Wolves have got loads of money. £15m

Additionally, I am sure Football Insider 247 is a very credible source...

Pete O is credible. Not always right but often is

I’m not surprised and it would be a good move for him to a good club imo. And we’d take the money no doubts

Would be a shame so early in his pro career.

Hopefully, our money-men hold their nerve, offsetting future value and the goals-to-come versus the lure/need of some fast cash.

Shouldn’t think that he’d feature much for them (league cup, early fa cup rounds maybe).

Maybe some kind of loan-back deal (and where his final selling price is based on his goals scored for us next season?)

His brother can play a bit of footy if sh1t comes to shove

Unproven. If they're willing to pay that amount, take it.

If true, the best scenario would be for Wolves pay decent money and then loan him back so he can develop some more with us. Maybe this is part of finding the solutions to meet FFP that José keeps referring to. Decent upfront money, with an additional fee based on his performance with us next season. Kind of a win, win for both clubs and the player.

If 15 million is the price being thrown around. Though I like the kid we can keep rinhomota, buy Oliveira, and have a try at signing Martinez and Baker. (Or 2 players similar and a cb)

At the end of the day loader single handedly will not push us up the table but using the money on 3 signings like that would. There are other young talent to. Though it would be a shame being homegrown and all we can keep our best players and add to the squad through selling one starlet.

No brainer

Has it? maybe.. just read your post sorry.. what I should have said then is, agreed

Luckily we already have his replacement with first team experience ! Olise looks just as good a prospect.....

Yes. It would certainly ease the financial pressure in one fell swoop. We could bring in three quality players with that level of fee.

The truth is Loader "might" go on to be a top player but he also "might" turn out to be another Tishbola - it is too early to tell. If they offered 5M we should probably take it but we should not accept anything less than that. if we sell hopefully Novakovich and Olise can step up instead.

Not keen on a sale and loan return. He's not really up to starting week in week out as first choice based on his showings so far, so taking him back on loan doesn't really enhance our team and just takes away room for a replacement who will be here long term or someone else's development.

Whilst it would be a massive shame to lose a player with such obvious potential, if we're talking double figure millions we'd be crazy not to sell him... He is after all just a prospect at this stage, and with that fee we could sign two or three quality players ready for now and fill some of the massive holes we have.

no worries...just gets a bit grating after 20 years of it (especially when the big-hitters here do the same and get the feedback....sulking not a lot
)

Read the previous post folks.....that’s how it used to work

10/15 million and a swap for Adama and I'd be happy

happens to me also, sometimes days after I've posted but I kinda smile as the more we think on the same wavelength the better.

I find it tedious (and a tad-bit insulting) that valid points from ‘intermediates’ are ignored, yet a ‘big-hitter’ says the same/copies it, and it is ‘headline news’

But I’m just “over-sensitive” to quote a big-hitter or two @ me

Agreed. Let's just not let another bright prospect out the door for half a million. >$10M is an easy decision.

Agreed.

If we're taking a Wolves player on loan then might Morgan Gibbs-White be a good fit? Future England international if all goes well for him, should fit in well here, and is a central midfielder (i.e. the position we actually need players). He's that bit further along in his development than Loader. Wouldn't have thought he has much chance of getting in the Wolves side given their playing and financial resources. He played his part in their promotion, now he could be one of the best players in the league. Very useful Swift replacement/upgrade. But I'm sure any Wolves fans reading this will be laughing at my delusion because he's already been told he'll start 20 games next season.

Having said that I'm sure if it looked like Wolves were going to make an offer we couldn't refuse then the club would make twenty other clubs know and drive up the price.

^ what a shame that the game has come to this way of thinking.

You are of course, right.
