We were rumoured to be the English club who bid €5m for Francisco Moura at Familicao (along with Norwich). I think they are holding out for closer to €10m as he has a release clause just under that.
Because he wants to continue his career and play in the Champions League, and we agreed to let him go for a decent fee.
Getting rid of players that don't play that much for us...
So it's all about what he wants. He's only just got off the treatment table.
If you thought a player like Neto would be content knocking around mid table with us for the rest of his career, you were always going to be disappointed.
Just to add that's exactly what the club sells itself on. The reason a Joao Gomes wants to sign for us is because we'll point to examples like Jota. We don't sign Neto in the first place unless Mendes knows he can flip him on at the right time. That would have been a couple of years ago if it weren't for the injuries
Injured far too often. But we will miss him.
Which is why over £50m is a good deal. The reality is he's had 3 good months in 3 years. He's not a £50m player if fit (£20-30m more) and he's not one when injured. I'll miss him, I think he's made a poor decision club wise, but from a Wolves perspective it's the only sensible option - even before considering any prior agreement
They are a token gesture so that we can say it's our record sale
I totally agree. But I hate the fact he has gone to Chelsea!
Worst of the lot.
More importantly it’s 95% of it upfront by the looks, unlike the jota deal.
I think you've conflated payment terms with add ons
