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

[Eastyorksyeltz]

For those interested

Linked with Roma as well, so.......

 

[Jonzy54]

And Silva through the door makes 9 players out.Any chance of anyone coming the other way ?????

 

[Bryce]

Didn’t he also get 18 holes in one?

Jeff Shi could fall in a barrel of nipples and still come out sucking his thumb
Sellars couldn’t find the barrel to scrape the bottom of.
Seriously need to pull some major rabbits out of hats to give fans some Confidence

 

[Sussex Wolf]

The countdown has begun before we see reports linking Ramos with <insert top six team here> ?

Meanwhile a convenient link of Wolves with him takes the heat off Scott and Jeff from Wolves fans over the Silva loan, and drums up interest from other clubs.

Not that I’m cynical, just a script I’ve seen play out too often recently.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Would make sense, Ramos has great potential and already a full season under his belt in Benfica’s first team where he scored 8g + 4a at only 20y/o. If Mendes can sort us a loan with option that would be ideal, both him & Fabio look really good together playing for Portugal U21s.

I also like Henrique Aruajo from Benfica a lot too.

Strong, good first touch, can head the ball, and above all, he can finish. Would be a great signing. Would like to see him up front with Silva, but maybe next year

Of course it won't happen. We can't afford him and others will beat us to it before we get round to making a bid.

Its definitely donck, face has changed slightly but its him

"Okay so I start the post with ITK, then say I know someone in Compton, yeah, and you give me the name of the next player to appear on Sky Sports TV, sorted"

 

[Tring Wolf]

Ramos is excellent. Has a good understanding with Fabio in the Portugal U-21’s. Would love to see the two of them together for us in a couple of years.

Obligation or option?

 

[ballboy#2]

Ugh, Ramos reminds me of a Portuguese John McGinn, facially, in a couple of pictures. Now I've seen it I can't unsee it. Terrible.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Same guy who said it on twitter earlier but he also said on here we are negotiating with Benfica for the player.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1545089675072790529

Can see this one happening.

 

[JOSWolf]

We are going to do all the incomings in 23 hours?

To be fair to them it worked brilliantly on deadline day last summer!

Benfica forum saying its almost certainly loan to buy 30m+

That is a lot of money for someone not that much more experienced than Fabio.

 

[Jayjaywolves]

I'm not watching any more videos.
I refuse to watc.........
**** me look at that finish.
He'd look nice in old gold.
I'm having his name on the back of my shirt.
Maybe a tattoo of his face after he bangs in 20 goals this season and fires us to the champions League.

Fabrizio: Ramos is happy where he is until a big team make an offer.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Said a while back, maybe in the previous thread that got closed, but Goncalo Ramos would be an outstanding buy, really drives at players.

Would love him here.

 

[Chris H]

Benfica forum saying its almost certainly loan to buy 30m+

The last striker we took on a loan to buy from Benfica for £30m didn’t turn out too badly.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Not that we will get him but at least he can head a ball

Still needs service, though.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Some random account linked him to us weeks ago. Then said maybe a couple weeks ago he was sold

 

[Redrockwanderer]

He’s played over 30 games for Benfica and scored 11. Played 18 for Portugal under 21’s, scoring 14 goals..

Fabio on the other hand… played 12 games for Porto and scored 1 before we signed him. Has since only scored 4 goals for Wolves. 6 goals in 8 for Portugal u21.

Slight difference…

 

[Deleted member intdint]

I really don't get people saying this. He has just had an effective season playing as either an inside forward in a 343 or second striker in a 352. And i would say there's a good arguement he could have done the role Lage wanted Trincao to do in the 352 as atracking midfielder.

Imo (using current squad) if we had a fluid front 3 of Neto, Raul, MGW it would work well, and would compliment each other. It's a whole other ramble, but would like us to try 2 strikers with a 10 behind, even with 3 at the back.

He fits our system as well as anyone, but needs to be playing in order to do so

Whilst nothing can be proved; i feel we'd have been better off with him ahead of hwang and trincao last season, especially after a good preseason.

The 2 years left on his contract is an issue, and the ball is kinda in his court. Had he played last season maybe this wouldn't be an issue right now. Whilst you can't guarantee anyone's place, for me, he starts, and we should be trying very hard to keep him

MGW would be a liability in the center of midfield, so we have two options, play him as a second striker as you suggest, or play him out wide like he does with England.

As a right winger, in our system of counter attack he would not suit at all, we require players to be able to move from defence to attack very quickly and dynamically, I have seen nothing in all my years of watching MGW that he would succeed in that role.

When talking about playing him as a second striker, do we currently have the squad to play that system? I think not.

I think in a team with more possession he will succeed, Arsenal have been looking at him.

He gets dispossessed quite easily when looking to receive frontal balls into his feet, doesn't protect the ball very well and is sometimes quite wasteful when out wide.

6 months into this current Wolves side, his confidence will have gone, crowd be on his back and his value halved.

25m for a player with two years left, doesn't want to be here and hasn't proven himself in the Prem is incredible business.

 

[AlexWolvesHD]

Goncalo Ramos is a really talented young player, a loan to buy would be a good deal for us.

I believe he tends to play just off the primary striker though so would perhaps indicate a move to some sort of 442?

 

[NothingButNeto]

Trying not to get my hopes up until I see him in our shirt, but unfortunately my hopes are up right now.

Don’t let me down Wolves.

 

[NewarkWolf]

How many of those 9 were first team players. Those that we are going to miss??

And with those shorts on probably a routine thing for benfica......

He can play a bit deeper off a main striker too. Lage liked a 4411 at Benfica and maybe he wants him in the Joao Felix role

Shame we couldn't have João Felix in the João Felix role, but still sounds good to me!

I said the other day many were options in the event of injuries ,loss of form and suspensions .We are running out of alternatives ,notwithstanding our total lack of addressing our shortcomings

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

So Nunes and Ramos unveiling the shirt tomorrow then?

 

[Wolf in the sun]

Got a feeling itll be neves in away kit..signed on 8th july in away kit

 

[DPE]

If that’s were to happen the project would certainly still be on.

 

[NothingButNeto]

I love this, but I don’t think the club are that strategic.

Plus, wasnt Mendes just in Barca trying to shop Neves for 80M?

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

If that’s were to happen the project would certainly still be on.

But many of us would be in a cardiac ward, or under sedation, so wouldn't appreciate it quite as much.

I think that was 8am too...just a theory..no idea

 

[Stourwolf]

Spot on. The squad is threadbare and that’s the big problem.

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Dare I suggest it, and I’m asking the football analytics of the world, COULD Raul do a job for us in midfield, like Joelinton has done at Newcastle?
Their Player of the season I believe, and he was AWFUL up top.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

I love this, but I don’t think the club are that strategic.

An ironic red and blue striped 2nd kit launch, with Adama as model and a farewell message from Reuben? That would be too cruel, surely?

 

[JOSWolf]

Exactly, mate!

 

[WolfLing]

That is a lot of money for someone not that much more experienced than Fabio.

Not much more, but still probably more first team ready now.

He’s a year older than Fabs. So a loan to buy works perfectly.

Fabio plays most of the season on loan and comes back a year older, a year wiser and more equipped for the PL.

If Ramos does really well, we spend the money on him and probably move Raul on. If not, we send him back and Fabio comes back in.

It’s a way of improving our squad for next season, protecting our investment in Fabio, but with no immediate cost to us.

Works well all round. Especially if Anderlecht get through their Europa playoff and Fabio gets some European game time too.
