Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Eastyorksyeltz]

It is though, if you are in football to make money, then you're in the wrong business.

Unless you are a player or player's agent of course.

 

[The Clock]

Is the honourable thing walking away with a big fat pay off?

No , I would have thought just a pay off would suffice. If Lop wanted a big fat pay off he would have stuck it out until Xmas

Unless of course he was lining up another pay on and a potential bigger pay off in that same period?

An article I read some time ago stated that Jlo and his staff were being paid about three times the average salary gor our level of management. It sounded plausible. We dont know what the package was but it looks like he wanted out and now not later.
If normal though most pay offs will be conditional on the leaving manager getting a certain amount and could depend on how much he being paid by his new club.
I dont think we need to fear he will be sleeping homeless.

Forest signing Hudson odoi, they’ve made some great signings lately

Johnson replacement I’m guessing

Johnson been mentioned with going to Chelsea for a few weeks....

[Fen Wolf]

That's a fair comment, but why should we be selling ? Collins for example. Barely made a profit on him, why sell?

Not every deal is about money. Maybe the player was unhappy and wanted to leave.

 

[JohnB]

I like McAtee the most. Knows where the goal is, has great technique, strong on progressive carries, intelligent and versatile. He has been working on his upper body strength over the summer, and after struggling initially on loan last season, he came into his own for Sheffield United after Christmas in particular.

Although Blades fans seemed to prefer Voldemort over Mcatee…..he who cannot be named…

Fair play, that would be a fantastic signing for them on the back of Matt Turner, Andrey Santos and Montiel. Also rumoured to be for Sangare at PSV.

For all the mocking we did about how many players they have, that seemingly scattergun approach last season kept them up, and they finished very close to us.

We absolutely do need to strengthen if we’re going to finish above them and others this year.

 

[Timberwolf]

Just watc

Wasn't it the club that chased JL?
If he's such a nightmare as @Stourport wolf has told us on such boring repeat, then due diligence by the club should have ruled him out,so whichever way you wish to slice it, down to the Muppets running the club.

Oh that’s right…if Fosun turn left: Muppets, turn right: muppets, sell players: muppets, buy players: muppets, keep a manager: muppets, sack a manager: muppets, hire a manager: muppets…
I’m going to stick my neck out here and maybe suggest there’s some confirmation bias going on. Whadya thunk?

& For all their however many signings they made last summer with that scattergun approach, they managed to stumble upon Awoniyi, who I genuinely believe is a quality #9. I thought it was quite odd how he barely played for them last season...

 

[Darvo]

Johnson been mentioned with going to Chelsea for a few weeks....

Short term contract?

 

[surreywolf]

Do players still go on loan for a month? Or am I going senile and that was never a thing

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Johnson been mentioned with going to Chelsea for a few weeks....

Rehab?

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Words honestly fail me that we cannot even muster up a couple of loan signings to strengthen this squad. WTF is going on?

I can’t even say we’re Sleep walking to relegation…..because we’re wide awake and marching towards relegation

Even Forest fans will be singing Mind The Gap

Embarrassing Wolves……FFS wake up.

 

[Starsky]

We all know about the finances, but I'd imagine that getting players to buy into the project(whatever the **** it has become) is not easy either.

Maybe that's why it's happening late after all their other options are done.

 

[Immigration wolf]

The absolute worst thing that can happen to any Fosun plan involving us must still be us getting relegated.
They are really toying with fire here..Guo and Jeff.

It seems to me that Fosun are banking on there being 3 worse clubs in the division this season

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Can I ask why they are clueless ?

They haven't signed Sevilla bus bloke yet.

 

[MotorWoden]

It definitely used to be a thing. I don't think it's a thing anymore though. I am not sure when it stopped being a thing or why.

They had a bid rejected earlier this week

It was yes, and I assume they believed he was worth it because he’s a good coach which he proved to be. I personally feel he felt he was better than Wolves and whilst it seems the goalposts were moved I get the feeling he was happy for the out.

There seems to be some divide where by you either have to be fully behind the club or fully behind Lopetegui, in my opinion I blame both to varying degreees. I’m disappointed Lopetegui’s gone but because he seemingly didn’t want to be here as much as because the club ****ed him over.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

2nd bid some time tonight into Saturday

 

[MattH]

Any idea on players coming the other way?

 

[so-called fan]

It definitely used to be a thing. I don't think it's a thing anymore though. I am not sure when it stopped being a thing or why.

I think it's because they now insist that players can only change clubs during a window. It might still be possible to loan for a month but you would have to take the player in pre-season and return by the end of the window. That's my guess anyway.

 

[Novawolf1]

I’ve believed for some time that it was likely maybe late season that Fosun in China moved the goalposts and however high level Jeff Shi might be, he’s just a highly paid executive. I’m still disappointed with JLo because he and his followers were handsomely paid (£9m annually?) and he’s had no second thoughts about taking a big pay off which may well have helped if spent on a player. I don’t suppose he could relate in any way to the angst we read here from passionate supporters UTW

So am I.

 

[Dingle Chris]

How is semedo about to hit 100 games for wolves.

**** me.

He’s probably been our most consistent defender for the last three years.

Do you mean good or bad?

I'm delighted to tell you that Scarborough Athletic have 19 year old 'combative midfielder' Curtis Durose on a month's loan from Rotherham. The lad duly found the onion bag in the 3-0 win over Banbury.

I believe you will find different rules for non league.

If true,as usual, we have the wrong guy when McAtee would be by far the better option. The more I think about it the more I am sure we should not sell at any less than £70m. A price which would hopefully frighten them off. Just think Jeff how much would relegation cost?Whatever money came in, only half at most would be used for team strengthening, the rest would be spent on relative dross.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Got to hand some Kudos to West Ham for their transfer activity?

From what I have heard about Doyle he would be the least of the players mentioned in a swap. Too defensive?

Doyle is right footed and can play defensive and attacking midfield, so I can see the sense to be fair.

Man City scouting report as Doyle 'complete' and McAtee 'bright'

Manchester City pair James McAtee and Tommy Doyle are on loan at Sheffield United with mixed form at Bramall Lane.
