January 2024 transfer window thread.

[Matt]

I know nothing about Dia to be honest but if he's the one we've identified then hopefully we can get him in quickly. Interestingly, one of the players he is similar to, according to FBREF, is Matheus Cunha (Boulaye Dia Stats, Goals, Records, Assists, Cups and more | FBref.com).

Get him and Reiss Nelson in early doors and that's us done until summer.

 

[AndyWolves]

Boulaye Dia wasn't in Salernitanas squad today. Not sure if that's relevant or not.

As an aside, does anyone else think Boulaye sounds like a Brummie saying Bully?

Totally agree....if you had asked me 6 weeks ago I was desperate for a wide forward, winger type....but with Sarabia finding form , Neto back and to a point bellegarde and Rayan being options out wide, it may not be such a necessity...

But it imperative we get someone to cover hwang and Cunha , because Saza isn't that man at all ...we need another player similar to what we have for numbers and that's Bouleye Dia......(at a push last minute back up plan Che Adams).....

 

[lets all have a disco]

He's injured

Supposedly but has been picked in the AFCON squad...

 

[AndyWolves]

He's injured

Is he injured or "injured"?

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Should be able to overcome injury in a week or two lines up fine if we got him for Brighton 22nd

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Get Adebayo from Luton. He’s raw as hell but a real handful and knows where the net is.

Scoring at this level isn’t easy especially for Luton. He has something about him.

He just doesn't fit into how we play....we thrive on pace , movement....it's the reason Saza get zero minutes...

We don't play like Luton... lumping balls into the box....

 

[Northampton_wolf]

But again he could be at afcon

 

[JamesWolves]

But again he could be at afcon

Senegal are favourites for the whole thing so he's gone til the 13th/14th Feb can't which final is when

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

But again he could be at afcon

Am told we trying to get Dia on loan. Hoping the player forces the move, lowering the fee potentially. Could be the long game on this one, with ACON starting soon

Arsenal want assurances over loaning us Nelson that he will play most games. Stumbling block early on this one

That’s not happening. Next…

 

[wwbug]

All is going well .
Thats when we will see if Fosun are gradual builders or knee jerkers like last January.

Paper talk of Arsenal wanting Neto just wondered if this was the first step with the Nelson loan being talked about.

 

[Rowzed]

Jon Rowe Norwich. Handy and hardworking striker
Jaden Philogene Hull. Neto but left sided
Taylor Harwood Bellis Man City @ Southampton. Dawson replacement
Sam Iling Juventus ( one for the future )

all English, all young, if not now then in the summer
there are some gems in England U21 squad. Look who was in the last team that won the Euros, most now PL starters

 

[NottsWolves]

I think it will probably be someone we don’t know or haven’t really heard of.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Jon rowe I'd love to get early doors

****ty way to do business that and I’d expect better from us.

 

[MattH]

****ty way to do business that and I’d expect better from us.

Depends how the other club are behaving. If they've ****ed Dia off then it's not necessarily us encouraging him to push for a move.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Paper talk of Arsenal wanting Neto just wondered if this was the first step with the Nelson loan being talked about.

Arsenal have to offload before buying and let me tell you Neto will not be sold for under €70m

****ty way to do business that and I’d expect better from us.

We are just happy to let it take its cause and hopefully turn his head again.

Wouldn’t read too much into it. Big summer ahead. Losing too many key players would be a disaster

 

[hollo]

Neto 2027. No rush to sell.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Neto 2027. No rush to sell.

And we certainly aren't going to sell him midseason either.

 

[JohnB]

And we certainly aren't going to sell him midseason either.

At the right price we’d sell anyone mid season (as would everyone else). As ever simple debate is what price would lead us to sell.

 

[rincewind]

Yep, if say Arsenal knock on the door with £70 million I think we'd sell. The club have seen what happens from holding on to players too long (Adama cough, cough)

Don’t think Liverpool or City who wanted him at the time would of ever offered over 40m I think we all know Neto has an end product and is levels above Adama Traore. The Mudryk fee has set a precedent for explosive wingers…

 

[wolvesaywe]

Imagine the meltdown if mol mix was around when we signed Bully and thommo

My telex machine was going bonkers

Suppose how much they value Nelson as a make weight in any deal to get round FFP. I don't see Neto being sold mid season more likely summer if he wanted to leave.

He’s not worth that much 15m at the most.

Arsenal fans seem to think he’s good just not good enough for them… Iv heard that line many times before over the years.

As you’ve said any big transfers I expect to be done in the summer. Therefore helping the following season in terms of FFP & sustainability rules

 

[wolfslair]

Scoring at this level isn’t easy especially for Luton. He has something about him.

I have signed him the last two FIFA’s for my career mode……

I really like the lad!

 

[Perton Wolf]

Don't buy that argument, an important player like Neto is much harder to replace in January.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Yep, if say Arsenal knock on the door with £70 million I think we'd sell. The club have seen what happens from holding on to players too long (Adama cough, cough)

Well, we aren't getting £70mill for him so this is all hypothetical. £50m more realistic.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Kyogo from Celtic?

Dia fits the mould of the player that we want but so does Adam's a pressing combative forward

So that cunha can play in behind

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Well, we aren't getting £70mill for him so this is all hypothetical. £50m more realistic.

We sold Jota for 40m about 4 years ago I think inflation has risen. Mudryk fee has set the precedent on Neto.

How is it brighton can demand ridiculous fees of 100m for a one season wonder yet Neto is only worth half?? Doesn’t add up

Neto’s assists add to the fee also.

Best situation we can hope for is a bidding war starts, which includes brain dead chelsea

Arnaud Kalimuendo​

One I'd take a look at for a mobile pressing finisher.

He certainly would but young and fits the mould we need. Won't happen as we don't have the funds.

I expect a loan with obligation for dia might

No brainer to enquire into getting nelson tbh. Provides cover and competition

Rewatched presser after Everton.gon specifically said that he believes that the plan with the club for next season is going well and financially we will have option and things to do.

His aim and target was just to remain in the league

He now wants to push players to high as they can go

But perhaps positive for summer window

 

[North West Wanderer]

Neto has already said he’s not leaving in January, so let’s not even worry about it
