You two needs to start a fight about this.No, that’s Calvin.

Smack on. We can’t spend £20 million or £34 million on a player and then develop him in the first team. Mistakes cannot be tolerated at the top level.I'm not saying you don't know what day of the week it is exactly, but ......
Thing with Collins (maybe Silva, RAN) is that you can't afford to have players worth millions, who you think you might make money on in a few years, sat around not actually contributing, when you're essentially skint. We need to ship them out and strengthen the starting XI and then be creative with kids and cheaper signings. Of course I'm not sure where that leave the entire Fosun strategy.
The first six minutes of the window being openWhen is the correct time to move through the 6 stages of Transfer Thread Emotions;
1. Excitement
2. Apathy
3. Mild Irritation
4. Anxiety
5. Panic
6. Pant Wetting.
Asking on behalf of a friend!
Jonny is not useful in any way anymore, and is a liability. It is a real shame as he's been so unlucky with injuries, but he is totally unselectable.Jonny's a very useful squad player capable of playing either side of defence. I'd not be rushing to get him out.
Don king.Have we signed anyone yet
Nobody has questioned his ability. It’s his ability to stay off the treatment table that is the only issue.I think people really underestimate how good he was in Germany and how much of a good signing it was. Very much doubt we get a better striker for £15m
I agree.Can’t believe people are anxious and angry about the lack of activity. Been dying for a mass clearout in years, yes granted we haven’t got rid of the deadwood in Podence, Raul & RAN but that’s probably because nobody wants them…
Most excited I’ve been in a long time about our transfer window strategy and after January, I have full faith in JLo & Hobbs. Bring it on.
I have doubts.Doesn´t look right for Prem.Nobody has questioned his ability. It’s his ability to stay off the treatment table that is the only issue.
He was. All of the evidence from last season is that he no longer is.Jonny's a very useful squad player capable of playing either side of defence. I'd not be rushing to get him out.
The existing structure should have been knocked down over a few windows, not all at the same time. Hope hobbs can work miracles.You cannot rebuild unless you knock down the existing structure first surely that's quite obvious. I am sure it will all calm down when that shiny new RSJ arrives.
"Was", not "is". Was probably the first name on the team sheet for a long while but the 2 x injuries have done for him, sorry. Its very disappointing and sad but he should probably retire on medical grounds and we should pay up his contract.Jonny's a very useful squad player capable of playing either side of defence.

The summer transfer window will close in England at 11pm on Friday September 1Just remind this tired old head when does this (summer) transfer window end?
I'm trying hard to appreciate some of the goings of late and note that as yet there are few comings, so I'm wondering just how long it will be before the master plan becomes clear. (Is it 31st August?)
Yep and our first game is 2 weeks before thatThe summer transfer window will close in England at 11pm on Friday September 1
Tottenhams new ground? HahaYou cannot rebuild unless you knock down the existing structure first surely that's quite obvious. I am sure it will all calm down when that shiny new RSJ arrives.
Lets hope that the list was more than just one position and that Tom King, being the fourth on the goalkeeping list isn't it, and business is concluded!Not Panicking yet .. there is a plan .. JL gave Matt Hobbs a list of positions he wanted to improve and a list of players who could leave not in his plans .. Matt and his team including JL's son have identified around 4 players per position and JL prioritized the players .. the plan is to go for the top one in each position and if not possible go onto the next .. that plan is in operation..
Yes, but we have had plans for the last six transfer windows and look how they turned out.Not Panicking yet .. there is a plan ..

I know how hard is it to spell Rancid **** Filled Bucket of Donkey Anal Discharge!Moxley lol. I love after all these years people still get his name wrong.
Sasha is an injury waiting to happen and is ‘hoping’ to be fit for the first game of the season. Silva doesn’t want to be at Wolves, and who can blame him. So we’re left with the pairing that bagged 2 goals between them last season, Cunha scoring both. Raul was sparsely used and was clearly unhappy at the end of last season.If we started the season with the current squad plus silva plus giles, we'd probably be ok as long as we signed a CB as cover. It may not be inspiring but I also don't think it'd be bad.
Sasa and Silva can play with cunha up front and jimenez can still provide something, esp if he has a full pre season. Pod, for all the haters, does provide goals too.
I don't understand all the panic. Plus I dont think we will start like this anyway.
No loans just cash please.
Marseille apparently asked for a loan deal while Wolves are looking for 18m Euros...
I think Kilman could be more suited to Serie A than the Premier League, as it isn't generally as fast a paced league. I'm hoping that JL's of the opinion that Dawson's great positional sense and defending needs complimenting with defenders who are mobile and quick. Defenders with pace and mobility not only get turned less often but can also be quicker to the ball to start off attacks.
I personally think we've lacked pace through the spine of the team for a long time.

Probably in the past one of the problems has been being able to sell players, which has then affected recruitment.Yes, but we have had plans for the last six transfer windows and look how they turned out.
Would love to know who's on that list, fill in the blanks whilst we wait:Not Panicking yet .. there is a plan ..

To be fair, we have a stronger team behind the scenes now. January window played a massive part of us staying up.Yes, but we have had plans for the last six transfer windows and look how they turned out.
I like this idea but would point out we have been linked to loads of Defensive midfielders that are over 6'2 - Nico Gonzalez, Al-Musrati, Batista Mendy, Vinicius Souza, Kondogbia, Redondo et al so I think it should be added in as a line.Would love to know who's on that list, fill in the blanks whilst we wait:

I think that's a little unfair. While I'd agree he wasn't the same player after his return from injury, righting him off after just half a season seems hasty.Jonny is not useful in any way anymore, and is a liability. It is a real shame as he's been so unlucky with injuries, but he is totally unselectable.
It's a very weird correction of my grammar, seeing as I never used "is" or "was" in my post."Was", not "is". Was probably the first name on the team sheet for a long while but the 2 x injuries have done for him, sorry. Its very disappointing and sad but he should probably retire on medical grounds and we should pay up his contract.
