January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Paul]

Every time someone plays well, the gossip columns start up, we've had RAN, Neves and now Killman all in the last month

 

[Alan]

Good defender in scouted by rich club shocker.

Of course the big boys are looking at him.

 

[Jinky]

Rangnick had probably never heard of Kilman until we turned them over the other week. He can sod right off - we've got an absolute gem on our hands with Max.

Well Jinks he gets priced the same as Maguire if he does go...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't get who's even doing recruitment for them. Woodward has gone and the guy replacing him doesn't seem to have the same kind of overarching power. Fletcher has a sort of DoF role but he's also on the bench during games now. Rangnick is highly unlikely to be manager next season and they haven't explained what his "advisory" role is going forward. Unless they're playing their cards extremely close to their chest, they don't know who the new manager is going to be so how can you be signing players ahead of that?

Weird club.

Anyway I don't think they actually are interested in him beyond the way anyone else is, if we decided that someone we paid 50p for would now realise an insane profit and let it be known he could leave for the right price, they would be interested (so would dozens of other clubs). I don't think we are going down that road, not at this stage at least.

That's letting United off easy.

My guess is that they're betting on Rangnick to do the recruitment of both players and coaches, and theoretically if those two groups are put in place by the same guy, they should fit together.

Obviously in the real world that isn't nearly so simple, but I can kind of see the thinking there.

Wolves cut out the middle man by signing Chiquinho directly from Estoril for just £3M, potentially saving tens of millions of pounds & making this a remarkably low risk transfer. Other clubs should follow suit. A wealth of talent outside Portugal's Big 3. https://t.co/T36eUAmeap https://t.co/9ckUxKpsor

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Percy reckons we've turned down £15m from Spurs for Adama. We want £20m.

There's the price tag you gimps, you want him, pay for him.

 

[Tony Towner]

£20m+another 5 in add ons according to The Mirror

Cheap skates. Pay up or fuck off. Still cheap given what he can do in the right company and system

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's just stupid, like his default approach is to go low. But no two situations are ever the same.

- We don't need the money (at least I bloody hope not)
- We'd get at least £15m in the summer even if he scored 0 and assisted 0 for the rest of the season
- We have less than a fortnight to spend that money, even if we're looking to spend it in another area of the team

He missed out on Grealish for what would have been below his value through dicking around (different circumstances with Villa then, but if he'd just paid what they asked then they'd have got a bargain. But that wasn't enough for him, he wanted a super bargain).

Even as someone who derides the "stop faffing around" type of supporter, his approach would really annoy me if he were running my club's business.

 

[BillyDee]

Epitomised by not getting in a main contractor to run building the new stadium, and the fuck up that became...

 

[Jinky]

If they offer £20m they’ll get him. But no, Levy has to push his luck again. Blokes a bellend.

 

[big mean bunny]

It seems like a classic championship Manager 3 tactic, offer a lower offer than you know is needed, hope the player moans and the A.i immediately transfer lists him for less than you just offered.

 

[Dinowolf]

Spurs have shown interest in both Dembele and Kessie.
So I don't think their interest in Traore is too serious. Probably just trying it on with a cheeky bid.

 

[Tony Towner]

Neither of those are playing right wing back

 

[Throbber3]

Levy is an absolute tool

 

[Dinowolf]

Neither of those are playing right wing back

They could probably do a better job than Traore would.
What's wrong with Doherty? Heard he had a stormer against Leics..

 

[Carrotdude]

It’ll happen on deadline day, it’s how Levy works.
