The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[GLASGOWOLF]

There was no panicking about sacking Lage, it was six months overdue, minimum.

I wish we had 'panicked' and then we wouldn't have had to watch his shit football and waste an entire season.

I was one who thought he should have started the season, I was so wrong he should have gone

 

[Loki]

I think we can rest assured there will not be anymore "dodgy" signings in January. Any "readies" we have will have to go on getting someone in to manage the team I presume.

 

[Lupollet]

A couple of older heads, preferably with big gobs, wouldn’t go amiss. Don’t ask me who though

Coady?

 

[Tony Towner]

Can't recall him and wouldn't want to come back. Why would he?

 

[Lupollet]

It wasn’t a suggestion- more an observation on binning him and keeping Lage.

I don’t think anyone could blame him if he jumped ship in January. We’re a mess of a club.

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm definitely taking compassionate leave from work the day that deal goes through.

 

[Keef]

They can explore the deal as much as they want, but the quicker they get to 50 million the quicker they can have him, none of this pissing about on loans like with Traore

 

[Derby Wolf]

Can't wait for murderer Scott to offer to pay Neves' wages until the summer.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

If the £50m is reinvested it wouldn’t be the worst deal as I’ll be very surprised if any other funds will be available. Nunes can play deeper for a start - I know he could now but there seems a reluctance to do so.

 

[The Bear]

I'd be demanding between £60-70m personally. £50m is cheap for a player like Neves nowadays.

Dont think in his contract situation. Our position of strength regarding the fee was the summer just gone.

The problem with that if the report is true is we need to spend the money before we've received it

That’s one problem, there will be plenty more but in principle £50m could give us a net improvement of the team. Equally the people in charge could spaff it on a Hwang and a Guedes.

Love your optimism.

Almost certainly spaff it on a Hwang and Guedes.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I hope we can call in a favour from Mendes (he bloody well owes us of late) and get him to punt Guedes on somewhere else for a small loss before anyone notices what a shit footballer he is. Just throw in that he's struggled to settle or he'd banked on playing for Title Winner Bruno Lage when he signed. Big up his goal tally from last season (the only time he has ever got more than 5 in any top division in his entire career).

I gave him the hilarious moniker of João Mason after his first couple of insipid games but he's actually far worse than that, pound for pound.

 

[Wolf of Ashford]

I doubt we'd even spend it to be honest. Unless we have a major, and quite frankly bizarre, upturn in performances and results, no decent Premier League level player will be looking to join Wolves in January. I don't believe our scouting network is up to identifying any hidden gems but I do think the reluctance to appoint a Mendes manager is a sign that the club are starting to get sick of wasting big piles of cash on his little black book of shite.

So, I suspect the vast majority of any Neves proceeds will be held onto, hopefully to re-invest next season, but most likely held to cushion the loss of revenue following relegation.

 

[AndyWolves]

I think we've already spent it on Nunes and Sasa

 

[Derby Wolf]

Get yourselves ready for a Scotty Special when Neves goes in January...

I don't think it is. Rodri was 60m and he's probably a tier above Neves.
