See Wolves are about to sign a 20 year old striker from Valences that Real Madrid were looking at this season. Prolific in their youth setup. Interesting to see how that works out.

Yes, I wonder how they are getting round FFP, theres no way their spending is matching their turnover surely?

I’d imagine they’ll get a slap on the wrist and a (relatively) small fine when they are playing the likes of Spurs and Manchester City.

I think you can do what you like during the first year under a new owner.

They've just gambled on promotion this season so looks like it will come off. Apparently Helder Costa is on 80k a week there so god knows what they're paying Neves and Jota of this seasons intake.

Would imagine they'll get a fine like Leicester and Bournemouth did when they got up. Not a huge problem when you're getting 100m from the TV deal.

Let's remember aswell Wyness admitted start of the season we were just above the FFP threshold.

This is their second year under this model.

Last year was when they made all their mistakes appointing Walter Zenga and Lambert.

Who do we reckon are on the way out this Jan?

Given the surplus options at RB, wouldn't be surprised if RDL were let go. Lansbury maybe aswell. Both have missed a lot of football.

I did hear a rumour that Lansbury was likely to go to Palace (possibly along with Grealish), but this was mid December so things may have changed I guess.

Bree could do with a loan (although he's magically appeared on the bench again).

Jordan Lyden will probably go out on loan as he's not getting a look in.

Lansbury is crap, so hopefully he'll be off somewhere.

The only decent appearance I have seen was his first when he was taken off after an hour or so as he wasn't match fit. I thought then he looked a really good buy but he's never been remotely convincing since

I wonder if Mad Tom has earned a stay of execution after the two clean sheets he's been part of. Terry will come straight back in for the Forest game you'd imagine and Chester is a guaranteed starter. I imagine Elphick will want regular football now he's had a taste of it.
Who would you rather have as first back-up, him or Samba?

He’s injured, didn’t he have an operation just before Christmas so I doubt he’ll be off anywhere in Jan

Tough one, as over the period of the season it would be Samba, but Elphick has been much improved in the past two games.  Given the age and injury worries of Samba and Terry, I think we should be keeping Elphick until the end of the season at least.
