Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

Fabio is alright but RAN is going to the very very top

He might do, still feel like Fabio has more use to us currently unless we get someone else in

 

[QB Wolf]

I'd rather keep RAN and Fabio!

If you are to believe Lopetegui in his interview with Balague, then he doesn’t know who will be sold.
I’m struggling to think that’s completely true; why would any manager be working under such conditions?

Judging by the fact that Lopetegui didn’t play RAN towards the end of the season, I’m of the opinion that he’s happy he can go. Personally I’d rather see RAN play a more attacking role as a replacement for Podence.

Honestly, it really worries me what is going on.

Julen said anyone who dow want to play for wolves can leave.Perhaps there’s more that want to go than we anticipated.

100% Why does it have to be either or?

We know how good RAN is in the PL…….. Fabio is basically an unknown.
One is more of a gamble than the other.

 

[JOSWolf]

We’ve been told expect more to leave. RAN likely to leave he probably won’t be the last of the valuations are met

What is happening to our club?

 

[Wolf316]

Why is everyone ignoring the strong possibility that RAN wants to leave to go back to France?

 

[VancouverWolf]

Julen said anyone who dow want to play for wolves can leave.Perhaps there’s more that want to go than we anticipated.

After 3 lousy seasons, sometimes I think there was a line up outside Jeff’s door asking for a transfer.
The atmosphere at Compton might be toxic.

Should be building our team around young talent and letting them have bad games without wanting them dropped and tearing them apart but our fanbase are muppets.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

A more positive report on Scott…

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “Wolves have been putting together a third and final bid for him, and my information is that should happen by the start of next week.”

Wolves now 'preparing new offer' by 'start of next week' at Molineux

Wolverhampton Wanderers are plotting a move for a £25m star "with the world at his feet" this summer at Molineux.

True but he hardly got played so what’s the point if Jlo won’t play him?

 

[NordicWolf]

I think we have got too many players already in midfield who could or could be brilliant in a couple of years to justify 25 million really when we're skint.
It's not like hes even been capped at u-21 level yet. 25 million for him is obscene.
You could get Nico Gonzalez from barca and man city centre half with the double barreled surname for about the same price. I think both would be ready for us now. Would just need a centre forward and we would be sorted.

Nico González to Porto for 8.4 million euros.​

 

[1972 i began]

Our club is dealing with ffp at the moment.Hobbs is keeping quiet because he’s already told us that signings will be late in the window.To me it’s all a smokescreen,if not then poor Jeff dow know how to handle the situation.If they are disappointed with him,things would be said by them by now.Jeff is most probably happy the gaffa is telling everyone we ay got a pot to **** in.Bristol are probably getting nervous now if we ay got back to them,and all they have is the misery offer from Bournemouth.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Julen said anyone who dow want to play for wolves can leave.Perhaps there’s more that want to go than we anticipated.

Maybe anyone who doesn't want to work for Wolves should go first?

 

[Surrey Wolf]

Ait-Nouri & Podence were among the 1st named listed, that JL was happy to let go back in May.

 

[1972 i began]

If yam on about the gaffa,show me where he’s said he wants to gew.Cuz I ay sin ought.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Ait-Nouri & Podence were among the 1st named listed, that JL was happy to let go back in May.

Doesn't mean he won't turn around and claim he wanted to keep them now. The Raul comment was pure hypocrisy. Clearly didn't want him but not prepared to accept any responsibility for letting him go.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Did I say he "said" anything? Sorry couldn't possibly compete with the phonetics. what is that all about?

 

[VancouverWolf]

True but he hardly got played so what’s the point if Jlo won’t play him?

Very good point and I wonder why he doesn’t. I have to wonder if JL came in and turned some players against him, RAN included.
Not all coaches are good at man management.
How come JL was so surprised that Raul was leaving?……for god’s,how could he not know?

 

[Wolf316]

If there’s no incomings he’d have kept Raul.

 

[NordicWolf]

I think I remember reading that Rayan has a 50% sell on clause on any profit we make on a sale to former club Angers.

 

[VancouverWolf]

If there’s no incomings he’d have kept Raul.

What if after Lage and the serious lack of goals under JL, Raul, ( and maybe others), couldn’t wait to get off the Titanic?
In a very short career, I can see that some players might have thought to themselves, their wife’s and agents…..”enough, I’m done”.

 

[rincewind]

I think I remember reading that Rayan has a 50% sell on clause on any profit we make on a sale to former club Angers.

Yes, so half of anything over £9million or we can but the option out for £9 million I think. Of course a club desperate for money might loan him out for say £9 million, with an option becoming an obligation next for a further £9 million if he plays 1 game. Depending on wording of the original deal and how underhand such a club wanted to be.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Fosun have to be selling assets and selling up, leaving new owners to put their own stamp on the club. If they aren't then this is down to having the wrong ppl incharge of the club..Jeff Shi and Mendes. Absolute shocking transfer fees for players coming in and p*** poor return on players. Haven't a bloody clue.

It’s not a fire sale in the manner you describe. If it was, Kilman would have been sold for the 35m offered. The deals agreed for players sold this summer so far have actually been healthy relative to their market values.

You forgot to add "if I can find another club paying more or maybe the same for longer"

Seems a more credible source, although I can't say I'm a French football expert. £18m could be ok, depending on the structure of the deal.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Julen said anyone who dow want to play for wolves can leave.Perhaps there’s more that want to go than we anticipated.

And then got upset when we let players go that wanted to go. I think he's been a bit too idealistic in his approach.

 

[Bill McCai]

If Napoli hit the number Wolves want for Kilman they will accept the offer.

You can see we have little cash, as per the time it is taking to get Cresswell and Elvedi.

So we'd get £14M of that, would we? Is that right?

EDIT: it's almost certainly 18 million Euros, not sterling

 

[VancouverWolf]

Of course. I didn’t mean that was the only reason but if, ( like any job),the atmosphere was unpleasant, then people want a break.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

If there’s no incomings he’d have kept Raul.

But Raul can go because he doesn't want to be here. I wonder what all that from Senora Jiminez about his loyalty being questioned was all about.

 

[lets all have a disco]

If Rayan goes for18m, I reckon we will get Scott...

 

[StaffordWolf]

Good trade imo.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Nico González to Porto for 8.4 million euros.​

****. Missed that!

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Good trade imo.

Awful one imo. We've fixated on someone we don't need.

 

[MattH]

Good trade imo.

Adds up with the report floating around that we're expected to lodge third bid for Scott next week.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Hobbs out.

 

[Matt]

If we sell RAN and put the money towards Scott, fine, but then we still need a left back. No way we can rely on Bueno and spending £5m on Cresswell ain’t the answer.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

This would be a far worse decision than letting Fabio go

More bad news to follow on Fabio more clubs showing an interest
