Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Ned]

Any info on Bellegarde? Any good? Can’t say I’m up with French football.

 

[SuperGran]

He’s never been a goalscorer but he’s got a decent all round, unselfish game. I’m not sure that’s entirely what we need.

Not at all what we need

 

[Bryce]

Origi to Forest or Burnley
Palmer to Chelsea 42.5 million wtf?
Reed and Adam’s still linked to us

 

[Flaneur]

Any info on Bellegarde? Any good? Can’t say I’m up with French football.

Would be the Nunes replacement from what I’ve seen, can play out wide or CM, can carry the ball, pop up with assists etc.

 

[wolvesjoe]

Mine

Man City will never be one of the biggest clubs in the world. they are manufactured and state owned, let’s never forget that.

Mines a bitter, please.

 

[Yduti]

I told you yesterday bellegarde is the main target and expect a bid tomorrow

[lets all have a disco]

5m for podence will do..

Cover the loan fee on Che Adams.....wages saved in podence will pay Adams....

It was hardly rocket science!

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

From what I've seen (and that's not a lot to be honest) he's more direct than Nunes, certainly stronger in and off the ball.

But it's the French League, Morgan Sanson and Boubakary Soumare looked absolute ballers, and they turned out to be ****e.

Any updates

Bellegarde has agreed personal terms and want to join now it’s between the two clubs to find an agreement

 

[Yduti]

Podence looks likely to go in the next days

 

[Wolf616]

It makes sense Bellegarde is our main target if Podence is finally off, he's only 5 foot 6

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Agreement reached between Wolves & Bellegarde apparently, trying to finalise a deal with Strasbourg

[Thank you Sir Jack]

It was hardly rocket science!

Or any sort of science.

 

[AndyWolves]

JRB is 5 ft 6. We won't be playing him as a CM

 

[Yduti]

the fee for bellegarde will be 15M+3M add ons i heard

 

[AndyWolves]

It was hardly rocket science!

We'll sign Che Adams today

We'll also put another bid in for Harrison Reed

 

[wolvesjoe]

I never

They aren’t Robin Hood…… they aren’t freedom fighters of virtue coming to save football like you are painting.

what they are accused of with mountains of evidence is cheating on a scale unseen in football. Worse things than any of the clubs you have mentioned m.

Everyone already knew about the other clubs and what they were doing, city exposed nothing…… they are now part of the club, making and pushing rules that benefit them now they sit at the top table…… don’t forget the European super league!!! They were a major part of that……

City are the worst of the entire lot of them, by a bloody mile

I never said they were robin hood, just that they destabilised the cost set up the top group had going. That disruption has been a positive force in my view.newcastle benefitted from it and wolves could have been in Newcastle's position now if fosun had been more ambitious.

Also city under Guardiola have set new standards that the rest have to work out how to challenge. Their success hasn't all been about money at all. That's just a fabrication by humiliated Utd fans, upset that their billions spent on transfers have not worked out.

 

[NothingButNeto]

the fee for bellegarde will be 15M+3M add ons i heard

Get it done!

 

[surreywolf]

it's quite public these days how clubs agree terms with players even before clubs can agree a deal. I thought that was tapping up?

 

[wolvesaywe]

It makes sense Bellegarde is our main target if Podence is finally off, he's only 5 foot 6

Wolves making sure Podence's kits don't go to waste

Clever economising in these lean times

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

In the next days? Is he going to Saudi?

 

[SuperGran]

It’s done via agents

 

[surreywolf]

It’s done via agents

yes i appreciate that - but it's still technically tapping up

 

[AndyWolves]

In the next days? Is he going to Saudi?

Qatar

 

[SuperGran]

In the next days? Is he going to Saudi?

Qatar

 

[SuperGran]

It’s just the first stage of negotiations

 

[Wonder Boyo]

It might be that the Qatari window closes later than ours. The Saudi one certainly does, not sure what the date is for Qatar though.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Qatar

Qatar

Thanks, have I missed this, is it known or ITK?

 

[A wanderer from Bristol]

Saw something about potentially Qatar

He'll have to behave himself there!

 

[Wolf616]

JRB is 5 ft 6. We won't be playing him as a CM

Well where do you think he's gonna play? What's wrong with a 5 foot 6 cm if their job is to push forward, as opposed to win aerial battles which we have Lemina etc. for?

Plenty of great CMs have been short arses

 

[SuperGran]

Thanks, have I missed this, is it known or ITK?

Definitely not itk
Twitter rumour

 

[AndyWolves]

Thanks, have I missed this, is it known or ITK?

it's on twitter somewhere

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

JRB is 5 ft 6. We won't be playing him as a CM

And moutinho was 5 foot 7. Is that inch all important?
(I'm not fishing for dick jokes honest)

 

[surreywolf]

It’s just the first stage of negotiations

i know!!!!! but not so long ago, you would go through the club for permission to speak to the player (or at least deny backdoor negotiations)

the point i am making is that a) that's all gone out of the window and b) the fact it gets into public domain shows how little agents care for the 'rules'. The game's ruling bodies have lost control

he'll be a wide forward / 10

 

[Wolf616]

Kante is only 5 foot 6
