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

[SakosRightFoot]

That is factually correct . However , having touted the importance of having your squad together for pre season it does seem a bit bloody daft not to have signed anyone going into pre season. That means newcomers havent had the time to bed in. We could have lost 4 winnable games in august by the end of the window and be in a poorer position. I understand that the sky six cartel paying megabucks will have their pick of the best players, twas forever thus in the premier league , but that surely would not have stopped or should not have stopped us maki9ng a couple of chiquinho like signings to bolster squad depth. This squad is very thin on quality and depth and has been for 3 years. Chiquinho is a great prospect but would not be a starter in many top 15 premier league teams. Surely our recruitment and scouting network can identify players who are good enough to play premier league football but probably only are back up to the likes of Raul or Neves? Even if we look at a couple of non dick head free agents I am sure there are some bargains that would bolster the squad.

We’ve been through this many many many many times. There’s no point paying a few mill here and there for players who are at best only back ups, especially when w have a perfectly good academy producing players. Ruddy has been replaced by Sarkic, arguably Marcal has been replaced by Bueno, Saiss was already replaced with Toti. They have Jordao and Ronan back to look at as options for back up midfield too. Plus Campbell and Corbeanu for the forward areas.

Let them focus on getting a couple of genuine first team improvements

 

[Stourwolf]

I have to admit I let myself get excited about the kit reveal conspiracy. Not letting that happen again.

As far as I am concerned, we aren’t brining anyone in anytime soon. Prove me wrong, Wolves.

I agree.we know what’s coming “the markets difficult” joke of a club

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

38 players!?

They don't need that many only fair they share and give us some really...

That's what self sustaining clubs do, they have large squads that can cope with losing a few and to have alternatives they can sell if Barcelona don't fancy paying 83 million Euros for the major sellable asset

Broja

Looks nothing like the Donck from the medical bay pic posted yesterday.

And what’s with the five fingers? Five signings? By 5pm today? 5ive reunion tour??

All questions that need answering. The silence from the club is deafening.

STOP....I'm gewin nowhere.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Broja

Broja another good option gone quiet on the west ham front.

Of those 38 benfica players about 9 are from there b side like us calling up the u23s to train

 

[WickedWolfie]

Broja

Permanently or with option to buy then yes. A straight loan? No.

 

[Padraig]

Bet Jeff had to have a sit down when he saw there’s a team with 38 players

Nervous we spend all the budget on this boy, but would indicate we had the money for nunes he just wouldnt sign.

Finally, newspaper O Jogo claims Wolves already tried to sign Ramos on loan in January, and the Eagles turned it down back then. Now, since they’re full of attackers, they’re open to selling, but that would need to be for at least €45m.

 

[1972 i began]

I think it is time to just accept fosun have stopped putting money in. We are to be ran self sufficiently. They have pumped alot in to get us to here, but in terms of financial direction, it is down to us now, we go by our accounts rather than fosun.

It is annoying the last money they pumped in we utterly wasted on Fabio Silva, Hoever when Nuno was still here and to a lesser point as it wasnt that summer, Hwang - but they have also financed moves for the best players some have ever saw don the old gold, so it is what it is.

We are now a mid table premier league club so it is up to the management team to consolidate that and push us further on. Do we have that team at the moment? Can Sellars and the rest of the committee lead this charge? It remains to be same. I have huge doubts. This in some ways is potentially a era defining season.

We have known this for the last 2 years.Yow'm just gewin over old ground.

 

[The Clock]

straight loan gives perfect(better) cover for Silva, and might well put Raul on the bench

I think they are being linked to the guy at Villarreal who was at Bournemouth, think his name is Danjuma for 35-40mil now instead of Broja.

Broja I really rate think he has a bright future, like Rafa Mir he is tall but has pace to get in behind, good finisher and direct. He also counts as a home-grown player if he stays in England till he is 21. Luis Vazquez at Boca Junior's reminds me of him as well.

Danjuman not going west ham, passed on his fee.

I think broja may be a late mover towards end of july, once they have wrapped up sterling etc. Will depend on if they expect broja to get minutes, or has impressed tuchel

They are due to fly out tomorrow to US, chelsea wise, colwill and broja will be interesting if they go

With Ramos being a loan deal to start and Seferovic being quite a cheap option don't think it would be completely unrealistic especially with Silva going out on loan..

Would certainly give us different options upfront and with the 5 sub rule all three (Jimenez,Ramos and Seferovic) would all get plenty o

You buy 2 players for 30m+, suddenly no one's available under 40m..

Record reporting wolves for ramos, as alternative to silva.

And seferovic not on our radar

Swiss international Seferovic continues to be wanted in Turkey (Besiktas and Galatasaray) and in Spain (Mallorca) and the Reds' SAD has set the price for the forward at 8 million euros, who has another two years on his contract.

At 30, Seferovic is one of the highest paid in the squad and Schmidt is not a big fan of his qualities.

Seferovic só sai a troco de 8 M€

Exactly as many players as the club said they would. Fair criticism of the club is justified and the current squad quality and depth is a concern. But it's a bit unreasonable to complain about something the fans had made up.

 

[SeaWolf]

2moro is my birthday so a signing would be a lovely surprise.... maybe they could have done the shirt reveal a little later though as I fancy a lay in.

Mine today too
To date I haven't complained about lack of transfers.
By midnight that could change.
And the new guy who looks a lot like Donk, but doesn't, ain't gonna cut it!

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Mine yesterday and I’ve got flu.

Come on Wolves, help us out here.

All questions that need answering. The silence from the club is deafening.

His face looks slimmer to me, so maybe he has lost a few kilos of weight, and as a result he could possibly have gained half a yard of pace, to make him slightly more mobile?
Hrm... I've used the words maybe, could, possibly and slightly in that sentence. Maybe I'm not that confident about my prediction ?

 

[Madmalc]

He has played 7 games less than Kilman of first team football. On that basis if we sold Kilman to Villa tomorrow you would be fine with that?

There's been no chance any of our under 23 team even getting to be a regular starter.. even when they represent and do well for their national team..

Could be the reason they prefer to clear off after a few loans out.

Maybe Jeff has twigged that buying so called first team starters has stunted good players development and shunted them out the door.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Benfica landed what 90 mins ago, dont know if portugal will report on training at 5pm. But wonder if some players will be missing, or its a load of bs and we would never be able to get ramos

 

[Axle]

I thought Seferovic was going/gone to Turkey. Coming off the bench I wouldn’t mind him and Bruno used him extensively when at Benfica as the forward pivot off which Felix and others fed. But that is 3/4 years ago now and the goal scoring prowess of our other strikers is not massive.

I think this is key. Managers need to be given the right tools for the job.

Ten Hag has an idea about the players that he needs in his system and is chasing those.

Why would Lage be any different?

If he’s not getting the tools it’s not entirely his fault if he’s not doing the job.

[Adrian_Monk]

You don't 'open talks' the day after someone leaves, they leave the day after someone signs. The two things should be coordinated to avoid being left short. Expect a signing today maybe?

Since Sellars 'would like to think we're a club that does things the right way', you'd think would be the case....

As much as i think there is no way to judge the window until its over, i do think we should be doing better.

We might have been turned down by several players that Bruno and Jeff had really wanted.

On another note, I've just watched all Neves' goals posted by the club not long ago. How the **** is he still playing for us. Absolutely unreal player, the big boys are either stupid or Jeff is playing a blinder and he's going to sign a new contract. Sensational

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

We've easily got 38 players.

Cos he's a good lad, and we've priced him out of a move.

or is it possible it’s because Wolves are not top 6 club, a ‘sexy’ city like London,Paris, Madrid etc.
I‘m just repeating what I’ve read on here previously.

Also, after last season’s terrible performances, some players might hesitate to sign on under Bruno.

Loan-to-buy would make sense for both clubs: Benfica probably ok for cash after Darwin sale, and Wolves probably only have to pay a loan fee.

If we're willing to sanction a loan for Fabio I'm hoping it means a deal for Ramos (or somebody else) is getting close.
