Virtually a done deal!

There is no limit to the effort some people will go to in order to find reasons to worry!

Considering Fabrizio hasn't been on twitch in a while, nothing in this

 

[Nivada]

Tommy Doyle linked. Think someone said here it was between him and Scott, would actually prefer Doyle for his attacking threat.

 

[JOSWolf]

Its just a weird thing to get at the club for right now imo. We need to get our recruitment in order, not worry about the paintwork around the stadium.

How about we do both? Not that hard to get contractors in during the summer to sort out paint work that is peeling off stands and surrounding areas.

 

[JOSWolf]

preaching to the converted with me here!!

@JOSWolf - what’s your take now on squad size? are you still in favour of a large squad or have you changed your thinking?

I'm in favour of a competitive and balanced squad NWW. Which means having a subs bench with players that can make a good impact now we have the 9 sub rule. Minimum 20 man squad needed and I'd argue possibly 22 or 23 as most Premier league clubs will have if not more in some clubs cases.

I agree the ground is very shabby for the Prem, paying a few tens of thousands out to smarten things up wouldnt impact a lot really

We have 28

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Lemina is worth 20-30m to us right now

His experience is essential to this young group of midfielders

 

[hollo]

There a core group of players who we shouldn't sell this season.
Dawson
Kilman
Nunes
Cunha
Lemina
Gomes

This is the core. I want to know what the hell is going on? We haven't brought anyone in bar doherty and the season will soon start.

It wouldnt at all. I was pretty shocked when I went past the ground last week and just how bad some of the surrounding areas have become.

Neto as well for me

I dont include the kids in this.

 

[Scallywolf]

You have just made the assumption that I meant gross rather than net without clarifying it. For the avoidance of doubt, I meant net. Please see below- I made your point at 6.47am yesterday!

Bloody hell.

You get up early!

 

[Flaneur]

Lemina to Liverpool?

It really is end of days stuff

It’s from a Liverpool fan spreading fake news to bait & get reactions.

They put out a tweet stating Fabrizio Romano said on a livestream via Twitch last night that Liverpool are interested in Lemina as a replacement for Henderson.

Fabrizio hasn’t gone live on Twitch to discuss transfer news in the past 11 months.

It’s how rumours get started plenty are having a meltdown over it on Twitter

 

[AndyWolves]

Ismaila Sarr to Marseille. One we should have been all over. What are we playing at

 

[SuperGran]

I dont include the kids in this.

Shame we have lots of good quality kids I’m hoping a couple are included in the 25 man squad

 

[OLDGOLD]

We have been brainwashed by Sky Sports and all the PL money about spend, spend and more spend. We have become more fixated on transfers than football itself. It needs to stop.

Good coaching, making players better and having a playing system has become so under valued. Need to focus as much if not more on this than a blind obsession with buying players.

I do agree, but we are all still hooked on the crack that is the signing of a new player.

I play darts. Badly. But that next set of darts is always the one that will klick for me and raise my game, when in reality better practice would reap more benefit.

Anyone want to swap some sets of darts?

Bad attitude was set for villa they rejected him last season. Late for training constantly shame because he has good ability

 

[AndyWolves]

Demari grey to Fulham

 

[Supadavewolf]

Considering Fabrizio hasn't been on twitch in a while, nothing in this

And I was stupid enough to check his Twitter site for this

I play darts and golf really well. But only from the neck upwards

 

[OLDGOLD]

I think a balance is needed. A core of experience but a few youngsters on the fringes . Not sure currently how Lopetegui will arrange things, but it can only be good if players like Fraser get in the squad on merit.

 

[Loojay]

Demari grey to Fulham

Also gash

 

[OLDGOLD]

Yeah, my mental game is better than my physical as well Rosey!

 

[Supadavewolf]

Maybe give them a ring on 01902 810485 and ask (politely)?

 

[RosehillWolf]

No. He hasn’t signed

 

[Matt]

Elye Wahi to Chelsea.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Agree

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Elye Wahi to Chelsea.

The on-loan for the season.

Take him for a year

 

[Timberwolf]

It does make you wonder what money we have wasted.

I think we have over paid £15m on Cunha, we will lose £15m on Guedes, Silva is debatable right now we would be lucky to get £25m based on his age and recent record so that's another £12m. We lost another £15m on Cutrone.

That is the best part of £60m.

There are still questions about Nunes, how much are we likely see of his £40m back. To be fair a good season might see a bit of profit. Then there is Sasa, as a goal scorer we may not lose much if he can stay fit.

Which ever way you look at it even if we claw a bit back from Nunes and Sasa we will have clearly wasted £50m

Enough to cover Scott, Elvedi, and the South American striker.

I hope the get Scott, even for £25m because he really could be worth £40m after a great season in the prem. They should also be moving heaven and earth to get Silva into the side. Another half decent season in the prem will add £5m to his value, a great season and we may be approaching breakeven.

For a Premier League side, that is relative peanuts. Making only £12m a year in median gash transfers should be celebrated. Even then, you admit that the jury is still out on Silva and Nunes. So that should be less per year. Regarding Cutrone, we didn’t lose his entire fee. You forgot to mention the loan fees received. Guedes however was a complete basket case of a signing. I mean wtf are we still paying his wages???
Anyway, for some reason you also haven’t mentioned all the players sold for a handsome profit and the players bought that were a success and are now part of the first team.
I think if you add the total value of the current first team, I think you’ll find it’s in excess of the £300m ish net spend, over the last five years. So, not the waste you think it is!

Could we move for wahi on loan for Chelsea, I'm surprised we haven't started being linked to loans

 

[Jefe]

Good coaching, making players better and having a playing system has become so under valued. Need to focus as much if not more on this than a blind obsession with buying players.

I'd give this take more credence if Lopetegui had not nearly left the club over the transfer policy.
It is obvious he doesn't believe the current group are good enough for where he wants us to be, and is eager for reinforcements.

The problem is who pays for wages I guess, but need to move away from the days of refusing to build other clubs players careers.

It’s low-risk, on players you would risk paying too much for to sign them on permanent on the basis of potential alone

Did not see that coming

 

[5 - Lescott]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1683086086224982016

Wonder what sort of fee he’d attract? £5m?

 

[Northampton_wolf]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1683086086224982016

Genuinely feel the moisture creeping up my ****ing pampers.

But genuinely let's try to turn positive, means Silva has been assessed and is going to lead?

We have a striker lined up?


Or nope decks are being cleared and Fraser is first choice you decide

I have a voucher on pampers if anyone needs

Podence Giles Raul at least the decks are coming to be cleared


Clear the decks before purchases? I mean like Hobbs said on signing Doherty there are squad players who have come to the end and are to be moved on

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Surprised another PL Team would want him

Team rebuild is incredibly thorough it seems
