January 2024 transfer window thread.

[Mile End Wanderer]

GARY confirms confidence in the marketplace.

Rumours Firmino has been seen in Asda with Cunha

 

[WickedWolfie]

Rangers died. The current mob are just a sham tribute act.

Like us in 82 and 86?

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Where have you seen this?

You'd think Forest would want at least £50m for him, even with FFP problems.

Just checked their forum and their fans want £80m.

They think he won’t leave though as he’s the captain and is going to have the team built around him in the summer.

What planet are they living on lol

 

[Dan G WWFC]

how many times have we failed to score this season?
You can’t make any conclusions firmly from one game, abd we are missing our top scorer too.

That’s actually my point…. We’re without Hwang our top scorer who is the only guy we have with a goal scoring instincts. Hwang would’ve got a couple today, Neto and Cunha are fantastic players but they just don’t make the gial scoring run that leads them to get a tap in. We need a striker to help cover Hwang

 

[Dan G WWFC]

FFP still an issue or is it investment?

 

[lets all have a disco]

It obviously we need another forward option, it's. 5 or 6 man game, in forward positions in the premier league to keep up the necessary intensity.....Cunha for example is being run into the ground......yes hwang will help but it's still not enough...

1 quality player on loan will do.....Broja or Ings for me...

 

[North West Wanderer]

Offer Plymouth 7m for Hardie & Whittaker and loan them Fraser & Chirewa. Perfect

why would you want Hardie? what makes you think he’s anywhere near good enough?

 

[Edinburgh Wolf]

Like us in 82 and 86?

No, nothing like it. Rangers as a company/club ceased to exist. The current club is an entirely new entity called Sevco Scotland Ltd.

Anyway, back to Wolves transfer news.....

 

[Loojay]

He's on the wind up

 

[North West Wanderer]

He's on the wind up

unless he is Hardie.

 

[Premier Quality]

He's on the wind up

Yup, constant trolling

 

[lets all have a disco]

Yup, constant trolling

He is serious, which is even more concerning......

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

got a feeling the signing is going to be someone not mentioned anywhere before

 

[Northampton_wolf]

FFP still an issue or is it investment?

They want to ensure a major profit this year, while being sustainable to allow for investment in another window

Makes sense to bank a profit in a window 23/24, then this stays with us for the rolling next 3 years.


Anyone gon seems confident of something, lets see if we have this 9 in before friday and the ****. Probably something left field

 

[Irish_Wolf]

Rangers died. The current mob are just a sham tribute act.

100% not administration they were totally liquiddated, gone, ceased to exist.

 

[Irish_Wolf]

The recent run of results will benefit recruitment, a team on the up looking more like a mid table secure outfit rather than relegation struggles.

Let's hope so.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

My money is on Broja on loan with an obligation dependent upon certain conditions being met.

I also think we’ll see Lemina The Younger arrive next week again on loan with a small obligation.

However, with those two and Doyle turning perm that will be c £45m plus of next summer’s budget already consumed. Will need to off load Guedes and one of Kalajdzic or Silva or both to claw some back.

 

[WISAW]

I just want a no.9 who busts a gut to get in the 6 yard area!!

 

[WickedWolfie]

Blobby Taylor bust a gut (and what a gut it was!) to get into the six yard area lol.....

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

I think we tend to get that more at home but away we just sit too deep

 

[Northampton_wolf]

in regard to broja, there may be an ability to turn an obligation into an option as it gets later in the window. Depends on fitness of players at chelsea and if broja wants to go etc. If they deem that they will recoup finances for FFP

A least 10m a piece for Guedes, Kalajdzic, Podence and Silva wouldn't be too difficult to get and that's more or less paid for them.

 

[WolfLing]

Agree. They will want a high obligation. We will want a lower option.

The later in the window it goes, the more they'll budge!

 

[Northampton_wolf]

i think you can get 6 to 8m for podence, probably a little more for sasa if he has a good run at frankfurt

silva max 6 to 10m

guedes again depends on villareal

but id hope to see 30m total or more

 

[lets all have a disco]

I wonder if west ham may need to free up wages for Philips to join and it maybe Ings we are getting closer to ...

Not suggesting it's my preference, just a theory..

I was just thinking about the money we could get for Silva and Guedes but had completely overlooked Podence. Which, to be fair, is easy to do.

I think they're banking on £55m+ for Neto. Then some other likely bits and bobs (selling youngsters, Gibbs-White sell-on fee) should give us a decent budget. I think we'll need to prioritise a centre-back in the summer because Dawson's not getting any younger.

Bueno and Mosquera depending on success of his loan. Ideal for CB options.

I think S Bueno is the designated Dawson replacement.

 

[Bostin]

Ryan Giles being sold to Hull for £4.25m!

 

[StaffordWolf]

Ryan Giles being sold to Hull for £4.25m!

I find this really odd, they only bought him 6 months ago!

Always find that an odd statement. Who is getting any younger?

 

[Bostin]

I find this really odd, they only bought him 6 months ago!

He's only played 4 games. Either they've deemed him not good enough, or something has gone on behind the scenes.

Bit odd to go from the midlands, to Luton, to Hull!

Luckily we have a sell on clause

 

[hollo]

We sold Giles for 5 million so get nothing.

 

[Bostin]

We sold Giles for 5 million so get nothing.

Pretty sure we have a sell on clause so get a percentage of whatever they sell him for?

From Matt Hobbs interview when he left:

“When he wasn’t going to be part of Julen’s plans, it didn’t feel right to loan him again. It’s a good move for all parties, we protect ourselves with add ons and a sell on, but also a buy back. Now felt the right time to give him a home.”

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

100% not administration they were totally liquiddated, gone, ceased to exist.

Expired, demised, gone to meet its maker.

That my friend, is a dead parrot.

So much for the meltdown at selling him

It’s almost always for profit.

Often/usually the sell on only applies to what is over the original purchase price.

Well I wasn't going to say anything, but seeing as you brought it up....!

Yeah, 100% justified!
