Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[sedgwolf1980]

I just cannot comprehend what Fosun are trying to do. This is now getting to the point where it feels like deliberate sabotage, the decisions are just so inept.

Just at a complete loss with it all right now.

I have no idea. Just seems to me a lot of people are whinging about Doyle because they want McAtee. If McAtee isn’t available and Doyle is a decent player, then is it such a bad thing?

I'll be honest Jade, I know nothing about either. City appear to want to hold onto one of them, but are seemingly happy to let us have the other. That's not to say that just because he's not good enough for Man City, he's not good enough for us, but surely if he were available and he was all that, somebody would've been in for him before now?

But why accept any player unless he is markedly better than what we have - like Mcatee? Why take Doyle, full stop? They want our player!!

If we end up with Doyle, we've been bent over yet again.

 

[theweave]

Doyle has very good delivery

 

[Bryce]

Is it May 2024 yet?

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Doyle has very good delivery

To be honest, we have players who can win the ball in midfield, and we have forwards who can carry the ball, but if we lose Nunes, we will be lacking players who can pick out a pass, which is what Doyle can definitely do according to the various scouting reports I’ve read.

Everybody is whinging about anything atm. No matter what we do people will find something to moan at

No mate, we're still in the Premier league!

I just think there’s so much unknown here. How good is Doyle? Will he improve our team? Is McAtee available? How good is he? Would he improve our team? None of us really know.

Plus nothings happened yet

May I suggest in advance that anyone who starts a January 2024 Transfers thread gets a lengthy, immediate ban? It's a curse, it truly is.

After this summer, I doubt anyone will feel like starting a Jan 2024 transfer thread until Feb 2024!

Nunes can’t pick out a pass. His passing ability is worst part of his game

People just moan for the sake of it.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Really? I thought I’ve seen him starting to do this more? I mean that was Neves’s key strength in an attacking sense. I don’t see it as a strength in any of our other current midfielders.

 

[mcfc]

Doyle has very good delivery

That’s definitely his strongest asset, a good championship player nothing more nothing less. He won’t improve your first team. Mcatee is quality. Hodge played with both throughout his time at city so would help either settle in.

 

[Bryce]

No mate, we're still in the Premier league!

Tfft

 

[Dan G WWFC]

We need to actually spend the cash and get another winger in asap.

 

[floydstreet]

If it was macatee you’d have people moaning and wanting Doyle

Reality is most haven’t seen much of either
We don’t know it’s true - crook gets a lot wrong

It may include a loan also - I’d personally take palmer based on the few times I’ve seen him.
But also IF we are taking the money and IF we are investing , not all of the options and solutions will come from Man City.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Well let DPD or amazon sign him then

Palmer looks like a very good prospect to be fair.

 

[sillytuna]

Don't know the players but it is important we get a midfielder as long as the deal makes sense.

And a cb! My god we need a cb.

 

[Metal Wolf89]

Perhaps represents the portuguese team but was raised in brazil with brazilian family so he's just as much brazilian

Ah okay! Just remember seeing him in a Portuguese shirt!

Time we shop in South America again

 

[Arc]

Okay?

 

[maws]

Hudson Odoi won’t amount to anything decent. Probably signed for a club around his ceiling.

Another Lingard for me, lots of talent but really lacks commitment

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Be nice to do a deal that didn't involved bringing in untested kids.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Do players still go on loan for a month? Or am I going senile and that was never a thing

Yeah it was a thing. Transfer window put paid to that

 

[maws]

Why have we suddenly become a team that does business so late? Bed plsyers in over preseason ffs

 

[Sussex Wolf]

You do realise that we’ve been linked with Doyle for weeks as an alternative to Scott?

Wolves: Tommy Doyle could be Gibbs-White 2.0

The 21-year-old has similar strengths to the departed Molineux academy product...

[Metal Wolf89]

Man City can keep their over priced youngsters, just give us the cash so we can sign some hidden gems and sell for profit at a later stage if appropriate..

 

[Corporate Wolf]

That’s what Lopetegui wanted…. Look how that ended.

 

[JOSWolf]

Sums it up really when Forest - under that dodgy clown of an owner - are going past us.

Made some excellent moves in the last few days whilst our lot sit on their hands.

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Because that's what well run clubs do. We haven't been a well run club for 4 years now, and even that summer when we were in Europe, we had a terrible transfer window and didn't bring in the players Nuno wanted. Frankly we'll be lucky to pick up the scraps no one wants on deadline day and even then, I don't trust them to get even that done.

 

[floydstreet]

I would say only arsenal have managed early business

[ade123]

Based on what often happens with new managers ...... expect to see incoming from Bournmouth end of transfer window! Sorry for posting.

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Another point on doing business early, you can bet Hobbs and JL had the targets lined up too. Not over the top expensive players, but the likes of your Gyokeres, Alex Scott, Elvedi. Until Fosun and Bull**** Jeff came and scuppered all that. Hobbs frankly may as well not be here, his job is totally redundant and working with 2 hands behind his back while Fosun remain in post.

Shameful what's gone on , they'll be taking us down If we don't get in 3 of 4 quality players before the window closes the squad is threadbare and that's before injury and suspensions hit.

 

[DanishWolf]

Why is Doyle seen as the replacement for Nunes when Nunes leaving primarily leave us with less options for the wide midfield positions?
As far as I can tell it leaves us with Hwang, Neto and Sarabia for the winger/wide midfielder positions.
That's not very impressive..
In central midfield we already have Lemina, Gomes, Boubacar and Hodge and while he's better than Hodge I'm not sure he's much better than Boubacar. And he's certainly not better than Lemina and Gomes.
