Some rumour sites are saying Rafa Mir's price is between €6-8m.
Unbelievable if they sell him for that.

It is if they do. I would hope they go for a swap.
I am guessing though not much will be done without Lage there first. If he is to be appointed he might have certain transfer targets.

Give the kid another chance. not like we've got too many strikers.

I like the idea of swaps with whatever team wants to buy him. Good chance the likes of Valencia and Villareal both linked with him have someone we could make good use of.
In other news watching Spain Portugal friendly. Spain are constantly targeting Semedo on the right as the weak link. Great.

Like I said the Eds previously said they have an agreed fee, one which many in Spain think he's already worth more than so those figures sounds about right. Also like I said the Ed suggested that the club he's on loan with may buy him and sell him straight on to Valencia (thus making a profit we should have made, like we did with Benik) . If true then we do need to get on top of our youth system. If Mir goes at a loss (like Goncalves before him) then it does make you question who's over seeing these deals and that they need an ear bashing/ replacing. No point in investing all this money on youngsters if you can only spot the good ones after they've succeeded elsewhere! 🙄.

BullysBoy, I think they did have an agreement with Huesca but that was dependent on them staying up.
The rumoured fee does seem low but Mir only has 1 year left on his contract.

BullysBoy II, the team he is on loan to is not buying him. The editor doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, which should be amply obvious by now.

Ah fair enough, cheers Jas. That is a low fee then, but why then have we loaned him out with one season left on his contract?! However this plays out I think we need a shake up on who in that youth team is ready to play for a place. We needed a squad last season and half of it was already there, just playing out on loan when they could have been training with the first team and filling the bench! ðŸ‘.

Why not just say Neves is going for £2.50.😂
Some rumours are absurd. I understand it is a change in management and personnel. But Fosun aren't daft especially with the world's most powerful agent to help out.
In more interesting developments I would guess wolves have some sort of clause or sell on percentage for Goncalves at Sporting. Maybe we get first option.?
Also the rumour of this wonder kid wing back going from sporting seems crazy. How is he going to play with Wan Bissaka, Shaw and Telles in the utd side?
Don't get me wrong I see the appeal of utd for a kid from abroad but surely he won't go to sit on the bench after winning the league.

Now it's almost certain Lage is the new manager. What players would you like to see come into the team next season?
My first match squad looks something like this.4-3-3
Jose Sa (to replace Patricio)
Semedo Coady Marques Jonny/ Vinagre
Otawosie Neves Vitinha
Neto Raul Podence
Ruddy
Donk
Morgan Gibbs White
Fabio Silva
Can see Traore, Boly, Cutrone, Mir and Kilman been sold. £40-£90m I think Podence might go aswell to be honest. He was a crap replacement for Jota.
Can see another cb coming in.
And I'd like Palhinha or Renato Sanches to balance the midfield.
Still question marks at left back can we have a say in the deal for the wonder kid from sporting Lisbon? Or maybe do a deal for Telles from Man Utd. As Vinagre goes sporting, Nuno Mendes (sporting Lisbon wonder kid) goes Man Utd then Wolves get Telles.
Do we have any clause in Goncalves deal with Sporting? As Fosun seemed pretty shrewd with that the first couple of transfer windows.
Also another smart signing would be Fabio Vieira from Porto as he has played with Vitinha and Fabio Silva and is an attacking winger/ attacking midfielder. Could he be the new Joao Felix under Lage?

Jonny and Neto are out until November.

True Jas. We should just plan without them to be honest.
We can't rely on them been at there best in November. It may be January by the time they are at there best.
Maybe there is truth in the Guedes rumours.
When you think about it the club won't be letting every player just leave. As the squads short at the moment without any players exiting.

AND the mass exodus starts. Rui want to leave Wolves for Roma. Who will be next. Comment below. A spot in the Wolves squad if you get every player that leaves this summer window correctly.

I really hope that Fosun and Jeff know what they are doing. cause if they don't then rest assured that the Molineux faithful will be begging no sorry demanding them to leave the club.

Madman. I've not watched a bruno Lage team play, like most of us. Lage doesn't play 433.
Apparently, its 442 with inverted wide midfielders and two pressing forwards. Without possession the two banks of 4 form narrow shielding blocks and the 2 pressing forwards aim to close down the opposition defender's forward passes in order to win the ball high up the pitch.
In possession the wide midfielders cut infield with the wing backs pushing forwards. Our Centre midfielders aim to cover the full back area if need be.
I've never seen it but it sounds like it would suit several of our players imo.
I'd play Neto as the left of the two pressing forwards when fit. Fabio silva works hard enough to press and Jimenez is god so could do it. Then it's either mir or someone else I guess. Just my guess.
I believe it would really suit neves and perhaps dendonker in the centre mid positions, not sure it would suit vitinha though but I'd still sign him!
I think it would excite wolves fans too. We love high energy, wingers, strikers.
We just need 3 or 4 to supplement the squad I think. No sales (maybe marcel, saiss and Mourinho if they want to play) Probably loan kilman. Convert Gibbs-white to right mid?
Vinagre left back and left mid option? If he's playing well now (as reported) why not try him?
Centre back, 2 centre mids, left midfield, striker would be amazing but I'm not expecting that many, especially if we're buying vitinha and ait-Nouri.

Hi JamesSpD.
I believe the system changes depending on who Bruno plays against. He used Joao Felix as a false 9. So the front two was a front 1. He also plays with two wingers which is more exciting. So on paper it would be 4-4-2 but as you can see it would be more of a 4-5-1 with the attacking midfielder (felix) coming short for the ball in pockets of space.
So my 443 is more the shape of the team as it would be
Rui
Semedo Coady CB? Jonny/ Vinagre
Donk Neves
Gibbs white
Traore Raul Neto/ Podence.
So he would have two midfielders to dominate the midfielder and 4 forward players to link play and attack.
What ever happens this summer I can see changes at left back, midfield, strikers and cb.

Madman,
4-4-3? That's 11 players. Plus GK makes 12.
We might win a few games with that set up!
