To sign a player for €30M then two months later to sell him for €65M is unbelievable business whether we like it or not. If Wolves agree to let him go then they will absolutely have someone or two already lined up (Yuri Alberto? Wallace?); they won't leave us in the same position as when Raul got injured and Fabio had to step up.

But it's just not that simple, this ain't Footy Manager! Firstly you seem to be forgetting that the €30 agreed was done so BEFORE he scored 14 goals in a debut Prem season, had we not agreed said that fee then they would have wanted MUCH more (well done to the club for agreeing that option:). Then you have to get clubs to let their best striker go, this close to deadline that won't be cheap. And even then it relies on peeps wanting to come to us, which has been a struggle all window. Then on top of all that you are relying on the fact that the strikers mentioned can even cut it in the Prem of which there is no guarantee, whereas we already know JSL can. Look at Villa, they spent £30m on Wesley and he was seen as the next big thing. Fast forward 2/3 seasons and they had to let him go for next to nothing cause he just couldn't score at this level! Why do you think Newc want JSL when they could sign the very players your mentioning FAR easier and cheaper?! At this stage in the window we'd be (quite literally) gambling our entire Prem existence for the sake of €30 profit! Profit which would also almost get entirely swallowed up by the replacement signing! No thanks!

Maybe the club know what they're doing.

JSL didn't have any Premier League experience before he joined our club.

Neither did Raul, or Diogo.

After flirting with relegation last season, we went out and signed Agbadou and Munetsi. How much PL experience did they have? But yet they transformed the clubs fortunes.

Never said I agreed with the business at any point. But maybe they are putting their trust in VP and players he has chosen to come in? At the end of the day no one knows and like I said before; like it or not the club will do what they want to do and us fans are an after thought.

So what you’re saying Wandering is any player we sign will be without risk and settle in the Premier League. Laws of average suggest we will come unstuck at some stage. As Bully is pointing out is it really worth risking Prem survival for €30m?

Never going to set the world alight at NUFC. Doesn’t work hard enough, and not physical enough for a guy of his size. Wouldn’t be sad to see him go, but it’s getting a little late for replacements.

47vintage, not saying that at all. We could go out and sign 'Premier League' ready players and pay the big bucks for them. Sancho, Sterling and Anthony spring to mind. Would you pay £30m for any of them because as you say, they're all Premier League ready.

According to X Wolves will not be selling JSL or letting Hwang go this summer and are focusing on incoming players.

The season has started. JSLis our proven premier league goal scorer. He should be a required player not available at any price. To let him go now would be reckless.

Have Fosun ever been anything but reckless on reflection innocent?
Buti agree to let Jsl go now would be the last straw surely.

JSL has a realistic value on the transfer market, but he has another value to Wolves right now based on PL survival and league position. The two numbers aren't even close. Unless Newcastle offered a stupid number close to what he's worth to Wolves then selling him this season should be a non conversation.

Antony, Sancho and Sterling scored 8 goals collectively last year between um! Whilst all playing at clubs higher up the table. So we could sign all three and still get just over half the goals JSL scored last year! I honestly think peeps are underestimating just how hard it is for a club like us to find and sign a 14 goal striker! Credit to the club for doing it in the first place but let's just hope the club doesn't also underestimate that as well eh!
Also what would it say about the club? We've struggled to sign players all window and how is that going to get any better if we suddenly can't even keep our best players for just one window?! ?

Exactly Bullysboy. Over the years we have sold our better players - Jota, Neves, Jimenez, Kilman, Nunes, Kilman, Cunha, AIT and now possibly JSL. Not a single one of them had ANY PL experience prior to joining us.

This is what I'm saying. We are disappointed when players leave but they joined us as unheard of players. So in that respect, the club are doing a good job. The next step would be the club being sufficient enough to retain these types of players.

Wandering your last post is almost perfect, (No Neto but 2 Kilmans), right up to the last sentence!.
Wolves were sufficient, financially and on the field, to keep them and did all the way to Seville.
Then Nuno and the rest of the management team were kicked out so that your man Jeff could take over and now the club is no longer sufficient.

Problem is Wandering that virtually none of those players you've listed there were Prem ready first season. Even Jota and Neves had a Champ season to help them warm up. At this stage we don't even know if we have replaced Cunhas goals (15 is a BIG ask of Arias first season) and you think it's a good idea to then sell another 14 of our goals?!
What I REALLY don't get Wandering is that I'm not convinced yoh do actually think that because about a week ago YOU said:
'If we had replacements lined up then I might consider a sale but I don't think our recruitment team know what they're doing at the moment.'
So what's changed since you wrote that exactly?! You realise that you don't always have to take Jeff's side right?! ?
