Summer 2022 Transfer Window

Bruno is very good at talking about what he wants outside of the months of January and August

Isn't that when he's supposed to do it, rather than wait until the transfer window rolls around?

"Physically capable"

Hmmm, does that mean kieffer Moore?

He has made no secret of the fact he wants a target man as an attacking option. Moore, I hope, was just a last minute panic and we will be a bit more picky when we do move for one.

All about the options innit. We don't, and haven't had for years, a proper option to bring on a target player when chasing a game. No problem with us signing a "lump" to sit on the bench.

Especially if Paulinha is one of the repalcements - unless the other is Kante its not going to be good.

Seen quite a few Wolves fans rate Paulinha (not so much on here), don't get it, not seen loads of him but when I have, apart from one decent half in the Euros, he's been very ordinary, poor man's Alfred N'Daiye for me, I'd rather Cundle played more than sign him.

I don't want us to sign a lump at all, I get the idea in theory but it never works out as just a player to use as an option when chasing the game for 10 minutes, when they play it just encourages shite lump it up front and hope stuff.

Depends on the "lump"...if its a Kiefer Moore type, then good god no man. A decent target man though, someone who feeds off balls into the box and gives us something to aim for is not a bad thing IMO. Obviously we also have to improve on our crossing, as most of what we put in would miss a 12ft 6" player.
Not saying we should go all Burnley here and I presume Bruno is not planning to do that.
 
You could argue Kane is a target man, in as much as he's likely to get his head on the ball if a cross is swung in. Hopefully it's that more all round profile he's talking about rather than a 1 trick pony Moore type
 
That's how I'm interpreting it. Replacement for Raul - in terms of his aerial ability and physical presence - rather than "any tall lad with a big head".

Don't know if that also extends to thinking about replacing Raul altogether, but with two years left on his deal from the end of this season you do have to wonder if he's included in the conversations underway about refreshing the squad.

Not sure about the Cundle bit but agree that he’s not been very impressive on the admittedly few occasions I’ve seen him.

I do think this is basically what Fabio will become, though his heading at goal still needs a lot of work. He's definitely a good focal point though.
 
As if we'd pay more than a clearly minted Newcastle United... 🤔
 
Think he’s played 27 games this season so fitness hasn’t been as much of an issue. Obviously not happening though

Well, he signed the deal when they weren't minted, and because he's got ages left they don't need to give him a new one.

We won't be signing him though.

My hair is only just starting to grow back after Adama leaving, I can't start pulling it out again with Adama II

He's everything Adama should be but isn't. If he wasn't so injury prone I think he'd have had at least 10 goals this season and be looked at by teams further up the food chain. Ultimately though we just won't spend the inflated fee that is attributed when buying from Premier League clubs so it's a non starter.

He's scored 5 in 27, not sure how that scales to 10 goals without injuries.

He's nothing special, very similar to Traore in style, think he benefits that he tends to play more on the left cutting inside so he doesn't isolate himself like Traore often does. Looked best in a shit team where the plan was little more than give him the ball and let him go, never seen much from him to suggest his game would be elevated by better team mates.
 
He’s fast, skillful, excellent dribbler, can actually shoot between the 3 white posts. He’s also a pretty intelligent footballer who can create things and link with teammates but wasteful at the same time. Probably similar to Podence in that regard but more of a direct threat
