Summer 2024 transfer window thread.

[Rubberball]

I think Adams on a free would be great business. He can play anywhere across our front three. Versatile backup that frees up more funds to go for more of a marquee signing striker.

Think you might be disappointed with that. I don't think we're signing any marque players for the foreseeable. It's not the model.

Personally, I'd be happy with Adams as back up to somebody like Fofana on loan or En Nesyri for around €18m.

That seems to be the model the club and Hobbs want to work to.

Totally agree
We cant spend the £30 - £40 mil on players like we used to,not until the big losses are off the books in 2 years time
Its galling i know but its just fact
My guess is we trade for frees and a few £10-£15mil players even if we sell one of our stars,maybe a couple of loan to buys if we can to swell the numbers,not ideal but its where we,and many more are at right now

When I say marquee, I’m thinking within the region of £15-20m, I think that’s the new version of marquee for us now!

 

[WKFWolf]

Adams would surprise a lot of people. Works hard, is a pressing forward and can chip in with goals as well. For a free transfer it's a no brainer for me and will offset the money we will effectively lose on Sasa

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Major upgrade if true

Wolves are monitoring Athletico Paranaense goalkeeper Bento after his impressive display during Brazil’s 1-0 win over England

A deal is likely to cost around £15m for the Brazilian international

@GraemeBailey

 

[Burford T Justice]

What’s amusing is him saying let me go to wolves for free has led to people to claiming we can get him for free
Like they’d let a 20m asset go for nothing, or that we still wanted him after that.

He also never said let me go to wolves for free in the way it's been quoted. He said let him go on the loan without loan fee and obligation to buy

I think Sa is under rated on here. He’s far from perfect distribution wise but he makes big saves. His performance against Cov prevented us from being utterly humiliated.

Depends if we want to stand still or progress

 

[wwbug]

This summer gives us a chance to rebalance , refresh and flesh out this squad. And make it GON's
I am pretty sure we will have enough money to spend next year after the sale of Neto. We may sell Kilman and RAN leaving us a large amount to build a team within FFP for the foreseeable future. Pace at the back and a centre forward will be key.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Duly noted, cheers. Brought it up in a casual way before, as in "I had him on FM and he was good" sort of thing and I was OK! Of course using a player on a video game doesn't mean I am able to predict how he would do for us on real life, there are people that think that and I believe they're just a bit too immersed in the game!

Can Pacman play Centre Forward?

@GraemeBailey

Was it impressive? he hardly had a save to make the entire match and looked a bit dodgy on crosses I felt.

How can ya say that after 1 game at Wembley...

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I suppose it all comes down to money?

If we can sell Sa for a decent profit and get this guy for less the cycle continues

The more Brazilian players the better??

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

I must admit that I did think at the time... '24 yr old, Brazilian international, plays in Brazil so bargain, I bet we get linked with him'.

Yes mentioned him on the day as one to watch and earlier in the thread.....for me we need to blood a decent number 2 and let him bed in for a season as such before we cast aside Sa.....nowt wrong with Sa been a decent keeper for us, and how we can judge someone to be better when we didn't nw his name a week ago ..he was making his debut for Brazil and England hardly had any touches in the box.....I hope our scouting will be a bit more in depth....

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I don't mind shopping in Brazil and having a team of Brazilians

 

[WKFWolf]

As long as it's not Alan I agree

 

[Dingle Chris]

Sell Neto, Hwang and sarabia and bring in injury free forwards.

I wouldn’t be selling Sarabia. Neto looks like he may go and Hwang I can live with.

 

[The Weasel]

Love a good Brazilian

 

[arctic rime]

We would be in the semi-final if we had Adams v Coventry

 

[Longford Wolf]

We would be in the semi-final if we had Adams v Coventry

Not necessarily, who’s to say Adams would of scored the equaliser v Brentford

 

[Supadavewolf]

Not sure if this is relevant for this window but:

He'd just have to scowl at a forward rather than tackle him

Does Bento command the box ?

 

[waggys left foot]

Two factors which will influence transfer policy -whether we qualify for Europe and the new ffp rules which the prem have adopted for 24/25 onwards

We won’t qualify for Europe. I think it’s too much to expect with the injuries and poor squad depth

If Che Adams is the answer, what the **** is the question?

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

If Che Adams is the answer, what the **** is the question?

Who would Wolves want to sign as a squad player number 9 backup incase the worst happens and they are left with no number 9 at any point because that’s never happened before to them, has it?

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

If Che Adams is the answer, what the **** is the question?

Who are you expecting us to sign to fill the squad up?

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Who are you expecting us to sign to fill the squad up?

Rumour off ESPN Gaz off to Man Utd assistant manager? Signed a 3 year deal can’t see it happening.

 

[hollo]

If Che Adams is the answer, what the **** is the question?

Nathan Fraser or Che Adams as striker?

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

If Che Adams is the answer, what the **** is the question?

What signing would excite Wolves fan's the least this summer?

 

[WV10Wolf]

Who are you expecting us to sign to fill the squad up?

I’m not a scout in our recruitment department.

Che Adams could be paying us to play, and I still wouldn’t want him. We’ve a network of scouts around the globe and they best they can conjure up is Che ****ing Adams?

 

[WV10Wolf]

Yes, he’s going to sign to be third choice striker. I’d rather we signed better than what we have and everyone goes down a slot in the pecking order.

 

[Jawwfc]

At the moment with our Injuries Che Adams would be starting, Cunha isn't really used as an out and out striker.

I'd expect us to go for a first choice and someone of the Che Adams calibre.

Teams rarely have two first 11 strikers,

Villa have Dhuran and Morgan to cover Watkins.

Tottenham have had all sorts of dross to cover Kane.

Newcastle have an aging Wilson to cover Isaak.

Brentford have Maupay as back up for Toney.

If Adams is seen as a starter then I might agree with you.

But you ain’t finding a better value for money back up striker than Adams who has experience in PL.

I’d rather him than risk £15m on someone from abroad or a Championship player who might not make the step up.

If the money we save on Adams goes towards a much better first choice striker then great.

Not afraid to enter the Frey

This shows how far we have come as a club really. A reminder to be grateful

 

[WISAW]

Someone mentioned Fofana as a.striker to go for in the summer. Please tell.me its a different one and not the chelsea loanee to Leicester? That guy looked like an absolute donkey the last match I seen him play.

 

[hollo]

Burnley one?
