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

Timo has just said goodbye to Chelsea. I’m sure RB announce him soon. A Silva announcement tomorrow?

[CelebrityWolf]

When everyone fit we have Raul, Neto, Podence, MGW, Traore, Hwang, Guedes and Chem Campbell

Good amount of options to have

Still need a striker though

Pretty sure Chem won't play again all season and will be loaned out if possible.

Think your right, he's still a raw talent and could do with 'maturing' a little yet. A loan would do him good as did MGW.

I'd guess we'll need some actually reports we want him first then hopefully something. Wouldn't expect anything tomorrow.

Let's hope!

Bayer Leverkusen have signed Adam Hlozek, and have been touting Joel Pohjanpalo about a bit. He's 29, can play across front three and has a decent record on loan in 2. Bundesliga/Turkish Super Lig. l He'd be be a cheap and cheerful, hit the ground running, backup striker kinda signing.

Kind of like the iceland striker we had.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Any strong rumours today? Anyone else close to coming in?

No rumors at all today. Very quiet post Guedes.

 

[modenawolf]

Looking at yet another Traore I've heard.... the Sassuolo attacking CM.

Cracking young player, but currently out with a fractured foot. Can play attacking midfield or wide left; potential MGW replacement?

Silva is playing for them, they won't sell him.

They've got Sorloth on the bench at the minute, he'll be the one to go.

 

[lets all have a disco]

With Ramos I wonder if benfica champions league qualification may determined it.... obviously it will be pushing it as it won't be decided till the 24th August......would prefer Ramos to Andre Silva personally as I think Silva has hit his glass ceiling already ....we definitely won't profit of a Silva purchase in the futures.. .

Ramos starts

Ramos starts

I think if we get either Ramos or Silva, it will be very late in the window. Just the way it has to be, unfortunately.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

I don't get the obsession with Ramos.

He's got a decent record with Benfica but there's nothing to suggest Fabio Silva wouldn't have had a decent record with Porto by this stage.

I don't see why you'd loan out one unproven Portuguese U21 international to replace him with a slightly less unproven Portuguese U21 international.

Get a senior striker in for a year and then get Silva back.

 

[jonesy]

cm links gone quiet really hoping we were getting one in before the weekend

[Flea]

Really tried to ignore this post..

Maybe we shouldn't of bothered signing anyone ? Would that of made you happy ??

Sorry,my post wasn´t meant to upset anyone really.
Just some concerns that I chosed to express on this forum you know?
Raul and Neto is really good and proven players at us..it might be hard for Guedes to compete with them?
Nothing strange if that´s the case I recon.
Playing in a three with Pod and Neto behind Raul perhaps?(suggested by another poster)
This means no room for MGW it seems.

I don´t think anyone can say that Guedes is a proven big goalscorer.
Ergo,we must have bought him for cover perhaps..and for being an upgrade on MGW then?
Do we even know if he will be an upgrade on MGW..especially given that MGW seems to develop nicely as a footballer?

I am not against the signing.I am..of course almost never ever against a signing since I am a football fan of the club here and not an accountant.

I can´t lie though..27,5 Mill seems alot of money to me.

Apparently we are offering two payment options.

Between €6m and €8m for a straight permanent deal, or a season loan with €10m obligation.

 

[Jayjaywolves]

Is this Boubs a CM? If so, is there anyone we've seen that he's comparable to?
I'd love a powerful kessie, Alf ndaiye type.
We've missed that in our side.

Doesn't seem like he'd walk into our team, so I'd hope this wasn't the only midfielder we're targeting, but I do think we need a couple in if Lage plans to use a 4-3-3 as well as the 4-2-3-1, so we have five central midfielders.

This also adds up with the other Traore that Lubo suggested, and the other poster who mentioned not knowing the player based on name structure, with Traore being a very common African surname.

First linked in The Sun in January

Wolves line up shock summer transfer bid for £8m Traore from French side Metz

WOLVES are making a surprise bid to sign Metz midfielder Boubacar Traore in an £8million deal. Wanderers are keen to recruit top young talent and fancy the midfielder, 20. Metz are holding out for …

www.thesun.co.uk

 

[Skrilla]

Only compilation I could find of him, he's only played 22 games for Metz so that's not surprising. Looks very raw, I think he'd be more of a depth signing with potential rather than an immediate upgrade that can play next to Neves immediately.

 

[JamesWolves]

Has a shot on him

 

[Flea]

I do not see him on the bench. Much more likely playing with Neto and Pod in a 3 behind the striker.

OK..got it.
You are sure he is an upgrade on MGW then I recon.
If not so,then what?

I want to underline my impression that we have somewhat limit funds to buy players for.
I can´t say that I support the signing of a player whose biggest pro seems to be that he is versatile,if it has a negative impact on our ability to make another signing for another position in the team that to me it looks like we might need it even more.

I do hope we find good use of Guedes,and that he proves to be a big hit with us.
I never thought Raul would make it in Prem surroundings when we bought him for example..so what do I know?..

It´s just that IF Guedes proves not to be able to outcompete MGW for example and is benched for large amount of times then 27,5 Mill seems alot of money.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Last thing we need is another raw prospect
Need an oven ready player even if we have to wait

 

[hollo]

Besides hwang 2 do bordeaux have any other decent players?

 

[lostwolf]

If there is any chance we can still get Nunes, the club needs to go all out for him. He'd be a perfect fit for this team. If we were to sign only one player to finish this window, it should be him. We have some sort of cover for Jimenez in Guedes/Hwang, but we only have three senior central midfielders, given Bruno clearly doesn't trust Cundle or Ronan at this level, and rightly so. Put a more mobile, ball-winning, carrier of the ball next to Neves and we're cooking.

He's exactly the sort of player we need, more so than Collins and Guedes, despite them being quality signings. Unfortunately there's no way he's coming here.

 

[Skrilla]

To be fair, he's started more games than the midfielder Everton just signed for £30m+, so maybe calling him a raw prospect isn't doing him justice.

Must admit i know sweet fa about him,just going on posts above

 

[AlexWolvesHD]

I like the look of Boubacar Traore, gives me Kante vibes, good engine, covers ground quick, high press and intensity, solid defensively. At 20 though not sure he is quite ready to jump ahead of Donk or Moutinho in the pecking order.

Not sure he can offer the ball carrier type midfielder we apparantly want though, perhaps he is to add depth, 5th choice if we did sign a Nunes-type midfielder then allows Cundle to leave on loan and Ronan to be sold, then next season steps up to 4th choice when Moutinho leaves and Cundle returns to 5th choice.

Either that or we plan to stick with Neves and Moutinho as a starting 2 and he comes in as 4th choice.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Better than no one and I suppose he would hopefully learn from Moutinho and Neves .

He’s inexperienced. Would be another good young prospect but I don’t think he’s yet got the sort of quality we need next to Neves - especially as the likes of Palhina and Nunes have been on the list.

Am still annoyed we didn’t sign Palhina.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Ronan is the issue.

Is he CM number 4?

If yes, then one B2B midfielder would do me.

If no, why have we apparently decided to keep him and not sell him or send him out on his (what seems like) 20th loan?

Is he good enough to make some appearances for us? I don't know - no evidence - but I refuse to buy the "only St Mirren" argument because ex-Mirren McGinn at the Villa has done very nicely in the PL, thank you very much

 

[Zico]

Newcastle in for Ramos & will make a bid soon, as per the most reliable man in Portugal

In that case I always thought he was rubbish.

I think he's only been kept up until now because of lack of depth. Lage not using a single sub until the 86th minute suggests he doesn't think he's good enough to play at this level, which I would agree with, I really think he'd struggle physically.

 

[Starsky]

We need a CM of that profile. Desperate for legs and energy.

No massive gamble at the prices Bill quoted above.
