Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

We're still desperate for pace and creativity.

God, reading what they put about Palhinha is depressing. What could have been eh?

Had we sold Ruben last summer he would have signed for us.

 

[Minimalist]

Would it have been though? Can't imagine he would have supplanted Neves in the starting XI so doubt he would have had the same impact for us as he has for Fulham. Would you rather have had Palhinha last year or one more year of Neves?

Quite a few of us do not except the assertion that they couldn’t play together.

 

[StourWolves]

Would be very happy with Reed if he comes in, improves the squad and he's a better player than both Hodge and Boubacar currently. If we get Reed over the line it could allow hodge to go out on loan which would benefit his development.

TBH I would have rather had Neves partnered by Palhinha and the rest of the Nunes money spent on an attacking mid to sit in front of them.

 

[Oliwolf44]

Would certainly rather have harrison reed than alex iwobi lol

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Ha, beat me to it.

Great minds SAinho

 

[Yduti]

Reed is not the last signing

 

[Dan W]

With 5 subs, if O'Neil wants us to be more aggressive we need numbers. This style of play isn't possible over a season with a small squad. Against Everton Lemina & Gomes both played the 90. Both looked exhausted.

Reed & Doyle will be good additions to our squad. Allows more tactical fluidity. Allows the potential move to a 433.
I'd like a ball carrying midfielder and a ST.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Reed Deal is getting finalised in the next hours

Are you doing the negotiations?

 

[JayStringer]

This this and this. They would have been a great partnership. I imagine a world where, instead of spending 40+ on Nunes and 27 on Guedes, we had spent 15 on Palhinha, 5 on Dawson, 1 on Lemina (as Liam Keen has said we could have) and then 15 on an attacking player. The January splurge wouldn't have been needed.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Reed is not the last signing

Don’t tease me

 

[JadeWolf]

Reed makes sense. I’ve got a feeling Lemina and Gomes are going to pick up a lot of bookings and suspensions.

 

[tonto]

Thought he was only £4 mil,what did we offer a bag of chips lol

Podence

 

[worc_wolf]

Need a striker

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Hi jeff

 

[JayStringer]

We started the summer wondering what Julen Lopetegui's Wolves were going to look like. In 24 hours we'll have a very good idea of what Matt Hobbs's Wolves looks like.

 

[JamesWolves]

We're still desperate for pace and creativity.

Hoping that will be Bellegarde but im not so optimistic now

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Last minute trolley dash!

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

Quite a few of us do not except the assertion that they couldn’t play together.

I'm one of them but I don't think they would have been picked to play together.

 

[Dan W]

Reed makes sense. I’ve got a feeling Lemina and Gomes are going to pick up a lot of bookings and suspensions.

Aswell as potential injuries, the ground they cover. They can't keep doing the full 90s. They need help.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

We're still desperate for pace and creativity.

We’ve got quite a bit of the former. Little of the latter.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Don’t tease me

You've got bad breath

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

So we have

Lemina, gomes, boubacor, Doyle, hodge (back in a few months)
Yet we want another midfielder

Only boubacor offers some drive from midfield there .

 

[Superted]

Well, we always complain that we have quiet ends to transfer windows.

Seems like that may not be the case this time.

Could be some fun on deadline day for a change.

 

[Yduti]

We are so lucky to have hobbs

 

[Hsvwolf]

Podence

Personally …. Hope there’s a way of reintegrating Podence back into the squad ……Top scorer last season and despite his antics one of the few ‘game changing ‘ players we have left ……. Apart from Neto , who won’t play a full season ( and praying Arteta doesn’t come in late for him )

 

[Wombourne Wolf]

Reed is not the last signing

Announce Tanganga....

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Reed is a solid player no doubt but we haven't really replaced Nunes. Not expecting him to be replaced like for like obviously but we're still lacking that player to drive forward with the ball and create

 

[brianm]

Apart from Neto , who won’t play a full season ( and praying Arteta doesn’t come in late for him )

Strikes me as very unlikely.

 

[Yduti]

Announce Tanganga....

I explained it yesterday the situation is different if that nunes money didn’t come we would not be signing these players

 

[Ned]

How many times did we hear people say they want a proper midfield snotter to do the dirty work?

Since we signed Gomes and Lemina? I reckon precisely zero times.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

What Iv just heard is Reed can leave Fulham if they find a replacement and are targeting Iwobi

Edit fulham closing on Iwobi

Reed permission to leave will be granted

 

[NothingButNeto]

We are so lucky to have hobbs

What do you know?!

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

What do you know?!

Hobbs, who is his son

 

[Ned]

If we do get Reed I wonder whether we will be looking for a more creative player in the wide areas. We've only really got Sarabia who looks like he can unlock a defence.

 

[hambaps]

We are so lucky to have hobbs

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Hearing we may bid for Alzate from Brighton
Just how many midfielders do we want?

 

[A wanderer from Bristol]

Reed Deal is getting finalised in the next hours

Are we still in for Bellegarde do you know?

 

[Woolywolf]

I honestly wonder what senior football execs see sometimes….if there’s one position we don’t need cover it’s DCM. We can all see we need a mobile dynamic midfielder ….so what’s the answer ….****** Harrison Reed
