Having just signed for Wolves, they are now (according to SSN) in advanced talks to sell him on to Stoke, supposedly for a quick £2,000,000 profit. All a bit odd, if you ask me. I wonder how much say Benik has had in all this wheeling and dealing. Who in their right mind would be happy to swap PL to go to Championsip..... STOKE.... of all places??

Didn't we do this once? Sign a player, I think for free, then immediately sell him onwards before he played for a small sum, £25K or something (probably not that small for us in those days)

I might have a tenner e/w on Wolves winning the PL in 2019. 300/1 on Bet365 which must be amongst the shortest ever odds for a newly-promoted team. Not quite Leicester odds sadly

That's a score down the drain, or rather the Bookie Benevolent Fund

He was there on loan at the end of the season. I'm guessing that Wolves were committed to buying him now, as part of the loan (to buy) deal, but now that they've succeeded in securing promotion, don't consider him good enough, so are selling him on.

If companies in the world outside football bought an asset and immediately sold it on for a £2m profit there'd surely be questions being asked by the fraud squad...

The bookies must know something AND....Wolves will spend big before the window closes. They could ruffle a few feathers. Worth a punt e/w because 3 of last seasons top 4 were not that great in truth.

I'd expect it from our northern neighbours but Shirley an Albion fan doesn't need to have the fact that spending doesn't equal success explained to him.

Thought we sold him on for £100k just a weeks after signing him.

He's a Premier Pro who will surely be feeling the After Effects of a long season. A real Dreamweaver on his day, he must have failed in his Audition to show he has the Spark or Dimension to Fuse with the Creative Cloud at Wolves
