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

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Indeed.... Jonny appears to be this seasons scapegoat ( along with that perpetual favourite Adama) ...
I'd play him over Ait Nouri on the left now that Semedo is back.

I wouldn't change the back 4. Apart from the first game where RAN had a mare it has been absolutely fine. Semedo can play his way back into the team from injury.

I think MGW is better than Podence.

I made a point of watching how manny flicks he tried on Saturday and even prime Maradona, Messi, Zlatan or Totti are not trying as many backheels and blind flicks as he does.

There’s a fundamental pragmatism in football which he completely lacks. Drop a striker in with GG out wide and different story.

The amount of flicks Pod did on Saturday was ridiculous. I only remember 1 coming off!

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Forgot that goal vs Southampton last season?

I did my bad

 

[lobodelsur]

Seems to have gone a little quiet on the striker rumours. Obviously the club keep things quiet, but I just wonder how far along they are in the hunt for reinforcements with a little over a week left of the window. Whatever incomings/outgoings are in the pipeline, it should be an interesting week before the toon match… hopefully!

I noticed that none of Ajorque, Silva or Moffi started for their teams this w/e.

 

[ElRobbery]

Wouldn’t be totally against seeing Neto go. As much as I love the guy, 50-60m is a lot should we get that much (highly doubt it).

We’ve proved this transfer window we can attract some big players so if we continue to get the recruitment right and spend the Neto money we could replace him well.

Makes me wonder, hearing Arsenal and Mendes have been in talks for a month over a deal, and the recent Evanilson links emerging could be something in it?

We’ve got plenty of cover for wide positions. Guedes could move to the left, Evanilson/ new ST through the middle. Bruno has spoken about Chem Campbells Development recently too.

One which let guedes in which was fantastic otherwise he gave away the ball alot

Comparison between podence and guedes

Given that podence has played double the minutes




and v mgw

All had minutes though i believe.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Been told Neto isn't leaving fwiw.

(This was prior to the Ornstein story this morning. I've asked if anything has changed)

Tried again and rejected again.

Makes sense to walk away, also made sense to try, without the need of a wopping 50m fee

 

[Glass ankles]

I'd personally like to go for a striker who already has a record of scoring in the prem + an upcoming striker from another league.

The strikers we've been linked with may turn out to be great but will likely need time to adjust and there's a big risk they may not score like they have in their current league.

I'd be doing everything possible to sign Toney first.

I'm not convinced he'd be good for the team from a personality perspective. I have no evidence to back this up, just get the feeling he is a ***** on and off the field.

Good, I’d rather pay money and get someone in who already has experience playing in this league, or looks like they could get up to speed quickly playing in it. My fear is he’d take months to be ready and adapt.

And he did brilliantly on Saturday to create something out of nothing down the right channel, only to see it roll agonisingly across Donk's foot

Is it just me but whenever I watch him all I can think is he has a massive head

 

[TWOLF]

I'm against short-termism, but he's had no pre-season and has never played outside Italy. It could take weeks for him to get to full fitness, never mind up to speed with the Prem. Fine if we have other options, but we don't.

Add to that his low resale value, his lack of interest in coming, his tendency to blow hot and cold and our recent experience with Cutrone and I just can't see Fosun going for him.

Agreed it’s not ideal to have a player that hasn’t had a pre season, you’d hope he’d kept fit though in readiness to signing with somebody.

He’s a free agent so it wouldn’t really be a risk. If he doesn’t like the prem we could sell him in the next window and maybe even make a mil or two.

Looks like he’s rejected us anyway. Fair enough to the player he really wants to stay in Italy, got to respect that. Onto Andre Silva we go.

I can honestly see this one happening.

I would expect Wolves will have an idea of a replacement lined up or maybe alternative targets in other positions.

I hope he doesn't go but if we get 50m with some add ons/a sell on fee it may be good business.

50m would be good business, where can we reinvest it. I dont think ramos can play as a winger nor really evanilson even as inside forwards.

Id be loathed to see hwang then take his starting berth even with guedes on the left.

 

[Peszkywolf]

You can see Neto being sold for 50m and us bringing in Evanilson and Ramos for ~100m. Just nothing surprises this window.
Not sure it would be a great move or not, would give Lage a front 3 which would be more narrow and maybe give us more goals?

Think thats to much of a reach, i can see one and maybe an FB.

I think we might actually be active on deadline day this year, (outgoings)

 

[TheTwoPigeons]

If we sell Neto after letting Gibbs White go it'll be a disaster for me.

I think Neto and Gibbs White will do good things this season, but Hwang, Podence or Traore? Not so much and we'd be stuck with playing at least one of them.

From a business lens, Neto has more to come and his value is going to increase so why take £50m now when we could get £70m in a year.

Traore can do it he just needs men in the box, he needs to be an assist machine not a scorer

Wouldn't be enough for me. No pressure to sell with a very long deal.

Players always have their price but id say his should.be higher based on previous evidence of potential

60 mill min for me

 

[MiddlesexWolf]

Have we had anymore snippet's on incomings?

I would imagine, if there's anything in the Ramos rumours, we will see things breaking Wednesday morning about him.

I could see us going for Evanilson and Pepe the guy we were heavily linked with last summer for that price

50m not enough I don't think at this stage in the window.

Confident it won't happen if those are the numbers being touted.

 

[Glass ankles]

I don't want to sell Neto at all.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

really dont like the noise about this

https://twitter.com/x/status/1561667983767998464

Really does seem we bought guedes and nunes, neto is worried about his playing time (used at RWB)

Mendes starting to drum up business in united and arsenal. Arsenal who are long term admirers, again though we must have someone to replace him. In the ilk of nunes and guedes signed, mgw went.

Neto goes, striker and another sign

 

[Axle]

If we let Neto go and bring in 2-3 more (strikers / attackers plus a FB) then this COULD be OK.

It's tight though and will take a lot of frenzied deals over the next few days.

If we don't sign a striker by the end of the window, this will be criminal though and can only assume that we have deals lined up for this to happen (said the same when Silva left and we've STILL not signed one!)

 

[Bostin]

Neto will be another Jota. Will go to a top team and become world class

Striker has to be here before Thursday IMO

Cant be without them before sunday and Newcastle

We have bournemouth on the wedensday, gap so short no way player would be up to speed, then the window closes

 

[Ponty]

60 mill min for me

Are you a winger or central striker?!

 

[stever]

Sell Neto and get two strikers in. I'll take that all day. Got no info on any advancements yet. Soz

 

[Wolf 82]

I think he is better personally. Fits Arsenal more than Utd imo..

Still think if we want ramos he is ours after champs league

 

[David Hill]

Neto before his injury then £50m looks way too low but on form since his return would represent good value. Therefore selling now is a bit of a gamble although realistically we may not have much choice. I can’t help but feel there is a great player still within him, he almost seems to be trying too hard since his injury.

 

[JohnB]

Risk we’ll have to change the title of this thread if Neto is sold….

….seriously everyone has price and place. We need to see the squad post the merry-go-round.

I’d echo others that Hwang and Traore would be better to go (and Podence) than Neto so will need a big replacement in my mind.

Never dull is it….

 

[jonesy]

If Neto is sold for 60 then great as long as another wide forward and a cf is bought

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

If Pedro goes, Jeff and Scott best get their resignation letters ready!

We should put out a public statement that Pedro is not for sale at any price and which reiterates that we are in the market for a Forward.

For him to go, would be 1 step forward and then 2 steps back and that is not what is deserved, knowing of his excellent ability.
