Summer Transfer Window 2022.

[AndyWolves]

My bad, source is a 10 year old virgin with mommy/daddy issues. I'm ****ing done.

Don't believe everything you read, most of it, including what I write, is *******s

 

[Supadavewolf]

Is being a10 year old virgin is something to be ashamed of in this day and age?

There aren't many in Telford.....

 

[steve vena]

Moutinho should be nowhere near a regular starter next season. Shouldn't have been this season and arguably the one prior. We need mobility and presence there and have done for god knows how long now. Maybe even, dare I say, someone who averages more than 1 goal a year.

But then again, we do seemingly have a 10 year ban on signing a first team CM hanging over us that we're nearly half way through so I guess it's to be expected.

Mouts is a legend but he has to be used sparingly now. No way I'd go for a 2 year deal Jesus.

 

[steve vena]

I hate to break this to you but this guy ain't necessarily an upgrade. He ain't quick, or a great goalscorer.

If he passes it forward and not 50 yards back to Cody I'm a fan lol. Gerrimin!

It is in sandwell

 

[Supadavewolf]

Point of clarification please.

I appreciate our window opened Jun 10th, but the Portuguese window doesn't open until July 1st.

Does this mean that transfers between English and Portuguese clubs are not likely to be formally announced before the start of next month?

Nunez was announced by Liverpool today and I think Benfica announced last night. So no.

I wouldn't get to caught up on the dates of when transfer windows open in the summer as you can always sign players and announce them before the window opens anyway and if the players are on holiday's etc it won't matter if they will be at the club at that point more the point they will all be there for the 1st day of pre season...

I think it depends, I guess there is a difference between contracts between buying and selling clubs being agreed, and the transfer actually happening in terms of players registrations changing hands.

I suspect Liverpool and Benfica have agreed the former.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

I'd add Hoever £10m to that.

That's a ridiculous figure for a bit part player who isn't any good anyway.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Link?? How can we sort deal with him but not Palhinha ridiculous……….. Although talk about midfield upgrades

I think the point is likely more that personal terms have been agreed with both, but the purchase of both is subject to securing an acceptable price for Neves.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Woodside massive

Agreed if they are offering 45m then of course we aren’t going to accept that

Personal terms should not be a problem for players from Portugal. Transfer fee is another matter.

LA is a ****hole. People who equate California with LA don't know what they're talking about. The state has everything: beautiful beaches, redwood forests, mountains with some of the best skiing, deserts...you name, the state has it.

I grew up and still live in the suburbs of San Diego one mile from the beach. Other than the cost of living for housing, it's fantastic. Funny, after returning from the UK a couple of weeks ago, I commented when we flew over LA how people must think it's so brown and ugly. So, my advice, fly in and get out. The Central Coast between Santa Barbara and San Francisco (San Luis Obispo, wineries in Paso Robles, Big Sur, Carmel) is rugged, uncrowded, and beautiful. San Francisco is the most "European" city, with a good transit system - the food there is fantastic. Yosemite National Park is truly one of the seven wonders of the world - it will take your breath away.

Enough travel guide commentary.

(P.S. loved London, but liked Edinburgh more. Isle of Skye was spectacular as was driving through the highlands--your roundabouts were a pain in the ass though. Had a great trip!)

I like parts of LA Santa Monica especially, I thought Santa Barbara wasn't all that though! Carmel is lovely though, the drive round pebble beach is nice too

Santa Monica was very nice when we stayed there.

Yeah and we paid it lol

I’m actually disappointed he’s signing a new deal which I know I’ll get hammered for.

I want us to move on.

 

[Premier Quality]

Good post. Do you think Donk would stay should se sign Palhinha, assuming he’s primarily there as cover for DM and CB?

I bloody hope not, he’s terrible - should be sold as soon as we get a half decent offer

 

[old wittonian]

Seems like Roberto Martinez doesn't share your view.

 

[hambaps]

Seems like Roberto Martinez doesn't share your view.

To be fair, I'd value anyone's opinion of a player over Martinez.

 

[old wittonian]

That's probably why he's a highly rated manager and you're not as far as I know.

He's utter garbage as a manager.

 

[Skrilla]

LA Galaxy?

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

It’s the system that doesn’t fit LD look at him in a back 3 different quality altogether

 

[Rabid Wolf]

LA Galaxy?

LAFC

Can't believe people are advocating selling RAN honestly

I know. He's our best full back right now, and he's only gonna improve.

 

[JadeWolf]

Can't believe people are advocating selling RAN honestly

He’s one of a few players (with Kilman, Neto, Sa) we should be building our team for the next few years around.

 

[peter&thewolf]

If we can't afford to pay out 15 million to sign a player, we really are in trouble

 

[Jd132]

First my take on the primary concerns of this thread:-

1) I loved living in London for 4 years and the Black Country is definitely not as good (although it is where I live now primarily for economic reasons).

2) LA and Vegas are much better than San Francisco because they are more genuinely American rather than faux European.

Then onto the secondary concerns of this thread:-

I still think we are going to buy Carmo, Palhinha, Nunes and Guedes whilst we will move on Neves, Traore, Moutinho, Sanderson, Hoever and Ronan to cover the spend.

 

[hollo]

That's probably why he's a highly rated manager and you're not as far as I know.

Not highly rated at all, you're wrong.

 

[Notsoslimshady]

If we had a first choice pairing like Palhinha and Nunes, with Moutinho as a rotation option, plus a high potential younger player, that should be enough unless you get unlucky with injuries (we are due a lucky season on this front).

In the same way that Mouts and Neves as first choice with Donk rotational and a promising youngster was completely unacceorable last season?

Sorry. Don't see how this is any different.

One of the biggest gripes was going into the season with 3 first team midfielders, now it's suddenly ok because 2 of the 3 are sparkly new ones.

Not that i use this as a reason for Donk to stay, but don't really see that it is enough

 

[MattH]

Yeah and we paid it lol

Wouldn't be surprised to see Hoever go on a season loan with option for £10m. Whether PSV pay that at the end is another matter...

 

[Cookyssweetleftfoot]

That's a ridiculous figure for a bit part player who isn't any good anyway.

Yet we paid it to Liverpool

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Yet we paid it to Liverpool

We do have a long and glorious tradition of paying over the odds for players though so it's only to be expected.

I guess we fell into the trap of believing the media hype around a Liverpool youngster

 

[Skrilla]

Where does he fit in though? Are you starting him over Jonny at left back? If somebody offers us silly money for him now, they should absolutely take it if it means we have the funds to address bigger problems (prolific winger, an actual centre back, midfielder with pace)

 

[AlexWolvesHD]

Bordeaux due to financial issues have been relegated to the french 3rd division meaning a lot of their players will most likely be sold quickly and cheap. Sounds like the sort of situation we love to take advantage of so had a look at who they have.

The one that stood out was Ahmedhodzic, 23 year old 6'3 right footed Bosnia-Herzegovina International centre back who they have an obligation to buy from Malmo for €4mil who spent his youth years at Nottingham Forest making him a home grown player.

He starts over Jonny for me, and I like Jonny. I just think Ait-Nouri is a better player and a better long term prospect.
