A quality player, let's hope the injuries have been circumstance.

Curious about a 7 year deal now we can't account for the fee over that length, just don't see the benefit of it.

Maybe they have only one contract template.

Lower wages I'd imagine.

Fairly positive the long term deals were seen as a way to buy more time and to avoid Rudiger like situations.

A conventional 5 year deal really only means a player is secured for 3 years, as with 2 years left the club and player would need to begin negotiations on a new deal. Should discussions end up drawn out there's the risk of the player going into the final year of their deal and possibly just waiting it out to leave for nothing. 

A 7 year deal essentially extends that period of security, gives the club greater control, and also avoids situations with trying to get players to sign 1-2 year extensions even through they're likely to be sold.

It’s also a considerably higher risk for the club. Ever more so given Neto’s injury problems.

Just curious..anyone have any idea how the Wolves fans feel about the transfer?

My MIL who's a wolves fan sent me this message on Friday..

"Gutted !!! You've stolen Pedro from us 🤦‍♀️😩😩😩"

Now I may be wrong but I think she was a little upset 😄

Beaten to it, but the idea that it provides security is a nice theory that, imo, ignores reality. It's generally pretty easy to extend a player's contract when they're doing well, and generally easy for a player to force their way out years early if that's what they want. All a long deal does is tie you into a liability for longer than you know it's profitable to have it. I can't buy that securing low wages long term is a reason, either. If a player thinks their market value wage has increased, they'll agitate for it.  We've been successful enough to only see it from the purchasing side in recent decades, but that can quickly change.

In reality, no club really holds any more cards with a 7 year deal than they do a 5 year one. As with everything we're doing, it'd be fine in moderation but instead we're tying ourselves into these deals for literally every signing.

Ah..but he will always have the "Medical Issue" discussion triumph!👨‍⚕️🤣

His post when that poor player got zapped in the head by lightning had me giggling for ages. I know it was wrong because I think the player died, but it was still an hilarious post. IMO 🤪 ⚡️🤣💀

Pedro Neto “ If I had been here last season, according to what the boys told me, I would have been injured by now. The training looks very tactical, like a chess game."

The first public pop at Poch.  Not sure he was meant to share that.  

What will Pulisic be thinking now that Poch has been confirmed as USMNT coach? 😬
