Summer transfer window - 2021 Deadline Day passed...

[rg4352]

Suggests we could have a cheaper alternative lined up if we fail to get in one of Botman/Caleta-Car.

This guy should be available for around £10m

What’s he like? Would he be a good fit?

Kounde to Chelsea only a matter of time now

He will be linked to Tottenham this afternoon then now. Everyone we seem to be linked to so are spurs, if they ain't buying all of our team they are ahead of us in transfers... albeit according to the media.

 

[WickedWolfie]

I apologise to the few Clayheads that are on here (I know lots of stokeys in reality) but if stoke can attract prime Shaqiri there then Wolverhampton has nothing to worry about

Probably lived in Cheshire...

Formed a good partnership with Andersen at Fulham last season and their fans rate him highly. Of course they got relegated, but that's not to say he's a bad player. Only 23 as well

Thanks, sounds like a decent option if Botman and Car fall through

Fulham would want a lot more than that.

 

[Stoichkov]

Manchester is hardly glamourous compared to Milan, Barcelona....

have you been to milan or barcelona? i've spent a lot of time in both and they're really not that great. Even the central tourist bits are okay-ish but nothing like Paris, Madrid, Rome or Florence, or even parts of London

i think people just assume because they're big / famous cities that they're beautiful

I would say the urban regeneration, high-end retail / hotels and most plush suburbs of Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and maybe even Leeds mean these are attractive cities to european players. We're always going to lose out in comparison of course

 

[lobodelsur]

And all through the wound down window of his motor.

Can't believe 'Arry couldn't afford electric windows in his motor. Cheapskate.

Really?! I've not been to Milan but Barcelona is a fantastic city. Easily one of my favourite in the world.

 

[Flaneur]

Fulham would want a lot more than that.

He had a release clause of £10m earlier in the summer that expired apparently, so I reckon at a push it'd take £15m max. Especially if he's being sounded out as an alternative to someone like Caleta-Car whose available for £17m

So Botman to Sevilla should follow. I was impressed by Caleta-Car in the Euros, so would be happy with him.

He dies have a buy out clause of £10m .. would be excellent signing

Why don't Everton's owners just spend more money? Just as bad as Fosun

While i agree FFP may be more of an issue than some of us think, Everton have spent absolutely loads more than us and pay absolutely huge wages, so if there is a club where FFP should be an issue it should be Man City and Everton.

 

[Hot Fuss]

Michael Gilkes?

Gilkes was the season before. Signed with a couple of minutes to spare before the deadline. I remember a photo of him with a clock at 4.57 on the back of the express and star. Simpler times.

 

[GavW]

He dies have a buy out clause of £10m .. would be excellent signing

Says in the article mate that expired earlier in the summer

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Jeff cut the projects throat, and while it was on the floor dying, he ground his heel in its face and after it had died he spit on its grave.

It's always the quiet ones.

Did I really just spend my lunch hour reading through 8 pages just to discover we haven't signed anyone? I never learn.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Had to man-mark Gilkes after he moved to Slough Town. Gave me the absolute run-around.

Anyway…would be pleased with Tosin. 6 foot 5, very quick and decent on the ball. Was really good for the **** and Blackburn on loan and helped tighten Fulham’s defence up after their awful start last year.

 

[OLDGOLD]

You are not thinking uncle Jorge may be alternating phone calls with Jeff and Nuno...? Surely not.

 

[WickedWolfie]

They may value Neves at 30m but I'm certain we don't!

Indeed. Nor do we want their unfit wage bill issue dumped on us as a makeweight.

 

[JadeWolf]

Not a rumour but I’d like us to have another go at getting Vitinha back. I know he didn’t play a massive amount last season but he’s one I think could do so well playing Brunoball.

 

[forge]

Sven botman when

 

[WickedWolfie]

He’s injured anyway.

Aaron Ramsey: Juventus midfielder a doubt for Wales' World Cup qualifiers after suffering thigh injury

Aaron Ramsey was selected by Rob Page for his countrys upcoming triple-header but Juventus have said the midfielder sustained a thigh injury in their 2-2 draw with Udinese; Wales play Finland, Belarus and Estonia over the international break with all three games live on Sky Sports

www.skysports.com

Never! That's unheard of.....

 

[Stoichkov]

Really?! I've not been to Milan but Barcelona is a fantastic city. Easily one of my favourite in the world.

where? the port is fairly industrial? Las Ramblas? i think it's okay, the squares off it are pretty good but otherwise it's not overly pretty. Bit of a dump around the Nou Camp. I'd just say it's very european, lots of apartment blocks and broad streets. Could be any major european city

Milan is okay but again, fairly austere

Florence or San Sebastian knock both into a ****ed hat

PS for mods - I hope my football team signs a footballer soon

 

[Oliwolf44]

Seeing a lot more noise in regards Neves on Twitter, with Juventus clearly wanting him and Mctominay now out after surgery with Utd means they will be after a midfielder as more of a priority.
Lets hope it just stays as noise.

Not a bad plan C.

 

[Stoichkov]

Some Italian journo on twitter with lots of followers saying Mendes aiming to trade Neves for Ramsey as part of Juve talks on Ronaldo today

 

[JOSWolf]

Would be nice to get a signing through the door soon seeing as Bruno wants 3 or 4 in.

 

[forge]

Aww man I guess no botman then Sevilla will get him after the Chelsea deal is confirmed

It’s all from juve’s side. They want that deal we’ve not offered it. It only benefits them imo. They get a dusted baller on huge wages off their books in return for a young player valued at over 50 million. No way it happens

I mean their net spend is huge and they pay huge wages and it’s premier league fair play they would be in breach of not UEFA Fair play.

They have already sold the naming rights to a stadium that hasn’t be built yet.

For context they’ve lost 265 million over the last 3 years so not really a good comparison to us to be honest.

Juve were just as keen as Real and Barca on the ESL for a reason.... Their finances are precious little better.

 

[Ernie the Wolf]

The Ramsey link isn’t going away.

What a joke!!

You want to go in on the train and see the outskirts. The city, montjuic and the Gaudi stuff is amazing....but the rest is pretty dodgy.
Huge immigration to those areas and lots of crime.

 

[Deleted member 9202LYK]

Yes. This is a real shame - Botman is exactly the sort of deal we should be looking at (as opposed to these stupid Ramsey things).

Even the players in London don't live in London, they live out in the home counties and the nicer surrounding areas, e.g. Chelsea players in and around Cobham.

That's the same in any city though. London is an amazing city but it's got lots of areas you wouldn't go. Barcelona has everything you could want from a city (imo), the beach, culture, architecture, great restaurants and bars, sport etc. I love it there.

But that's the point he's making, like someone playing for Palace isn't exactly having a tour of Thornton Heath, same as Soucek wasn't having a stroll through Newham, players will be housed and placed in the most luxury parts that are within a reasonable distance of the training ground, which are usually luxury areas.

 

[Tufts back]

Batman surely....

Could also do scatman

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

30 million for Zouma seems steep. I know he's a good CB but there is such a premium on lower end players from bigger clubs!
