Summer 2020 Transfer Window (Extended Version)

I'm not quite sure why so many people feel the need to panic. I think two consecutive 7th place finishes and the best team in my lifetime means the club deserve a bit of slack. It's almost as if some people need to find something to complain about.

If we're still struggling for signings towards the end of the window then I'll be concerned but for at least the next couple of weeks I'm just going to sit back, relax and see what happens.

With all due respect I feel you are really missing the point here. Nuno publicly stated that we needed to strengthen the squad for the start of the season ( well he said start of next season but thats here now) So far we havent. We have removed two players who many wanted improving on but as we have the depth of a paddling pool there is a cavern between the first 11 and the back up . I think that is what most people seem to be concerned about. If BAS was not the answer last year he surely is not the answer this unless I have missed some stellar performances on loan somewhere( I havent I am sure)
 
In order to progress beyond the 7-10th side we are we have to be looking at players that are going to be attractive to top 6 clubs with PL history and reputation. It’s not worth buying a RWB who is as good as Doherty, a defender that is as good as the current 3/4 and finding a back up to Raul is probably harder than finding someone to replace him. We also won’t just hoard players “just in case” as that goes against the ethos of the club.

The season hasn't started yet. Have some patience. Everyone at the club knows we need players and we will sign them. I just hope they are the right players.

Who is BAS? Ashley-Seal? What's he got to do with anything?
 
I think there's some clever usage of language going on where people are either calm and patient or panicky and entitled. You could easily flip the association and rename them complacent or concerned.

I don't think seeing problems necessarily means you're entitled, or don't appreciate how good we have it; for me it's the awareness that being where we are is fucking tough, and it's even tougher to get to the next level.

It truly took it out of our small squad last season, so when I say they need support for us to sustain and improve, that's a recognition of how well we're doing, it's a desire not to see the work undone, and drop back down to where we've been for the majority of my Wolves-supporting life.

Make no mistake, that drop can happen, Nuno and those good players will leave one day, I just hope its when we have the foundations to reinvent, which is what most of that top 6 have been doing for years.

I don't want to look back and see that missing out on Europe last year, maybe because a tired squad didn't have the backup to get over the line, set in place a chain reaction that undoes a lot of our work. I don't want Doherty not being replaced adequately and then that leading to a Neves or Raul looking elsewhere, or losing patience with the project. In spite of how well we've done in the past few years we're still newcomers to this party, and these fine margins count.

That's not being panicky and entitled... Maybe over thinking or being fatalistic!

Mentioned as a first teamer earlier in the thread.

Although Who is BAS? Ashley-Seal? is accurate.

Not sure I've seen BAS mentioned by anyone (although I had to skim read a lot) and it's mostly been Campana
 
Ruddy

Bennett Coady Kilman

Buur Dendoncker Neves Vinagre

Neto Campana Jota/Podence

Would be roughly the team in the league cup I guess?

Then with (those currently not out on loan) Sanderson, Perry, Shabani, Ashley-Seal amongst the subs

Not a 1st teamer though but an option on the bench should we go with the back up players in the League Cup. Properly stretching the point to get him included as a 1st teamer
 
Some of Twitter is really good, some of it is really bad. There isn't much of a middle ground there.
Twitter is as good as you make it. Follow who you want to follow. Ignore the rest. Then it's perfectly fine.

You can’t put the start of the season in bold, and then complain that we haven’t signed anyone before the start of the season, surely?

Ok

And who is back up to Raul?
Bonatini?
BAS

The defence rests
 
Our second string would struggle in league one. Wake up and smell the coffee. We need some quality and depth

Fair enough
But if we sign someone this weekthey won't be ready for season start will they?

BAS

What are you dribbling on about now?

Has anyone said BAS or anyone in the U23's or unwanted players are a back up for Raul? Has everyone on here for 12 months been saying we need a back up for Raul? You should be an MP, you have a brilliant talent for twisting words and finding an answer for a question that wasn't asked. Don't be thinking you are some sort of cyber hero because you are the only one in the world who has spotted we are short of a few players.
