Sven Botman (Lille)

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Keep up…

I think he has difficulty in that area.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Let’s get a Dirty Sanches up the Botman.

who wouldn’t be satisfied?

 

[Hawkguy]

Botman is incredible. I see him watching David all the time. Very disappointed he's not coming. He would have been our best instantly.

 

[Deak77]

Then why the whine and moan about missing out on Botman when that’s just conjecture too? In the 30 mins after the Romano post, there were a long list of people complaining and attacking the club. Why? The reality is we likely won’t know the outcome either way until about this time tomorrow. It could all be a massive disappointment, a massive party, or something in between.

Because this forum is a sounding board for people's thoughts and frustrations,and that was mine.I also started my post with the word 'if', I wasn't moaning or whining, I'm keeping a very open mind.

Romano is known as almost gospel,so after he proclaimed any deal was dead, its only natural to speculate as to why.

I too hope that we'll be celebrating a successful window tomorrow evening.

I agree and understand. It’s a more exciting and interesting window than most…

Yep, if he's that good it's worth paying as much as we paid for Fabio Silva, if we're making investment choices as well as footballing ones.

I see Dias has signed a new deal at City, to replace the 6 yr contract he signed less than 12 months ago. He cost £65 million then, currently sitting on a contract up to 2027 he must be rated the most expensive defender in the world.
If we'd have gone in for him 12 months earlier when he was just about affordable, we'd have less FFP worries now because we could sell him to City.

Botman and Sanches would be an incredible window. Unlikely but you never know in football.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

They always talk to the player first. Every big transfer ever and even most ones in like championship

And then there was Cutrone.

 

[Will Wolf]

Very exciting, add to that the way we have been playing, plus key players to come back… could be a fantastic season.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

And then there was Cutrone.

Usually via the agent, and if there's a chink of light, to the player themselves to get it over the line.

The issue is a lot of agents will carry on negotiating even when the player is less than interested and back them into a corner.

To fall into line with the Premier league deadline day rules I was wondering who from the Mix will be representing the forum by going to Compton and dancing around behind the Sky reporter with a gold and black, rubber dong stuck to their forehead?

I am not bald and I am working tomorrow so I’m out…any volunteers?

 

[SA Wolf]

These 4 pages are all well and good, but can this guy play?

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Man, reading the fall out on this thread after Romano's post, it is gonna be complete and utter meltdown when the Sanches deal falls apart tomorrow.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

Rightly so too if the day turns out to be a fizzer.

You wait till the rumours about Neves leaving start circulating.

 

[Boon2]

TYPICAL!!!!
No Botman, no Sanches
but we sell Neves


We're doomed I tell you!

 

[wolvesaywe]

You wait till the rumours about Neves leaving start circulating.

Just wishful thinking from United fans as it looks like we're getting Sanches

2+2=5 stuff

 

[Bob Wolf]

I love how the scummy six supporters feel like it’s against the rules that we could have 2 players that they would want and therefore have to sell neves.

 

[Ian]

Kilman over Boly based on what 3 games? Crazy.

On this season and last.... Kilman over Boly every day of the week.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

SSN still saying we are in for him.

For what it’s worth I think we definitely are and it’s part of the sanches deal.

 

[Wolf316]

Does seem possible they could get a big wedge of cash now and two lots of wages off the books.

 

[Matt]

Does kinda make some sense to agree to take Sanches while injured if they also let us have Botman. Here’s hoping.

 

[modenawolf]

Would make sense: get cash now for Botman (e.g. €30m), then loan us Sanches with an option, knowing they'll get another €30m or so next summer.

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

Spiers has confirmed it now

Especially as sanches apparently only has one year left next summer

 

[blakenhall wolf]

I would also agree with that

 

[Beer Wolf]

I agree with you. I would take Boly at his best, unfortunately I do think we've seen his best.
One area where Boly is still probably better is as a dominant header of the ball in both boxes.
I do see an improvement in that area with Max this season, and hopefully he will continue to improve.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Botman has the air of a Dias deal all over him. As we've stated we nee to get in for the best young players before they become out of our reach. With incoming fees for Mir and Otasowie I think that £25m is not out of our reach financially and it'll be about Jeff wanting to get the absolute best price and the player wanting to come here.

If we are working on two deals with Lille I wouldn't be surprised and would add a little to the time being taken. Really hope we're not kicking ourselves in 12 months time.

 

[Stoichkov]

can't help thinking Botman and Sanches deals are linked. Maybe Jeff has emptied his piggy bank and said "I've got £46m and 57p" - you can have half now and half next summer for Sanches

Lille think he's got a bigger piggy bank hidden somewhere so trying it on....

Ultimately they need cash desperately. So who blinks first....

 

[JohnMatrix]

If Jez Moxey was still at the club he'd have had this done and dusted ages ago offering Lille his new "baguette and a bottle of wine" scheme.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Let’s not forget that Lille need to sell someone, and as far as I know, the only person in play is Botman to Wolves or Sevilla. Sevilla won’t be able to progress unless they sell Kounde to Chelsea…

No we would have had the ‘we’re done and happy with our business signing a replacement for Doris’ only to have the Lille chairman later say he’s slightly bemused that a Mr Moxey from Wolverhampton phoned and asked about the health and well-being of Renato and Sven and waffled about a pie and a pint but didn’t discuss any transfer business.

Lille are in talks to sign Jerome Boateng, make of that what you will


Edit: ignore my stupidity

You were right I got a little excited I saw Lille oh well

 

[Pintandkebab]

Romano doubling down on no Botman deal

Think this thread can be closed.

 

[JH1902]

Another no go on this one unfortunately. Fabrizio confirmed.
