That 18 year old kid that Wolves signed for 40m. 10m of that fee went to agents, of which 7m to Mendes's agency. Madness

And then they give away a quality player to Spurs for (relatively) buttons.
Where the agent acting for both managers, player and as advisor to the selling club is Mendes.......nothing to see here.

The whole set-up is just one big money laundering operation for Mendes and the Chinese guys.  The Dingles love it as they have got a decent team to watch as a by-product.

It's just corrupt.  I honestly don't know how agents get away with it.

There's got to be a fall coming their way at some point over this stuff.

And the Doherty deal? Mendes is an advisor to Wolves owners, who also have a stake in his business. He is also the agent to Nuno, Mourinho and Doherty.

This is according to some blue ticked bloke on twitter.

Perhaps some of it comes 180 degrees and ends up in Wolves back pockets?

I miss Harry Redknapp.

Need a long spoon to sup with Mendes.

So - if we are going to get 1 of them, do people want Rashica or Benrahma?

I've wanted Benrahma for 2 seasons now, but from what I're read about Rashica given the choice between the two I'd probably go for him.  Also, I'm a bit sick of Brentford fleecing us and kind of hope they get stuck with Benrahma or have to sell him cut price on deadline day.

Rashica 100% - a front 3 of Grealish, Watkins, Rashica is a proper threat

I'd prefer Rashica on a footballing level if he didn't look like Stevie G's lovechild. Can see him getting punched in the face all the time by opposition players. Benrahma, looks a decent player but i think he'd struggle in the premiership

Benrahma, only because I've never seen Rashica play.

I must admit, I'd never heard of Rashica before this summer and have never seen him play.

Benrahma looks a brilliant player at Championship level but I'm a little uncomfortable with us taking both him and Watkins from a team that wasn't good enough to get promoted and expecting them to both carry their form into the Premier League.

I like Benrahma, but suspect Rashica would be a lot cheaper
