The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

Kid shit.

 

[Langers]

I was really hoping Gomes would sign as he sounds awesome, but nowt we can do if his club have decided to act like this. We move on.

 

[jd1981]

Disappointing but a good window so far

 

[Wolvensam]

I very much support us not upping our bid now!

 

[Del Woppio]

If we're only looking at an uplift of less than 20% or a change to payment terms, just do it and get the player. He's incredibly highly rated, and we'll almost certainly turn a profit on him, and we're another step to seeing Joe Hodge go out on loan. Yes, it's shady shit, but that happens when dealing with South American clubs. £17m will look like small change in a year or two

Then you get bent over (even more) every time you try to do a deal. Don't pay more, set a deadline of the weekend and move on

 

[Alan]

Lose-lose. We've done the "just pay more" thing, with Fabio and Semedo. It's been an albatross for each of them.

Different situation. There's only one reason we paid the fees for them we did

 

[Alan]

So we were on the hook to Mendes instead of Flamengo. Either way we paid over the odds.

Agree. If a deal was agreed and they've reneged on it for an extra million then I'd just not deal with them again. Gomes might be a good player, I don't know but it's not a position we are immediately desperate for a player in. If the player wants to come he can ensure the move here goes ahead, if not then we should just move on.

 

[Del Woppio]

Imma be digging these up when PSG sign him for €132m in summer 2024. I'd never heard of him two weeks ago, but I'm Del Woppio, and you either agree with me or you're wrong.

 

[AndyWolves]

Depends how good we think this guy is / will be. I wouldn't want us to lose out on an exceptional player for a relatively small sum. There must be a value we think this player is worth to us, if fla want more than that then we move on. If we think he's worth a little extra then I guess we pay it.

 

[Tony Towner]

And the next team who wants a little extra? The one after that?

 

[AndyWolves]

Theres no guarantee they won't do that anyway. It goes back to whether we think the target is worth what the selling club is asking.

 

[Kenny]

How do we increase our bid if their guy is going "nananananana can't hear you"

Can see where this is going

 

[Kenny]

Just checking but @Deutsch Wolf would you accept the club setting up a similar loan deal that we did for Traore?

 

[Alan]

God, club executives are idiots.

I'd pay them to get him out of here. The shit baddie from GoldenEye fuck.
