Summer 2022 Transfer Window

Both are unproven but La Liga is a better standard than the Championship.
Better standard of football no doubt but is it as competitive? Any how, irrelevant now, Gibbs-White is gone and Guedes is here, hopefully he rips up the Premier league.
 
It’s brilliant business. Gibbs-White definitely doesn’t get in the best 11 in a 4-3-3. In a 4-2-3-1 I’m not sure he does either, but surely with Nunes we will go 4-3-3 90% of the time.
 
Am I right in thinking Forest's owners have links to Mendes, too? I seem to recall a few of his clients going there after they got taken over.
Yep. They signed João Carvalho and loaned Diogo Gonçalves in from Benfica the season after we went up, signed that Cafu guy we were linked with once, had Rafa Mir on loan from us as well obviously...

Then Olympiakos (who Marinakis also owns) was where Podence went when he quit Sporting after their ultras stormed the training ground, José Sá went Porto > Olympiakos > Wolves, they've had players like Rúben Semedo and managers like Pedro Martins.
 
The family I’ve met are really nice. I’d imagine faceless people criticising his family on the internet is part of the reason he want to leave.
I used to play 5-a-side with his great uncle who was a lovely chap. Appears from reports from Leeds that his brother might be less lovely. He clearly was happy to leave a club that has just shown massive ambition so getting more regular first team football is probably a good deal all round.
 
Fun fact: On average, players moving from La Liga to the Premier League see a 5% drop in output, vs a 17% drop when moving from the Championship to the Prem (which also happens to be the same average drop in output for players moving from the Bundesliga to the Prem, funnily enough).

The odds are in our favor here.

And just so you guys know I'm not pulling your leg, I'll point out that MLS is really bad in this regard; players moving from MLS to the Premier League average a 36% drop in production.
And yet you want us to sign Ben Bender? For shame Alan
 
I havent seen much of that guy but 44M pounds is a Mendes miracle right?
 
Nothing to do with Mendes, he doesn't represent Gibbs-White or Wolves.

Mendes has links to both Wolves & Forest so he might be involved in some way.

MGW is represented by Jonathan Barnett's agency though.
