Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Supadavewolf]

Express & Star saying £47m and £5m in add-ons, but we get Doyle for £5m.

... and a lot of people are adding a relatively cheap Bueno into the equation.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Hobbs is doing as much as he can to bring in deals get money we can do etc.

Doyle on loan with option so no real cost right now

 

[Achilles Last Stand]

So, there seems to be a method to our madness after all. Gonzalez, Bueno and Doyle is most likely a pretty good outcome in the end, and although they are unknown quantities at the moment, we have to trust Hobbs& co now. They have made quite decent signings this year.
Maybe we could do with a seasoned professional at left back, as both RAN and Hugo are still fairly wet behind their ears...?

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Firstly thanks to everyone for your condolences yesterday! It means a lot.

On the transfer front, Looks like we've getting a massive discount on Doyle and Beuno with the Nunes deal!!

Listen to Tim Vickery talk about the south Americans

Beuno, he says is a solid player. Typical Uruguayan defender.

Enso Gonzalez, talent boy but doubts he'll make an impact this year (as you'd expect from an 18 year old)

If we don’t get a mobile midfielder to replace Nunes that can advance the ball in a dynamic way, I fear we will be watching the same pedestrian football as the last two seasons

Cunha actually kinda does this.

[WalsallWolf]

Please tell me Diarra is a centre forward?

Matches what Iv been told, such a fantastic prospect. Let’s hope we can get his other midfield partner and flog Lemina to Liverpool for 25m

Diarra plays as a ball carrying cm btw

And looks pretty good at it, could be a really good player if he settles into the prem

View from a Strasbourg fan

"Shame Wolves who put so much money in a youngster with only 6 months in pro, the ugly pigeons."

Now I know google translate can be iffy, but Pigeons ?

That’s the French for ya. He is very young and raw I wouldn’t expect too much from him yet. His midfield partner is meant to be the better player who flashes of brilliance

Maybe we’re sticking with the Lopetegui plan of a team full of central midfielders….

Diarra's stats compared to other CM's in the top 5 leagues for the last year.

Thats alot of green

It's also, interestingly, a similar profile to Nunes but better at assisting and scoring. Take it with a pinch of salt because of worse league, of course

B. Troare had stats like that and he's not good enough yet to start in the PL.

He might get there, but we really need someone at the level now in my opinion.

This is Traore's in 21/22 prior to signing for us

Don’t let a balanced argument stand in the way mate.

Nice find.

FBRef is an incredible site for this sort of stuff, especially for recent years. Very very easy to find stuff you need

 

[Golden_Wolf]

i actually disagree. we have Silva, signed for £35m, and now getting a chance.
We have Sasa, signed for £15m and now getting fit.
We then have Cunha.

we play generally one up top so would stick with those unless we identified a real talent that was attainable.

Hwang too. If we sign another wide player, move Hwang into the mix with the strikers..if we sign someone like Iheancho then Hwang can compete with the wide players.

22 mill euro plus 3 mill add ons submitted

They will probably take it not exactly flush with cash the French league

SO

Habib Diarra, Tommy Doyle, Enso Gonzalez, Santiago Bueno

ALL EXPECTED TO BE WOLVES PLAYERS SOON!!??

Wow can’t wait to see what tomorrow is going to bring for a new striker lol

With you. Striker would be nice but not going to be priority given we have £100m in the side with Sasa, Cunha and Silva plus Hwang as back-up. Wide areas worth me more depending on the formation and style we are planning.

Interesting to see what happens with that one

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Well that epitaph I'd drafted and was all prepared for closure of this thread Friday night has just been screwed up and put in the bin. Like a really good film that has the ending hidden in plain sight all the way through, the final twist in the tale is well and truly kicking in....

Interesting comment from a Strasbourgfan at the bottom of that article…translates as:

At this price, it would be unreasonable for Keller to refuse... Hoping to keep Bellegarde suddenly... Personally, I prefer the latter... Incredible prizes for players who have not proven anything! Just shone during a few games, and not all..

 

[busbcadd]

Majority of this money might be going on Diarra and Bellegarde according to their forums

15m for Bellegarde
25m for Diarra

Reading the Strasbourg forums, they are happy selling 19yo Diarra at €25m as he has shown a lot of potential, but would be gutted to lose Bellegarde as he had been the heart of their team for the last 2 years. Bellegarde is out of contract next summer.
Sounds to me like Bellegarde would be first team ready for us, but Diarra would be another Enso/Chiquinho signing.

Again though.. he is young, would be quite incredible for them to shine every week at that age.

I do like these potential signings, but only Bueno seems first team ready

May explain the French leak?

Assuming that’s different to a Welsh leek?

I dont disagree, but I cant help wondering if we can afford to have a midfield made up of so much young potential. Bar Lemina there isnt much experience there

 

[stever]

People ****ting themselves on here about signings and a couple are coming in now. Ha

 

[Stafford]

are we heading nearer to a 4-3-1-2 formation with Nunes replaced by 2 centre mids? we barely have any wide players left.

4/6

We always move at the end of the window. People moan and slag us off because villa spent big early. Can’t keep comparing ourselves to them. They are the 1982 champions lmao

 

[Stafford]

whats the difference between bellgarde and diarra, arent they both CM's from the same club?

which one do we want?

Sarabia, Neto?

I find it more amusing that there are those now who are getting mega excited about said deals, when in reality, we know next to **** all about any of the incomings!
