Semedo has signed for Wolves from Barca.
Wolves are having a good window.
They are basically the Portugal B national side now!

Iām very puzzled by the Wolves signings
#1. How can they afford all these?
#2. How does so many foreign players fit into the 8+17?
Iām not sure they bought many players last summer, and they have had a somewhat small squad. Their majority owners, Fosun, are the 4th richest on the Premier League owners list ($9.14bn) so they are not without money. Also, they have a super agent in charge of transfers, and he isnt having them buy poorly or paying too much for players he largely manages.
For accounting purposes they can book sales up front, while they recieve the payments spread out over a longer period, so the sales of Doherty to Spurs and Jota cover a lot of the incoming expenditure on the books. Financially they are solid enough to wait for those payments to catch up to payments going out for players.

Interesting, I thought it was Party it was revolving around.
yeah thatās what i thought when i saw they were moving torreira on, partey would be a really good signing for them imo
still havenāt found anyone to take guendouzi off their hands
Parteyās got a ā¬50m clause I think, not sure if there was a date when it can be activated. Obviously heās one of Atleticoās key players, they would need someone different and better than Torreira to replace him. Weāll see if someone like Arsenal attract him or not.

Hereās another one to puzzle over. Maybe theyāve managed to get the same kind of deal we got for Jota.

I wonder if Ki-Jana Hoever would have signed for Wolves I heād knew they will sign Semedo too.

Surely KJH didnāt expect anything more than a rotation spot. He is very young, have played very little and Wolves are a good side.
Semedo signing is very ambitious though.

Donāt think Hoever can count at the moment on a Wolves bringing him to be 1st choice. Maybe not even second, weāll see what they do with Traoreās positions. He might be in those combinations initially as they judge his quality at the moment. His mission is to get closer to first team minutes and see where it takes him now. Heās only 18, maybe heāll still need a loan or two down the line before heās fully ready to compete for either RWB/RCB spots.
