Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[lets all have a disco]

Doherty is probably better than current Jonny....so for cover is probably ok......loan Jonny out to Spain to free up a foreign place as well...

Doherty is also better than Hoever and Sanderson in that role as well......so both could be sold for some funds......

 

[Skrilla]

Doherty as a right back would not be able to take up the same positions he did when we played with a back three. Defensively is he good enough? No. This does seem to suggest to me we're not prioritising an upgrade on Semedo, which is concerning to me.

However if it means we can spend more on bringing in a couple of goalscorers to the club, I'm not against it...

 

[Glow69]

No to Doc for me. We're trying to get rid of dead wood from a bygone era.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Absolute waste of wages as a back up, rather give Dexter minutes

He isn't going to get minutes.

Sign Doherty, loan Lembikisa.

 

[Starsky]

Doc, Rob Holding and Che Adams.

Gonna have a punt on Nicky Maynard if I can find some odds.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Doherty would be a perfectly fine signing.

Nowhere near as bad defensively as people try to make out - I do find that very funny. Available on a free, would probably take a short-term deal. Good character.

Again, what are people expecting? It's an area of the pitch that is not a priority, so a cheap option is understandable.

I reckon he would get himself in the XI ahead of Semedo within 3-4 months as well.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

That's a bit harsh on Doc, I don't think you could ever call him fat or lazy for us. He was a key ingredient for Nuno

I think with hindsight it is fairly obvious Doc was one of our most important players in the Nuno system. Without any exaggerating, if we had taken him out at our peak and put in Semedo we would have finished several places lower.

 

[North West Wanderer]

what’s the source for Docherty?

 

[North West Wanderer]

"Teamtalk understands"

so absolute guff then!

 

[RosehillWolf]

Doherty. Adams. Holding.

FOSUN. Just clear out please if this is what it’s come to

 

[WolfLing]

It’s where things meld together a bit!
433 with 2 holding midfielders and a central attacking one is pretty similar to 4231 ?
Which in turn if played with what I imagine you mean by a proper 10, is really not much different to 442...

Like I say, United really struggled to play that way, or at least to move between the two, as they didn't have the midfielders to do it.

We arguably do, with Lemina and Gomes both sitting.

Gomes and Lemina for me can do both roles, which is really useful.

But I'd much rather we played with one of Lemina or Gomes (or even a new DM) and two more forward thinking players either side.

A holding midfielders, plus two of players like Scott, Nunes and DVB could mean more bodies forward than 2 holding and a 10!

 

[Premier Quality]

He can score goals

Just a crazy idea for that - why don’t we get some forwards that can do that, and have a right back who can (ideally) defend and assist.

 

[WolfLing]

what’s the source for Docherty?

Plain mayo. Bland and unexciting.

 

[Wolves4Life85]

He can score goals

So would other members of the team if we got the ball and the players in the box.

 

[RosehillWolf]

what’s the source for Docherty?

Tommy surely ?

Wolves exclusive: Deal to re-sign Matt Doherty agreed as Julen Lopetegui gives green light to transfer of Crystal Palace target

Wolverhampton Wanderers are closing in on the re-signing of their popular former full-back Matt Doherty, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal.

www.teamtalk.com

bring back the doc.

 

[DanishWolf]

He can score goals

4 goals in each PL season..
Not a lot.
But then of course it would've made him Third in our list of topscorers last season.
Having said that, he's scored 3 in 44 games at Spurs and I can't see him get many goals in JL's system.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

i have zilch on incomings, anyone else?

Anymore on bids for the CBS, Atilla and Nelsson? doubt we have actually bid no real credible sources.

Only thing i know is demebele we were going to offer to , for him to consider

 

[AndyY]

“Julen, I know you like a hard running, big pressing system, but we have the opportunity to bring in a fat, lazy right back whose been bombed out of his last two clubs - does that work for you?”

I do think thats unfair - Doc worked really hard on his fitness under Nuno and that showed. ISTR an article about it, too, but cant find it now.

 

[AndyY]

I think the biggest problem Donny had at United was Bruno Fernandes. DVB not a holding midfield player, he's more of an 8. Works well in a midfield 3, terrible in a midfield 2. With United, Bruno meant they were always looking at playing the old double pivot, which doesn't work with the players they've got. Casemiro coming in helped that, but still not ideal types of player.

If we're going to play Loetegui's 433 that he played at Seville, I think players like DVB and Arthur Melo could be really shrewd bits of business for one of those outside 8 midfield spots.

But I'd go for a couple of United players ahead of DVB for that position, Fred or McTominay!

Doubt any ManUre player would fit in our wage structure and £15-20M purchase limit

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Doherty? he can only play wing back not full back, would be a poor signing

 

[Minimalist]

I'd much rather we played with one of Lemina or Gomes (or even a new DM) and two more forward thinking players either side.

A holding midfielders, plus two of players like Scott, Nunes and DVB could mean more bodies forward than 2 holding and a 10!

That is precisely what I consider a “proper” 433 to be. But I think it’s a very risky formation if you don’t have 11 top players. The weakest link is easily exposed. I’m not sure we have anywhere near what we’d need. Maybe Lemina in the central DM role with the legs and energy of Gomes & Traore either side (Nunes if he can be what we hope). But I don’t think you’d get away with 2 really attacking players like Scott and DVB (or Probably Nunes) either side of one holder.

I gearing myself up for a Doc poll.

Absolutely nothing.

Podence out is a big focus ATM.

Yep thats all ive got, outgoings

I'm surprised there's not already one lol

 

[Agent Cooper]

so absolute guff then!

Aren't they the Internet equivalent of clubcall? Would take whatever they say with a huge pinch of salt!

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Doherty. Adams. Holding.

FOSUN. Just clear out please if this is what it’s come to

You can’t be selective on what rumours you believe to fit your moaning. Would Melo, Wahi, Dembele not improve us?

 

[NothingButNeto]

Yep thats all ive got, outgoings

Anyone other than Podence?

The usual RAN, Sa, Jonny, Raul? Any surprises?

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Doc, Rob Holding and Che Adams.

Gonna have a punt on Nicky Maynard if I can find some odds.

Should be easy to find as most on this site are at odds with each other.

 

[Mel Eves on a bike]

I do find it a bit strange that a plus point for bringing Doherty back would be that he ‘knows the club’. Not like he’s going to be CEO.

From a proper source, been told we have definitely have enquired about Scott but Bristol are not shifting from their valuation (wasn't told what the number is) as of Friday. We have offered a couple of players in exchange (unnamed but I'm guessing Sanderson / Giles?) to lower the fee but they are not biting.

Knows the club but not:

The manager
The DoF
Most of the team.

After the Renato Sanches rubbish rumour teamtalk did, saying he was about to sign… all their transfer rumours are made up! This included

 

[Stratman Wolves]

I've been gone for a while, I figure I haven't missed very much in terms of in-comings? Is it the usual "we have to sell before buy" mantra + "no we have to be smart and buy for value at the end of the window"?

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Anyone other than Podence?

The usual

 

[Ercall Wolves]

I would take Doherty back in a heartbeat
Very intelligent player

Told similar but more that we couldnt afford the first instalment. Maybe why exchanging players are being thrown in to the mix.

That’s the thing if they want a big chunk up front could prove an issue for other transfer business
