Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Ponty]

But you just know its always going to be offers of belllow 25m when it comes to our players and that we will just set 30m as a sale price in response.

There’s absolutely no evidence for this. Plenty to moan about so no need to just make stuff up.

 

[Jonzy54]

I have a feeling after O’Neil’s comments about having to wheel and deal that alongside Jonny and Podence departing ,Silva might also leave us .He didn’t start yesterday and he didn’t get the Number 9 shirt which remains unallocated

He’s our only ‘natural’, no.9.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

I can't believe that if the stories are correct and we've been chasing Antonio all summer he'd go ahead and publicly tip us for relegation

I'm pretty certain it's complete BS

I think if we had been chasing Antonio all summer, we would have caught him by now. Hopefully he keeps evading us.

 

[Erick1011]

It would be crazy to let him go. When he came on, we immediately had a focal point in the box, and he started hitting shots on target.

 

[djmikeydickens]

Id be fuming if we let Silva go now. Get Jonny and Podence out and get a CB for cover even if it's a loan

 

[Jonzy54]

He is but it wouldn’t surprise me if he did leave

would you sign nicolas pepe if he was terminated by arsenal?

It’s a big fat No from me

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Agree about Cresswell, but would we really be wise to turn our noses up at Antonio for depth? Sasa's knees are hardly reliable...

100% I wouldn't touch him. Soon to be 34, massive wages and he's not the type of player to age well

 

[Ditton Wolf]

Few PL sides losing some players already through injury. Also some clubs still waiting to make transfers.

City losing KDB for 4 months and Liverpool looking for midfield players. Both managers rate Matheus Nunes.... just putting it out there. Hope we say 'No' we need him.

 

[Skrilla]

Would you rather have nothing if that was the alternative? We don't know what it would cost, and as you say, probably big wages, but I still think he could give us something.

Silva has been offered to Dortmund, according to a top German reporter.

Saudi's continuing to inflate the prices of players, which isn't helping our cause as we search for bargains. Expect any business we do now will come in the last days of the window when prices start to drop and the big clubs finalise their squads.

The usual pinch of salt

 

[Flaneur]

The usual pinch of salt

Followed by Fabrizio and David Ornstein, viewed by many as one of, if not, the top journalist in Germany.

All for taking things with a pinch of salt, but it doesn’t sound too promising. Let’s hope it’s something that doesn’t progress if true! Apparently they want Bella-Kotchap from Southampton but only on a loan, so they may not even have the money to pay what we’d want for Fabio, who knows?

Offered? Why the **** are we offering him to anyone?

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Offered? Why the **** are we offering him to anyone?

We clearly want the money he could bring in (£20m?)

Again, sorry for repeating myself but have been told he’s going.

I expect Wolves will say he wanted to go, we only want committed players etc.

Looking on Twitter it seems like this was reported yesterday but they've only just picked up on it.

"Borussia Dortmund were offered various players such as Fabio Silva from Wolves, Toni Martinez from Porto, Ekitike is not coming, Jean-Philippe Mateta too. These are names that were offered."

Hopefully "were" means it was earlier in the summer.

Offered…..Offered….
I mean what the flip is that… and who is offering? That shister Mendes?

Offered by who though? His agent is one thing, the club is a whole other.

If he goes and we bring in Antonio Molineux is going to get really toxic.

That would rapidly blow away the goodwill generated by last night's performance....

 

[WickedWolfie]

Old and past it is bad enough, the fact that he predicted us to go down is the cherry on that.

Some might point out that l said that could happen. The difference is that l am not, and never will be, a Wolves player.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Every time the flames dampen down, someone slinks out of the shadows with another can of petrol.

 

[Hawkguy]

I think from this summer, we have seen and can tell that We won’t spend it or a good portion sadly…..

I disagree completely

This will be the icing on the cake of a disgraceful summer at the club if they let Silva go now. Would leave us with one out and out no9 who as we know is injury prone. Complete and utter lunacy and stupidity if the fools at the club sell Fabio now. Could be the final straw for some with Fosun if this happens in my opinion.

Rightly so if that happened.

It will certainly shift me from happyish clapper to the Shi/Fosun out camp if it happens.

 

[Joshwolf218]

Most likely his agent, who has already plainly said to a wolves fan site he's trying to move fabio on and I'm sure his dad needs another payout for something.

Fabio just needs to be given a starting spot with Cunha, keep him happy get the team scoring

Money for what? The big fat hole all income this summer has been thrown into?
But yeah I agree with you. The excuses will be wheeled out. Hopefully nobody buys it.

Imagine signing someone for £35 million, spend a few years for him to develop and then finally when he starts to flourish, sell for £25 million...

There would be no excuse...absolutely no excuse.

 

[hollo]

We need to keep everyone and only entertain chelsea like crazy bids.

Plus the wages we have spent on im in that time when he was actively here and do we know if the clubs he went to on loan paid his full wages there?

 

[Dan G WWFC]

He'll want more then a 1 year deal. So you're paying big wages for 2-3 years for a guy that will be nowhere near it. Might as well have kept Raul or Costa. I'm happy with Cunha, Silva and Sasa as forwards, with Sarabia, Hwang and Neto able to play upfront in a 2 As well.

Centre halfs meanwhile

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Just close this sodding window FFS

 

[Wolf316]

Currently on £100k for the last year of his contract so it’s going cost a lot of money to bring him in.

 

[wolfslair]

I disagree completely

Based on what?

We have generated a lot of money so far and only brought in an ex-player for free and a HG squad filler who will never play a prem game again for free.

Let alone all the money off the wage bill from the sales and non renewed contracted players.

we haven’t spent a penny thus far, so even if we did spend any fee I bet the replacement fee would be only a small fraction of that.

Replacing KDB’s passing with Nunes’? What could possibly go wrong? Like all players Nunes has strengths and weaknesses and passing is very much at the top of the weaknesses list. I think we can sleep easy on this one.
