Costa is leaving when there is enough profit from him? what's to say there is a clause in the contract? if we sell we have no ambition. we don't need the profit to buy players. Morgan and moxey have gone. new era at this club. time to build around the good players. also would take seb larsson. charlie adam is rubbish slow and old.

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently we are buying a player called Bruno (yes, another left winger) with the Costa money (£20 million) . Not really sure what it achieves buying and selling one great player at a time, apart from the fact it makes Mendes a lot of money.

25 Mar 2017 21:31:00
So Mendes is allegedly touting Costa for around £20 million to Premiership club's. If so, he will be looking at another couple of million for himself. £3.3 million in his back pocket in 6 months for selling the same player twice.

Anyone who still thinks that Mendes advising Fosun is a good idea is naive because there is such a conflict of interests, it's ridiculous. There is only one winner in that scenario and it's not Wolverhampton Wanderers.

25 Mar 2017 21:34:02
So £7m of profit in a few months doesn't constitute success? Come on.

25 Mar 2017 21:39:28
I thought we were after Bruma who is 22 years old and plays in Turkey. Bruno would not be a good signing as he is a 36 year old defender who plays for Brighton.

25 Mar 2017 22:46:19
Like I've just said, Statto, he is doing it again with this 22yr old Bruma guy from Galatasaray. He wants to buy him for £15-20 million and sell him to Liverpool or Tottenham a year later with a nice little £2 million in his back pocket. How can a team ever settle doing that?

25 Mar 2017 23:05:48
That sounds more like us, Jas lol.

25 Mar 2017 23:13:30
AC, £7m profit ordinarily is not to be sniffed at, but if we are only going to sign players to sell on for a profit every 6-12 months, we are never going to build a stable team to fulfil what we all want.

26 Mar 2017 09:27:15
The problem with turning our noses up at £7m is FFP. We need to be in a strong position in terms of FFP to build a team to challenge for promotion. We can't afford a transfer embargo or a huge fine.

26 Mar 2017 09:48:50
It will be up to Helder Costa if he doesn't play for wolves next season not Mendes. Mendes's job is to look after his Client and that's all he his doing its not his fault that wolves are fighting relegation and not challenging for promotion like Costa was probably promised at the start of the season. Costa is not a wolves fan and people need to stop thinking this about top players just because they kiss the badge tell us there happy say they love playing for the club but then as soon as the carrot is dangled there off there is no loyalty in football only money . If fosun give us all the money from the sale then how can we moan we are not the only club in world to lose a top player it happens every season it just we've never had anybody worth buying before lol. We'll be OK with or without Costa there will always be a wolves and we're going in the right direction. UTW.

I agree with 1877stlukes. Whilst I’d love Costa to stay, part of me thinks he deserves to be in the Premier. These players are only one bad tackle from having their careers ended. Just look at Coleman in the Ireland-Wales game. He will have a long road back to playing football again. I certainly would have no problem with Costa leaving to play in the Premier. All I’d ask is that all parties go about it in a good professional manner, i. e. the player not going on strike, and the club not holding out for some ridiculous amount of money.

26 Mar 2017 11:44:12
I'd rather have Sako than Bruma or Costa. At least you know what you'll get, and is still an excellent player at this level. Far cheaper, too.

26 Mar 2017 11:57:47
Helda Costa can do what he wants if he wants to stay then so be it, but you cannot blame him if he wants to play at the top level.
This will be our problem until we get 11 players who are capable to get us promotion and obviously we are no were near the top 6 at the moment with players we have, the league position don't lie, just be thankful Fosun keep putting the money into the club.

26 Mar 2017 12:14:52
There may be a bit of a clue in the Fans Parliament notes about buying and selling I will see if I can find it
Ed is it OK to copy and paste the extract if I find it?

Guys, you are right that if Costa wants to go then he will. My point was not anything to do with loyalty, it is to do with an agent advising the club. Mendes is fine doing his job as a players agent, but if he is being used as a consultant by the club as was being widely reported at the start of the season and many users of this forum have called for this to continue very recently, there is a clear conflict of interest.

The point of my post is that we should not be seeking the advice of an agent when it comes to player signings because the interest of the agent will always influence the advice given.

We should not become a short term stepping stone (by that I mean less than 12 months) for players to engineer bigger moves because it does not help the team on the pitch in the long term or the dressing room morale.

This from Laurie Dalrymple from Fans Parliament Notes Part 1

Income sources over the past few years have now ceased. Most of how we generate income will now come from player activity (players being bought and sold)

The Portuguese player Brumo we r up against Man U and Spurs 4 his signature valued at 20mill plus in the summer if Costa stays or goes in the summer depends on his loyalty if he goes we make few mill also I've read zyro and graham r back in full training wol want a friendly arranged 4 this week as they r going to need a lot of match practise.

DerbyWolf,
Agreed. The financial rules are such that Fosun are not permitted to inject additional funds. We can't both keep Costa AND buy another £20mil player. Player sales activity, in and out, will become more and more important as a means of refining the squad. It's all a financial tightrope in achieving the right balance. No team can "buy" promotion these days and by the same token the new rules are there to protect clubs from financial mismanagement, Portsmouth-style.
