No official bid for Costa as of now apparently. Juve deciding whether to sell or not in next few days.

Nuno has said we need to prepare and be ready to react.
Could means ins or outs or none.
Imagine it will be an exciting few days.
Just hope we don't loose anyone crucial and end up scrambling couldn't see that happening though!

He could be referring to positive C.V. tests causing players to be temporary unavailable for selection.

Chiesa to Juve, Costa to Wolves. One cannot happen without the other.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020
Fabrizio Romano has poured cold water on the rumoured transfer of Juventus winger Douglas Costa to Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer.
The injury-prone Brazilian is one member of the Juventus first team that the club will gladly sell, and he has been linked with a move to Wolves recently.
The Premier League side has just sold Diogo Jota to Liverpool and it appears smart that they may replace the Portuguese forward with Costa.
Tuttosport had reported that Jorge Mendes is looking to broker the Brazilian’s move to Molineux, but Romano was speaking on the latest episode of the Here We Go podcast and he claimed that he has been in touch with Juventus, Wolves and the agent of Costa and all of them have said that such a transfer isn’t happening.
He adds that Costa’s age and injury record puts him at odds with the type of player that the English side wants to sign.
He said as quoted by This Is Futbol: “We had the opportunity to talk with Juventus, and they told us, off [the record], ‘no, there is nothing from Wolverhampton for Douglas Costa. ’ We had the opportunity to talk with Wolverhampton, and they said, ‘no, we are not going for Douglas Costa. ’ We had the opportunity to talk with the agent of Douglas Costa and he said, ‘no, we have nothing with Wolverhampton. ’
“So, it seems [like] something fake. You have to consider one thing, if you speak with Wolverhampton’s side, they say, ‘we are going to buy different players, we want younger players, players that we can sell in two or three years [for an] enormous fee. ’
“[Costa is] in a different moment of his career, and we have to add, he [has] had many, many injuries, he’s [missing] many matches every year because of injuries. So, Wolverhampton always said, ‘we don’t want [a] player [like this]. ’â€.

Spot on Nuno read the same story. Didn't really think for a minute he was our sort of buy. To old for a start we need younger players that the other Nuno can mould into the system he wants to play. Like me to old and set in my ways!

John Stones to Wolves £30m.
27 Sep 2020 12:03:18
Not sure about that.
Can't make my mind up about him
But not 30 million.
15 maybe.
27 Sep 2020 12:53:59
Rather have Gall Stones.
27 Sep 2020 13:06:42
Agrees 20m max.

I can fully understand the strategy of buying younger players, nurturing them and then selling them for higher fees. However that shouldn't usurp ambition in competing at he highest level. Also there is no guarantee in the coming years that prices will always be higher.

Rubbish tonight Vinagre has to go also time for Moutinho to play late sub why Dendoncker did not come on to break up play is beyond me also Jimenez did not look his normal self feel he is looking for a move.
27 Sep 2020 21:01:37
Gall Stones? That's what tonight's performance has probably given me!
28 Sep 2020 06:25:42
Every other game I listen to people slag dendocker off. Now he don't play, it's where is he, looks like selling our best player to Liverpool will almost cost us our Premier place. Yes this year wolves are the new villa.

Hate to be negative
But that was the worst game under Nuno for me
West ham aren't winning the league or cop this season, but we were cluless.
