Jack Price?
Talisca's plane finally landed?!
Why so cryptic? Just tell us who it is if you have actual knowledge.
Yout85's alter egoHe's waiting till it's announced by wolves,and then he'll say that's the one.
Optics. The fume when we all have to finally deal with the idea that Neves is off, then help mitigate that with a big signing.If the deal is done why would we have to wait for outgoings from a paper thin squad to be finalised before announcing it? There may well be a deal in place, I know **** all, that just makes no sense.
Well if you’re comparing buying international footballers from top European sides, to buying **** from Toys R Us, then I praise the baby Jesus that you’re not in charge of Wolves finances.Yes, when my children ask why they didn't get presents from santa I tell them the elves asked for €45 and I only offered €35...I tried! Honest!
My thoughts too.Optics. The fume when we all have to finally deal with the idea that Neves is off, then help mitigate that with a big signing.
And of course, knowing the fee for him is as good as banked/on books before conforming spending a wedge.
It’s like Silva / Jota all over againMy thoughts too.
Not saying its true, just that I'd heard similar rumours to Andy (though maybe not the same player?).
Who did you hear then?My thoughts too.

Almoatasembellah Al-MusratiPahlinha or Nico for me - Al Musrati, no thanks.
Yes, we know making up that 10m difference in buying one player will surely make Wolves "pull a Leeds" and end up back in division 3! Do not pass go, do not collect 200 quid, go straight to League One! Right onWell if you’re comparing buying international footballers from top European sides, to buying **** from Toys R Us, then I praise the baby Jesus that you’re not in charge of Wolves finances.

If it’s anything, I agree with Seferovic but I’m not convinced the original poster is ITK

I’ll be the first to acknowledge and appreciate anyone with any real and reliable information. I consistently applaud and thank @Cornwall Wolf who has proven to be a reliable source.Guys, come on. @AndyWolves has attempted to appease/reassure some of the pant wetters who are worried that Villa have signed 3 and we've signed no one, by passing on info that he believes is reliable, that we've already got someone lined up and ready to be announced. What does he get?.... the usual cycle of "banter" we get every window that resurfaces when someone sticks their head in the firing line.
He's been around this board a fair bit and I don't recall him having a history of making attention seeking statements. For whatever reason @AndyWolves clearly doesn't want to say who it is.
Far too many decent posters have gone or choose not to post now due to similar feedback, can we not just take the info provided and leave it at that? God forbid, just wait until the window opens and see what happens.
Surely the purpose of forums is to discuss events, developments and offer views on news and rumours. How is someone posting in good faith, a snippet that they have heard from an apparently reliable source, "taking advantage" of other Mixers? If your threshold was to be applied across the board this would be a boring, tedious and horribly sterile place. I am mystified too about what you believe anyone might gain from sharing such information.I’ll be the first to acknowledge and appreciate anyone with any real and reliable information. I consistently applaud and thank @Cornwall Wolf who has proven to be a reliable source.
The issue is there are too many attention seeking fake journos here and on twitter, so I’ve made it my mission to call out these individuals to end the facade of being in the know.
@AndyWolves claimed that (1) we have already made a signing, (2) that the signing was already mentioned on this thread as a potential signing and (3) that we wouldn’t be impressed. Given all that, why not go the step further and tell us who it is, if they actually know? It’s not like his source would be revealed given the public knowledge. We are all active reviewers of this thread because we want to know what’s happening with our club before the wider public knows.
Instead it seems that @AndyWolves and those like him are just using our desires to be relatively in the know for their own perceived gain.
If I am wrong about @AndyWolves or anyone else in the thread I will be the first to admit it and apologize.
My goal is certainly not to prevent people from sharing news here, I just want to avoid wannabes and attention seekers from taking advantage of me and the other members of this forum.

The issue is whether such poster is actually posting in good faith. Take a look at the #wwfc feed on Twitter and you’ll see plenty of posters making transfer rumors up for whatever gain that the short attention gets them.Surely the purpose of forums is to discuss events, developments and offer views on news and rumours.

I think you’ll see from my twitter feed that I call out fake journos and ITKs as well. The difference here is that it’s harder to determine on this platform is this person is a bull****er or actually has information (whether from an inside source or the chef at the mount).I think the point is, exercising some due diligence first before jumping to the calling them out posts. You mention twitter yourself.... what do you do when you see some transfer news on twitter - take it face value or at least make an attempt to see how may followers they have, look at their recent posts etc for BS quota and arrive at your own conclusions? Can we at least not try to exercise some of the same thought process first before "calling them out".
If you don't like attention seeking posts or don't want to be taken advantage of, what's the best thing to do............ DON'T GIVEN THEM THE ATTENTION THEY ARE SEEKING by replying and do your own due diligence first on whether the info might be decent or not!
Thanks. I block them when you point it out.I think you’ll see from my twitter feed that I call out fake journos and ITKs as well.

I am not in the know .. just post what I hear .. reference the imminent signing I have no idea but have 2 guessesI’ll be the first to acknowledge and appreciate anyone with any real and reliable information. I consistently applaud and thank @Cornwall Wolf who has proven to be a reliable source.

Almeida would make sense TBH, if we go for musrati, surely that would mean we have passed on palinhaI am not in the know .. just post what I hear .. reference the imminent signing I have no idea but have 2 guesses
Andre Almeida as I know he was the further forward in negotiations but not settled
2nd would be Musrati simply because he was allowed to Libyian traing camp to sort his future out
But as I said these are just guesses
And as an aside Villa have not signed anyone yet . They have deals done but until the window opens and the deals are registered they are not Villa players
And I thought sitting on the bog taking a dump was transfer activitySummer transfer thread just won't be the same when we start signing players. I'll miss the days when we'd all be sat on the bog having a ****, moaning about our lack of transfer activity.

Plan A and B, nice and early, in a vital position.Maybe not passed but other teams now looking at him
Depends if plan A and B are 3rd/4th choice and just the cheap options?Plan A and B, nice and early, in a vital position.
But of course, we’re clueless.
Which is why I prefer us not to be "linked" to anyone. I'd rather just know after the deal is really done.Maybe not passed but other teams now looking at him
