Summer 2026 Transfer Window Thread

We should not forget that there is a gulf in quality between the Prem and the Champo. I therefore think Sa, Santi, Krejci, Wolfe, Joao, Andre, Mane, JRB, Lopez, Rodrigo, Mosquera, Hugo would all be decent and maybe some others e.g Armstrong. That said, I recognise that a number of them will want to move on. If we can keep most of those named above and add some attacking flair plus a RWB we would have a decent chance of auto promotion imo.

But we won’t keep ‘most’ of them. And the ones going are all the better ones. Santi, JRB, Rodrigo and maybe Mosquera are all you’d think would be here come September.

Thing is, from your list Sa, João, Andre, Lopez and probably Krejci won't be here.

Regardless anyway, they may be 'decent' abilitywise in an inferior league, but the mental weakness and gutlessness has been apparent all season.

This shameful squad needs gutting as much as possible in the summer

As @Lycan pointed out the other week, for the first time in years and years we're going to have to play much more on the front foot next season with a much higher defensive line. So in terms of Santi Bueno, he isn't going to suddenly be able to run or turn, so what then.

That gulf in quality exists between a half decent premier league teams and the championship. Wolves are not a half decent Premier league team.

I thought it was nice to read a positive post

Phrases like “they’ll be decent” or “will do alright, in the championship” are the problem, if they go back up you’re just creating a yo yo squad at best.

Yeah, but the team that got us promoted was very much the outlier, it's rare a team gets promoted with a PL squad like we did. Building a promotion team like Sunderland and to a lesser degree Leeds did and binning them off when up is more realistic.

It's also absolutely catastrophic if it doesn't work.
