Not in a million years. Traore is a novelty player who's outputs are absolutely atrocious. No one in their right mind is going to pay more than 20 million for Traore, so what; Neto and Neves are supposed to be nearly 70 million each? Not a chance in hell. Not sure about that. I thought we had top notch training facilities?

The rest are garbage. If they're selling the Family silver they won't be reinvesting. Traore's star has very much declined this season as he seems to have reverted to type (Jiminez is a big miss for him); they should have cashed in when he destroyed Man City - could have probably got 50/60m but were greedy and it's backfired bigtime. Jiminez is stymied by his injury - who is going to buy him with the risk? No-one is going to sign a player who at this point in time can't actually play. Like the dingles overall, Neves hasn't really shone this season. But still only 24. Neto would fetch decent money but a bit like Traore, flatters to deceive. Not sure they'll get anywhere near 150m - the dingles ship seems to have sailed and maybe sinking... They'll probably finish 15th/16th which given the investment is pretty underwhelming. Relegation form currently.

The rest are garbage. Neves' stats have still been solid this season, if Wolves are serious about selling there ill be no shortage of takers for him. He's been let down by Moutinho who finally seems to have passed his sell-by date in their midfield. Without European football, and Mendes' fingers getting itchy, I'd be surprised if they don't get £60m or so for Neves, the likes of Traore and Neto will depend entirely on who blinks first. They got £40m for Jota when there was little or no interest in selling, so I'll be surprised if they fetch much more than that for either really. Wonder if they'll recoup the £75m they blew on Silva and Semedo... the latter has been worse than Townsend and Furlong!

You can't even buy Sealfish for that RE: The Fosun Bubble... - coxy134 - 04-07-2021 Crowds will dwindle or are dwindling at lots of clubs. Its just to expensive to simply watch football and not expect to see promotion, cup wins titles etc. Kids today want to support a glory team, much like a fashion and cant stand the stick from school/workmates about supporting a team that isn't doing well. I will be interested whether long term crowds will really return in vast numbers long term. Have youngsters during lockdown shifted their interest into Fifa rather than watching a game. Who would invest with that uncertainty? Any company/owner who buys any business is looking for a payback (5years?) Wolves havent achieved much more than we did when we finished at our best, yet spent far more, Villa the same. Football clubs are to much of an uncertainty unless its owned by a owner who simply wants to burn money. RE: The Fosun Bubble... - Bortolazzi's Barnet - 04-07-2021 The whole football bubble will burst. TV viewing figures are not going to be as high as they are now for ever. Not with entertainment technology gatheringnmpace all the time. So TV contracts will not be as valuable. Then you go on a downward spiral. What if Sky says one day, "Nah, we'll give it a miss, that's too much"?

According to John Richardson's Can We Have Our Football Back, attendances in Leagues One and Two have actually grown by 10% over the last ten years. However, I agree that investing in a football is generally a mug's game. Unless you are into money laundering... |
