Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Asthmatic Wolf]

You could argue that. Equally you could argue that Maguire (and Southgate) have been part of teams that have reached Semi finals and Finals major international tournament…

You can prove anything with facts…

Actually, I will bite on ‘bang average’. He is so clearly a very good footballer. You don’t do the above and play for a top 6 side for years on end as a ‘bang average’ footballer. Max Kilman is a ‘bang average’ premiership central defender (as is Craig Dawson).

Phil Jones played for a top six side for 12 years

 

[Wellington Wolf]

We have to keep Fabio. I think there would be a proper meltdown if he goes. Still echo what I’ve said previous, we have a good nucleus and only need 3-4 more players

Agree 100%

If there ever was a time to take a chance on someone we've already financially invested in then it's now. Wolvesball time. Now or never for Fabio. If we don't give him the chance then no wonder he wants out

 

[Wisdomwolf]

He was really good today but I never saw him celebrating which worries me.

Has to start for me.

Yes he did. I was right behind the goal. Cunha gave him a special hug and they had a quick word.

 

[JayStringer]

They have just received another 11 million for raul and giles and stilll the ******* won't release any funds to buy players. That's 93 million in transfers out and we only have doherty and king on frees.

Crucial to remember they're factoring in figures we haven't seen yet. A whole year's worth of accounts. Which includes paying off an entire coaching staff and Bruno. That's why all FFP talk on here needs to be remembered as speculation. They are working with figures we haven't seen and financial projections we haven't seen.

Relax folks. The signings are coming. They're just playing it very safe with the accounts.

Or does he want out so we aren't giving him a chance ?

 

[Perton Wolf]

Alex crook said Bournemouth favourites for Scott’s signature as Wolves struggling to get the money together.

We don't have the cash for the upfront payment that they would likely demand, I put this on another thread a week or two ago.

The financial situation of the club has been described as 'dire' as things stand. It's very concerning times.

Not sure whether a change of heart will come from FOSUN's topbrass or if further outgoings will help change things but we're financially ****ed as things stand.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

Yep £5 mil for MGW and a £1mil for Boly I thought

Im happy to have a sausage sizzle to raise a few quid.

 

[Guy dingley]

Crook loves Bournemouth Southampton means nothing

That is very true, I believe he is located very near Bournemouth so will always be slightly bias to them.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

That is very true, I believe he is located very near Bournemouth so will always be slightly bias to them.

He may live close to the south coast, but really, Bournemouth? Why would he choose to join a team that will be struggling to survive? If its a straight choice between Wolves and ... oh, hang on a minute. I just spotted a flaw in my argument.

Is that a euphemism?!

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

Just plain old beef one's.

Is he in a 5 year contract? Where is his loyalty if he goes? And personally I will be happy to see a few less Portuguese & Spanish in the squad.

Cash will never be a problem. The fee and add ons is the issue.

Honesty feel our current squad with a few clever additions such as Scott, Elvedi and a pacey striker. We will have a fantastic season, easily get top 10 possibly challenge for Europe. Next summer FFP will no longer restrict us and we can really benefit from the perks of having a world class manager in charge of our club.

You've really cheered me up!

Believe what you want, that's what I've been told is the reason for it not happening as things stand and why Bournemouth (who can afford a bigger up front payment than us) may get him instead.

i’m not quite as optimistic as you, but i don’t think we need loads more in, maybe 2-3.

centre back, midfielder who can do something different, and a forward

what worries me most is the mixed communication from the club and trusted journalists around it, plus JL feeling the need to repeatedly go to the press.

Love this, some much needed positivity on this forum. People are also forgetting we have an exceptional coach and team behind him.

Worries me more that we still don’t look like scoring goals.

We looked far more dangerous when Fabio came on and starting linking up with Cunha.

 

[oldgoldheart]

...well, the "one poster in particular" last year, was me.

i recall. which is why i asked

I agree. Only problem is we can’t afford Scott, Elvedi and a pacey striker at the moment

Hope he can get his move, seems like a great lad and is comfortably good enough for the championship.

This is another one we should have a sell on/ buy back clause.

I agree that we don’t need many NWW, but we do need some signings and if Fabio goes we are in an even weaker position.
The constantly changing position from respectable journalists is also unusual and worrying.

 

[lets all have a disco]

I bumped into Lian keen and Judah in a bar last night.....they was alright actually had a bit of a laugh .....

I give em a bit of stick....I said you pair are useless with the information etc......I said some of us ave a proper job and still beat em to 'exclusive' info.....

Just out of interest, why? They've been absolutely brilliant for Wolves, with a couple of notable exceptions like guedes.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Praying for some good news this week!!

Hopefully Pod finds a home. Thought Luton or Burnley would like him

He probably thinks City or Real Madrid will come in for him.

 

[Ponty]

The logical explanation is that they don’t actually know anything and are just filling copy with supposition and guess work. The only thing that matters is how the squad shapes up by the end of the window, and hopefully a bit earlier.

 

[berwickwolf]

Do you think Fabio will stay?

If we could sign one of Elvedi or Scott, I actually think Elvedi should be priority. Or someone for that position anyway.

Alex Scott for me every day of the week. Need to get it done asap.

 

[Wolf 82]

I want both.. but definitely more concerned with getting another CB currently.

 

[hollo]

Sign maitland niles on a free to play full back and sell semedo and podence. Then buy elvedi and scott.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Same Dawson has looked a liability so far and with only Gomes as back up its quite worrying .

Would love Scott to though as I’d love to see him threading balls to Cunha and Silva. Would actually make me excited to go to games again.

 

[Rednal Wolf]

Phil Jones played for a top six side for 12 years

That's stretching it . Very rarely saw him for seven years .

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Suprised a team like west ham don’t want podence or spurs for 10m

Perfect bsck up and adds creative options
