion clause in his loan deal but didn’t want him and the reason he was immediately sold to Stoke So definitely a possibility The fact they were handing £55k to Shawcross around the same time is frightening My only other thought is , we will know what he’s currently on , and thus why would we bother with an option to buy if he was clearly way out of reach wages wise on a perm Need to do some ruthless housekeeping though We could get promoted...then he wouldn't be out of reach. I don't know his wages for sure but I'd be amazed if he was on less than £50k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s OOC 31st May next year - That can be right can it ? otherwise we could buy him for nothing on a free Edit Ignore That - that’s our contract with him Hes got one year left at Stoke after this season , but he can hold out on those wages for one last season or move on a new four year contract elsewhere in lower wages (don’t think he could get anything like that as it stands) So doable possibly if we do some serious pruning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course Afobe wasn't a player who went down with them. He signed for wolves then went to Stoke when they were already in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Yes he seems confident and interested and can string a sentence together too. This also means he can probably learn and take onboard what we are trying to do here and the way we want to play. Looks like he wants to be here and appreciates a fresh challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course Afobe wasn't a player who went down with them. He signed for wolves then went to Stoke when they were already in the championship. Out of interest, as we have learned on here players appear to sign two contracts, one for Prem, one for Champ (and I guess in some cases one for Lg1). In Afobe’s case, say he was on £50k at Wolves as part of his Prem contract but had a £30k contract should they be relegated. When Stoke came calling (or Wolves offered him) I guess Stoke might not want to offer him £50k (the manner to what he has just become accustomed to), but also Afobe might say what’s in it for me. Perhaps Wolves might be paying some of his wages? And I guess City are paying £50k either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January. They could recall him before then but would not be able to play him until then. Also if we have the buyout clause then it may mean we need to accelerate it before then.
