Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[WolfLing]

In fairness everyone is constantly quoting rumours and journalists. 'They' haven't said a word and nor should they, as painful as it is for us.

One signing would change perceptions a lot.

Scott especially.

 

[Redhillwolf]

With Giles and Sarkic going if my source is right we should be signing two this week

I really hope you’re right mate! Any names or positions?….

Oh the hope, stop with your teasing, it's killing me, I can't take it anymore.......

 

[WolfLing]

Don't know if others have picked up on the BBC article quoting Nigel Pearson yesterday?

Alex Scott: Bristol City will not sell midfielder for less than £25m - Nigel Pearson

Some of his quotes.....

"There have been bids in for him, but we'll try and keep him. But we're always on the lookout to try and add to the squad and make us better than we already are and I think that's something that will be constant for us."

"I don't know how many bids there have been, as far as I'm concerned we've made our stance quite clear as a football club and that is for somebody to gain the opportunity to talk to him we're talking about £25m."

"There have been reports of bids for £21m and stuff like that in various news outlets, I've even read with interest some journalists saying that maybe we're setting our price too high for him. But what they fail to understand is we don't want to sell him, that's why we're pricing him the way that we are, and actually having seen him since the start of pre-season we should be asking £30m for him, never mind £25m. The bottom line is we as a club have said 'he's going to cost £25m as a starting point' and if something happens where he goes for less than that then I won't be very happy, I can tell you that now."

Some pretty standard clichés in there. He says a few times that they want to keep him.

But it's very unusual for a manager to be saying he wants to keep a player, but at the same time quoting a price!

It's basically an open 'come and get him' to any club willing to pay the asking price!

The question is signing two of what? Shirts, letters, invoices. Fairly certain it won’t be players.

Getting beat by Bournemouth for transfers, clubs pathetic

Utter ****ing shambles!

There we go then.

Absolute shambles.

Who wouldn't want to live on the south coast rather than the midlands.

 

[WalsallWolf]

"lol"

What a position we found ourselves in after 2018-2019. Even the following summer, still in a fantastic position to push on.

The events that have followed since then have been nothing short of farcical.

 

[Perton Wolf]

FOSUN abruptly pulling the plug on the club has really ****ed us.

 

[Matt]

I look forward to him being sold on for £100m in a couple of years while we’re in the Championship.

Talksport's Alex Crook saying Bournemouth closer to Scott, and people at Wolves tell him we've got nothing to sign anyone with.

kinda hits home now the actual state the club is in if they beat us to his signing.

He's right, we're skint.

The summer that keeps on giving...
What a complete shambles.

But still no explaination from the club..
This is so poor on every level.

 

[Bill McCai]

Its probably because Lop has been talking to the press and stopped us investing.

The bit I don’t get in all of this is why didn’t we sell Kilman?

 

[Bill McCai]

Lop should keep his mouth shut and be happy with King and Doc.

 

[Wolf316]

Really wouldn’t be surprised if Julen walks.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

Really wouldn’t be surprised if Julen walks.

He will!

 

[Starsky]

The new Bhatti's will **** away millions on their investment if they don't sell now.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

The fact so many of you want to disregard the Lopetegui/Balague interview is baffling to me.

He told us there was no money. He told us there were no new signings coming and that players will be leaving.

Yet some of you still have this idea it's wrong? I don't get it.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

But still no explaination from the club..

More than poor it's an absolute disgrace....

If this was a more "popular" club i.e London, top six club this would be a much bigger story! The Lopetegui interviews and players but yet the club stay silent and the guy running the club is no where to be seen!

Seriously ****ed off with Wolves at the moment tbh...

 

[Bugsy911]

What a total **** up losing our number 1 target who we were vocal about to Bournemouth , things are going to get very toxic this season.

 

[StourWolves]

Missing out on the gaffers priority signing then! Such a shame we finally get a top manager in and a what seems like a decent sporting director in Hobbs but their hands are tied due the mess they've inherited from Sellers & Shi.

 

[StourWolves]

Really wouldn’t be surprised if Julen walks.

Can see him doing it on the Friday before the start of the season. Just to give the two fingers up to Shi

I think it could well **** them as well.

Cutler is like a new signing

Get him in the new kit or something and parade him tonight in front of Luton

It really is bizarre..
The only communication we've is, the PR team sending out happy training videoes, and pathos filles quotes from the Sasa documentary to try and counter communicate the negative stories. Do these people think we're that thick?

Clearly!!!

 

[Monketron]

I want this season to end already and it hasn't even started yet.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Awful news on all levels if this happens.

1. Missing out on a very talented young English player, who could develop into something very special.

2. Quite clearly, Scott has been JL’s primary target for a number of months now. On top of everything else, this could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

3. It’ll be strengthening one of the teams who will be battling it out with us down in the Bottom Eight.

Hugely worried now.
