Summer Transfer Window 2022.

[Hoganstolemywife]

I'm sure I read this time last season we were in major danger of relegation. We don't know what our team will look like next season but I do know that some clubs will throw money around but won't improve much.

Yeah exactly.

I actually bought into it for this season. I don't buy into it for next season. I mean, we could struggle, sure. But long odds

Newcastle are the team that will be strong next season. They can outbid anyone for players, inc Liverpool and Man City. Our problem will be not enough wages offered, or the project isn't quite there. It'll be the Mendes carousel for us..

 

[JOSWolf]

Need to get over the obsession with throwing money at it as a solution, Villa and Everton have been out spending us for years just to look up the table at us. Man Utd have thrown obscene amounts of money at transfers and wages to spend a season fighting for Europa League with us. A clear structure and a long term plan/vision for where you want to go as club is worth far more.

Depends how you spend it I suppose. We spent a large amount of money very well when we first got promoted, under Nuno, on fees and wages. That's the sort of thing we need to do this summer to refresh things.

 

[Contrarian]

Can we sell them Cutrone, Semedo, Hwang and get them to take Trincao and Jose on loan?

Ouch Could we also sell them Chem Cambell for £35M as a "generational talent" thats scoring for fun in the Under-23's?

The second sentence they can out bid everyone but no proven Top player is going to Geordieland because they are awash with money and have Eddie Howe as their manger. The reality is if players are joining Newcastle it is for money or a stepping stone to something better. If they are to become a force it will take a while (off the pitch IMO will probably stop them at some point)

If anyone thinks they will challenge the big 6 next season they are gonna be way off. They will be throwing money at bang average players for a while with some sort of success it will be mid table for a while the gap is huge.

Newcastle are flying at the moment. Partly because they bought exactly the right amount and type of players to supplement their squad in January.

Allan Saint-Maximin is in the press today saying comments he made to a French publication were taken out of context. He has said something along the lines of looking forward to playing in a team of better players, as it would help him to increase his assist numbers if he was playing with players who could finish the chances he creates. Howe has had to step in to diffuse any unrest, saying, "our unity has been our main strength".

Well going into next season, Newcastle could have a bit of the same problem Villa have had this season if they try to 'upgrade' too many players, too soon. Matt Targett was one player who felt forced out when Villa signed Digne. He's played more often and better for Newcastle than Digne has for Villa.

If Howe is right and their unity is their strength, a summer of spending could really test that, so it's a bit of a balancing act. A similar sort of issue that we might have too.

Given their January window though, I expect Newcastle will probably get it right again and sign 3 or 4 top players. Another step towards gradually building an exceptional team.

Wolves leading race for Sporting player – Portuguese media optimistic about move - Sport Witness

Wolverhampton Wanderers are leading the race to sign Sporting midfielder João Palhinha, according to reports from Portugal today. Newspaper Record features a story saying the 26-year-old is a ‘preferential target’ for the Molineux side, who may have to replace Ruben Neves this summer. Palhinha...

us leading race for Palhinha makes lot of sense since spurs were linked with him yesterday. Clearly him and/or his agent ****ting it at the very real prospect of having to join us, so throwing in some other potential destinations

He’s coming here, Neves leaving

Trust us

Trust us

Palhinha has been joining us for years. I won't believe it until he turns up at Compton or Cornwall says its true.

Cos he’s the replacement for neves

£70 million is a good price I think, but it completely depends on how we spend it. I hate the idea of him playing for another PL club. No doubt he'll come back to Molineux and score a worldie against us.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

It's not that I don't think Neves will move on, he deserves to play for a better team, it's that I don't trust Shi to spend the money needed to attract a decent replacement.

I think the days of big spending are over and we will have to get used to bargains like Hwang.

Hope to be proved wrong. I also hope for a new stadium like we were promised.

70 mil is a very very fair price. Would wish him well. That would buy us two young strikers from Portugal!

 

[JOSWolf]

70 million would be acceptable to be fair. Would need to spend it very well though of course.

 

[Ponty]

I think the days of big spending are over and we will have to get used to bargains like Hwang.

Hwang might be many things but at £14m one thing he isn't is a bargain!

 

[Jd132]

I think that bringing in Palhinha and Guedes will show Neves we mean business and in turn, once they are in place, he will sign a new deal.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

70 mil is a very very fair price. Would wish him well. That would buy us two young strikers from Portugal!

To be immediately loaned out to grasshoppers no doubt

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

The deal with Neves and United is being sorted as we speak

 

[Tring Wolf]

Will be heartbreaking if and when Neves leaves but he absolutely deserves to be playing at the highest level. Wouldn’t look out of place in any top side in the world.

£70m (plus £15-20m for the Donk) and a revamped midfield of Palhinha, Sanches/Nunes (although I think they will both have better offers), Vitinha and MGW is probably the best we can hope for.

Bring in Guedes, Pedrinho and a big, quick centre back and the job’s a good ‘un.

And a striker.

Agree totally about Neves.

Inside info or just a hunch

 

[SuperGran]

I hope not if he leaves I would hope it’s for champions league football

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

I note the thumbs up from cornwall. Maybe it's true!

 

[Wolf316]

And a striker.

Agree totally about Neves.

Yep this one is going to hurt the most.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Ugh. Of all the ****ing places. I feel sick already.

 

[SB_Upper]

Not trying to start arguments, but your track record is far from 100%, so I'm interested to see how this one unfolds

 

[Stoichkov]

Uniteds new kit is **** and he will look awful in it. I will avoid all media *sobs*

 

[WickedWolfie]

Can we sell them Cutrone, Semedo, Hwang and get them to take Trincao and Jose on loan?

Loaning a player who is currently at the club but doesn't belong to us and another who was on loan for half of last season...
Yeah, right. A bigger joker than Chris Rock....

 

[Supadavewolf]

I note the thumbs up from cornwall.

Well spotted.

Oh, I hope it's not that lot.

 

[reanswolf]

Palhinha should be a replacement for Donk, not Neves.

Hate the thought of him going to Manure, could also ruin his career.

 

[WickedWolfie]

It's not that I don't think Neves will move on, he deserves to play for a better team, it's that I don't trust Shi to spend the money needed to attract a decent replacement.

I think the days of big spending are over and we will have to get used to "bargains" like Hwang.

Hope to be proved wrong. I also hope for a new stadium like we were promised.

Fixed that for you. Apart from a few bright moments among the dross Hwang looks far from a bargain. Why in God's name did we complete that deal in January when there was no need to?

 

[Matt]

If we do sell Neves, my hope is that United sign Frenkie De Jong from Barca for ridiculous money, leaving Barca with some cash for Neves.

Can’t face him coming back to Molineux to play against us.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

If Neves joins United I’m getting a divorce and moving back down to the midlands as I just wouldn’t be able to cope living up here.

Really not ready for Neves to leave at all, not gonna lie.

 

[Wolf316]

The only positive of Neves going to Manure is we will be able to rinse them with the fee.

 

[NottsWolves]

Said it before and will say it again.

He can do better than United!

 

[Ponty]

Loaning a player who is currently at the club but doesn't belong to us and another who was on loan for half of last season...
Yeah, right. A bigger joker than Chris Rock....

My comment was a reply to clubs throwing money about and not improving and loaning those two would certainly not improve them.

 

[Stoichkov]

Said it before and will say it again.

He can do better than United!

Agreed currently but sadly sooner or later they’ll come good and if Ten Hag is as good as suggested then good luck to ruben

I care more about us making these deals count and continuing our upward trajectory 7-7-13-8/9 is very good for a club that’s been ****e for 40 years - our biggest test is yet to come, reinventing the squad with small net spend and without him, our best player and Raul in decline

I’d take mid table next season with signs of future team emerging

 

[Berlin Wolf]

70 mil is a very very fair price. Would wish him well. That would buy us two young strikers from Portugal!

100 million would be better, the price Bruno mentioned.
I guess that was the ceiling price from which a deal, a lower price like 70m would be thrashed out.
Anyway, who is selling Ruben, Wolves or the media?

 

[StraightToPopworld]

Without going into the whole FFP thing… 70 million coming in makes a massive difference. It almost allows us to bring in 4 or 5 quality players (spreading the outgoing payments across 5 year contracts in the books).
