Wolves turned down PSV Eindhoven loan offer plus £18m obligation to buy for Ladislav Krejci on Wednesday.
Dutch window now closed and Wolves confirm Krejci will not be leaving the club despite other windows still open.

It just seems crazy that these clubs are offering so much below what we paid for him just a couple of months ago. I realise we paid top end for him, but why on earth would the club want to give away a player for £8m less than the fee we are still paying off for him?! It does make you wonder how hard he was pushing for a move.
Thank goodness we said no. ?

It also appears we didn't seem interested in selling Mane. According to what I've just read, we could have sold him if we wanted to. Is that a sign the club are trying to keep some of our assets?
I know we didn't get many new faces in, but as someone pointed out, with the likes of Lopez back and looking good, we have got some newish players making the first team.
Also, keeping Krejic is positive; if we get the defence right, we could do well this season.

They test the water, Bullysboy.
They know Krejci will be on high wages, so they test whether we have our finances in order.
If you are Monaco, you needed to make an extra £47m to balance the books, so you were desperate to sell Balogun or Camara.
If Krejci was being disruptive, maybe a club would take an £8m fee for short-term balancing of the books, and it's practically his wages over 5 years.
Wolves have never been in this position. Just saying, if the player was acting like Tolu, most clubs cut their losses, as it gives the club a bad reputation to potential players, whilst also annoying the fan base, like the bomb squad under Jackett.

Think Boro made the signing of the window. Lankshear scoring for fun. Boro will definitely go up if he doesn't have a bad injury.
