Anderson Talisca - Wolves

[Withdean11]

Sorry if mentioned before, but Wolves are close to signing him for £21.5m.

What?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Anyone who choose Wolves over Liverpool is not interested in playing football. Must be a massive wage offer on top of that as well.

 

[Easy 10]

12 goals in 52 games in the Portuguese league. They're basically paying £21.5m for a brazilian Sam Baldock.

Wow.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

There's something odd about this transfer. He'll be gone in January.

 

[bhanutz]

It is so Mendes can move him on at the end of the season.

Wolves are being used as a club to move Mendes's players around... It will end in tears!

The difference in wages will also cause disharmony in the squad.

Surely in this case the exact opposite is true. More likely to play first team football at Wolves than he is Liverpool?

Insane. Good player in Portugese top flight. No idea where this fits in to FFP. Don't think much of the Wolves squad currently. Manager with no English experience, and a chairman throwing money about. Can see it ending in disaster currently. Weather this guy can do it having lumps kicked out of him on a freezing night in Rotherham is another matter.

Still only 22.

Maybe he's for the Wolves U23 Squad.......

There doesn't appear to be any direct translation for FFP in Mandarin, either

I agree with that but he is a player Liverpool, Chelsea, arsenal and a number of other European clubs have watched for a while. Although it appears only Wolves are prepared to meet the 21.5 million wanted, which says something. Madness if true. Seems all Wolves signings are through some agent whose clearly making a fortune out these deals

I think the fee suggests otherwise. A smaller fee then I agree but I don't think Liverpool pay £20m+ for a reserve player.

Fair enough. I based my comment on the "I've never heard of him so he can't be that good" principle

I would be HORRIFIED to see us blowing this kind of cash on an unproven kid from Portugal.

HORRIFIED.

Have Liverpool offered over £20m?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

I suppose Wolves could have gone down the Norwich "double an existing bid" route. But a player leaving Benfica to go to a lower level championship club when there is interest from much bigger clubs leads me to think that the player and agent want a payday. Choosing Southampton/Stoke/Swansea over Liverpool, I could buy.But Wolves? They are a poor Championship club based on previous seasons who are trying to throw money at players. Not sure this would attract anyone looking to further their career. Would he still go to Wolves for £5k a week because he believes in the club's vision?

HORRIFIED.

I'd be horrified to see us blowing anywhere near this kind of money on anyone​.

Surely that'll be the agents fee for the proposed deal!

 

[Whoislloydy]

How the hell can this be allowed!? Surely this breaches FFP

Well they paid far more than that for Benteke and Balotelli.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

It wasn't the intention for them to be reserves though!

i'd be fine with it as long as it was David Ginola
