Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Read that we have reduced the wage bill from £90m to £65m- is that right?

Sorry, but I just don't get not prioritizing a goal scorer.

Read that we have reduced the wage bill from £90m to £65m- is that right?

Over what timescale? I can fully believe those figures if comparing last season to 2015/16.

According to the gossip on BBC today Wolves need to sell Traore. Reckon he would come back.

I saw that, seems strange they are reporting they have to sell to buy. I thought Wolves owners were absolutely minted.

Anyway, personally I wouldn’t take Traore back.
I still think he’s a bit like a circus act.

There's no way Traore would come back here. His agent will be whispering in his ear about Liverpool and Citeh. He seems destined to be an impact player wherever he goes but his star is still rising so I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to one of the SkySix if Wolves have to get in some cash.

Bidding £30m for Edouard apparently.

Read an article this week about him; it's going to be difficult to get him with Celtic all geared for getting the 10th league title but as an opening bid it sounds serious. Hope it's true.

Not sure about this. I checked, Celtic are in a worse position than any other club in Europe because of Covid. 36% of their revenue comes from gate receipts. little TV money. Its the highest in Europe. It accounts for £42m of their £120m income. Last year they made a £13m profit. With the Covid situation, if it lasts a while, they are looking at a £29m loss.

Genuine question, can anyone remember the last time Villa posted a profit ?

He has come on leaps and bounds and had an good season, therefore the press will try and stir to get him a move.

if Edouard is as good as you all say; then surely there's options in a better position than us?

You could say that about any player then?

[Dante Lavelli]

Traore would be ideal on the right of a front three.  His pace with Greaslish’s guile On the left would be hard for most teams to handle.  Less defensive responsibility would suit him.

He wouldn’t come back to us though, in my opinion, probably feeling that we let him down the first time around.

Wolves would want about £70 - £80m for him. Why is he being discussed?

Haven’t watched him in a while I take it?

However much Traore might have improved, Wolves staff are still covering him in fucking baby oil before games to make him 'harder to catch'. Ridiculous.

Rumour is Wolves are looking for huge money for him anyway so there's no way we're bringing him back here.

Traore in this thread is pure pie in the sky, totally unrealistic.  Wolves would want about 70m,  I sincerely doubt we'd be spending anywhere near that bracket on one player, and why on earth would Traore leave a club challenging for a top 4 place and getting into European competition to come to a club that escaped the drop by the skin of it's teeth?  If he goes anywhere it will be to someone playing at a higher level than Wolves are.  That aint us.

Not to mention a club that wrote him off and shoved him out in a px deal
