Of course, it is what it is. That doesn't alter the fact it has been him holding it up all along, and not a couple of million pounds we were supposedly haggling over.

Ulitmately the narrative will be its Levys fault.....?‍♂️

of this is solely down to mendes, he is a fucking PARASITE! and we should have no dealings with him again!

Not Levy this one but Paratici. That depends if we have alternative targets. Complete failure of scouting if not. But this will wait till the summer now, and we won't manage more than 3 first teamers then.

Sadly he's just doing his job as an agent. As for not dealing with him again that might be tough as probably one of the biggest football agents in the world.

I wonder if we miss out on Traore and get Diaz whether Conte might actually end up with Moura right wing back and Diaz, Kane, Son as his front 3. If he's going to convert someone to wing back then no better option than Moura really.

I'd still wait to see whether a more reputable source starts running with this - they player probably does prefer a move to Barca but whether or not they actually make a move is another matter.

Gerard Romero is as good as it gets for Barca news.

He was always a bit of a punt. Could have been a revelation, could have been a dud. Would have been fun that's for sure.

My worry is that we won't have another RWB option now. I suspect we'll stick with what we've got until the summer and Lucas will get deployed there late in games we are chasing (especially if Diaz comes in).

If the Traore move falls through can see us persevering with Royal and Doherty until the end of the season, then going in big for a dedicated RWB (e.g. Lamptey) in the summer.

I wouldn't be remotely surprised if we're looking for a specialist RWB come the summer even if we do get Traore, as I just can't see a world in which Traore becomes our regular starting RWB week-in/week-out.

I thought this would be our big deadline day.

Think it will just be Amrabat. I'm sure he'll be good for Conte.

But yeah I guess its building towards an underwhelming climax.

Still retain a glimmer of hope that because of the Conte factor we'll get a Diaz or whatever but it feels fanciful.

Blessing in disguise if he goes to Barca.

He's not a RWB and will end up as yet another impact player off the bench as he's too inconsistent to start every game in the front 3 or reliably defend as a wing back. Don't know why so many people think he will revolutionise our attack when he's always been a rotational option at Wolves.

Would much rather we sign a proper, dedicated attacking RWB for the long term than trying to shoe-horn in Traore cos he's Paratici's pet project. Doesn't even sound like Conte is that fussed about him.

Who is a proper dedicated RWB these days though? And who we could actually get who we can call as such? It's not like it's the most common position to specialise in and Conte is renowned for having wingers playing there.

Not arguing with the call for a player as such but to me it's not like there are loads of candidates.

Can’t lie I’m really confused here.

This seemed done a few days ago now it’s off whilst we’ve still got bugger all in.

What is actually going on?
