The happy days are here again, hopefully no more repeated arguments, transfer thread

[Redrockwanderer]

Could it be that the FFP rules myth… restricting us the last few years were true after all!?

 

[wolvesaywe]

We need yet another transfer thread title. This one is soooo July

 

[clivewolves]

How many times have Wolves broken their transfer record under Fosun? About 6 or 7? It makes you wonder how much higher they will go.

 

[Corporate Wolf]

For the gamblers amongst you if you believe everything is now going to fall into place and we will have a good season, and I'm not suggesting we won't now, you can get - Top six finish 28/1 Skybet , 7/2 Top half finish most bookies inc Skybet and Bet 365 and 7/1 Top midlands club with Betway. I wonder how much those odds might change in the coming days!

Got to be worth a punt.
Also had a really cheeky £5 @ 100/1 (boosted) for Top 4 - via Ladbrokes

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Breaking news on ssn now about nunes. And they even spoke about it for 7 seconds

No it was 12 seconds, but time flies when your actually listening to something good

 

[DDPPwolf313]

200/1 on skybet

We can but dream

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Did they describe us as Manchester United rivals?

Yh because there is only 1 point between us

 

[Derbywolf85]

Hwang doesn’t make the bench….ouch

Not until his first touch becomes something better than kicking a ball against a brick wall.

 

[DeWolfMan60]

Collins, Guedes and Nunes plus hopefully a decent CF is amazing.
But this puts massive pressure on Bruno
Investment companies don't part with this sort of money without expecting results.
Hope things go well for Bruno. He has the tools now.

 

[Banks's Mild]

Thank you, mate. I'd taken the 7'2 for the top half but that 8/1 for the top Midlands (BetVictor) is a ludicrous price. I've had as much as they'll allow me.

No worries and yeah I thought the same, only did it with Betway as have an account with them but when you look at that price to finish above Leicester Villa and Forest it's massive.

It’s a win win for us. Those of us who have concerns about Bruno may have it rammed down our throats - happy for that to happen. If he doesn’t get a tune out of this squad he gets fired and we are an attractive proposition for good managers as we have high quality players.

 

[Woolywolf]

Could see Donk going with an up an coming replacing him

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Yep, thought the same myself last night. With the stronger squad and statement of intent this window, even relatively high profile coaches might be tempted should Bruno not get this squad humming quickly.

Pretty confident Bruno would prefer to have the players he wants and no excuses than an inherited squad and plenty of excuses

 

[Derbywolf85]

I don't think so - He's come for a lot of flack over the last couple of years, but in both games this season he's been very good, particularly Saturday.

I imagine signing Nunes spells the end for Ronan and Jordao (who is already off to Santa Clara) and a loan out for Cundle.

 

[SWest Wolf]

Feel a bit sorry for Nuno now….he wanted investment. Wonder what he could have done with the players we will have now?
Not saying Nuno should have stayed, but it was obvious he wanted new players which never really materialised.

 

[wolfslair]

Did they describe us as Manchester United rivals?

To be fair in the last 5 years we pretty much have been and had a great record against them.

Plus we are shopping in the same store for players with where they are currently in terms of pitch and table performance. As we were as good if not better than them for large chunks of last season.

Plus how toxic their dressing room is and it is well known it isn’t a good place to be in terms of squad cohesion and players getting on. Why would you join them? Also look at the regression of their last few “major” signings…… that wouldn’t entice me as their new signings do ok for a while then get sucked into playing like their team mates well bellow “man utd’s level” that we have traditionally seen.

As we are as likely as them to win any trophies currently and have a dressing room that clearly get on and play for each other something UTD just don’t have.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Nice new thread title

 

[Poztin]

Remember when Sellers was ****ed up in a pub saying Collins was our only signing?

Oh how we fumed.

 

[tonto]

Agree it’s defo a season or two before this squad is at its best, but I really think the addition of Nunes if it happens, and a focal point, could make us a really really good team as soon as it takes the pitch

Told you we were gearing up for our 150th anniversary by winning the Champions League get in there

 

[Tring Wolf]

What a statement of intent this week has been.

I repeatedly said that we shouldn’t have been in the situation we found ourselves in for the Leeds game but am more than happy to eat a huge, delicious slice of humble pie. We were obviously confident that we could get players of the quality of Nunes and Guedes in and kept our powder dry until we did.

About a month ago, I (half-jokingly) said on here that my ‘dream window’ would leave us with a team something along the lines of:

Sa
Semedo, Collins, Kilman, RAN
Nunes, Neves
Guedes, Ramos, Neto
Raul

Sarkic, Jonny, Coady, Boly, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Podence, Adama, MGW (or Hwang if MGW sold to fund some of the incomings).

Never really thought we’d get anywhere close to that but with the exception of the striker situation, Fosun have now addressed all of the ‘problem areas’ and with long-term, top quality signings.

Huge credit and a massive thank you to all those involved.

 

[Streathamwolf]

Why are you here ruining our morning when we could potentially be signing Mattheus Nunes AND getting rid of Scott Sellars?

Because he is a human being and he doesn't deserve the **** he gets on here.

 

[Krispy Kreme]

All the naysayers should be forced to crawl ten laps of the Molineux kissing smalltime Jeff's feet at each lap!

Now that's my idea of pre-match entertainment

Has anyone noticed that certain more “negative“ posters are suddenly absent today? Having previously been on here almost 24/7 repeating the same “we’re doomed” posts and dismissing anyone saying positive things about the club.

 

[Sheffield Wolf]

Can’t believe we haven’t signed a centre forward! Lack of investment is a joke.

 

[Bostin]

Ronaldo on loan to complete the Portuguese set?

 

[Munro Munro]

The reason Lage got the job was his knowledge of the youth in Portugal, it has taken until now to be in a position to deliver on what he wants. I am sure it’s partly because of him that they are coming, let’s give the bloke some credit and see how it pans out, judge him on his team when its together

 

[Flaneur]

Get a striker in - on loan, permanent, cheap option or not & doesn’t this just look special…

 

[Cousins78]

Remember when Sellers was ****ed up in a pub saying Collins was our only signing?

Oh how we fumed.

Just seen him walking out the spoons, looks like he has been on a week long bender. Poor fella

It would look nice with Jiménez back to be honest.

 

[theweave]

So when Fosun wrote off 100+ million was it for ffp purposes rather than to sell as some suggested?

Ffp doesn't work that way.

im happy to be first in line provided we get a striker if not I’ll go second

Talking more in terms of the squad as a whole, depth etc.

 

[jonesy]

He’s the most toxic footballer ever in world football no way

 

[Jack Russell]

You aren't paying attention are you?

 

[MiddlesexWolf]

So... do any of those who get snippets hear any further rumblings on a Striker?

Hoping that this is the start of a domino affect of us bringing in some quality swiftly.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Get Ramos in and stop ****ing about

 

[Ches78]

Can't wait to see who the striker is... Fingers crossed its sorted before Friday!

Got to put my hands up and say I had a good moan about Jeff etc, at the time things did look dodgy - especially on the back of the last few windows and 'needing to sell to buy' - but they're smelling of roses now! It does seem like there's been a sudden/very welcome injection of capital from somewhere - guess we might hear more about that in due course....
