Summer 2024 transfer window thread.

[Woburn Wolf]

We talk about Neto and his fitness record.
But really, the knee cap thing was a bit of a freak injury with ,as far as I know, no long term effect. Plus a few niggly hamstring strains. It’s not like he’s Sasa!

You mean niggling hamstring strains that result in him missing weeks of action.

Desperate to come to us but I think that boat has sailed.

Has he even played since August? Seems like he’s been spitting his dummy out for months

You'd certainly be hesitant to sign him in case he pulled the same crap on us. Makes Nunes look like the ultimate pro.....

I think he played afew games since summer then he spat his dummy out again and now he has been dropped from the team.

He’s gonna be setting up camp at Compton by the sounds of it

The new Odemwingie lol

I hear he dreams of being African Player of the Year.

Get Jizz to loan him to Celtic then..... lol

 

[hollo]

Guys. He is showing great commitment to joining wolves. We should offer a loan with a view again.

 

[Monketron]

It's interesting that Wolves didn't go back for him in January when it looks like the club would have been open to our offer. Did we think better of it, think we could find better in the summer? or put off by the way he acted since or his injuries?

Also worth noting that his club are almost certainly going to be relegated from Serie A and will likely need to sell.

 

[Minimalist]

We’re getting linked to Nketiah now.
Would be a good signing I think,

Depends on the fee and wages..... Included in a Neto deal l wonder?

Yeah you’d think that’s possible.

Hadn’t thought about his wages, could be a stumbling block. The lad will surely be desperate to go somewhere he’s likely to play, so our lack of other natural central strikers would hopefully make us an appealing move.

If you believe internet sources he's on £100k/week.

They wanted an upfront fee in the summer when we offered a loan with a buy option, that wouldn’t have changed in January you’d imagine as it’s the same accounting period (I.e. we’re still skint and they wanted a guaranteed fee).

 

[thommo1984]

We’re getting linked to Nketiah now.

Where?

 

[Minimalist]

Where?

Team talk
Probably a bit click baity! But there have been several rumours of arsenal looking to move him on in the summer, you’d think we could be a good fit.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

So is Sarabia

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Didn't Arsenal want about £50m for him?

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

If Dia wants to come here that much let’s get him

 

[Minimalist]

So is Sarabia

Yeah but it might be the case we’re not going to pay that much anymore.

Market has changed a bit.
I’d of thought half that.
Him and £30m for Neto perhaps?

Nketiah and Ramsdale for Neto even…

Don’t be surprised if we deal with Girona again also….

would also take Reiss Nelson

Why Ramsdale he’s albion

Rather go for Yuri. The only problem is most South American clubs won't want to lose players so close to the end of their season.

 

[Monketron]

Got to be wary when buying younger (not so young actually) players from teams like Arsenal and Liverpool. They can slot in and look very good in the well oiled machines of their parent clubs but actually aren't as good as that makes them look in reality.

 

[WolfLing]

Nketiah and Nelson for Neto (with maybe a tickle of cash too), would be very good business in my opinion.

This can be very true. But they can also look terrible there, then go on to have very productive PL careers (like Solanke).

 

[bod101]

Disagree.
If we could only sign one player it has to be a 9.
Even if you stick to your desire to play a back 4.

regardless of playing a back four the current back line simply switch off too many times leaving players free be it 3 ch or 2ch

we simply cant only sign one player, the squad isnt deep enough to do this

Sell Neto, then we need a fast paced CB, a no9 and a replacement for Neto. That's bare minimum for a summer outlay I would suggest. But it's going to be a stretch to cover all that if money is still tight.

Oh god no!!!!!

He is a wasteful striker! He misses so many guilt edge chances in a side like Arsenal……

They have wanted rid for sometime! Hope we aren’t the ones dumb enough to take him because he can run around and press from the front…….

In the absence of no striker, I'd happily take one with proven goalscoring ability in the PL.

Averages a goal every 210 minutes of PL football, despite starting very few games.

People have kittens with hwang, they will lose their minds when they see how wasteful and frustrating he is and the cost differential between the two!

His finishing is very poor for the number of chances he gets.

There are plenty of others that could be moved on to raise funds. Fabio, Podence and maybe Guedes plus fringe youngsters.

Wouldn't worry. More chance of signing Eddie the Eagle under Fosun these days.
