Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[NothingButNeto]

But.... there are talks with the player... and negotiations are ongoing with MGB.

Other than that, totally accurate tweet.

Probably another smokescreen by MGB to see if they can get a higher price.

 

[AndyWolves]

It's almost like rumours and stuff you read in the internet/ twitter isn't always accurate...

 

[wwbug]

What a load of rubbish
Whst do you want the or department to do send you a gift bag

Isn't that what all multi million pound businesses do if they are in the public eye ? Goodness knows why.

 

[Kennedy]

His game isn’t about pace and doesn’t need to be he can read the game like Craddock & Irwin could one or two seasons left in him. Model professional keeps himself fit we don’t have loads of cash to splurge either he will be another one that’s going to be hard to replace when it comes to it. You can’t buy his experience and leadership qualities

We literally bought his experience and leadership in January.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

It seems everyone on twitter takes up one of three stock positions...

1) make stuff up with the hope something actually happens to be able to say "I told you so"

2) wait until a name has been linked elsewhere then confirm, so if it does happen they can say "I told you so"

Or 3) be totally contrary about rumours that have already surfaced to be able to say "I told you so" if it doesn't go ahead as expected...

3 is actually the easiest to pull off, because it can be spun as correct no matter what happens.

Especially when the person posting is employed by a company that profits from baseless speculation.

 

[Vtrpres]

Who and I mean who , including Fosun or JL would be able to pen a starting 11 down now for next month.
I can see Wolves scrabbling about on the last day of the window for the bloody dross to cobble a team up.
We will still be there 5 games out from the end of next campaign trying to avoid relegation.
No idea from top to bottom.
Could bring in another face from another ****e league to fail in the Prem again.

 

[wwbug]

When has any club, ever provided any sort of PR "narrative" around their transfer business?

What are Wolves not doing that other clubs are doing? I don't see a whole lot of narration going on elsewhere.

We are tone deaf to our supporters , and have been for three years.

Are you actually looking at other clubs ? I think you will find the succesful have PR departments , they are there to advise owners what to say .

 

[Alienwolf]

A private flight from MGB has been pending for today & tomorrow. Could be completely unconnected, but fingers crossed

I really liked how Arsenal kept their fans updated with how their pursuit of Declan Rice was going.

No clubs do this, ever. To expect it is just bonkers.

Apart from the fact this guy is basically the German Ornstein and is bang-on with everything to do with German football. First called our Sasa deal last summer.

We'll of course they have PR departments but they don't go round announcing detailed strategic business information.

Has any club ever provided a narrative around their transfer strategy via the media?

I'd venture that it's one of the most tightly guarded facets of the business, not something that any club would broadcast through the media beyond "we're looking to sell some players and buy some other players" which is essentially what Hobbs has already said.

He's employed by Sky. And is categorically wrong here (or intentionally lying)

MGB aye that a car

 

[Jd132]

How come every single bit of our transfer business is being leaked to the media? This Scott deal has now been back and forth for months and we are getting daily rejection updates.

I was hoping Elvedi was going to be swift but we are now 72 hours from when it was first mooted on here (well done @lets all have a disco !)

Can't we just do some business that shows we are clear in our thinking and know what we are doing?

 

[Contrarian]

We're signing Morgan Gibbs-Bright?

We all feel frustrated about the lack of signings. Hopefully we will here something soon. The fact we have bid twice for scott gives me hope that the wheels are in motion.

That isnt what I was saying. I dont expect a "narrative "to talk about individual players.

But as you mention Arsenal , their fans know what Arsenal want to achieve next year - Europe or better.

What are we trying to achieve - accumulate cash and avoid relegation - thats the "drift" .

Things take time don't they ..the modern world expects everything to happen instantly....there is a lot of work goes into contracts etc ... Doherty deal has taken about 7/8 days ....things take time ..
Declan rice took an internity and Torres at villa .

And the likelihood of getting a transfer done without it being leaked i.s zero I reckon.....you can't keep every angle covered...

I didnt say strategic decision. I said narrative . They are there to prevent negative narratives. And counter with positive information.
At the moment the air is of downsizing ,selling , getting smaller and will try to avoid relegation.

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

German football correspondent on Talk Sport (I know, I know) seems confident Elvedi deal very close. £7.7 million. Bargain he reckons.

Shame we don't go for he's team mate

Florian Neuhaus​

as well who also has a year left on he's contract and can leave unless signs a new contract

Just fun and games of most transfer business. Very few are straight forward or easy peasy. For example Bristol could be feeding BS to sky about Bournemouth being front runners in the chase for Scott just to put a bit more pressure on us. Nobody really knows what is going on behind the scenes but it's fair to say there is plenty of smoke and mirrors and brinkmanship at play, as with the majority of transfers.

What do you want them to do? A picture board for everyone?

Good player, probably out of our league though

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Im confused we need more experience but you want us to keep Sanderson and you don’t want short term fix by signing young players?

Blend them in but we are going for short term fixes at the moment which is ok but we need long term vision I guess that went out the window with Hoever and Fabio cases going down as total failures

 

[The Clock]

I'm not going to get too excited about any of these signings till they're over the line. Especially Scott

I’m not going to get too excited about any of these signings till they are in the team and playing well.. Especially Scott

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

No idea what that's supposed to mean.

He's got a LOB on, and due to the rarity of such an event, he wants everyone to know.

 

[so-called fan]

A private flight from MGB has been pending for today & tomorrow. Could be completely unconnected, but fingers crossed

This is Monchengladbach (MGL)? And not Mount Gambier Airport, Australia (MGB)?

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Did play a bit of footy in my teens/20s. Wasn't the fittest but fairly certain I could have played football on Tuesday and signed my name on Wednesday...

Oh dear…….normally clubs wouldn’t play a player that is on the verge of a lucrative transfer for fear of the player getting injured and the selling club losing money……but of course you knew that…..btw sarcasm is the lowest form of wit

Do not stress. By Friday we will all be in full belief that we are mounting a European charge. The additions of Scott, Elvedi and Doc. Supplementing a hungry returned Fabio, life is good.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Scott?

Did he get injured today?

 

[theweave]

Did he get injured today?

Not that I've seen. With him, Gomes and Nunes that would be a good long term vision

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Apparently Scott played very well today, and should have scored a worldy if not for an amazing save.

 

[Supadavewolf]

"The first real chance of the game arrived for City as Alex Scott saw a driven effort towards the bottom left corner beaten away by Murphy Mahoney. A few minutes later, a superb save from the Town gloveman denied Scott once more with a long-range effort apparently destined for the top-right corner.".

" Early in the second period, Scott clipped the bar with a poorly-timed header "
(source: Swindon Advertiser)

No, not injured.

Can I be the first to say that he can't shoot and he can't head the ball? Just pre-empting others

He's been hit and miss lately. Used to be spot on for most deals in Germany.
