The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Lycan]

Liverpool supposedly joining the Nathan Collins transfer saga.

Where have you seen this?

He'd be fucking terrible for them. Bring it on.

 

[Dire Wolf]

He does seem to have a lot of interest. We might regret this in a year or two.

Now if there could be a Deutsch-approved bidding war for Kilman that would be great.

I feel like Collins has some ability and the physical attributes to be a good centre back, but he lacks the 'nouse', for want of a better word. The thing with centre halves is that they do tend to improve with age and experience so maybe all is not lost for him yet, but it does seem like he won't achieve it playing for Wolves.

Liverpool ST holder asked me about him this morning and mentioned they wanted him. Haven't seen anything online but he was onto the Jota news quite quickly aswell so he could be onto something.

I know the 'CBs tend to mature later' thing is a bit of a cliche, but true nonetheless on the whole, he probably will improve over time but it doesn't seem JL wants to wait and if we're flipping him for 5m profit then I suppose it makes sense. Obviously that relies on us getting someone who is instantly better.

Collins was Irish Player of the Year? How did that happen? Must've played lights out internationally.

Even if he becomes a solid epl cb, if we're offered enough money to make a profit on the player he is now? Take it.

If Collins stays and enjoys a redemption arc this season, I really want to dust off the Jody Craddock song for him

 

[Kenny]

Haven't we rolled that out for Craig Dawson?

An award akin to Derby's Player of the Year in 2007/08. Ireland are the worst I have ever seen them since the late 80s and by a distance too.

Yup. And it makes no sense.

 

[Stan Hullis]

"He played for the shite, but now he's alright"

That makes sense, I'm not sure that is what everyone is singing though.

 

[thisisgil]

I've definitely heard 'used to be shite' and I don't think Dawson has ever been shite tbf.

 

[Tredman]

'used to play for the shite'?

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Fans in getting the words wrong shocker!

Bloke behind me [proper idiot] gets the words wrong to the Pedro Neto song, There are two words sung in a catchy rhythm. One is Pedro and the other is Neto. He manages to sing Neto Neto, Neto Neto.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Once sat next to a guy who wasn't a regular in my BWU days, think it may have been the Doncaster game on the final day of the Championship winning season under Mick. Got every song wrong.

"Ebanks-Blake is going to score the goals"

 

[Tredman]

the amount of people who still sang (doubly past tense now sadly) 'he's nuno santo's man'

 

[The Bear]

I'll never forget the bloke who sat next to me at one game and sang "The Wolf Bank" instead of The North Bank.

I mean, come on its where you're sat you gimp!

 

[Deano]

When Murray started playing in the team I once had a chap near me constantly shouting "for fucks sake Hislop"

I think I'd chalk that one up to plain old racism. 100% knew what he was doing there.

You might be right, Hislop did play in Steve Bulls testimonial for us though (can't remember how far apart that was and when Murray first made an apperance) so he could have just been a bit thick.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Suddenly I’m reliving the halcyon days of sitting in SL3 with Kenny and the twat behind us shouting out “oi Socrates, you are shite” every time Craddock touched the ball.
