January 2020 transfer window

My colleague, big PAOK fan, reckons Podence is quality and could be a real asset. Apparently a really nice guy too, or at least that’s his reputation.

Plus anything that weakens Olimpiakos...
 
5ft4.. wouldn't get in an Honest Mick McCarthy team
 
Podence looks about where we are at the moment – a player who’s performed well in the Champions League but who isn’t one of Europe’s elite players. I’m less keen on Oliveira, but there’s no real downside – if we pay £6m we’ll be able to sell him for £3m at the very least. And the fee for Podence – Helder Costa plus £7m – looks more than fair.
I do like my wingers to be slightly bigger than 5’5” and 9 stone – bloody hell, he’s smaller than the wife – but hopefully we can keep him away from zonal marking at corners…
 
Another era I know, but Wolves great Johnny Hancocks was only 5ft 4in in height (I believe he holds the record for the most top flight goals scored by a Wolves player).

Messi could have done with being a foot taller I reckon.
 
To be fair, Messi is 5ft7. I'm not sure I've ever met an adult male who is 5ft4
 
I remember Alan Wright at Villa being similar
 
Hands up, who is on their phone/computer/mobile device (delete as appropriate) refreshing every 5 minutes to see if any signings have been announced yet?
 
Yep! It’s making a rather boring meeting even more boring.

Announce someone FFS :)

Yes, I have a contact who told me the 2 signings are almost done. Found our just before story broke.
 
OK, I have a long report to write for a client. I am not going to look at the Wolves forum or check Twitter until 12:00...
 
I doubt anything is going to be announced imminently apart from Campana, even when the deal is finalised which it's not yet the medicals are usually a couple of days.
 
I would have thought the medical would take place before finalising the deal, surely?

I was told yesterday it is jiminent

They usually agree terms and then do the medical - there's no reports that these players are even in the country at the moment.
