Summer Transfer Window 2022.

[Black Country Wanderer]

Probably more chance of him going there as there are other Ukranian players already there. Never under estimate the pull of other players from their own country in a squad. See us for evidence of that.

We have Kilman
Very much doubt theres any chance of him coming here though tbh

I read somewhere that he is really good mates with Kilman. When Ukraine thought they had a chance of Kilman playing for them Zinchenko got in contact and tried to encourage him and I think they are good friends now - Kilman speaks fluent Russian I believe.

Rúben Neves: prioridad absoluta para el Barça

Yep. This is where Mendes is our valuable asset. Happy to see Ruben go here. He deserves the chance.

That might work. Kilman does speak fluent Russian. His wages might be an obstacle though.

Yep sounds very much like hes Barca bound,just need Barca to get the cash moving,come on uncle Jorge

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Different types of player that could probably work quite well together as a 6+8. I read Wet Spam are interested in Zinchenko to play in midfield too

I notice it says Mendes has negotiated a substantial discount for Palhinha to us and hopes to get a similar one for Barcelona for Neves. I can see us getting a lot less for him or more likely another Fabio Silva who will be described as a future star and aren't we so lucky Uncle Jorge has got him for us. Barcelona cannot pay for Neves so a swap seems likely.

Apparently utd have bid 60 mil for de jong so that’s where the money will come from.

Plus how it usually works is they pay us over the length of the contract not all up front. But we can put 50 mil on the books for example

Yep the merry go round will be if de jong goes united, neves goes barcelona.

If de jong fell through united could then look at neves but that would be a lot later in the window

Said this a bit ago.....if mendes gets us guedes and palhinha for a reduced price, Ruben will probably go for a reduced fee.....no different if we get 100m for neves and pay 50m for palhinha and 50m for guedes...or 40m for neves and pay 20m n 20m.

But I thought that Neves was house hunting in Brewood and his Mrs got a job in a school?. Something seems off

I would like Nico as a further option in the Neves deal - I think the lad could be very good.

We could then get further funds by phoning Thelwell at Everton to say we’re willing to sell his best signing, Dendonker, and we’ll throw in Traore as a BOGOF offer that we can only make to Everton as we still like you Kevin. £45m for the pair.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

As much as id love Nunez to roll up here just cant see it
Hes genuine world class and Manchester clubs both interested,could be interesting few weeks ahead though

Agreed, no chance on Nunez. All the others i think there's a chance.

If this is true then I am starting to feel a bit more positive. I can see them doing a deal for Nico and a reduced fee, and its not out of the question we get Trincao and flip him to Sporting.

With Valencia in the financial mire I can also see a deal done for Guedes (and may be a make weight to two) - we could perhaps extract a pound of flesh. They may want £25m for Guedes, but we only give them the money if they throw in a promising younger or two. We need to increase the size of the squad, and our U23's are playing at a higher level.

I just think there will be a lot of wheeler dealing going on this window. I know Barcelona don't want to sell Nico, but you could see a buy back option, a high sell on fee, or other sweetener - at the end of the day if he is not trusted to play a major part then why not give him exposure in the Prem and potentially increase his value.

I think there are going to be some interesting developments as the window progresses.

 

[steve vena]

Is this Nunes lad any good then?

Within 30 mins I’m now dreaming of a midfield that has Moutinho, Palhinha, Nico, Nunes and Gibbs-White as options and nothing less will do.

Yet I really don’t have much of a clue about three of them tbh.

Are city not interested?

 

[lets all have a disco]

You have to feel a bit for Sporting.....they get the debt paid off yes ...and end up with Vinagre n trincao.....our pant wetters are bad enough, there's must be unbearable

 

[Wolf316]

Nico plus £40m for Neves then £20m for Palinha and £20m on Guedes. Lovely.

 

[WolfLing]

Is this Nunes lad any good then?

There's reasons why City are linked with him and why I'd be very surprised if we pulled this one off.

Cue the obligatory YouTube video.....

Strong, dynamic, skilful, and with a goal in him. Exactly the type of midfielder we've been crying out for in my opinion.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Record in Portugal reporting that Fulham preparing same offer as us for Palhinha.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

I really don't see how this gets resolved quickly for us.

It seems we are totally reliant on Neves leaving but how are Barcelona going to pay? Perhaps the only way is selling De Jong but do you sell him for £70-80m and buy Neves for £50m? Doesn't seem great business.

Either way, it's going to be a long drawn out process as we're waiting on big deals to go through before we do anything (it seems).

In the meantime, you just allow things to go wrong. They need to sort these deals quickly even if they have to spend before the money actually comes in.

 

[cannockwolves]

There is very little chance that Nunes is coming here, but could you imaging a team like this


-----------Sa
Semedo - New - Kilman - Ran
----Palhinha - González
--------Nunes
Neto --- Guedes --- MGW

To me that looks a very attacking and extremely exiting team. Now I think getting Nunes is next to impossible, but with a bit of wheeler dealing I think Nico González, Palhinha, and Guedes are extremely possible if Neves gets sold to Baca or United come in with a sensible offer.

I think under normal circumstances, yes, time dragging on could potentially jeopardise any deals.

But when Mendes is involved and he has a plan of how he wants things to pan-out, they generally happen that way.

For example, Fulham matching our bid for Palhinha might feel threatening in any other scenario. But it just doesn't.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Come on Jorge, you can do it!

Barcelona aren’t broke. They’re hamstrung by the league’s wage cap so even if we gave Neves to them for a packet of peanuts they would still struggle to sign him without offloading players. That’s why they’re offering us their entire subs bench to cover the wages.

It's why they are getting so close to Mendes. Trying to offload what they can.

Trincao to Sporting saves them €140k per week.

If they offload De Jong, Depay, Braithwaite, Lenglet and Dest too, that's about €1m a week in wages saved!!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

So this “done deal” is yet to be announced!

SURELY we have to buy players before neves leaves . Realistically we won’t get the price we want for him until later in the window

Suprised more teams aren’t in for him

I hope you're right. I think Fulham will pay more than us and the location helps them.

Also, if it's going to happen, why can't we get him in as quick as possible knowing Neves will eventually leave?

Again, I hope you're right and understand your point but I have doubts about our finances and ultimately money trumps all.

Depends entirely on player preference and who’s chosen to represent the club.

We all know Big Jeff likes to get his hands dirty and Mendes has the wrist strength from handling all that money, but I wouldn’t rule out Doris the tea lady. Proper dark horse.

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Spiers: "The Palhinha noise is incessant but I always think of Talisca at times like these. They like him a lot and may end up signing him but it's certainly not as close as has been suggested."

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

There’s stormed the training ground a few years ago

True, Rui came here more or less in flight from them I think!

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Surely we can fund... palhinha, David carmo , guedes and Nico Gonzalez.(loan option).....from Neves or (other sales) adama (Gibbs or donk)........

Not if he goes to barca. We'll see a similar jota-style deal.

 

[Joshwolf218]

Tbf all football deals work like that they are paid over the length of the contract

But wolves could put money on the books etc

 

[Oldskooldayz]

Interesting spiers has said a traore trincao swap is still on the table, possible to use trincao to get nunes but seems unlikely tbh but definitely positive vibes about recruitment.

If we get nunes and palinha then I'm sure gonzales won't be coming in as a new CB would then be the priority.

Also the guedes link doesn't make much sense to me as he's predominantly a winger/wide forward and we're fine in that department
