Looking possible that Wolves will sell Fabio this summer with Roma, Milan, Seville and Galatasaray amongst clubs evidently interested. Wolves would be looking to receive in excess of £20m. Would be really disappointed if we let him go and would like at least for Lopetegui to work with him in pre season before making any decision. But this one might be decided by whether the player is up for staying and fighting for his place. I’m increasingly feeling that as with MGW a year ago, he may have decided his face doesn’t fit at Wolves

Might I suggest that folks go to transfermkt. In particular club like Benfica, Liverpool, Brentford and Leeds. That website is pretty much accurate when it comes to transfer dealings. Leeds for example loaned in McKennie from Juventus and paid a loan fee of 1.25m and loaned out Lorente to Roma for a 500k loan fee.

No such fees for Coady, Guedes or Fabio, despite the E&S comment. By the way, I don't have to prove anything as I can't find the fees. It's those who say there are, who have to prove their point. Just saying.

This is fun.

Unfortunately, the fact that you can't find something is not sufficient evidence that it doesn't exist. The burden is on you to disprove what DJ said, as you claimed to "correct him".

Like I said, you rested your case too soon and I have already awarded substantial damages to the plaintiff, DJ Spangles.

Good article in the FT about the phenomenal rise in football loan fees.

On the other hand, if you're unable to find something it can be said that it is impossible to prove that it does exist.

Loving this. The invoice is in the post.

If a tree falls in a forest when no-one is there - did it make a noise?

Tottenham's Son Heung-min has dismissed the idea of a move to Saudi Arabia after speculation.

He said, "Money is not important to me right now. What is more important is the pride of playing in the league I love."

So sad that more players don't think like that.

Well, it's clearly impossible to prove that it did?

I've searched high and low for any loan fees and found nothing. In percentage terms, I would suggest that in the absence of anyone coming up with one, I could well be right. So if there was one for Coady, then the onus is on those who think I'm wrong. By the way, where's cinci? Did he check the Benfica squad on transferrmkt?

Cinci checked his pockets upon pulling on the shorts this morning and found that all the fecks he had to give for the week were gone.

I will be in Lisbon next week so may ask a drunk or two their opinion.

All I asked you to do was check the Benfica squad list on transfermkt, to back my views on loan deals, not go to Portugal.

By the way, you used all your "fecks" a long time ago mate.

Feet on the ground Wolfie, it is the only way to get to the bottom of this.

The onus is on wolfie to prove DJ wrong.

I remember Amiga saying something about him hearing from his daughter that there was a loan fee involved?

Being reported that Brentford are in advanced talks with Wolves over the signing of Nathan Collins. Wolves looking to get £25m

On the contrary ol' boy. DJ thinks we'll get loan fees for players we send out on loan next season. I say he's wrong, as we didn't receive any such fees for last seasons loaned out players and there were 15.

It's actually Tammy that's stated that we got a loan fee for Coady. Again, I can't find anything to support that. All I'm asking, is for him to find out what the fee was. Not too difficult is it?

Well, I've been pretty amazed over the years by the tiny little hills that people are prepared to die on around here but "loan fees don't exist" is extraordinary.

Of course loan fees exist. Not sure who said they don't. Here's a snippet you probably missed from an earlier comment I put up:-

..."Leeds for example loaned in McKennie from Juventus and paid a loan fee of 1.25m and loaned out Lorente to Roma for a 500k loan fee."

25m was around what we paid for Collins, I believe. So good business if that goes through. Was never convinced he was worth that tbh.

Wonder if wolfie has realised that everyone is bored to tears about his little debate about loans. Some people believe loan fees have been paid for our players but cannot prove it, some people believe they aren’t but cannot prove it. It’s wofies idea of fun to carry on with this pointless debate. But I doubt if anyone else shares his excitement

Wolfie has spent the last 48 hours desperately trying to find proof that we didn’t receive any loan fees for our players, as yet he has been unable to do so.

Let that sink in.

£20.5m we paid for Colins, so a decent profit.

I'm a little surprised that it's him that's attracted an offer and not Kilman though, maybe Lopetegui had indicated that he could go.

Looks like Barcelona are going to sign Gundogan on a free, can't deny that's better business than paying 45m for Neves.

Take it!

Collins voted Irish player of the season.

Carry On Lads.

I would have chosen to keep Kilman and Collins. I guess we have someone lined up to come in for that position. Although be interesting to see if Mosquera is retained in the squad for next season
