Benik Afobe ; Wolves > Stoke

Wed Dec 18, 2019 11:39 am

Anyone remember when Wolves signed Benik Afobe and then sold him straight away last season?

Random question but anyone know potential reasons behind things like this? Surely the player and club agreed terms they were happy with prior to the move.

I don't see the point in Wolves signing him in the first place.

Same happened to Donervan Daniels this season. Signed for Luton and then straight to Doncaster?

Maybe it was in the agreement that if they went up they had to sign him for a set price.

they were fortunate to make a profit on him as well.
strangely enough that deal was also initially a 6 month loan with an obligation to purchase...

David Unsworth springs to mind.

Signed by Villa from West Ham cos his mrs wanted him to be closer to her in Liverpool.
After driving from Villa to home in Liverpool realised it wasn't as close as they thought. After a week and 1 pre-season friendly he asked to leave and signed for Everton.
