Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

If Silva wants to leave then let him

Only if we can reinvest the money we sold him for. I think that seems a fair deal who could we get for 20m?

Jonas Wind from Wolfsburg??

20m ????

What would we accept a 15m loss on him

In todays market and our position he is worth 70-100 minimum

 

[Sussex Wolf]

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

100%

The story of this summer has been one of rays of hope quickly vanquished by another Shi ****storm.

Except that it wouldn’t be a 15m loss as he’s worth less than 20m on our books now.

 

[Premier Quality]

I’d take Pepe if his wages were reasonable and he was on a free.

Depends whether you think £7.28M/year is "reasonable"..... That's what he's on currently....

I like Wind but he gives us nothing Sasa can't already give us.

 

[goldeneyed]

How much would it cost to replace Silva- even assuming we could find anyone?. At least £30m probably more like £40m. We won't get more than £25m for him at the moment tops. He is just about to break through for goodness sake - don't sell him NOW. If he gets 10 goals this season his value will double.

It would honestly be insane to sell him

GON has to start him sat

Fullkrug.

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.

This isn’t true. We made the loans of Cunha and Traore permanent for something close to £45 million. I know they were here last season but the money is committed to this year, yes we don’t spend all of that money in one go, but then it’s a longer conversation about all the previous deals we’ve done we’re still paying for that explains why they can’t spend.

Basically football finance doesn’t work in the way you may think, it’s not as simple as we sold £90million of players so we have £90million to spend

[Ponty]

“Some work to do” suggests he’s behaving like a right Prima Donna.

 

[WKFWolf]

“Some work to do” suggests he’s behaving like a right Prima Donna.

Or that he's rightly concerned regarding the change of manager.

 

[lets all have a disco]

In Budapest on the razzle.....me mate got his top on....if one more person mentions bolla to me..worse than coming on here.....

 

[Wolf316]

“Some work to do” suggests he’s behaving like a right Prima Donna.

Makes it sound like he wants to know how O Neil plans to use him.

 

[Novawolf1]

Doesn’t have to mean he’s a prima Donna or rightly concerned….maybe just pointing out he’s hardly met him and it tends to take somewhat longer for relationships to build. We don’t always have to reach for the negatives….UTW

 

[Ponty]

Makes it sound like he wants to know how O Neil plans to use him.

Don’t hear murmurs about that from other players.

 

[Ponty]

Makes it sound like he wants to know how O Neil plans to use him.

He’s contracted to Wolves, not a manager. We made him a multi millionaire, time for him to knuckle down and uphold his side of that contract.

 

[Novawolf1]

Keen’s obviously been digging following the latest scaremongering which was Fabio related….Cuhna seems positive about the impact on the squad

 

[WickedWolfie]

Or that he's rightly concerned regarding the change of manager.

I suspect that he may not be the only one.

I hope that Keen is spot on.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Sky linking Celtic with Podence now as well, but says they won't pay £12m, which isn't a surprise.

Have to say, that move would be hilarious. He'd be the best player in the league by a mile at home games, and start a fight in every away game as he rolls around from being booted non-stop.

Not put ourselves in a great position with him to be honest. One year left on his deal and frozen out means we aren't going to get what we want. £7-8m seems more realistic if it is Celtic, even if they do have the Jota money.

 

[wolvesaywe]

I hope that Keen is spot on.

He always is if he's this certain. Definitely gets information from the club when they want it leaked

If we could get enough to buy Elvedi I’d be happy with that. Oh and just to say I’ll happily drive him to Glasgow.

 

[WKFWolf]

Yeh and I don't mean necessarily in a bad way either. But he's got to see what his place in the team is, will he get the opportunities he wants etc. Coming off the back of a good season on loan we need to support his continued development for his and our benefit

 

[Wonder Boyo]

I hope that Keen is spot on.

Normally is regarding transfers. Thought he does add a caveat in his next post saying "... currently no plans to let him go this summer."

Our bench looked really solid against united. I think people underestimate the depth that we actually do have. 1-2 new players (cb cover priority) and we actually look good for the season assuming we keep everyone (bar podence and jonny). As good as our squad was under nuno, imo this is the most technically gifted squad we've had in a long long time and whilst initially many of us thought we'd struggle with all the negativity around the club, lack of siginings, change of manager, that game against united has changed the mood entirely for me. Whilst I may be speaking too soon, I'm really excited for this season, moreso than I have been for the past 2-3 years and if we can consistently play like we did against united - a team who'll no doubt be aiming for top 4 this season, then why can't we get top 10 if not even challenge for europe? This is exactly how the season started under bruno lage when he was first here and for a majority of that season we were in european places and could have easily gotten one if not for the terrible end of season run. And our squad was arguably worse back then than it is now

People are happy with the squad but we clearly could do with a cb back up

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Silva ain't leaving he was sold on staying before JL left feels he's got a chance to play in prem again as main man

JL reassured him but gon still has work to do but speaking so highly of him in press will only help.

Sees him as important to our season, hope he starts against brighton

 

[binners]

I like Wind but he gives us nothing Sasa can't already give us.

How about 2 strong knees

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Keep this squad together with maybe 2 loan with obligation to buy and decent free agent. Things would look good

 

[wwbug]

Or that he's rightly concerned regarding the change of manager.

For goodness sake he is a kid who hasnt scored much. We have Cunha, Nunes, Sarabio

 

[Premier Quality]

Depends whether you think £7.28M/year is "reasonable"..... That's what he's on currently....

He won’t get that anywhere though - that’s the wages of a £72m up and coming future superstar, not someone who’s just had his contract cancelled.

 

[WickedWolfie]

I agree..... Except even if he accepted half of that then he'd be on £70k/week..... That's without even getting into reported attitude issues.

 

[Sedgley Canis Lupus]

Fullkrug.

Bless you !

 

[mroli74]

With the rumour that Podence might go to Celtic - I saw that there was a thought that Jota might have to go out on loan from his Saudi club... Worth us taking him for a year? Maybe we could do a deal on wages (they're not struggling for cash) and we could be a safe space to park him?

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Let Celtic have podence for 10m that surely should allow one signing

We haven't generated THAT much when you consider we also spent 61 million this window. After two years of fairly big losses, one window with a nice positive spend will help in the future.
