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

[JoshyWWFC]

Guedes was class today, same with Collins (apart from the goal)

 

[SanFranWolf]

Tough result at Spurs but if you're a striker watching that and wondering whether to join us or not, you've got to be licking your lips right?

We're creating so many chances, you'd have to be thinking to yourself - I'm having some of that surely!

 

[Rabid Wolf]

Andre Silva on bench today.

 

[17miles]

RB Leipzig on Sky at 5.30 interesting to watch Andre Silva.

Are we really creating that many chances though? We played some nice football today, but we didn't really create any clear cut chances.

That's how I was going to respond as well. Nothing really clear-cut. Probably Nunes' header the clearest chance and Podence's scuff from the blocked shot. Not much else.

I’m supporting Union Berlin (always do, since their Regional League days)

 

[Bostin]

Imagine if we’d had Belotti in that team today, battering the Spurs centre halves.

Having Podence as a false 9 does us no favours. The centre backs don’t need to bother with him and as a result there’s less space for everyone else.

Belotti, Andre Silva or Evanilson for me… the difference they’d make is massive. Serious competition for Raul, proper insurance for if Raul can’t reproduce his pre-injury form, and the option to occasionally play with two strikers that have an eye for goal.

 

[AlexWolvesHD]

We really need a focal point that can hold the ball up and link the likes of nunes, guedes & neto up as without it the ball just comes flying back quicker than we got it up there in the first place.

Yeah I’ll never understand this decision and it’s not even the first time. Surely you’d stick Guedes there

Not sure about Silva or Evanilson. Not seen enough of them to know whether they’d be the answer to our problems.

But Belotti is such a physical player. Him or someone like Toney would make a huge difference.

 

[bod101]

Ramos and BAT for me seems a sensible overall option

Forest are after Boly according to Percy

Interesting.

 

[Starsky]

As long as we sign an experienced replacement, would defo sell Boly now.

 

[yateleywolf]

£1 million sounds too low but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go .

 

[KBWWFC]

RAN clean through and then nobody gambles for it?

 

[topcat99]

For £1m?

It’s not 1979

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Selling Boly would be brilliant - any fee tbh given the massive wages he's on.

I love the big William and he's been brilliant for us. But he's no longer the same player and he's on big wages. He's looked poor for a long while now. I would get behind this sale 100%

Best CB I've seen play for us in his pomp. I still remember watching him away at Derby and just shouting "CLEAR IT" before he beat 2 men and started a counter attack. Time moves on sadly

 

[Perton Wolf]

He's declined but surely still worth more than that!

 

[SuperGran]

For £1m?

It’s not 1979

He’s not been the same since covid and he’s 30 don’t think we’d get a lot more for him

 

[Matt]

Right, which Portuguese centre halves are available at the minute?

 

[JamesWolves]

Selling Boly would mean we'd need a CB just for that extra cover.

So a ST, full back and now a cb ?

 

[Premier Quality]

Forest are after Boly according to Percy

He’s probably only worth about 5m tops these days - but as it’s forest we should look for £15m!!

 

[Skrilla]

£1m is a joke surely. He's our third best centre back and there's about a week left in the transfer window.

 

[k-dog]

£1million opening bid for Boly? That means we should get about £30million from Forest come deadline day. Sell.

 

[k-dog]

And he’s scored 8 more goals than MGW ever did for us. £50million

 

[WKFWolf]

Three points on Boly:

- He will be on decent wages so fee is irrelevant, if we get rid of the wages will open up a gap again to invest
- Contract is up next summer?
- He's not the player he was

 

[SA Wolf]

Are we turning into Forest's feeder club?

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Are we really creating that many chances though? We played some nice football today, but we didn't really create any clear cut chances.

You're right, we aren't. But a decent striker would make the runs to capitalise on the number of opportunities our midfielders would get to find a clever front runner where they currently have little option but to circulate the ball out wide

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Marques?

 

[WasStefan]

Boly is no doubt surplus. But £1m is a joke. £5m would do

 

[Bugsy911]

Boly hasn't looked right for a while real shame as looks like covid has done for him at this level, as long as we replace I'm happy for him to go.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

In my opinion there's very little movement in advance of the ball from our attacking players.
It's therefore very slow, pedestrian and predictable, with lots of safe and tidy, side to side possession, which makes it easy to defend against.

 

[virgiltracy123]

Gonçalo Inácio anyone with Grimaldo and Andre Silva. Would be very nice.

 

[virgiltracy123]

Watching leipzig 2-0 down lets see if the bring Andre Silva on.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

5m and sign Pepe

 

[rg4352]

No, but I do feel with a proven striker leading the line they would make the runs needed to encourage clever through balls rather than the side to side and back we still seem to be favouring a bit too much. I found Nunes and Guedes focus/instinct on getting into the box and moving forward encouraging as a starting point though!
