Summer 2022 Transfer Window

Spiers says we have an interest in both but are in more advanced stages for other targets.

Also says Moutinho is mulling over the one year extension we’ve offered him on the same wages he’s already on.

 

[Deano]

I think that's pure guesswork from Spiers. Genuinely can't remember the last time he got one right.

 

[Tony Towner]

Speaking of Spiers one thing he does say is that sell before we buy isn't true in the literal sense.

As for the Barca links I think they are all fall backs for if Neves ends up there. De Jong has to go to Utd first and I assume our preference would be cash from elsewhere, if elsewhere exists

 

[Lycan]

Interesting about Man City being interested in Aït-Nouri. I'd imagine that'd be if they can't get Cucurella.

We'd probably know about any sale beforehand as we'd need to buy RAN's former club out of their sell on clause.

 

[Carrotdude]

RAN is alright but he’s nowhere near City level

 

[Lycan]

He's got all the technical ability to play at that level, it might take him a while to get up to speed but I could easily see him being a success there.

 

[Tredman]

He's come on loads in the last season, has the potential to be an absolute top player. He'd look better in a more cohesive attacking team too..

 

[The Bion]

Yep RAN would be terrifying under Pep once he got coached up. His defending has come on a lot already (see keeping Salah quiet last year while he was in his pomp) and he has enough pace and dribbling ability to be dangerous going forward (well, in a team that has a coherent attacking plan, anyway)

Google translate seems to have him settled in already

"Palhinha is a little bit tired of being a Wolverhampton player."

and also dissing him (presume Deutsch is a writer for O Jogo)

"Palhinha was already blinded by a clause of 60 million, but, of course, the market value of the inferior player."

Operation lump?

[Paddingtonwolf]

Despite his size Weghorst isn’t really that type of forward

 

[NicholasG1973]

Whatever happened to Dwight MacNeil?

He looked outstanding at one point? Surely he won’t be playing in the Championship next year?

 

[Tony Towner]

Depends how you use him, his goal the other night wise textbook lump. For the record I don't want him, he was useless at Burnley

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He is technically a lot better than I gave him credit for, but I wouldn’t be bashing down Burnley’s door to sign him. Will probably head off to the Bundesliga I would imagine.

There were games where he looked like Alan Shearer, there were games where he looked like a shit John Fashanu.

McNeil will move you would imagine.

Really good footballer but be interesting to see how any team would want to use him position wise as Burnley were fairly unique in the division for style. He's not rapid but he has a great delivery on him and he's a clever footballer.

 

[Lycan]

Think he could end up playing wing back for someone mid table.

 

[Nando]

Romano now running with the Palhinha story.

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's more palatable at that price. When people were talking in terms of £35m for him (so at least 50% of what we'll get for Neves, probably even higher than that) then it was an absolute no go, because it's a big downgrade and doesn't give you anything like enough change to make a difference elsewhere unless you get lucky.
