    My answer would be "YES!"

    Wolves are dead last and sinking fast and there is no way in hell that you pass up an opportunity to snag up a star like Ruben Neves so he can fill that gap that our Brazilian superstar has left after blowing out his knee during the World Cup in a Group Stage match against Cameroon.

    My question to Stan Kroenke is simply this:

    You're on top 5 points clear of City right now, HOW BAD DO YOU WANT THIS TITLE?!?!?!

    You were willing to spend the $$$ to bring the Rams a Super Bowl championship last season, how about some of that same love for THIS football club??? We haven't won the League since The Invincibles played 38, won 26, drew 12, and lost ZERO back in that famous and fabled 2003-04 campaign, a club in which your very own general manager Edu was a huge part of, so you know what to do Stan, give him a check with as many zeroes on the end of it as you can and let's snag up Ruben Neves in the January transfer window like we did with the late great Jose Antonio Reyes back then!!!

    THE TITLE IS OURS FOR THE TAKING!!!

    Uh, I love you man, but they don't even play the same position. And Neves is washed.

    Should be in the transfer thread, is it confirmed Jesus is out for the season?

    He had knee surgery so you would assume with the usual timetable of rehab and recovery that it would be pretty much a season ending injury, but I don't want to take any chances so my idea of getting a player like Ruben Neves acts sorta like an "insurance policy" on our chances of winning the title for the first time since The Invincibles did it 19 years ago. And if indeed Gabriel Jesus makes a speedy recovery it'll all be a bonus, but I'll bet you a penny to a dollar that much like the late great Jose Antonio Reyes was like that extra "insurance policy" to The Invincibles in 2003-04 that's what Ruben Neves will be to us this season, because know that if Wolves do end up being relegated at the end of the season that he'll invoke his relegation release clause and then all will be lost if we choke this year, I wouldn't want to not take that risk of not having that extra guy just in case.

    Surely Vlahovic would be the target . . . or am I missing something??

    Are we really going to sign a Serbian player when Xhaka is in the team?

    SMS is 27, so that seems unlikely

    Yeah, I'm probably about to merge this thread with the transfer one. Not for server reasons, but rather so people aren't having to go to two or more threads for transfer stuff.
