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

[Northampton_wolf]

Few names in the frame... Bruno wants Ramos.

I don't think there are many secrets now... all the names I've heard have been put out there.

Thats fair.

If its ramos its happening wednesday next week before newcastle Imo.

Thanks Lobo

"We tried to sack Bruno over the summer" - Just of of curiosity what does this mean?

- That we couldn't attract or identify a replacement
- Shi wanted him gone but Sellars was against it?

Apologies - it's poorly phrased on my behalf.

From what I was told, discussions were held over who to replace him with. We were subsequently unable to replace him with the desired targets and he consequently stayed.

 

[Direwolf]

I have to admit that I had more than had enough of the fancy flicks to the opposition after two games. I cannot say I am going to miss the lad. Although I hope he does well in the Championship in the future.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

An interesting piece of information I've been told, that fits in with @Hoganstolemywife 's post...

Bruno was selected as Nuno's successor BEFORE our first Premier League season under Fosun. If the first year had gone bad, Bruno would have taken over back then and it was all arranged already.

We didn't stumble into Bruno when Nuno left. It was planned all along. But Lopetegui was always the no.1 choice. So I don't doubt that if he was available now, we would indeed have replaced Bruno with him.

I genuinely think their owner has lost his head in the pursuit of MGW and paid a crazy fee. Think it is closer to 35m that Liam Keen and Percy said initially as they will have got there info off Wolves. Then Forest have come in and said “oh no it’s more like 25…..honest”.

Didnt we already reject more than 25m few weeks ago anyway

Yep Forest have been playing the media game all along with all the leaks to friendly journos that the deal was done weeks ago. Undoubtedly to pressure us to sell but we waited until the timing and amount suited us. I think the add ons to make 35 are very easy to meet and now they are just trying to save face.

That's basically what I heard. Talks were held this summer. He didn't choose to come.

He superglued his hands to his mahogany desk. Couldn't shift him.

 

[Derbywolf85]

You're going to be happy.

Just a striker? Or more as well?

With MGW gone, I can see us going in for 3 more, personally

Striker, Centre Mid, Full Back

How happy am I going to be?

0%
33%
66%
99%

?

I can't be 100% because we weren't ready for the start of the season...

























YES IT'S A JOKE.

Yeah get through spurs and hopefully get him ready for Newcastle

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Think there’s an element of looking at Bruno too.

How does he cope with pressure?
Can he adapt to different situations?
Is he the right fit?
Can he exist in the culture of the club?
Do the players like him?

Lots of questions need to be answered before you rip up a squad and trust a manager with £100m in spend. This feels like a shot of confidence to Bruno. He should be proud of that.

Sink or swim.

That would have been before he managed Benfica wouldn't it - perhaps even Benfica B?

Why would they have selected Swansea's assistant manager?

 

[SanFranWolf]

@Lobo de Ouro there's a few bits out there linking us with a double swoop on Benfica for both Ramos and Alex Grimaldo.

Have you heard anything about the later?

 

[jonesy]

If Mgw leaves do we need a other forward other than Ramos ?

Can ramos play in Mgw position?

 

[Coops]

Podence, Guedes, Neto, Hwang, Traore... i'd say no?

edit: plus Chiquinho when he's back.

Edit 2: First-Team MGW was missing on team app yesterday too but didnt take any notice of it...

Wonderful player. Bruno is a big fan.

That all makes sense on lopetegui , and if he did like muted become available this summer, could have seen that happening to.

But now we have backed bruno with the signing happy days.

If bruno has called ramos personally i cant imagine it wont be him

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

I've seen Ramos play left of a front 3, if we go 4-3-3 I think he could do a job in the wider positions but he does look a more central striker from the few games I've seen him play

Dang, Percy now says £25m up front too.

Dang. Ok it’s not £35m upfront, but £25m is more than enough to cash in. That’s a fair price, throw in a load of add-ons it’s a no-brainer.

 

[Nige100]

Had to take that against letting him run his contract down. Lesson learnt should have done that with Adama at his peak.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

There is a certain type of rich guy that if you tell him you can't have something, will keep on bidding more and more until he gets his way.

 

[Beijing Wolf]

I think that 7-10 million in add ons are probably pretty certain to come in. More about Forests owner saving face. The fee is basically 35million.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

I think that 7-10 million in add ons are probably pretty certain to come in. More about Forests owner saving face. The fee is basically 35million.

Probably based on appearances and squad involvement etc. and not a high bar to reach.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

How did the budget suddenly go from 0-100m?

Jeff putting cheat codes in somewhere ?

Lets just say our business trip to South America was successful.

CCP greenlight?

Crickey……I hope that’s not true.
Hate to think Wolves are being coached by a guy the boss doesn’t have confidence in.
Plus, if you heard it then you can bet Bruno and the squad heard it too……..that’s gotta be a strain in their working relationship.

Would Guedes and Nunes have come under those circumstances?…..

my gut tells me that this rumour is not accurate

 

[TWOLF]

I think it’s fair to assume the MGW deal to Forest was agreed before we went in for Nunes. While we might sign a striker I doubt it will be a result of selling MGW.

 

[A3wolf]

I've seen Ramos play left of a front 3, if we go 4-3-3 I think he could do a job in the wider positions but he does look a more central striker from the few games I've seen him play

How do you rate him? Only saw him last night and, based on that, thiink there would be better options for the level of fee being mentioned but can’t tell too much from one game.

 

[Axle]

So we've effectively swapped Nunes for MGW?

I'm a fan of MGW, but if that's the business that we need to do, then so be it.

 

[JonahWolf]

Lets just say our business trip to South America was successful.

It only cost Hobbs the use of his ringpiece.

 

[Stratman Wolves]

Did Guo and Mendes being at the last pre-season game really shift things here in terms of transfers finally happening and money being spent?

 

[DJW]

Right - well time to put a few more cards on the table. I was told a couple of weeks ago that MGW will go to Forest (I posted after the BBC female journalist said it was a done deal) but that Jeff was holding out for top dollar because he thought he could get it.

Not saying this to prove what a wonderful savant I am, but to (hopefully) show that I'm not just making the following up - all of which came from the same source.

- Our summer budget went from £0 to £100+ million overnight
- Neves is signing a new deal
- We tried to sack Bruno over the summer

Still can't believe how overpriced the Enlgish market is. Not even the Forest fans are happy with this: Morgan Gibbs-White

How do you 'try' to sack Bruno and fail?

 

[TWOLF]

How do you 'try' to sack Bruno and fail?

I imagine if true, the ‘try’ part refers to the owners trying to find a replacement for Bruno I.e. Lopetigue but couldn’t get him to come.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Did Guo and Mendes being at the last pre-season game really shift things here in terms of transfers finally happening and money being spent?

Could be but it was probably in discussions for some time.

 

[lets all have a disco]

How do you 'try' to sack Bruno and fail?

I heard we tried to get someone else in and failed....if thats what it means ....so we didn't replace Bruno...if that's makes sense...

 

[MiddlesexWolf]

Te

Wonderful player. Bruno is a big fan.

Tease

So do you think we will see anything 'concrete' come out in the media this week? Appreciate you may not know.

 

[lmuwolf]

Ugarte huge talent, he will be what in a year on a move,

Remember there is Goncalves still...

Ramos..

Araujo

Enzo Fernandez will be moving in 2 years

Goncalo Inacio too

 

[Wolvessince63]

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Yeah that's what I meant

 

[Coops]

Yeah that's what I meant

Hopefully gives him the kick up his **** he needs

 

[Ponty]

I like the fact the fee for MGW is the same as we paid for Fabio. Perhaps people can stop and think about swings and roundabouts before reminding everyone how much Fabio cost!
