He is going to turn 32 in over a month.

Still worth a lot more than £5m in today's market.

Must be on a six figure salary too at this stage of his career I would have thought.

Mendes manœuvres. I bet Moutinho’s thrilled. From Monte Carlo to Codsall.

The Wolves situation is like a time bomb. It is so obviously crooked.

imo the fee is much higher because it's Silva trying to buy back from the club that he was sacked from

Moutinho’s move makes me think it’s either a steal or there is something unknown to the world with this. Always rated him as the missing piece for AVB. May have been a bit delusional.

Absolutely...
He signed Richarlison at Watford, got the best out of him, and wants to link up with him again.
It's a £30 million deal if it was another club/manager, but there's bad blood, so Watford have added a premium.

Everyone knows what it's about. It's still bent as arseholes.

I'm guessing the relationship between the club and an agent. They deny he had any stake in the club, but there must be something in it for him (more than just fees)

Nah i dont buy it, he has a relationship with the owner, but alot of these players have brought into the Wolves Project, even signing on a perm deal.
Neves left Porto who he captained the side of in CL for this Wolves project.
obviously Mendes will be making money from Agent fee's but he is also putting these players into the shop window, most of the signings haven been young players, Costa, Neves, Cav, etc now they are looking for more experienced players, i think its a long term deal.
All clubs have releationship with certain Agents its a well known fact, they are part of the game. Wolves went from Mid-table championship to league winners. they brought good players, completely changed their style of play as well. from top to bottom players coaches and manager all buying into the same ethos, dont think its all down to dodgy brown envelopes.

Everton spunking £50m on yet another midfielder is slightly mental, they're so desperate for a striker.

Mendes is effectively acting as deal-maker for both player and club, which is illegal under FIFA rules. But it's very hard to pin anything on him or sanction the club unless they leave a money trail, which they've been clever about so far.
FIFA's next step in curtailing the power of agents should be to make it illegal for clubs to pay agents in transfer negotiations and for the player to be the sole payer to the agent, but that's not happening any time soon.

The EFL have looked into it and found no wrong-doing.
if he was sending over rubbish players and they was still mid-table championship would we batter an eye-lid?
Watford, QPR to name a few have done dealings with clubs where lots of players moved about but nothing was said?
