Pedro Neto (to Chelsea)

[Mr Pink]

Yeah with Klopp going, we might have the edge over Liverpool.

Might be between us and Arsenal.

 

[Japhet]

Liverpool are an obvious destination at face value but I guess it really depends on several factors for them. Who the next manager is, if Salah leaves and who + when they appoint a new DoF as their current one is leaving/left.

I’m really not convinced that club would commit to such a large transfer until those three question marks have been dealt with. So i can certainly see the time frame of Neto moving playing a factor in regards to their interest. Ie, if its a deal that drags on all summer then they could well be serious candidates for his signature but if its something that gets done in the first few weeks then maybe not so much.

Can't see any way a deal for Neto gets done quickly unless it's a massive amount that Wolves can't turn down.

This is it really, Liverpool will be in a transition period and who know's what formation the next coach plays. If its Alonso for example, as is widely assumed, he mostly plays a 3421 with two AM's, Wertz and Hofman, behind the striker rather then inverted wingers. Yes it does swap to more of a 424 when in possession but still he doesn't really play wingers so their need for Neto is reduced considerably if he were to go there. Frimpong, their RB plays the more traditional winger role (with Wertz often sitting wide left) and i'd expect maybe TAA to fulfil the same duties for Pool. Of course Alonso may change his tactics for Liverpool as 433 is ingrained into their DNA but Alonso already changed BL into a 3421 from a 442 which came before and he doesn't seem the type to shy away from stamping his own ethos onto a team. Also if he did stay with a 433 he might want a different type of WF. Essentially its not a forgone conclusion that even if Salah where to leave that they would want another WF to replace him. Of course they might go for someone like De Zerbi insted but until they have their next manager in place I really struggle to see them committing to any large transfers.

I think a lot will depend on Wolves ffp issues. There have been quite a few reports that they are standing on unsteady ground in that regard, its one of the reason's they are supposedly willing to sell Neto in the first place, so with that in mind without selling him they probably wont be able to do any business for themselves. Until he goes that is. If any sale drags on all summer it could hinder their own start to the campaign. Im not suggesting it will be easy or will be tied up quickly but I'm not sure I can see this dragging on all summer as I think it would actually be in Wolves best interest for it to be done relatively quickly as long as a suitable offer is made.

Unless Liverpool hires Xabi Alonso. He's the type that players would like to play for - from what I see.

I would love for Neto to come but if he picks Liverpool, I wouldn't be bothered and not going to burn Levy's head.

Arsenal however.....

 

[RuskyM]

Would be the perfect signing.

Depends if they need the money for FFP before the accounting period ends in July. If that’s the case we might be able to get something done.

 

[SpursSince1980]

Getting a deal done quickly suits both parties. If Wolves know the player wants out, and another club meet their valuation, then is stands to reason, that they should sell quickly, so that they have a long runway to bring in replacement(s).

And yeah, this guy should be number 1 target this window. Frankly, if we ended up with him and no else in the window, I'd consider it a successful summer!! As that's the area on the field we seem to need the most help, and are in desperate need for someone with his skillset.

Any other incomings would be icing on the cake.

Alonso plays a 3421 system with inside forwards. He wouldn’t really have room for Neto and would be more likely to go for inside forwards or attacking mids.

 

[Hazelton]

I think he joins Liverpool to be honest but I'd love him here. Ready made.

 

[theShiznit]

They have form with wolves players and if he gets on well with Jota that could be a factor.

I don't see him going to arsenal due to Saka being one of the first names on the team sheet. (However big his ego is he must see that...)

I think they cash in on Salah to Saudi and bring in Neto to replace him.

Think they owe us a favour after taking Doherty from them…

He plays that because it suits the players at Leverkusen imo. I doubt he would take a successful liverpool team and change it to 3 at the back.

That said Arsenal and Pool have Saka and Salah on the right whereas we don't really have a top quality option there, so I think we'd have a good chance especially if we get CL football

Liverpool may look for a more proven goalscorer out wide to replace Salah. Neto hasn’t yet proven he can score double figures (I think he can) where as someone like Bowen or Kudus may interest Pool more because of their goalscoring ability.

 

[Twizzle]

getting this done quick/early might be a bit ambitious, especially considering Mendes is involved

Depends how much weight they put in their DoF's vision but we can only hope.

Ah. Good point. Couldn't buy a Big Mac from this guy without it turning into a mess.

 

[Dillspur]

If Wolves need to sell before the end of the current FFP year (June?) And some teams are hesitant to spend that amount before then, there could a window for us to nab him.

He is a special talent when fit. Not sure you can trust that he will stay fit in the long term though. This would be a huge gamble as transfers go. Upsides are high but he is a gamble
