The happy days are here again, hopefully no more repeated arguments, transfer thread

[OLDGOLD]

Maybe if he was hooked we could've actually won.

Whoscored gave him a 5.67 rating which is outrageously bad.

He had 1 shot, the one when Neto passed it to him instead of just shooting.

1 chance created.

Completed 50% of his passes

Completed 0 dribbles but got tackled 4 times.

Only defensive action was a foul and booking after giving the ball away.

Attempted 1 cross.

Tbh I usually like Pod, apart from his diving, but he was woeful today.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Don't understand how Pod wasn't subbed today

 

[manchesterwolf17]

We do have 4 attackers plus wing backs ahead of our 2 Dam's. It should be enough..

It should mate, but it isn't. The quantity is almost irrelevant if no player is capable of doing what's required.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

No options

No options

Pod for Guedes instead of neto

 

[AndyY]

We are playing 4231 with MGW/ Podence behind the striker

We are, but we played 4-3-3 all pre-season and I suggest we only shifted formation to try to cover for the loss of Raul for several weeks. We have needed 3 in a stronger midfield for a very long time; this would allow ipus to defend higher up the pitch.

Both players were knackered and poor

Yes that’s true, just feel pod should have come off first

The front 4 yesterday are all very streaky form wise there’s no constant 7/8 out of 10 i that section of the team

Only have 2 senior midfielders

Having seen Jonny yesterday I’m concerned our plan of having three fullbacks with Jonny covering both sides is flawed. Yesterday he looked a shadow of the player he was before his injury. This combined with RAN still being work in progress and Semedo injury prone leaves us very exposed. On the bright side Semedo looked very good in his brief appearance yesterday.

Yeah Jonny has concerned me too I must say. He’s playing like a 36 year old who’s clinging on to their career. Given his recent injuries it’s understandable however we’ll look a lot better with Semedo in

Agreed. Semedo'z injury coincided with our recent awful form.

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

I agree with Jonny, hugely concerning. He's not really getting close to players, they're not skinning him in an embarrassing way, just shifting it and getting the space we need. Lost that explosiveness which is maybe understandable.

The Sun saying Charlie Taylor can leave Burnley this summer. Not the most fashionable player but pretty steady performer.

Could have him as LB with RAN and hope that Semedo stays fit on the right!

 

[Royal wolf]

#strawclinging

No I agree. We did drop off after his injury. He’s a quality player and with that extra attacker on the field I’m sure he’ll provide a good link between the forward line and the rest.

And again, before further moderation starts...

 

[GateWolf]

Andre Silva. Sources say the deal is close, just waiting for agents fees to be resolved.

Let’s see if he gets any game time.

So this is the guy that the MolineuxInsider posts were about at the end of July, we needed Werener to sign for Leipzig in order for them to loan us Silva

Played 20 odd mins yest in Leipzigs 2-2 draw. Not sure if that means he’s still part of their plans or not. This end of the window feels tense.

Agree, but I also worry about Semedo’s hamstrings. I think I would add a full back to the shopping list. And if we got one in, I might even be tempted to play RAN on the left of a midfield 3

 

[SanFranWolf]

There are 17 days left in this transfer window, 3 matches - Spurs, The Toon and Bournemouth.

The window closes on at 11pm on Sept 01st.

I have everything crossed that Guo and Jorge are going to shift Heaven the earth to bring in the two players we so desperately need.

Tbh Seeing those pair at the game yesterday fills me with a lot more optimism and confidence than Jeff and Scott. I feel like we’re big league with those guys, Scott and Jeff aren’t the same.

Agreed. It feels different with them involved. As I pet (conspiratorially) saying, no sign of Scott in Wolves media for a good while

Strasbourg are playing today, will be interesting to see if he's in the line up.

Is Nixon ever accurate?

Feels like there is a chance there. Would have to make it worth Leipzigs while but I'm not sure he would have any obvious CL suitors. Feels like after Guedes there is always a chance we will eventually sign the mendes clients we are linked to every year.

 

[Scallywolf]

I do think that MGW, Neto and Podence will be a real threat up front for us. Guedes coming in adds a further threat imo.

Fast, direct, tricky and when they start to click it should be good to watch.

We definitely need that 15+ goals striker though. Someone who will be a constant menace in the 18 yard box occupying opposition defenders and being on the end of chances created by the 4 I have mentioned. Raul could be the one but he needs back up. Hwang ain’t good enough.

Hwang and Neto had good chances yesterday from wide positions in the six yard box. No out and out striker near them to tuck away the loose ball.

This move makes sense as it’s a different type of striker than to what we have.

Wonder if this were to happen is it a loan to buy rather than just a straight loan

Plus what would be the fee if they are rumoured to want 15mil euro then surely we should be able to stretch that over 4 year contract (3.75 mil non sterling on the books through amortisation)

 

[Supadavewolf]

Mate some of your stats are wrong.

Guedes is 1.79m which is 5’10”
MGW is 1.78m which is also 5’10”

You of course missed out the strikers…

Raul is 1.9m which is 6’3”
Fabio is 1.85m which is 6’1”

So yes, we are missing a bit of height while Raul is out, Fab on loan and we haven’t signed a second senior striker.

This could cost us defensively. At present we only have Mighty Max and Collins dominant in the air, which is one reason why Donk is a key figure at present.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Signing is needed on Monday so they can start on Saturday.

No excuses now.

Cm and cf

Get it sorted

 

[SuperGran]

Is Nixon ever accurate?

He’s linked us with collins ages before anyone else did

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Until we have a tall striker back in the team I agree. Raul makes a lot of defensive headers for opposition corners.

It was reported last week we have a lower bid of around 10m to sign him turned down.

 

[WasStefan]

Forest are signing Aouar.

And the way Donk's started the season, it's his shirt to lose IMV when (hopefully) we sign another CM and Mouts is fit.

Any midfielder coming in also needs to have aerial ability IMV.

Looks a good player needs to get it done before Everton turn up etc

They beat out west ham to Onana so always a risk

 

[Joshwolf218]

Forest are signing Aouar.

Seemed destined for big things but going to forest he might do well.

 

[WKFWolf]

Got to ask if he's that good why is noone else in for him at that price

 

[Supadavewolf]

Forest are signing Aouar.

Wasn't he in the Wurzels?

 

[Bill McCai]

Forest close to sign Houssem Aouar from Lyon. Would think that puts an end to their interest in MGW for the time being?
