January 2024 transfer window thread.

[RosehillWolf]

Brazilian goal machine

That accompanying music is turd

 

[WickedWolfie]

What a name. That’s a Brazilian footballers name if ever I heard one

The last Brazilian forward we had scored a lot..... Sadly, after the first half season, all off the pitch.....

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

What a name. That’s a Brazilian footballers name if ever I heard one

With a Russian mother?

 

[WolfLing]

2 footed ?

In every picture or video I've seen he has 2 feet, yes.

It's only when we get down to plan W and below that we compromise on numbers of feet.

 

[wolfgar]

The word from the brother in law is that he is a very good player, but has had a pretty poor season thus far (its been a pretty average one for them overall). Thinks he's very promising though and it would be a decent deal for both. He's pretty clued up and thought we should have gone for Murillo when Forest bought him, so we'll soon see hopefully?

 

[WickedWolfie]

With a Russian mother?

Will get on well with Max then....

 

[the 15th Wanderer]

It's far more likely he's the forward we can get rather than who we need.

I'm not inclined to listen to reviews about any player. How many wanted nothing to do with GON based on that Bournemouth fans review of him? How many on here said they would have happily driven Hwang to Leeds last season and what would Leeds fan's have made of that? I'd much rather keep an open mind and judge him with my own eyes after a decent settling in period

It'll never catch on

 

[WV10Wolf]

The last Brazilian forward we had scored a lot..... Sadly, after the first half season, all off the pitch.....

Leo ‘****ger’ Bonatini

 

[thommo1984]

So...

"...he's closer to a traditional 9 than other modern Brazillian strikers and isn't the quickest, someone who very much operates best in and around the box."

And also

"...an extremely fast and agile player who typically behaves as a Shadow Striker."

[Rabid Wolf]

‘
Yuri Alberto is an extremely fast and agile player who typically behaves as a Shadow Striker. His excellent dribbling ability and composure in front of goal make him a potent weapon in the final third.

The 21-year-old can play anywhere across the front line and has decent positioning but he will be looking to further develop this in the future if he wants to take his game to the next level.

Interestingly, the centre-forward shows great quality at recovering the ball in the final third. This is definitely a quality to highlight as he can revive attacks by winning the ball back in dangerous areas on the pitch.

would be a great pick for a lower to mid-table English team.

Other players worth mentioning are Murilo (Palmeiras), Gabriel Menino (Palmeiras), Helinho (Red Bull Bragantino), João Gomes (Flamengo) and Santiago Simón (River Plate).

I've heard that name somewhere before.

 

[Skrilla]

Who knew the club would have a plan? Consider me absolutely shocked. I thought once Plan A fell through they'd just give up.

 

[WolfLing]

someone who very much operates best in and around the box

Sounds very similar to Bonatini then.

 

[JamesWolves]

Sounds very similar to Bonatini then.

gonna be mental to see all the Brazilian dual nationality kids in the academy in 10 years time

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Let's hope it happens.

We all know there are risks with every transfer, and he's had some poor reports from Corinthians fans but they're a big club who are underachieving.

The fact Zenit spent big money and that he's won a cap for Brazil (in a rotated squad, admittedly) suggests there's talent there. As well as that, the West Ham sporting director pushed for him by all accounts this summer, and he had a good summer window with who he brought in.

So hopefully we'd be the sort of move to get his career back on track.

No real risk as an option to buy, but also not a 'project' player, and we need someone to be able to fit in immediately, which he should be able to do.

 

[Wignall 3-0]

2 footed ?

Yep, and takes pens.

 

[Oliwolf44]

More or less what we are asking for and need. Centre forward as a back up to front 3 of neto, cunha, hwang. Plays a few games and mins to help rotate. (Possibly?) cheap wages and low fee that we dont have to trigger if no good. Allows fraser to go out on loan. Sounds fine to me and all the business we need.

 

[WickedWolfie]

gonna be mental to see all the Brazilian dual nationality kids in the academy in 10 years time

We all dream of a team of Bonatinis.... lol

 

[Darvo]

2 footed ?

I know that prosthetics have come on a lot recently but for that price, I certainly hope so!

 

[StaffordWolf]

2 footed ?

Yes, he has a head too.

 

[Wolf316]

As its loan with option there’s nothing to lose by seeing what he’s got.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Hes the greatest player I've learned about in the last 30 minutes

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

We all dream of a team of Bonatinis.... lol

Question then ....how many Bonatinis do you have to count before you fall asleep?

our potential new striker

I'm seeing shades of Harry Kane in this clip.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

'Lining up' a deal with a Brazilian club with less than 36 hours remaining.....they take 12 working days to open an email over there

 

[Bob Wolf]

Young, good at pressing the ball in final 3rd and likes to dribble at the opposition- sounds a very Hobbs/GON/wolves signing.

 

[SuperGran]

As its loan with option there’s nothing to lose by seeing what he’s got.

Only 22 as well

 

[Skrilla]

At least it's not Flamengo...

 

[SuperGran]

Agree he sounds exactly what GoN wants

 

[NothingButNeto]

'Lining up' a deal with a Brazilian club with less than 36 hours remaining.....they take 12 working days to open an email over there

I’m sure we were working on this in the background while we worked on our original targets (Adams, Broja etc.)

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

Mr Alberto improve us then that is amazing. Loan is fair time to judge

 

[SuperGran]

Could be a late loan move for Fraser maybe.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

yuri alberto!

 

[SuperGran]

yuri alberto!

Yuri the one that we want

 

[Adrian_Monk]

I’m sure we were working on this in the background while we worked on our original targets (Adams, Broja etc.)

Yeah the dig was at Percy, not Wolves (for once)

 

[lets all have a disco]

I’m sure we were working on this in the background while we worked on our original targets (Adams, Broja etc.)

We was always going to have a few fall back options.....we was probably inundated with agents offering forwards as it's been quite open we was after one...

[brianm]

If Hobbs pulls this off, then I will be thrilled at this window.

 

[Bostin]

Just goes to show, we ay got a clue what's going on behind the scenes

 

[fleck1]

South American market seems to have good value and looking around players generally adapt to the English style of football pretty well. A loan with option also suits us as its a free hit, adds an option to the squad, if it doesn't work we send him back and go again in the summer.

 

[WKFWolf]

I’m sure we were working on this in the background while we worked on our original targets (Adams, Broja etc.)

believe Hobbs said that we are now looking at multiple options before to cover scenarios (not exact wording but im confident i remember it correctly along these lines
