Transfer Rumours Summer 2018

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Gonna be an exciting one, fully expecting everyone in the Gestifute stable to be linked. Ronaldo, Rodriguez, Costa and Falcao will surely be linked at some point, though I do think we'll sign one or two amazing players off their books.

Anyway to get the ball rolling:

Wolves poised to spend £20m to sign Willy Boly and Benik Afobe on long-term deals

 

[dennison11]

Personally i think £20m for those 2 is a good deal. If you think Van Dijk went for, what, £75m, Boly at around the £10m mark is an absolute steal. And £10m for what I think will be effectively a back up striker is a very good price.

In conversation in Geneva earlier this year, Mendes told Ed Woodward to keep an eye on Wolves because if they were promoted to the PL they would spend 250million! My source is a long-term friend of Ed W..

It’ll be a while before we are treading on their toes imo

July then?

 

[NewarkWolf]

July then?

Haha maybe mid August

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Early noises about Talisca and Whilshire, apparently we're competing with Bestikas and Everton, but we've already seen off Liverpool and Chelsea this season

Wolves 'make contact' with Anderson Talisca

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Didn't someone on here claim that James Rodriquez and Andre Silva were 'done deals and you heard it here first' ?? Sorry can't remember who it was.

They did , you are quite correct, but I can't remember either

Signing Talisca? Someone should start a thread on that.

 

[WasStefan]

This threads gonna be legendary

What a time to believe alive

 

[RosehillWolf]

Kenny Miller is out of contract ....

 

[WolfLing]

Kenny Miller on a free.

 

[Keyser Soze]

This is going to be the best summer of transfer madness ever! Nobody is safe from us

Andre Silva and Talisca will be the early front runners due to past rumors so you'd have to say there's credence in those rumors

I think Guedes on loan makes sense as this seasons 'Jota'

Wilshere... This seasons 'Bennett'

That leaves some great rumors to come for the wing-back roles, another CH and maybe GK to come from nowhere too, possible another forward too (after the loans are confirmed of course)

Hold on to your hats! Love it

 

[RichB]

How about Robbie Keane?

 

[RosehillWolf]

Wilshere or Ward-Prowse CM
Shaw or Bertrand ...Gibbs ? LB
Evans or Luis CB
Silva , Talisca , Torres ST

Be happy with one from each section

 

[wolfgar]

Finally signing?

 

[Andy]

They did , you are quite correct, but I can't remember either

I think it was @Mile End Wanderer

 

[Perton Wolf]

£10m for an English striker like Afobe is a good price, you need to consider the fact that players like Hogan and McCormack have gone for £15m in recent years.
And £10m for Boly is an absolute bargain, he's been immense this season and is one of the players I have no worries with when it comes to stepping up to the Prem next season.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Shaw or Bertrand ...Gibbs ? LB

Nah, left back will be Alex Telles as previously linked a few months back.

 

[E is for idiot.]

I think I might have to invest in some new pants once the summer really kicks into gear.

[old wittonian]

How about

How about Robbie Keane?

Him about him

 

[Deleted member 4453]

ahhhhh... it has begun....

Didn't someone on here claim that James Rodriquez and Andre Silva were 'done deals and you heard it here first' ?? Sorry can't remember who it was.

Utter bafflement if we get Rodriguez. I have a replica of his world cup shirt from 4 years ago as its a top design from Adidas, just remember him being top drawer. Fallen off the scene a bit, doing well at Bayern so I've heard. Dreamland sort of signing.

Imagine the goal celebrations...

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Fallen off the scene a bit, doing well at Bayern so I've heard. Dreamland sort of signing.

He's hardly fallen off the scene, he's had his best season since moving to Madrid and not playing week in week out. The Munich team is pretty much built around him.

He'll be staying with Bayern by many account.

 

[KiwiWolf]

Not guilty! However, Wilshere ........ great player WHEN FIT! It’s keeping him fit that’s the issue! Needs wrapping in cotton wool. He’s a bit like an injury prone Jota but alongside Neves in midfield would be bloody awesome if fit.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I think it was @Mile End Wanderer

From what I’ve heard Silva is done as done can be he was in London with Jota last week. As for Rodriguez that’s a big question mark but his deal at real is up next season. We all know Bayern don’t like paying big fees

 

[KiwiWolf]

Didn't someone on here claim that James Rodriquez and Andre Silva were 'done deals and you heard it here first' ?? Sorry can't remember who it was.

RODRIGUEZ!!!! Now that would be bloody dreamland, utopia and heaven all rolled into one. However, the chances of Bayern letting him go and not exercising their right to buy at the end of next season would be zero IMO. The guy’s a potential world beater and I think we’re a couple of years off the likes of him currently. We can but dream however!

 

[Oxford Wolf]

Silva
Boly
Afobe
Jota
Bonatini
N'Diaye
Vinagre

That's probably £75m-£80m just between those 7, assuming we make the last 3 loans permanent signings.

Jota was with his brother last week not the ac Milan ‘silva’

I heard a similar thing from someone who has a contact in the club, though the amount mentioned is £210 million!

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Correct - this was confirmed by a Portuguese Wolves follower on Twitter.

 

[cannockwolves]

I had not realised that the transfer window has been brought forward for the premier league this year. It is due to open on 17th May and close on 9th August.

I can see some early activity. We are going to want to pick of some talent that may increase in value after the world cup.

So exciting!

sorry didn't mean it like that. I meant he made a huge impact in that world cup, moved to Madrid where I remember it being reported everywhere, and it seemed to go quiet around him till this season. Bad wording apologies.

 

[Goodbye Horse]

Silva
Boly
Afobe
Jota
Bonatini
N'Diaye
Vinagre

Swap Afobe for Vinagre and bin the last three. I'm sure with a pre -season Mir would be an adequate 3rd striker, putting £10 mill back in the kitty. I would certainly prefer developing our young talent over sentiment.

Fosun tightening the purse strings already!

We poached relegated players last time we were in the PL and look where that got us.

 

[Derbywolf85]

If we're listing some potentials or players we would love to see at Wolves there are two DM's I would absolutely love to see alongside Neves...

William Carvalho and Radja Nainngolan.

Both unrealistic, but after the Neves deal it feels like nothing is truly off the table anymore
