If you consistently pick up points and then invest again in January then pushing for 7th isn't at all outlandish. You seem to have a decent team and everything below top 6 is wide open.
Jorge Mendes and Wolverhampton Wanderers

- Start date
I think we’re already picking up points consistently, drew with two of the top 4, beat all the teams who we’d expect to be around expect Leicester which was while we were stil gelling. Unbeaten in 6 now too, Watford a big test.

Apparently replacement is also Mendes player.
To be fair running two big clubs, the national team, the federation and half of the sports magazines should be admired.
He’s a crooked as they come and for that reason I could give a feck less about him.
Footballing world will be better when he is no longer a part of it.
Mental
No conflict of interest there.
Have no clue how it can be enforced but this kind of thing should not be allowed.
Down with this sort of thing
Benfica fans used to praise him right?
Yet Another nasty agent. Most of them are scumbags anyway.
Low fee as a favour to Mourinho as his number 1 client.
Should be some sort of investigation into him.
But as no-one can even pin anything on Man City, there's not much chance of this guy getting found out!

I am sure they love him. Corrupt loves corrupt.
Signing Fabio Silva for 35m from Porto. 
15 games last season, 1 goal.

You won’t be laughing when you see him play.Signing Fabio Silva for 35m from Porto.
Been following him since U18 level and he’s an all round striker and has been lethal at youth level.
This is exactly the kind of player I’d expect Real Madrid to come in for in 2 years time.
Yup, have a feeling this guy will be a star, highly thought of at Porto, although not at wolves, the way they play doesn't suit him.
He has everything you’d want in a striker and I think he’ll be fine at Wolves given a season to bulk up.
No doubt, he's a great youngster, only 18 but just won the UEFA Youth League, Portuguese League and Portuguese Cup

Best new youngster U19 2018/19;
Top Scorer for Portugal U19.
“Supports Aston Villa” comment makes sense.Signing Fabio Silva for 35m from Porto.
He’s so highly rated we’ve been scouting him since he was 16. Portugal have such high hopes for him, so pleased he’s at Wolves.
Another local signing for a local team. Nice and local.
Does seem to be a jealous Midlands vibe to it.
This is the kind of signing Villa could only dream of. Instead they’ve got probably the most useless ST in the league.
Should put a cap on the number of Portuguese players Wolves allowed to sign.
Think Mendes doesn’t understand the “homegrown” rule.
For all the talk of how highly rated he is, can anyone think of any other 18 year olds with only 12 league appearances being signed for so much money?
That's what stands out to me

This fee makes ZERO sense and is absurd.
For one the kid has 3 senior goals to his name and has not even played many first games in the first team to begin with.
The simple answer is...this is a Jorge Mended deal. A lot of corrupt business as usual. An 18 year old kid with Zero first team experience for “40M” is simply absurd.
This smells like a flop waiting to happen given the “price tag”.

The reason is Jorge Mendes. He is a corrupt corrupt man and he basically owns Wolves.
He puts who ever he wants in Wolves and makes a majority Of his money that way.
The kid is not near 40M or 30M or 20M
He has proven nothing at all. On top of that Portugal are not known to produce quality forwards we have never done it in our history besides lightning in a bottle a couple of times.
For the price tag he will flop big time.
Silva turns into the best striker in FM quite a lot of the time. I’ve never seen him play.
Makes the Martial fee look sensible.
Didn’t they sign another highly rated young striker last season and then sold him off within 6 months?
Calm down, fella. This Silva might turn out to be good but it’s entirely reasonable to question spending 40m euros on an 18 year old who started 1 game for Porto last season.just another Mendes special. That whole Wolves/Fosun/Mendes setup reeks ... if at least they were fun to watch on the pitch, but I'd honestly prefer to watch paint dry than sit through a Wolves game.
Your not wrong mate. The fee makes zero sense.
Mendes owns the club plain and simple.
Local lad Lingard likes this.
The superagent is absolute poison for the game. How I wish Ceferin was serious about limiting their influence. All empty talk as always
yeah pretty much. I really don't get how an agent can be allowed to have so much obvious influence on one club.
