Summer transfer window - 2021 Deadline Day passed...

[Andy]

Pretty disappointing so far, but on the other hand I’m confident we’ll keep hold of Adama.

The Chinese HATE losing pace.

 

[lobodelsur]

Well if that is the case, and he's injured, and so anyone else is unlikely to buy him at the moment it begs the question why, with just 9 hours to go, the deal wasn't agreed in principle a couple of weeks ago

Errrrrmm....because Lille put a higher valuation on him than is reasonable under the circumstances ....?

 

[Chris H]

Seems more off than on at the moment.

Who knows! Part of me will be glad when the window is closed, no matter what business we do!

 

[sc91]

Thank the lord for that...

It was that Newcastle are no longer linked with him whilst Romano said he is with us.

fml.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Just seen Hamza Choudhury linked on Romano’s twitch stream?

Oh no.

 

[sc91]

It's understood that Lille want between £40/£50m on the buy option for Renato Sanches. Wolves don't want to pay that kind of money.

For a player like Sanches i dont see what is wrong with a 40m option, it just seems we dont have the cash, 35m for silva, 30mish for semedo surely sanches is worth the loan and 40m option?

Penny pinching at the finest, 40m for a player of his quality is not unreasonable.

 

[Oliwolf44]

Dont think MGW was really a fit for Bruno's 2 man midfield system as hes certainly more of a ten. Will hopefully get lots of minutes in the champ.

We have left our business late in order to use the deadline as a negotiation tactic. Problem is if they call your bluff or get frustrated your the ones left carrying the can.

We now only have Mouts, Neves & Donk in midfield! that aint enough for me and an injury away from real trouble!

The question will be who do you believe? We get nothing out the club and so its all guesswork. If we sign nobody the battle lines will be "clubs upped their price to unrealistic demands and so wolves correctly didnt overspend" VS "We should of done deals earlier and were penny pinching at the end and did Fosun even try and invest anyway?"

 

[Rhoswolf]

Like going to buy a new Rolls Royce and coming out with a Ford Scorpio

More like a reliant robin with no engine, absolutely dreadful player.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Are his qualities based on his Euro performances alone?

I’d rather abu hamza

And wasn’t it Bruno who said Mouts, Neves and Donk are similar players?

 

[maws]

Keeping my powder dry, still think we will be ok at the end of the day

 

[Bob Wolf]

If Lille’s price is £45/50 m at end of season do you think the club should go for it?

Yes I think so. 45 For the player seen at the euros and still to enter his prime years.

 

[SakosRightFoot]

Because he’d only have a year left on his current deal next summer so wouldn’t be worth £40million then. You have to bear in mind we’re probably paying a decent loan fee so that 40 figure just seems unrealistic in the current climate.

 

[Chris H]

I’d rather abu hamza

Terrorises the opposition to be fair!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Exactly what he is worth as a minimum

****ing pathetic. It’s only an option!’n

 

[sc91]

I'd say that being an intregral part of an unfancied Lille side winning Ligue 1 isn't much of a stretch.

 

[sc91]

What 'current climate', the Premier League was barely changed financially.

 

[Hixon Wolf]

I’d rather abu hamza

He'd be good at hooking it around the keeper!

 

[Metal Wolf89]

So unless we pay what the selling club want, no Botman, no car and no Sanchez...so we move onto the back up list of players..

 

[BucksWolf8]

But the 40m figure reflects that fact you had him a year earlier when he had 2 years on his contract. In effect you're just delaying the payment a year if you take the option. 40m sounds about right to me tbh.

It seems the so called back up players (rumored) are worse than what we already have so may as well just set the money on fire.

 

[Moira Stewart]

Depends if it is a buy option or obligation.

 

[MolineuxMixer]

I’d rather abu hamza

He's got a good eye for the ball!

 

[SakosRightFoot]

Nah it has been, spending is down overall, only 6 teams have a net spend over £50mill, the rest are all under £30mill and the combined losses for the last year or so are pretty scary. Lots of teams have seen players values drop from the previous covid times across Europe.

 

[Stourwolf]

I bet Bruno will be delighted adding a Leicester reserve to the squad.
What a shambles !!!!!

 

[Derbywolf85]

Where was that said?

literally nowhere I can find, other than a page called The Wolfpack on Twitter, which I have blocked.

I only block people on Twitter who are absolute *********.

 

[Ponty]

Choudray would have been a reasonable squad filler, much like when you’re travelling and need fast food and a Big Mac does a job. In this case we’ve had a table booked at a fancy restaurant for months and the specials board has Waigu fillet steak but we only want to pay the price of a cheap rump steak which the restaurant doesn’t have so we’re just nipping round to McDonald’s again.

I’ve long argued on here that given financial status of many clubs there would be bargains to be had today and waiting made sense. I’m not off to the local Co-op to buy Pampers just yet but shall be checking the closing time shortly. Just hope we aren’t taught a lesson that whilst bargains are available, the kind of players that would improve us are still going to cost serious money.

Exactly
It’s like Wolves have ordered Sanches off wish and ****ing Choudry turns up ffs

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Injury history and 1 year left on deal last year. Option not obligation.

I see it the same way, and really reckon he could do great things within our current team and management set up.

My only doubt re price would be the risk regarding his fitness - with his injury history being a bit Tony Daley-esque.

 

[wolfgar]

Can't wait for the 2 signings to be Hamza Choudhury and Tosin Adarabioyo

Bit of a comedown from Sanches/Botman

Agreed. Just because there's a bargain available doesn't mean it's cheap. And something that is cheap is not necessarily a bargain.

Surely they could of found that out months ago, I wonder if we know who his agent is

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Surely if we want to progress to the next stage we have to start paying the money for the more advanced players?
Thought that’s how it worked.

If we simply aren't going to pay for Sanches & Botman, then we don’t deserve them. Fosun can not complain then if we finish in a similar position as last time.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Anyone suggesting 50M obligation for Sanches has absolutely lost it. He completed 14 games worth of minutes in league last year so let's be honest he wasn't absolutely integral to league win either. They also has a brilliant record with him out.

I think he is a top player but people need to stop exaggerating

 

[Deleted member yltz11841]

Injury history and 1 year left on deal last year. Option not obligation.

Same as we didn’t pay Ait-Nouri’s rumored release fee, we could re negotiate at the end of next season.
