ExactlyMid july..... the season starts 6th august it doesnt give much time for new singings to intergrate.

Clubs will know we are a sell to buy club. They'll keep us waiting as long as they can knowing at some point we'll accept lower offers for players as we have no choice if we want to bring in new faces before the window shuts.Mid july..... the season starts 6th august it doesnt give much time for new singings to intergrate.
Celtic, Wolves and West Brom are tracking St Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj. His suitors are set to watch Vasilj in action for Bosnia during this month's Nations League games.

Because the one they want to buy is probably younger and better.Why let a back up keeper go on a free to then buy one

And cheaper wages for someone who doesn’t play 95% of the time.Because the one they want to buy is probably younger and better.
He was someone that was mentioned earlier. I was doubtful originally. He’s developed late in his career as he scored a shed load in the Belgium leagues including the top division before moving to Italy. Venezia were relegated and he scored 9 goals which turns out to be 25% of their total league goals and assisted 3 more so was involved in 33% of their league goals. There are plenty of highlights of him and their games. A particularly interesting one is versus local rivals Verona, 3-0 up in 30 minutes and lose 4-3. Imagine if that happened vs Albion.Corriere del Veneto in Italy are reporting Wolves have meeting with Venezia in next few days regarding transfer of Thomas Henry .. Veneezia are believed to want €15m while Wolves are supposed to have offered €10m but the paper believes a compromise will not be a problem .. he meets Bruno's profile of a 6ft 4 ins target man

Which is a chain that makes sense, but Barca still probably couldn’t afford Neves after that.Is it reasonable to assume we’re waiting for Utd to throw a big wad of cash at Barca for de Jong, then Ruben will go to them with the money they get to replace him and we then move for Palhinha?
De Jong > Utd
Neves > Barca
Palhinha > Wolves
I would be worried with him as a regular starter. But off the bench with 5 subs it’s probably worth it.If he's going to be our starting striker it could be a problem but as a option off the bench or rotation then I'll be happy with it.
Looks decent
I think he could be quite decent to be fair looks better than the Strasbourg forwardCorriere del Veneto in Italy are reporting Wolves have meeting with Venezia in next few days regarding transfer of Thomas Henry ..

Much as I would love us to keep Neves, our owners lack of ambition resulting in our not playing in Europe makes it almost inevitable that he will go.Let's assume we were always going to try and sign Palinha regardless of what happens with Neves.
If we then sell MGW, Donk, Adama and, say Sanderson for a total of about £60M but kept Neves. Would that be considered good business?
Obviously this is separate to our issues with a striker and defenders which I would hope we're looking to do something about as well.
No idea who he is so thought I’d check him out, big ****ing unit isn’t he. The one thing I did notice was the Venezia black kit is one of the best looking kits going.He was someone that was mentioned earlier. I was doubtful originally.

He is. His stats are slightly better in that Venezia only scored 34 goals last league season and Henry only started in something like 25 league games. Worryingly Who’s Scored say he’s very weak at holding onto the ball but that could be a consequence of others around him. Compare his contribution to Cutrone and it’s night and day. Possibly offer them Cutrone in exchange.No idea who he is so thought I’d check him out, big ****ing unit isn’t he.

A french striker, wears no. 14, called T. Henry... we should be all over this!Corriere del Veneto in Italy are reporting Wolves have meeting with Venezia in next few days regarding transfer of Thomas Henry .. Veneezia are believed to want €15m while Wolves are supposed to have offered €10m but the paper believes a compromise will not be a problem .. he meets Bruno's profile of a 6ft 4 ins target man
That’s a good shout..Possibly offer them Cutrone in exchange.
And with teams like Roma and Barca reportedly interested it reduces the chances of him playing against us next season.If he does have to leave .. then the more interested the higher the price
If we could get good money for him I would not object too much. Although he is still young and has improved his attacking play lacks end product and he is still somewhat weak defensively.Wonder if we could see RAN depart this summer?
The incentive, for them, in a Cutrone exchange being....?He is.

I disagree, in my opinion he will go from strength to strength, even if he tailed off towards the end of the season. His performance against Salah in the home game was outstanding.If we could get good money for him I would not object too much. Although he is still young and has improved his attacking play lacks end product and he is still somewhat weak defensively.
Just continued deferral that we aren’t signing someone until window opens / after intls / after neves goes / after de jong goes to Man U / JanuaryAny solid rumours or ITK bits the last few days?
Not sure that Cutrone would want to move to Serie B but it's probably his level, especially after the poor season he just had at Empoli.That’s a good shout..
I'm not sure those were the changes anyone's been nagging for I do agree though that it could be a catalyst as this side/squad is in desperate need of freshening up. Still, I wouldn't want both of Neves and Moutinho plus our best striker to move on all at the same time. My worry is that we'll end up with a Portugal B/C team - no way that's good enough for competing in the PL, which has become the de facto world league.People have been nagging on about needing changes for several windows ……well now they might get their wishes fulfilled.
I don’t see it as a bad thing. After two bad seasons, ( football qualitywise), some players leaving and new players arriving could be a positive catalyst.
We should hold on to RAN at all costs: has only shown it in glimpses - and needs to improve his fitness - but has enough quality to go to the very top.If we could get good money for him I would not object too much. Although he is still young and has improved his attacking play lacks end product and he is still somewhat weak defensively.
Like I said before. It was a hypothetical question.Much as I would love us to keep Neves, our owners lack of ambition resulting in our not playing in Europe makes it almost inevitable that he will go.

The point about 5 subs is a very good one. Seems like a pretty good idea to have a big striker to chuck on when you need a goal, which isn’t so much of an issue with 5 subs.Signing Henry would be like signing The Neck all those years ago
He's really not good enough, possibly as a late impact sub as there's going yo be 5 subs but I wouldn't be paying over a few million
Yes. All agreed. Getting commitments from players is the next step. I would like to see all our squad joined by Mid July.Well it depends how you see "quickly"
The window doesnt open for a week,and international agencies dont reopen till July
So if we are waiting for cash to come in it would be mid July before we can buy lol
Ofc we can tie deals up before that but will we ? I certainly hope so
Always a worry in any individual.Scott Sellars say ‘I’ a lot of the time.
