Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Northampton_wolf]

We'll make a loss on both of those though.

dont know about a loss thommo because podence has 1 year on deal so amortised its probably small profit, and small loss on guedes

 

[hollo]

We need to move guedes to a less prestigious club where he will play.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Not dia according to Percy which is hardly surprising given his antics

You could have made the same arguement for Gomes. We didn't and I would say that we would need to look at the bigger picture. If there is a better player who wants to come to us fine but if we think he is a good player and still wants to come here then fine again.

You dont mean bring him back here do you?

 

[old wittonian]

Haven’t heard what he said in full, but the quote here was that wolves aren’t out of the woods yet with FFP.

Percy said “Wolves remain under temporary restrictions and will not be spending big in the January transfer window”

So they don’t exactly contradict each other, it’s just Spiers slant was perhaps more negative in that we’re still under review and Percy was more about us being on track to come out of the other side okay.

Who has imposed these temporary restrictions?

Nothing like Gomes at all. Gomes did everything respectfully he’d agreed a move as had his club
Dia went on strike refusing to play, then refusing to report back after international duty don’t think we need that kind of drama.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

We'll make a loss on both of those though.

Also not sure why people are having a pop at Spiers, as he was right? We're going to have to be careful in January, which is exactly the same as Percy has said.

IF it is right that we have to be wary of FFP then the question is WHY. Including the vast fees to Mendes it can only be poor management and bad decisions transfer wise that would make us that vulnerable.
The present set up looks as if it is more responsible as long as Shi keeps out of it.

We don't pay vast fees to mendes ...yes he had a lot of fees of us....but our agents fees were always on the low end in the premier league.....

It's not agents fees that have caused FFP...it's not regularly selling players that does...in order to recycle the money ....the incoming money dried up...

 

[Chris H]

Who has imposed these temporary restrictions?

The way it’s written would suggest the Premier League have, but it’s ambiguous so that’s just my interpretation.

 

[Bradstonian]

Who has imposed these temporary restrictions?

I interpret that as being self-imposed by the club, to keep within the "rules".

Would be all over this for wingers in our squad if he would be available

Borussia Dortmund are ready to let English winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, 19, leave on loan in January as they continue to explore a return for Manchester United's 23-year-old England winger Jadon Sancho.

Now he does look decent. Hard to judge less physical leagues though

 

[Surrey Wolf]

I believe it's £45 million without owner investment??

15 million (5 per season)

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

15 million (5 per season)

We are now down the self sufficient path

 

[Chriswwfc]

We are now down the self sufficient path

We will never compete long term like this surely

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

We will never compete long term like this surely

Depends. Take a big Neto sale in the summer 70m with the others, but you are relying on 1 big sale every 4/5 windows to keep it going. Just doing enough to stay in the league and buy cheaper players. Suppose it might work for a while.

 

[Hixon Wolf]

15 million (5 per season)

Thanks for the correction.

Heard this one, player is interested in the move by all accounts too!

So it won’t be a difficult one or too expensive to get done, plus he has loads of pace and a very good shot on him. So he can be the Neto cover or foil for the othe wing this season.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

diallo will provide cover and competition and basically fill a void left by chiquinho/traore/podence

Sensible

Would represent a major change in policy if it were just a loan; without at least an option to buy.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Diallo makes sense would at least like an option but they are going to want 30m knowing manure

Could we get him on loan?

 

[hollo]

Wolves scouts have been present at heidenheim games watching jan niklas beste

Yduti mentioned beste in late october.Presumably cheap. A wolves type of signing with good goals and assists but under the radar. He plays for heidenheim.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Man utd paid 22m for Diallo......granted he hasn't done much bar a very good loan spell at Sunderland....he is still young .....if you offered man utd 20m for him tomorrow they would probably snap your hands off .....but unfortunately if you want him loan option or loan obligation it will probably involve a fee or premium later payment 25m plus to get him.....

That's the game you pay with delaying payments or attempting to see before you buy ...

I’d be making an offer for Hannibal too out of contract this coming summer. Proper fighter on the pitch

The Brazilian league is plenty physical.

Potential is what we would be buying for future profitability and sustainability

so he’s their poor mans Fabio Silva then?

same as Doyle, Bellegarde, Toti etc who are getting slated currently.

 

[lets all have a disco]

same as Doyle, Bellegarde, Toti etc who are getting slated currently.

Nobody slates them .....they are what they are....toti is a lion who does the basics well but has his limitations....Doyle is young lad who isn't currently a decent premier league option (understandably).... bellegarde is a relatively cheapish signing who might take time to adapt but probably isn't gonna be a world beater ...

Nobody slates them just, people think we lack a few options in the squad and on the bench to be more competitive...we've been spoilt with the likes of Neves etc ....some fans hopes and expectations might take time to adjust and adapt to the new path the club is going down ...

nobody slated then? you lost me right there.

Yes there might be some.....but remember some idiots slated Nuno, Raul , Fosun etc etc etc.....even when we was 7th.....

 

[North West Wanderer]

Yes there might be some.....but remember some idiots skated Nuno, Raul , Fosun etc etc etc.....even when we was 7th.....

indeed, and that’s why the potential route may ultimately fail.

 

[lets all have a disco]

indeed, and that’s why the potential route may ultimately fail.

The players you mentioned though, although potential is the correct word are essentially what they are a 1m 5m and 12m signings..... obviously despite his limitations Toti has been an exceptional find BUT unfortunately if it was that easy then all clubs would just spend small fees . .They might all turn out ok but whether we like it or not continuing with 1m 5m and 12m signings will inevitably only lead one way...

All clubs can find gems no doubt and you can waste money as we have done on big signings but going forward unless we have more finances than currently available we ain't getting any higher than say 12/14th whoever is in charge and whatever tactics , style or whatever they play....

 

[Norway Wolves]

Yes there might be some.....but remember some idiots slated Nuno, Raul , Fosun etc etc etc.....even when we was 7th.....

I don't think so to be honest.

 

[lets all have a disco]

so he’s their poor mans Fabio Silva then?

In a way.....was brought too young Yes ...it's a very similar story ....
