January 23 Transfer Window Thread

[Skrilla]

We've signed the Brazilian Kante, tears in my eyes.

 

[JOSWolf]

Statue for Hobbs

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

A midfielder whose YouTube highlights are tackling, moving the ball forward by dribbling and then passing it to feet or space.

If his ******* levels were a little higher I'd be wondering whether Hobbs was reading my mind.

 

[rincewind]

If we get this lad and Lemina and slow Traore we might have real presence in midfield.

 

[SuperGran]

How we supposed to get any work done when there’s all these rumours flying around

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

We've signed the Brazilian Kante, tears in my eyes.

What are his offensive stats like? Looks a real prospect but I hope he’s not a Neves replacement (I haven’t resigned myself to him leaving)

 

[hambaps]

Does this mean that Gomes is the centre of the three, with Nunes and Neves more advanced?

 

[NothingButNeto]

Cutting off the inevitable question - he’s considered U21 and won’t affect our foreign player number.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Exciting signing for the future, can't see him playing much this season but nice to see the club are still looking long-term.

For comparison on the Brazilian league, that lad Forest had playing last night (Scarpa) was just named the best player in Brazil this season and I thought he was useless.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

That same Brazilian Journalist confirms it is DONE.

"João Gomes will travel in the next few days to introduce himself to Wolves and start his journey at the English club. Flamengo has already approved the proposal for 17 million euros."

Work permit ?

Holy bajeezus

It's a shame that we're in such a terrible position in the table during the start of such an exciting project that Lopetegui is building. Cunha and joao gomes are incredible players to add to this increasingly talented squad. If next summer we could keep our key players and rebalance the squad a little I don't see why we couldn't push for europe once again. Unfortunately the most likely scenario is neves and nunes leaving, 2 essential players for us that will be very difficult to replace. I would really have liked to see this current squad (plus whoever we get in this window) have a full season under lopetegui to see what they can do.

 

[dnf14]

Work permit ?

He just won the Libertadores, he's A-OK on that score.

 

[Skrilla]

What are his offensive stats like? Looks a real prospect but I hope he’s not a Neves replacement (I haven’t resigned myself to him leaving)

Not great, but I could see him playing on the right of our midfield three/slightly advanced of Nunes and Neves, and just pressing like a mad man high up the pitch to force mistakes. With him and Lemina, as well as Bouba returning in a month or two, our midfield depth would suddenly actually be very good.

I think playing Copa Libertadores is good for work permit points I think I've read somewhere.

He can do the dirty work and Nunes and Neves can do the fancy stuff sounds good to me.

 

[JamesWolves]

Work permit ?

Brexit made it **** easy to get SA talent nowadays, Look at Brighton.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

An experienced hand in a former PL Player in Lemina and now a young and sought after lad in Gomes: a fantastic way to bolster Midfield and prepare for it's future minus Ruben and Joao in my guessing, which is tough to say but realistic to think with those two being added to Ruben, Joao, Boubacar, Matheus and Joe.

This window is only just getting started and there's still 3 weeks left!

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Possibly looking and planning ahead for once? Neves and Nunes go in the summer, Lemina in, this guy possibly in. Start of a midfield rebuild possibly.

 

[Glow69]

Need different players for different games.

Well done Wolves!

 

[jonesy]

Has to be outgoings surely with all this happening ?? Especially in midfield

Exciting 2 weeks ahead

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Good lord im having a hot sweats over this

I understand that Evening Primrose Oil is helpful in these situations.

 

[AlexWolvesHD]

I can see why we didn't move for Alcaraz now with Joao Gomes looking set to join.

He has been heavily linked to Man Utd for quite a while, he is a really exciting young player, real coup of a signing.

Flamengo fans appear distraught on Twitter.

I'll take the player comparison...

 

[FJRWolf]

Is he likely to be a future replacement for Neves?

Flamengo encaminha venda de João Gomes ao Wolverhampton, da Inglaterra, por R$ 94 milhões

Volante de 21 anos deixa o clube com 122 partidas, quatro gols marcados e seis títulos

Nickname is Pitbull.

Done deal according to the Brazilian journo.

 

[GBWolf]

This Gomes must be one of the players Hobbs was alluding to when he said that names hadn't been mentioned in the press. Sounds an exciting player. Good to see local journos now reporting the same.

94 million, that almost buys you one Zeli Ismail!

We aren't messing around

Can see it being Hodge. And hopefully a winding down of duties for Moutinho.

And we know that Ruben will go to Barca.

From the looks of it about 16 mil with the exchange rate then.

 

[MrJamez]

Liam Keen jumps in as soon as it’s going through the rounds on Twitter..

The bloke knows naff all.

 

[92WWFC]

If it's Hodge hope we get a decent loan for him won't do him any good to go back to the u23s. Then can come back and take Moutinho's place in the summer I rate the kid.

You do realise he’s just played a full season for his club, and most games for 90 mins? He’s fit and on form. If Boubs were fit, he would be playing, so I’m pretty confident this guy will should he sign.
