January 2024 transfer window thread.

[Martin wolf]

In what way? He won't start games so isn't gonna get much room to surprise

I just think he could get some goals of the bench

 

[A3wolf]

Of course, it would be a lot "easier" for him to go on loan in the championship, but it's up to the player to force his way into the team, just like it will be wherever he goes.

Really liked the look of him from his time at Fulham nonetheless

Good mates with a Fulham ST holder and feedback is he was over-hyped.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Sure, IF that's all it is.

Well, Ings isn't going to start over Cunha or Hwang once he's back in that CF spot, is he?

 

[Perton Wolf]

Agreed. Loans with an option fair enough but yeah, given this season is effectively over for us in terms of what we can achieve it isn't worth digging a financial hole at this stage. Don't want to see us pay for five month stop gaps we can't shift in the summer just to consolidate a mid table finish.

Exactly.

The season is not over in terms of what we can achieve. Ridiculous statement.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Ings never fit wtf is this club turning into. Past it when he was at villa. West Ham panic purchased him. Wtf are we thinking here

 

[wolvesaywe]

Exactly. Last 15 games we're in 6th place in the form table with about 1.7 PPG and we currently sit 3 pts off a European spot

It's unquestionably game on

 

[WISAW]

The season is not over in terms of what we can achieve. Ridiculous statement.

Is Lage still in charge?! Lol

 

[Clipboard]

I know it's probably not a choice but I'd so much rather Che Adams over Ings.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Ings never fit wtf is this club turning into. Past it when he was at villa. West Ham panic purchased him. Wtf are we thinking here

As far as i know its fans putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 here not the club

 

[Premier Quality]

Good mates with a Fulham ST holder and feedback is he was over-hyped.

Bet that feedback was after he left, not when he was doing really well for them though!

 

[Premier Quality]

Ings never fit wtf is this club turning into. Past it when he was at villa. West Ham panic purchased him. Wtf are we thinking here

Ings never fit, would be a terrible buy. Past it when he was at Villa. West Ham panic purchased him. Glad it’s just an unsubstantiated rumour that I don’t need to over react to.

Fixed it for you.

 

[JOSWolf]

Are there any realistic strikers we could get from South America? Would love a striker style signing like we got Gomes last January in midfield.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

The season is not over in terms of what we can achieve. Ridiculous statement.

Just a realistic one.

18 to go, we need to win half of those at least. It has been fun and we are much improved but we are not as good as people suddenly seem to think we are.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

As far as i know its fans putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 here not the club

Good his wages are astronomical also

 

[North West Wanderer]

Ings never fit, would be a terrible buy. Past it when he was at Villa. West Ham panic purchased him. Glad it’s just an unsubstantiated rumour that I don’t need to over react to.

Fixed it for you.

Its reported by John Percy.

 

[JOSWolf]

Ask Man City if they can recall McAtee and send him to us.

 

[AaronH02056]

Don't want Ings either but surely some of the reaction is a bit dramatic for a 5 month loan. Not reflective of much in the long run at all..

Preferable to have someone more durable and it is illogical to have a high salary sub when the front three/four are pretty much undroppable until proven otherwise.

Yes

One is at least vaguely fit.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

18 to go, we need to win half of those at least. It has been fun and we are much improved but we are not as good as people suddenly seem to think we are.

We’re not out of the cup and we aren’t even safe from relegation yet either.

And I don’t know if you’ve noticed but we’ve already won almost half of our games in the first 20 with everything we’ve had against us.

I’m not saying we are world beaters or destined for anything but we aren’t as far away as you think.

 

[Beeches wolf]

Ings never fit wtf is this club turning into. Past it when he was at villa. West Ham panic purchased him. Wtf are we thinking here

Yer Ings is pretty much finished at this level, according to the hammers fans i chatted with at the London stadium when we played there.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I'd take so many over ings. It will be the HG element I guess but seriously rather Adam's even armstrong

We don't have any money.........

Not over the moon re Ings, but GON has earned the right to make a choice.

 

[Minimalist]

If we did , I think we’d need to except the idea it might be a case of buy them this January but not really expect much from them till next season.
Arguably we could do with someone now, to strongly contribute straight away.

 

[North West Wanderer]

re Armstrong and Adams, Southampton have to let them leave on loan firstly, and in their position fighting for promotion, why would they? We sure as hell wouldn't have done in their position a few years back.

 

[loppers86]

That's the spirit

A symptom of players giving their all for the manager. Yep, lets get that stopped straight away.

i’ve admitted many times that i was wrong about GON and my initial view of him was influenced by the absolute shambles that Jeff Shi presided over, starting with the dismissal of Nuno.

Last night, when Maupay scored, we were a man down and a goal down. For the first time since Nuno left I had hope that we could still turn it around. we had the manager, skillful players and team spirit to come back. That was when I realised that GON isn’t a flash in the pan, it’s pretty much down to him that we are getting to see performances like we did under Nuno the Great.

I’m fully on board with GON now - and i’m glad we gave him a 3 year contract!

 

[NothingButNeto]

Morgan Whittaker

Is this a link or are you recommending him.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Ask Man City if they can recall McAtee and send him to us.

Could be a viable option to replace Neto , next season....

 

[Wolf316]

Ings until the end of the season then buy a proper 9 in the summer.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Loan to buy can still be done for a few

 

[AndyY]

Exactly. Last 15 games we're in 6th place in the form table with about 1.7 PPG and we currently sit 3 pts off a European spot

It's unquestionably game on

One question:
How is our FFP situation vis a vis European competition? We may be ok with respect to the PL but istr that Europe has more stringent rules and we fell foul if them before.
Even if it is possible, we may not “want” to get in to europe!!!!!!

 

[Urko]

As far as i know its fans putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 here not the club

Wolves target loan deal for West Ham striker Danny Ings

Gary O’Neil wants to sign a ‘No 9’ forward and a winger in the January window, but Wolves must also rein in their spending

He hasn't and he shouldn't be involved in recruitment.

He's still learning his trade as a head coach, leave him to do that, let Hobbs do his thing and identify and recruit the players. He seems pretty good at it.

Noooooooooooo!

 

[Darvo]

I find the concept of a manager having no say at all on player recruitment difficult to get my head around … especially when their fate is so closely linked to the players at their disposal. Probably a generational thing.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Gomes said Pedro from his old club Flamengo.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Similarly, we shouldn't have players brought to the club without any input.
