The 2015/2016 Summer Improvement Thread

[Parkins left foot]

Something needs to be done about the transfer window generally, it is nonsense that a season starts with clubs not knowing whether players will remain at the club. Not just us with Afobe but every club.

Transfer deadline day annoys me more every time it comes round, broadcasters priding themselves on their coverage of all the "action" - signing a contract is not a sport in its own right ffs.:icon_mad::icon_mad:

Would help a bit in that all clubs would have a fixed/stable squad to start the competitive games, but wouldn't stop the furore that goes on just that it would finish earlier.

Also won't stop the Norwich style scenario which could lead to key players being lost just before the window closes & no time to get a suitable replacement in.

Twitter reporting fresh bid for Stearman from Fulham - source seems to be HITC

 

[From Distant Shores]

Should I be suspicious about Kenny Jackett's statement that Benik Afobe will be a Wolves player on Tuesday? What about Wednesday?

I hope that he has just got the dates mixed up like David(Frank Munro).

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

HITC is not a credible source as far as I can see. Right down there with Vital Football.

He said "Benik is a Wolves player, and he will still be a Wolves player after the end of the window" after the Cardiff game.

 

[From Distant Shores]

Thanks. In the getting ready for Charlton video, he said Tuesday.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Definitely a date confusion with the bank holiday messing things about.

Actually been on the ball a lot of times. Certainly better than the mainstream media

 

[Tony Towner]

They are now reporting Van La Parra interest from Leeds and Brighton. They were definitely the first outlet to break the Fulham and McDonald news

 

[FrankMunro-371]

It seems that a few clubs are after a few of our players. Hopefully we won't lose a couple of players on deadline day.

 

[Kenny]

We won't

( unless they are classed as not being part of the 1st team)

It will be a standard deadline day for. A load of rumours, cyber Pant wetting and the 5.30 announcement we have signed a midfielder from Margate for the Development squad.

While we're in that part of the world might be an idea to stop off at Gillingham and collect Bradley Dack?

 

[Jabbawolf]

Somewhere else had Fulham in for Macienne - a move to London may well attract him.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

I'll not believe anything unless Penk says its from Twitter.

Fulham make fresh bid for Wolves defender Richard Stearman. #wwfc #ffc

 

[Kenny]

2 years ago we couldn't give our players away now we are fighting off bidders.

...Which has to be a sign of progress. #GlassHalfFull

Maybe our wage structure has something to do with this. Some of the teams trying to buy our players, have less, or no more of a chance than us of promotion.
