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

[Scallywolf]

Reminds me of Kevin Francis. Remember that air kick he did for blues and the ref gave the cart horse a ****ing pity penalty for being so ****.

Kevin Francis! Now there’s a memory. He was 6 feet 6 of utter rubbish.

I was at the match and remember that kick at fresh air when the ball was six inches from an open goal.

If I remember correctly Bully won the game for us with a great goal in the last minute.

Fairly sure we "held an interest" or were "watching closely" or even "preparing a bid..."

And another one bites the dust…

Can’t get that bloody Queen song out of my head!

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Darío Osorio .. being reported ln Chile deal looking likely and we have offered 5mUSD which is acceptable to the Chilean Club .. no idea if would get Work Permit .. it does seem easier for South American players .. maybe a loan to Grasshoppers .. who knows ..

An 18 y.o midfielder who has played twice for the Chilean team. I assume he would not get a work permit.

Yes. I just watched it on YouTube. Bob hall special. Francis also skied a sitter from 10 yards and bully got the late winner. When you watch the highlights your forget how dross 90s football was.

Francis was appalling. He was just tall.

That little **** Paul devlin always used to score against us. Little ****.

Adama must be staying then.
Every inch helps to get on to those shanked crosses.
Hope he can jump diagonally backwards and has a button to extend his neck like inspector gadget.

Luckily Chiq can actually cross

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Personally im now at the point where im not interested in any player unless they are between the age 22-31, have top level experience, and their specialist position is either centre back or centre midfield.

Anything else is just fluff and window dressing and will generally have zero impact on our first 11 next season.

Same

Have we been linked with one centre back the entire window?

 

[Dan G WWFC]

18m is a total rip off. These big target men keep getting brought out of Belgium and hardly ever work out. Bambi on ice and can't control a football.

Watch his goals again and look how much space he has. Won't get that in the premier league.

Another Wesley. Thought this was what Villa do not us

 

[Nige100]

Isn't this the guy who scored the worst hat trick in football ?

https://twitter.com/x/status/1445496337953218565

Insane scoring record in Belguim

I’d take one of the crappy hat tricks any day of the season. We are hardly prolific so if he brings an element of luck in front of goal happy days.

I see this and raise you Adam Proudlock at Bradford in 2001.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Really don’t understand letting Silva going on loan if we are to waste money on a striker

 

[Cornwall Wolf]

Just a point .. The legendary Steve Bull did not have the greatest of girst touches but could score goals
Also no matter who Wolves sign even if its Ronaldo or Messi for 60%+ of the Mix they will not be good enough .. too tall too short .. too fat too thin .. to quick too slow ..

Never needed a first touch with a second that good…..

It’s simple to me.

Raul is going in a season. Ramos and Silva from 2023, Raul and Ramos for this season.

You mean dilly dallying…..whether to eat the bacon sandwich or maybe sausage or even an egg banjo

 

[Contrarian]

Mbappe wouldn’t score goals in our side though

Podence and Traore have never scored goals in *any* side, though.

You must be delighted we haven't signed 21 year old striker Erling Haaland. What use would he be to us, eh?

Not the greatest first touch but had some explosiveness about him. Some of these target men just looks cumbersome.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

I do like we are looking at striker options but I cannot fathom the drying up of midfielder and defender names being mentioned.

All very similar to the last few windows where the same requirements have been blindingly obvious to most yet we end up signing a forward (Podence and Hwang as examples).

Does anyone else think we could get away without signing a defender? I know it’s risky but if it means we can buy a more creative player for midfield and a striker then I wouldn’t mind. The lack of goals is quite worrying considering the talent we have in forward areas

We would probably loan him to grasshoppers.

Nah I think we need a centre back, if we are going 3 at the back again you'd have to say Kilman Coady Boly are first choice with Toti and Mosquera as back up.

Mosquera is totally unproven and doesn't look ready for the first team, plus he picked up a couple of injuries last season so thats a worry, Toti is back up at best, did a decent job when called upon but I'm not 100% sold on him if he is required to play a substantial number of games. So then you are relying on the 3 first choice picks staying fit and Boly hasn't been fully fit for 2 years and doesn't look the same player, even Kilman missed the end of the season, it's a massive risk going in to the season with just those 5

Wonder how much we got for them?

 

[DanishWolf]

Sounds the real deal

Absolutely..
Obviously it's always a question whether anyone from a league with lower quality than PL, can make the step up. I'd say however that the Belgium league is a bit better than the Danish and he adapted quite well and has now outgrown that level too

 

[jim_boner]

We would probably loan him to grasshoppers.

Very original and creative comedy. Well done.

Coady
Kilman
Boly
Toti
Mosquera

That suggest it’s possible but Boly has lost it (IMO), Toti is still raw and Mosquera is injury prone. Then we have the debate on formation etc

Personally I think we need one.

More on Osario

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Hopefully about £40 million.

 

[Wolf316]

Hopefully about £40 million.

More like £40

 

[WickedWolfie]

50% just means Barca retain a 50% sell on clause. Like our deal with angers for RAN

I don't in all honesty fully understand what the difference is between "economic interest" and a sell-on clause except that the former can last indefinitely until bought out.

 

[old wittonian]

Wonder how much we got for them?

Probably zilch but with a sell on clause.

 

[old wittonian]

As much as that.

Aint ***** about them leaving

Im more concerned on how much we got for them, i'll go out on a limb and say not much at all.

Shabani cost us 1.5m euros, Dadashov around 450k fwiw

 

[WKFWolf]

Absolute no brainer, not going to make a dent in the first team so get them off the wage bill whilst retaining sell on or first option at GZ.

He'd be loaned out to Grasshoppers or Miami, never play for Wolves.

Only in training, I doubt he'll get many starts. I'm so used to Traore charging down the pitch, then nothing...

Hows Mosquera injury prone? Lads had one injury.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

I consider Kilman, a top half Prem central defender and potentially a top 4 defender.

I don't. I think he's massively helped by the fact we effectively play 7 defensive minded outfielders and would be exposed in a more open side. Game of opinions.

 

[Madmalc]
