13m agreed for Benfica midfielder Joao Carvalho. Team mate Congalves to follow on loan with a 20m option to buy. Scary figures but shows clear ambition.

Crazy money to be spending on one player,don’t know much about him tbh.If it’s true looks like we are taking a gamble on spending big in the hopes of getting promoted.Hope it works🤞🤞

More and more teams will take the risk of spending big to get to the PL, big money and many will fall short and be punished under the FFP rules.
Wolves gambled and won but Villa and Direby will suffer to the extent where the S*n is stating Villa will have to reduce annual wages by £70 million???? Championship??
Hope we get this right if we hope to spend big and throw caution to the wind.
We need to get behind them and sing loud and proud. Here's to a good season. I hope🤔

It's obvious Maranakis has fallen out of love with Olympiacos, well a little bit anyway. Having watched Wolves buy the league he might be tempted and may even use the same agent as Wolves did. I'm a bit wary, not so much for now but 2 years down the line, if it doesn't work. Will he stick around to clear up his own mess, which could be worse than the state Fawaz left us in? Life is all about risk and reward, yes the PL is a pot of gold but it could be fool's gold if we gamble and lose. All rumours but this £50m spend story seems to be gathering momentum. Fingers crossed and FTID.

13m for João. Last time I checked his value was 2.5m.

It shouldn't be even 2.5 mill he's played his football in benfica B side ,it's like playing league two or conference football.
If it's 13 mill Karanka needs his head looking at as do the owners.
Recepie for disaster.
