What does this say? Previews no longer show up for me. Tried asking the Admins about it, but they have no idea why!

We've enquired about Alzate, number of clubs interested though

Ta.

Saw that on Twitter earlier. Don't remember too much about him but a quick search tells me he's better than KDB and we should be all over it?

 

[Wisdomwolf]

Gotta feel for Elvedi a bit. Wonder if his wages were a concern since he's more established than a guy like Bueno.

Or Bueno is better suited to a higher line of defence, which he would appear to be anyway

Looking at stats on Sofascore Bueno and Elvedi score similarly so it may be down to pace and a preference for a high line. Kilman score similarly to Elvedi and Bueno whilst Collins scores higher on the defending and tackling stats and lower on attacking, creativity and technical aspects.

My only thought is that playing for Girona he’ll probably been more used to defending and will have honed his technique more than say a Vallejo or even Semedo who were used to playing for teams that mainly attacked.

fascinating. i always saw collins as shaky defensively. unsure on the ball, with at least one howler of a pass per game. a bit like early Joh Stones

He gets to move where he wants to in a year so I don't.

Only one of a number of clubs reportedly interested.

I’d be concerned about the fee given where he’s coming from!

I live near the Leyton Orient ground and pop across to watch them from time to time. Remember being really impressed with him the season they got relegated to the conference. Looked a class above and had a feeling he'd go on to be a premier league player.

Couldn’t agree more. I was really disappointed with Collins on the ball and whilst he did make a lot of tackles it was partly down to port play on his part in the first place.

I think we’re going for Bueno over Elvedi as the latter already has 40+ Swiss caps and therefore his value is unlikely to increase as much as a player who has just broken into the Uruguayan team. Traditionally Uruguay have had strong no compromise defenders so it’ll be interesting if he is one of those.

Why didn't you inform our scouts then if you were aware of him? Could have saved us a small fortune if we go for him.

 

[Urko]

Strange that we’re signing players despite no Nunes sale.

A Hobb’s cunning plan or have Fosun woke up and smelt the coffee ?

I actually think Fosun don’t have a plan and they’re making it up as they go along.

Or the posturing in the media allows us to say we haven't sold Nunes. We give narrative that we are still skint and deals done more cheaply. That would suggest there is a plan. The girona ch suggests a favour from city group. We will only know in next couple of days!

Once we've got two or three actually signed, we'll accept whatever City's latest off was/is. If we're spending cash, he's gone.

Bueno is much needed as CB competition, Enso looks promising, but we'll need a starting XI midfielder/wide forward to replace Nunes.

I think the only guy that said we're skint is Lopetegui. If we have had no plan it could be because he has done a runner.

Upto c11 pages/day right now and have three deals currently on the anvil, three days to go could see this thread breach the 800 page mark.

First transfer in announcement I reckon at page 732 and Nunes deal confirmed 739.

40 plus pages on Friday is my prediction

Thank you page sage.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

I keep reading his name as Santiago Bernabeu

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Ansu Fati heading to Spurs on loan according to Fabrizo apparently.

Thought that might have been part of the carousel to get Nunes to City and Cancelo to Barcelona tbh.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Wolves to find out today if they can sign 20-year-old Pep called 'special'

It may well hinge on Matheus Nunes

www.molineux.news

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Not sure, a few clubs after him I beleive

Brighton? £85m

 

[so-called fan]

wonder why he hasn’t featured yet?

Missed first two matches with hamstring injury, bench for third, according to tm.

Is mendes still trying to push Felix to Barca?

He is.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Yeah, although there are apparently other options Felix will consider if the Barcelona move doesn’t happen.

"On the anvil" - love it. Might take over from "swoop" and "pounce" as my favourite transfer window expression.

Or maybe they wanted rid of Lopetegui ( for reasons unknown) and the no money strategy was a deliberate ploy to hack him off and the cheapest way to see him out?
In which case , as a plan , it worked.

been using it for years, then saw your response and thought crossed my mind, have I got it wrong all this time so did the natural thing and googled it:

on the anvil. (idiomatic) In a state of discussion, formation, or preparation; not yet matured

Outstanding OCD post, sir.
Love it!

It really shouldn't happen as Xavi didn't want him and he flunked his last move. Players moving around for the sake of moving around.

 

[Wignall 3-0]

There

So did I and a few others here. I believe Fosun have stopped putting money in, the club has to be self sufficient. I make it 19 players (19!) and a bloated expensive management team off annual the wage bill. Even allowing for a new management team coming in that must be around a £30+ million pa saving. I think FFP is contained even without Nunes going, but I think he will, and this will allow four players in before Friday night.

I think the Collins money would easily cover the guy from Girona and the kid from Paraguay.

Taremi to Milan for 15m euros would be a bargain.

It is strange and confusing. O'Neil did say that some new incomings were not dependent on further outgoing sales as I remember it. But who believed that? Main thing is getting this CB position sorted wih Santiago. The 18 year old Paraguayan winger is for the future. If Nunes does go then at least one midfielder needed (Wharton?) and then there are the rumours about Ihenacho. McAtee I doubt as simply on loan what is the point of us developing him for City? Doyle more likely if he is a better bet than the two Strasbourg midfielders/Wharton mentioned recently. Have Fosun woken up or is it that the Nunes deal is actually going through and will finance any such moves?
