Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Superted]

Can't see Man U letting AWB go as he seems rejuvenated.

It does seem an unlikely deal if we're being honest.

 

[binners]

Yes please

What’s his wages

 

[Cousins78]

Looking at ho other posts, seems to think it's Nunes for £65m, then we buy Doyle for £10m and loan in McAtee.

I think it's acceptable myself. Hopefully gives us the cash to buy a centre half too. (Elvedi)

Semedo Swap with AWB and it's probably as good as it'll get.

I would expect a striker on loan too

 

[Adrian_Monk]

What’s his wages

Who cares, he isn't Semedo!

 

[Flea]

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

Might be.
However,I wouldn´t trust Fosuns opinions here.
They know **** about football.

 

[wolfslair]

Whilst Utd at it. Do they want to swap Henderson and Sa?

Let’s not push our luck…..

 

[JayStringer]

I'd have concerns if it's a straight swap in value between AVB and Semedo, because as much as folk on here like to target Semedo he's a far better player than AWB. One of the reasons AWB looked 'good' against us in the opening game was because tactically we weren't worried about him, the game plan was to force United to pass the ball to him.

If it's a deal in which we get some money too, that can be reinvested, fine.

 

[Wolf316]

Are we so desperate to believe any tweet .. not happening.. even Man Utd are not that stupid

It’s just a tweet mate no need to be snotty about it.

AWB a better player IMO, would snap their hands off for a straight swap

 

[Skrilla]

If we were offered AWB for Semedo, it would have happened by now!

I think AWB is the better defender. If we plan to stick with a back 4 I’d be happy with a swap.

 

[goldeneyed]

Would AWB agree to come to us in our current state of confusion and decline? I doubt it somehow.

 

[JayStringer]

He really isn't. He's not a bad player. I'd have no concerns with having him in our team. But again, against us he was allowed time and space because there were far better and more dangerous players to focus on. Forcing those players out of the game while allowing AWB all the time and space he wanted -against Wolves- shows his level.

I have no problem if the merry-go-round ends up with AWB playing for us and Semedo playing for United, but a big problem if they are considered to be of equal value. We need cash plus AWB.

 

[JohnB]

End next week with…..

Nunes and Semedo gone (plus Podence)

AWB
Doyle
CB in

McAtee and Attacker in on loan.

That’ll do for me.

 

[WickedWolfie]

To replace Nunes I presume.

"Solutions are within.."

It sadly wouldn't surprise me

As much as it's a shame to lose Nunes and Semedo, IF Hobbs could pull something like this off, then it would be a decent result.

He created their goal.
He better defensively, better in the air and has a better sense of positional discipline. He hasn't got semedo's technique, but Semedo hasn't ever been able to maximise it anywhere and if I'm honest, I think AWB is a better threat going forward as an agent of chaos. Shots that could go anywhere are more threatening than ones aimed tamely towards the centre of the goal.
Plus AWB counts as home grown. I don't think it will happen in a month of sundays; but if anything man united should be asking for cash of us.

nunes will be gone, poss semedo. im not confident of any of those potential targets coming though

I think if that happens we have pulled ourselves out of the fire quite nicely

 

[Dan W]

I'm a big fan of Semedo, however swapping him at 29 for Wan Bissaka (25 & HG) is a no brainer.
Biggest problem is that swap deals aren't a thing anymore so interesting what the prices would be for both.

 

[goldeneyed]

If we are going to stay with a back four rather than back five then a more defensively minded Wan Bissaka makes sense. But if we are going to a 3 5 2 then Semedo is clearly the better attacking wing back. WB is also four years younger than Semedo. Semedo has a couple of years left on his contract WB only has another year as I understand it. So more to Man U's advantage if they have no intention of renewing his contract.

 

[MacTrizzle]

If that happens I’ll be chanting “one Jeff shi… there’s only one Jeff shi….”

 

[Matt]

I’d take AWB in a swap for Semedo. I don’t dislike Semedo or think he is a bad player, but he is prone to switching off and just hasn’t offered enough for us going forward. 4 assists and 2 goals in over 100 appearances.

 

[Direwolf]

People say Semedo is better going forward - no, not for me. Time and time again he checks back and passes the ball backwards. Docherty was miles better going forward and made things happen more than Semedo ever has. I think Semedo's strength is carrying the ball out of defence but he is disappointing when he gets in the final third.

I think most on here would make that deal, but I doubt it's true. Who are these 'sources at Old Trafford?'. His contract is up in 12 months. Could it be his agent trying to stir up interest?

I'd be happy to swap Semedo for AWB. Semedo is excellent at duels with traditional wide players but as soon as he's up against someone with any positional awareness , cutting inside etc he's done for. Same with Doc from what I remember. Semedo attacking outputs are pretty bad too so no great loss there.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

If that happens I’ll be chanting “one Jeff shi… there’s only one Jeff shi….”

Thankfully there is only one Shi. Who do you think has overseen this mess? If he did go the last thing I would like to see is him being replaced by a Shji clone.

 

[Wolf in Banbury]

AWB starting against Forrest today

 

[MotorWoden]

Let's face it, there is probably nothing in Semedo for Wan Bissaka, sadly

 

[LetTheBullLoose]

But if we are going to a 3 5 2 then Semedo is clearly the better attacking wing back. WB is also four years younger than Semedo.

I really don’t think Semedo is any good as an attacking wingback. At all. Stats would no doubt back that up too.

Consistent 10 goals a season man…..

For a side like Everton after today, he could be a massive signing for them, as if they had a striker we would have been battered!

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Nunes clearly needed to help break the press him and ran did that so well against unity we looked average first half without the both. If he does go Doyle replaces some aspects but not the carries hence we are looking at a Scott

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

One week it's Everton can't buy players because of ffp
Then they sign the youngster from sporting and beto

 

[floydstreet]

Hope many are still feeling relieved that we didn’t follow through and get Antonio from West Ham

 

[floydstreet]

One week it's Everton can't buy players because of ffp
Then they sign the youngster from sporting and beto

They are fine to spend now
Their issues are more outside the latest three year period

 

[JOSWolf]

Our attacking options starting to look light in wide areas in midfield if Hwang is out for any period of time and Nunes and Podence sold this coming week. Would need to sign at least one attacking midfield option next week or be left far too light.

 

[JOSWolf]

FFP farce continues with Everton signing Beto whilst out squad may get even weaker and no sign of any incomings.

 

[Hawkguy]

Our attacking options starting to look light in wide areas in midfield if Hwang is out for any period of time and Nunes and Podence sold this coming week. Would need to sign at least one attacking midfield option next week or be left far too light.

I mean many here didn't want Chiquinho loaned, so he'll be back in the fold.

 

[MikeH68]

Was about to post the same about Antino+ Bowen whom I suggested signing from Hull for his goals but more importantly assists. Was told on here by a few, he was not good enough as in championship. I’m not an expert (by a long shot) and don’t claim to be, but it would seem a fair few on here aren’t either.
