The happy days are here again, hopefully no more repeated arguments, transfer thread

[Dan G WWFC]

Weimann scored 22 in the Championship last season, he was 3rd top scorer (behind Mitrovic and Solanke). Written off too early, here, as usual. Playing in a team that finished 17th. Imagine what he would score in a good side!

I'm not sure that players will always score more in better teams. Maybe the team was just built around him to score goals.

He’s nowhere near Gallagher in terms of quality. He also doesn’t play the same position.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

loan with an option to buy Jeff????

Who knows what **** deal it will be

 

[Dan G WWFC]

He’s nowhere near Gallagher in terms of quality. He also doesn’t play the same position.

Swansea fans thought MGW was the better player and had more quality on the ball.

 

[DanishWolf]

Mouts has signed a one year deal. If Neves stays and MGW then there is no need to buy. Or rather, there is no money to (buy).

I suspect its the last option, as MGW is not going to play in central midfield.
A mess really if this is the midfield options we end up with:
A soon to be 36-year old, a true maestro but not getting younger.
A defensive midfielder with absolutely zero ability to change pace, and limited attacking ability.
A young player, not yet good enough, who needs a loan, not PL football
A player who's perfect for the role as an attacking midfielder, a role we do not use in the current system

And then Neves who's obviously brillant but can't do it on his own, needs somebody to complement what he lacks (pace, runs into the box, etc).

 

[sillytuna]

If we sell MGW I'll be really, really annoyed.

 

[Irish_Wolf]

It doesn't matter so much when they sign it's if they sign.

Rubbish. Pre season with your new team mates is a huge benefit.

 

[lobodelsur]

I don’t know anything about him but he does look fairly tall

His Mum's got terrible taste in trousers...

 

[lets all have a disco]

Sell Gibbs ...sign O'Brien from Huddersfield 10m...and caleta car 10m....

 

[Corporate Wolf]

If we sell MGW I'll be really, really annoyed.

Why the **** can't we get rid of that carthorse Dendoncker instead?

 

[DanishWolf]

I'd love us to play 433 with MGW as an attacking midfielder, supplemented by another AM that we buy.
I know people thought Palhinha and Neves would play the same position but actually a 433 with Neves as a defensive playmaker, Palhinha as a ball winner and then a fast, creative midfielder in front of them would've been fine.
Palhinha covers so much ground, him and Neves would've enabled us to press much higher up the field, and quickly recover lost possession.

As we supposedly backed out because we've better options, I'm really looking forward to see what that may be....

 

[Dan G WWFC]

If we sell MGW I'll be really, really annoyed.

Me too but depends on the deal. If we can get close to £30m plus a sell on then I'll be fine with that. Last time I heard he still wasn't interested on staying here.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Why the **** can't we get rid of that carthorse Dendoncker instead?

Because nobody wants to buy him

 

[Starsky]

Looks like players already here are about as interested in 'the project' as those we are trying to sign.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Rubbish. Pre season with your new team mates is a huge benefit.

It's certainly a benefit, no argument there. But them signing at all is more important than when they sign, or do you disagree?

 

[Joshwolf218]

Seems what previously was said about MGW is seemingly true

Doesn't seem to want to sign a contract, and if we let it run down he is worth less next year. If we can get 25-30 mil that's a good deal imo

Sure would love him to stay and play but without that protection of a contract extension we could lose out more money in the future.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Rubbish. Pre season with your new team mates is a huge benefit.

It’s why Bruno said he wanted new players in for pre-season. That went well.

 

[Joshwolf218]

I honestly think we could see protests soon if we have no action, and I can see why.

However I believe everyone should get behind the players no matter what.

 

[Mighty Thor]

Because nobody wants to buy him

But…. but….but “he’s a Belgium International” and Martinez and bruno “know more than some idiots on the mix” according to the apologists.

 

[Joshwolf218]

Yes but in the same soundbite he also said this

“We are working for that. In the same way we need to understand the policy of the club, the modern days. The first sale is going to be like a domino - the money will move.”

Protests??????...bit OTT dont you think.....I can understand derby fans or blues fans.... Come on....

 

[Mighty Thor]

My current hope for this transfer window is that we have not signed anyone because they are about to sack the Portuguese mr bean and replace him with a new manager and give him a blank cheque book.

Dreaming is for free.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Why the **** can't we get rid of that carthorse Dendoncker instead?

Maybe because if he is regarded as a carthorse by other team why would they spend money to acquire his services.

 

[Uncle Festa]

Thats thencrux of it with MGW. To get him.in the starting line up in a position he would be best at, we have to go 4 3 3. Which means no Coady, and us buying at least one extremely good centre half with leadership qualities. Cant see this happening.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Our plan seems to be to try and get Barca to overpay for Neves so we can then spend. But Barca just don't have the money to spend, no matter how much Mendes tries to grease those wheels.

If Neves is to go to Barca, it has to be a clever deal and is likely to include some young make weights and/or loans e.g Nico Gonzalez, Puig etc. Maybe some creative financing could be arranged too. If we are to get value for Neves this sounds in the hard to do category but you never know when Mendes is in the loop.

 

[Fifty Niner]

“We are working for that. In the same way we need to understand the policy of the club, the modern days. The first sale is going to be like a domino - the money will move.”

At the moment it seems they are pricing themselves out of the market. I wonder whether clubs will play hard ball and any deals won’t be done until after the season kicks off, which is 4 weeks on Saturday.

 

[Jawwfc]

I'd like MGW to stay however if he is to go at least there is going to be a bidding war for him and including one of the teams which likes to overpay (Everton)

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Protests??????...bit OTT dont you think.....I can understand derby fans or blues fans.... Come on....

I can see it soon IMO as the club use to be open when Fosun first came in now it's a closed book . Stadium , No players signing . Yes we have time but we said this in other windows before . I can't believe they put the season ticket prices up for fans to watch the same **** like last season .

 

[Joshwolf218]

There just seems to be overwhelming negativity only takes one wolves da to start it.

I just hope selling does help

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

I’d say two professional football coaches definitely know more than fans do.

It's hardly the 80s is it......you can't protest cause we ain't spending 100m in a transfer window....we would be the laughing stock of football....on our best run of consecutive top flight seasons in about 45 years . ..deary me...

Imagine the state of social.media if that's the case

 

[Stafford]

Why the **** can't we get rid of that carthorse Dendoncker instead?

Not really the same position.

 

[WickedWolfie]

He’s nowhere near Gallagher in terms of quality. He also doesn’t play the same position.

True but having Vieira, who was no slouch as a player himself, develop you might well be attractive to a young player.

 

[old wittonian]

Not according to some posts.

 

[Joshwolf218]

Well that's your opinion but multiple factors outside just spending money in transfers could come into play.

Increased Season tickets, match day costs, lack of communication in some cases, lack of stadium development. A focus on other business ventures which I get.

I'm not calling for protests just thinking it could be a thing first game of the season and nothing has happened don't you think the fans will start on fosun

No one makes you go, just saying.

 

[TheConcourse]

Two separate issues at play here:

Fans desire to play more attacking football
MGW

We can play more attacking football without MGW. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. £25m, unless he’s improved beyond all belief, is very good for us.

Snippet I’ve heard from the source that told me Moutinho is staying over a week ago: MGW is not concerned about staying. Happy to take a deal or listen to offers.

Take it one of two ways:

1. Players are desperate to leave because of deep-rooted cultural issues (they aren’t, btw)

2. The player fancies a new experience in the Capital.

Not every punch in the face means the whole house is on fire.

Please join the wally club and go and get a bed sheet and stand outside molineux with 'You've let us down again' you will have the **** taken out of you for the next twenty years.
