Summer Transfer Window 2022.

[Dan G WWFC]

I actually wouldn't be against Andre Gomes if Neves and Joao Moutinho leave. For depth, he's nice on the ball and can add something next to Joao Palhinha

 

[Northampton_wolf]

i dont know if you saw the spiers article, quoting bruno

Wolves reporter for The Athletic Tim Spiers, has given an insight on what supporters of the club can expect from the summer transfer window.

Writing in an article for The Athletic based on Lage’s impact and vision for the squad, Spiers confirmed that the publication had been told that Wolves want a younger and fresher squad for 2022-23, something Lage instigated in his time at Benfica.



That would scream to me, that they might not be established players we buy.

MGW obviously part of youth,

we have already culled ruddy,saiss,marcal.

What the ****? In games I have seen I think he has been awesome, in games you have seen you think he has been terrible

Truth is probably somewhere in between, but don’t patronise me.

Not intending to patronise you brother. Sorry if you felt hurt. Appreciate the feedback to a genuine question and banter though

I see that a few posters are getting a bit anxious regarding possibly missing out on Palhina.
But after studying him a few time this last season in the champions league to see what the fuss was about, I've got to say I can why he's still playing in the Portuguese league.
What I've seen is that he is slow, not very mobile, not creative, not very good in the air and weak in the tackle for a big guy and doesn't like to bust his gut. A good analogy would be a poor man's Dendonker with Donk being more mobile and a better passer too.
He is no where near being Neves quality and is the complete opposite of Mouts.
I just don't see how he's going to improve us. Putting Coady in front of the defense would offer us more than putting the Palhina I witnessed there.
I hope to god that if we end up buying him is that he's just had a few off games when I watched him and that he really is a good player in reality.
Would be good to hear of other views of him from other posters to put my mind at ease.

There's a good spec-savers in Wolverhampton.

Yeah, agreed. But for the wages he's on (£112k at Everton apparently), we can make do with better value options.

 

[The Wolf Of Wombourne]

Speaking to a Barca fan yesterday and he is adamant that after signing Kessie that they won't go for Neves as well.. In addition, out of the three "makeweights" or loan options that have been touted he reckons only Nico would hack it in the Prem.

He said he plays in a similar way to Yaya Toure in the way he plays as a box to box midfielder who carries the ball well.

I have no clue as I don't watch Barca but sounds good to me...

I love this Coleshill, gone are the days of 'speaking to a Portsmouth fan yesterday, and he reckons Jed Wallace would do a decent job for us'.

I realise I've added to the discussion here, it just amused me.

 

[Eastern Wolf]

Thanks for the advice...... I thought he couldn't have been that bad

Not hurt just don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t think

And I’m not your ‘brother’

Palhinha would be a tremendous signing. End of

The way yow described him,he wouldn't be good enough for Walsall.

 

[Eastern Wolf]

It's all relative. Every players has his level

 

[NothingButNeto]

Any rumors? Are we still announcing someone tomorrow?

@AndyWolves @Cornwall Wolf

 

[WolfLing]

Quite interesting that Gattuso (a Mendes man) has just got the Valencia job.

I think we might see quite a few movements between our clubs this summer.

Maxi Gomez and Guedes to us with Podence going the other way maybe?

 

[Chris H]

Yep. Was a bit surprised at that. No Moutinho or Podence though.

Podence is part of the shoot for the kids kits which is being released separately!

 

[Cornwall Wolf]

@AndyWolves @Cornwall Wolf

Not as far as I know nothing tomorrow .. or next week

Seems you really like him. I get it.

WOW, that would be some fine negotiating if we pulled that off

Que a meltdown

I doubted anything would happen until after the internationals etc tbf

Think Lage was a bit over optimistic to expect all deals to be done before preseason

I can’t remember the interview at the time, did he say “like” or “expect”? I imagine all managers would like transfers done by pre season but that’s pretty rare.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Yeah, agreed. But for the wages he's on (£112k at Everton apparently), we can make do with better value options.

It's why I think Everton will want him gone. Probably will take him for nothing, pay a couple million sign on few to make up for loss of. Earnings and give him 40/50k a week.

I don't want to see a midfield of Donk and Palhinha either are good enough on the ball.

 

[WolfLing]

Ha, I wasn't suggesting a 2 players for half a player swap deal!

 

[Joshwolf218]

I’m guessing it was “like” but I guess it hinges on who need to be replaced from outside the club etc

Would be good but I've seen Roma are interested in Guedes as well.

Another club managed by a Mendes man!!

It will make the Jonestown massacre look like a Sunday school picnic.

It was, wasn’t it. Just with added Kool Aid

How they're allowed to conduct transfer business is a joke.

Except when it falls victim to a typo.

I had a similar thought... In the spirit of the errors around Jeremy Hunt's name!

 

[lobodelsur]

Watch him versus Ajax where Sporting lost 5-1 and I hope youll see what I mean.

If you watch the highlights its very clear that Ajax targetted Ruben Vinagre at left back - 4 of their 5 goals came down that flank. You can hardly blame Pahlina for that.

This is what I don't get their debts are mental but still looking to bring big players in and refusing to sell anyone who they could get decent money for... Arrogance or incompetence I'm not sure but seems mad to me ..

Sporting must feel that’s £10m well spent for half of him

Yet folk on here suggest that Jeff and the guys don't have a clue when it comes to transfers.....

What's more of a joke is that they allowed Messi to run his contract down instead of selling him, how much of that would have wiped off their debts?

You are rather assuming that Messi wanted to go....

In reality other clubs should be dictating transfer terms to Barcelona, but doubtless they'll still be trading on the 'wim a big club' (in Catalan) line....

Quick Jeff, there's a deal to be done here, sod quibbling for Nico, we should just make them an offer to become our academy/feeder club

Interesting that you've seen a bit of him, I had exactly the same view of him as you but I'd only seen him in one and a half games.....I was hoping he was better than I initially thought. Everyone else seems to think he's top drawer so hopefully he's a good signing (if he comes)

 

[TheConcourse]

I wouldn’t be going anywhere near Barcelona for any player at the moment tbh. They’re going to be grossly overvalued. We shouldn’t be paying brand Barca prices.

Feels that way with most ‘big clubs’ in the major European leagues.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Podence probably broken and in portugal

Podence is still off his barnet in DC10
