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

De Jong to Chelsea nearly done apparently. Could that mean both Man Utd and Barca after Neves?

Ruben isn't going anywhere.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Barca fans would suggest otherwise!

Not the best people to listen to.

Semedo got left 2/3v1 in that game against Munich. They played 4312 and left him completely isolated.

With United signing Rabiot (sp?) and Barcas issues with registering players, I can't see it.

 

[CodsallWolf]

Ok as a data analyst please can we all take a moment to appreciate this visualisation porn.

According to that data Conor Gallagher is *****. Really?

 

[Ned]

Good. He's not the player he was. I dont think he could handle the Premier League

This is how I feel too. Injuries look like they’ve taken a toll so Italy is probably the best place for him.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

So Traore is the midfielder as per Alan Nixon back in Jan!!

Is Traore really a midfielder though?
Every clip i see he looks like a forward lol
Hes only young and im sure we have done our homework

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

According to that data Conor Gallagher is *****. Really?

He is on the ball. Noticed it last year.

Not in terms of shooting but doesn't really get involved in building up the play.

Does a lot of other things very well, obviously. Excellent runner, knows where to be but certainly feel he's the sort who is making the most out of what he's got (which can take you a long way) as opposed to having natural ability.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

According to that data Conor Gallagher is *****. Really?

Different styles

We need someone to progress with the ball which traore does

Gallagher more of a play maker like podence but with pressing

Utd are getting Rabiot

 

[Wisdomwolf]

Is this Boubs a CM? If so, is there anyone we've seen that he's comparable to?
I'd love a powerful kessie, Alf ndaiye type.
We've missed that in our side.

Hate to pour cold water but when we were linked with him last year I saw him play twice on Sky. A little too impetuous and tactically naive

Therein lies the problem. Sadly, we are not as an attractive option, as Newcastle say, at this moment in time.

Gonzales was always going to be the pawn to free up Guedes. It simply how it works with Jorge’s carousel. I fully expect the carousel to come into play again, shortly.

 

[Supadavewolf]

How many Traores can you fit in a Wolverhampton phone box?

We're collecting them in alphabetical order.

Adama
Boubacar

I reckon Clint Traore's next.

 

[Tipton Wolves]

Utd are getting Rabiot

Awful player. No idea what they are playing at.

 

[Wisdomwolf]

De Jong to Chelsea nearly done apparently. Could that mean both Man Utd and Barca after Neves?

When will it dawn on Wolves fans that clubs including Utd might like and admire Neves but he comes a long way down their list of preferences. Utd have others like Savic further up the list.

 

[JonahWolf]

Don't know about anyone else but much as Collins and Guedes are two solid additions we are not really dealing with our pitifully small squad are we?

Sort of yes sort of no.
It’s still thin, and still desperately short in midfield.
But Collins and Guedes in, for Coady and Fabio out, is a net gain of 2 players that would actually get in the starting 11, rather than zero or +1.
The Raul injury kind of shifted the perspective, but would Bruno otherwise be willing to regularly start Fabio? Nope. Does Coady start in a back 4? Nope.
So 2 system fitting and viable players have been gained.

Gain an appropriate midfielder, or even better 2 and bugger Donk off, I’d be absolutely delighted.

 

[JonahWolf]

How many Traores can you fit in a Wolverhampton phone box?

1 if one of them is Adama tbh. Unless another is curled up at his feet, don’t think you’re going to get much change round upper body.

I can see man utd going into panic buying mode. They have 100m burning a hole in their pocket at the moment

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

He is wanting over 10m a year wages...

Over the past two years I've complained a lot about how morally bankrupt it is to be a part of the Mendes carousel. In fact, I thought it was a welcome change that we started expanding outside of Mendes' reach after the Silva deal.

I absolutely go back on my word.

I'd much be buying top international pros than scrambling around at 10pm on deadline day with a failed bid for Keiffer Moore after a summer of failing to get the right targets in - some of them at the last minute and thus not leaving us with any time to pursue alternative targets.

I completely understand that it's difficult to bring in the right players and to balance the squad. I think the last two years (which haven't been cataclysmic, despite what I read on here, but have certainly represented a marked decrease in transfer quality) proves that.

I'd much rather be worrying about Wolves being part of a morally spurious agents dealings than worry about poor transfer dealings. Probably says a lot about me!

I mean the amount of baby oil we have a far few

Also mentioned on Talksport we are after him...

Looks very legit this..

 

[Skrilla]

Not sure if Boubacar Traore is an immediate upgrade to our midfield, looks fairly raw but only 20 and physically fits the profile we need, he'll at least fill out our midfield depth for now, and potentially be a key player for us by next season with development.

Relatively cheap too compared to what Nunes would have cost us (if he had fancied the move, but he clearly doesn't), so perhaps there is still a good amount in the coffers to go after a quality striker to compete with Jimenez, we've been linked with so many at this point. I do wonder if that will be contingent on us selling MGW to Forest, if they stump up the £35-40m we want without the fairy tale addons.

 

[TheTwoPigeons]

Precious little on youtube about Boubacar Traore but found a couple of great goals from him last season:

Great composure on the first and fantastic strike on the second.

Could have a good signing on our hands here if it goes through.

And for a lower fee not the end of the word if it doesn't work out anyway.

What? Wolves mentioned on Talksport?

Get outta here...

 

[KBWWFC]

This is why Bruno was training the 433. Neves drops back into a back 3 when needed.

I've been saying we need to do this for years, Neves has spent so much of his games holding hands with Coady that he might as well drop in during a 4.

Means we need runners either side of him though.

Not the best people to listen to.

Semedo got left 2/3v1 in that game against Munich. They played 4312 and left him completely isolated.

Yeah, they're completely blinkered, had this conversation with Barca fans a few months ago, they think it's all Semedos fault.

Is it just me that has a message on these links saying they can’t be shown?

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

Hwang MkII isn't training with the first team at Bordeaux - training separately according to Bordeaux fans.

 

[Loojay]

I think Traore sounds perfect tbh

 

[Streathamwolf]

They know they got relegated to Ligue 2 and now need the money and he has 6 months less on his contract.

No Conspiracy here.

Yep. As explained in the article.

Palace won't be able to boss us if we get this kid.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

I imagine both players are looking at better clubs than Newcastle at present also.

I think this is the problem that as fans isn’t always considered. Getting a) players that are available b) at a realistic price c) within a wage structure d) want to join e) improve us Is not as easy as people think especially as those sorts of players will also be on the radar of many other clubs both bigger than us and with a wider budget.

 

[hambaps]

What? Wolves mentioned on Talksport?

Get outta here...

It was probably .... "Boubacar Traore linked with Wolves. What does this mean for potential Man Utd target Ruben Neves?"

 

[hollo]

Hwang MkII isn't training with the first team at Bordeaux - training separately according to Bordeaux fans.

He is the player i hope we get. Brest have offered 1 million more than us but he wants the premier league.

 

[Streathamwolf]

Anyone we sign may have a spell on the bench,its football no one is a guaranteed starter
Raul has been far from at his best,Neto is still getting back from injury,and i dont really see Guedes as either position tbh
Must admit i dont enough about his playing style to be confident of anything,but going on the few clips ive seen of him,he will play more of a roaming 8 just behind the forwards
MGW/Pod far more the position he will take but not necessarily so ,guess we wait till he pulls on the shirt eh?

Your description reminds me of a certain K Hibbitt.

 

[Streathamwolf]

Barca fans would suggest otherwise!

2 years ago, he has improved defensively, don't you think?

We might have to bank on some of other side's signing some poor french keepers if he was to duplicate these goals in the PL though.

 

[WickedWolfie]

So we could end the window with two traores and two Hwangs ?

As well as two Rubens...

 

[JamesWolves]

No everyone gets it, copyright stuff etc, and obviously filters more views to the Ligue 1 channel

So it does. Never even thought to try it.
