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

[Cuban Wolf]

We are just fans, that adore our beloved club, we can whinge, moan and stamp our feet, and throw our toys out of the pram, if that is your want, but it is a combination of the powers that be at Wolves, (which we are not), and player power, that dictates what happens in this world of football. Us fans are just on the preriphery.

Wolves fans: Coady is nowhere near good enough for a back 4

Also Wolves fans: why the **** are we letting Coady go?

Context - 'we are sending him to bolster a relegation rival'

Simples. we save the wages for now. use them for another player, then when or IF he comes back we sell him again. Sorry but it is not rocket science. Not been rude, it is pure maths

We're also making one of our rivals stronger and taking a massive risk on the 4 at the back working out, which needs a hell of a lot of work going by yesterday, just to save on wages, don't make sense to me and a big risk. If we had got a decent transfer fee for him, I could probably see it

 

[Supadavewolf]

Only one of them is recent.

I think we might disagree on the definition of "recent". However, since your original post didn't specify a time period regarding our 'rubbish' transfers, I simply chose 10 from the last decade.

Here's 10 quality acquisitions from my era. Bert 'the cat' Williams, Malcolm Finlayson, Eddie 'chopper' Clamp, Ron Flowers, Eddie Stuart, Jimmy Mullen, Peter Broadbent, Roy Swinborne, Bill Slater and Johnny Hancocks.

Yes, we could both easily put together a 'top 10' rubbish transfers, selecting different players. But IMV to say we're rubbish at transfers is really OTT.

That's not context, that's a supposition

 

[Scallywolf]

If Coady does go, his reception on his playing return to Molineux is going to be a special one, akin to the one Robbie Keane got.

He won’t play against us if it’s a loan.

And we haven't even been watching out for private jets ....need to pull out finger out on here....keep the faith.....great signing that is....been banging the Guedes drum for 3 seasons.....

Yeah you and me both

 

[Metal Wolf89]

Losing a leader, massive gap to full, shame he cannot play in a four.

 

[Jayjaywolves]

Medical tomorrow for Guedes!!! Confirmed by fab.

 

[SuperGran]

Talisca next

Not being rude but isn't it applied maths?

 

[TelfordWolf]

Fantastic news about Guedes - really good signing that. 2-3 more needed now before we sell anyone.

ST and a CM who can get around the pitch next. Nunes would be a dream but can’t see it!

 

[Cuban Wolf]

Is that because the bleedin' trains have been on strike

Letting Conor go feels like a sad day for me ... and a huge mistake.

Hope I’m wrong.

 

[wolfgar]

Shi must be the only person running a football club in world football that could manage to find himself getting completely rinsed by Barca (multiple times) and Everton

 

[Supadavewolf]

That's not context, that's a supposition

I'm familiar with suppositions.

Sorted the old piles out wonderfully.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Can we take a moment to just recognise, irrespective of anything else, what a truly magnificent servant Coady has been for Wolves.

Arguably in the top 10 most influential / impactful players of the last 40 years.

Thank you.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

If Coady does go, his reception on his playing return to Molineux is going to be a special one, akin to the one Robbie Keane got.

He should honestly get a banner in the South Bank when he comes back. He deserves a massive welcome. Only problem is, if he's on loan he won't be in the squad. So that would scupper it somewhat!

 

[Scallywolf]

As awful as our bench was yesterday, can you imagine what it will look like against Fulham if Conor goes, no one comes in and none of our injured players have recovered!

Things must be happening this week regarding incomings. They must be!

 

[NothingButNeto]

Be curious if Bats and Guedes are both announced tomorrow at the same time. Maybe in a third kit.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Whether a mistake or not, mate, time will tell.

But a sad day? There can't be many Wolves supporters who don't feel a degree of sadness.

Sad day indeed.

 

[VancouverWolf]

I’m gutted he could leave AND can see the merits of it.

Last thing I want for him at 29 is to spend week after week on our bench. Being “good around the dressing room” and earning lots of money might have been good enough for John Ruddy but it’s not for Coady.

Good point. After leading the team for so many years, it would be disheartening for him to sit on the bench game after game, week after week like yesterday’s newspaper. A loss of face.
Unless you’re made of cast iron, that would get to anyone.

Don't want bats at the minute....I'm holding out for Ramos or Andre Silva......come on Jorge.....one of them and Nico Gonzalez.....job done..

 

[NothingButNeto]

Agreed. Much prefer either of the other options, but many have said that Bats is a done deal.

Still sceptical...as it hasn't been mentioned by anybody respectable......and I don't count dodgy sky sports as respectable.....I'm not against it, as such , it maybe why we have removed Connors wage off the bill......but I'm holding out for a Jorge special.....

 

[Cuban Wolf]

But look on the bright side, if Fabio hadn't gone on loan. we could have had the ultimate pairing of Batman and the Boy Wonder!

 

[thommo1984]

Oh shut up. It’s a loan with obligation. The money is on the books, the rest is just accountancy ****ing.

Shut up? You seem nice.

The only info out there is it’s an obligation with a few caveats including appearances and relegation so it’s nowhere near as straight forward as simple accounting.

 

[lobodelsur]

So Guedes joins. I've never been a huge fan. Hope I'm massively wrong

I still hear MGW is going despite what the club is saying. Maybe I'm hearing it from people who don't know but they've been very on the ball previously

That was my initial reaction -MGW goes to finance Guedes.
Coady loaned so his wages saved to pay for Gonzalez's. All we need now is two strikers in on an L2B basis.

If I offended you I apologise. Please feel free to mentally replace it with ‘Oh You!’ In a camp voice.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Coady, Saiss, Doc, Diogo and of course Nuno now all gone.

Arguably Cav and Costa could be included in that lot too.

End of an era.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Had a chat on the train with a guy about Coady on the way up to Scotland.
His niece is Coady’s wife. I wouldn’t underestimate his family in all this. Being away and not playing isn’t going to be easy for Coady.
Three kids under ten too.

Bonatini still here thankfully.

Think Bats offers something a bit different.. which is always useful

Fully appreciate that but if true we're loaning him to a potential relegation candidate, even with an obligation to buy, meaning they can't currently afford him then it's the height of stupidity unless the obligation fee is set at a premium.

 

[lobodelsur]

Can't say I've ever been completely convinced by Guedes.
Having said that I was sure Trincao was going to take us to the next level...
