The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Templeton Peck]

Both Gestifute clients no less. I wouldn't be opposed to Banza, his returns over the last couple of seasons have been very healthy, Vezo I only know by name but I wouldn't sniff at another CB.

CB? I'm all in.

 

[WsWolf]

I think you're going to be disappointed as Silva, RAN and Kilman are going to be gone before the end of the window.

We aren't going to be able to even field a side are we. Those three plus Nunes, Sarabia, Gomes and Cunha all leaving.

 

[Lycan]

Banza is mid/upper Championship standard.

Don't know much about Vezo.

 

[Sniffer]

Banza is mid/upper Championship standard.

Better than last season then?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Banza is a great name if nothing else.

 

[Lupo]

Banza is a great name if nothing else.

BANZAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I listened to Spiers Podcast and this.

The pair of them are a fucking joke. Figures wrong, smearing players. It's scummy client journalism at its worst

Spiers in particular is a fucking despisable cunt. LL is just thick.

Agree on your point about client journalism but also vindicates your point from a day or two ago about players 'Downing tools' or having no respect for the manager too. Not that it should need vindicating, there's dozens of examples.

Interested in the downing tools part. Could you elaborate a bit as I just can't sit and listen to his monotone voice for long enough to do it myself?

In the words of a great moonfaced songstress, un pessimiste n'est jamais déçu

I love it when you sweet talk me.

But you are right in this case. Fosun are crippling my hopes for Wolves

 

[Johnny75]

He's got nothing on me. I just have 99 self control compared to Johnny's 2.

This is true. The best way I can describe this at the game is in picture form. Which is probably the only thing I'm looking forward to this season.

Liverpool agree £111million fee for Caicedo. Chelsea may (somehow - haven't they spent enough?) try and match or better it.

Meanwhile, at Wolves: one free transfer and lost a quality manager due to lack of ambition and broken promises.

The gap between the 'big' clubs and the rest is just ridiculous. What a way to run a 'competitive' league!

Look at the Chelsea ownership structure and then how many players they've sold to Saudi Arabia at inflated prices they aren't coincidental

 

[Carrotdude]

I don’t think the prices the Saudis paid for the chelsea players were particularly inflated tbh. Caicedo for 110m is way more ridiculous

I'd say Koulibaly was, he's 32 and had a horrific season last time out. No-one in Europe was paying half that for him.

Yeah I guess so, but it was half of what Chelsea paid 2? Years ago and he still had a fairly big reputation. Probably get 10-12 from Europe for him. I don’t think it’s more inflated than Neves if we’re comparing to what European teams would have offered for him

 

[HanDoJin]

Chelsea have been very good at offloading their hugely expensive purchases for giant fees though. It's Liverpools spending that gets me, running massive deficits

The flogged a couple on huge wages too though.

 

[HanDoJin]

They did just recently, true. But their outgoings over 3-4 seasons are dwarfed by their signings.

Wolves can't compete, no, but they did throw £44M out on Cunha and £38M for Nunes, so being competitive there on chucking cash at a player above their value.

Wasn't their an inforgraphic (or just graph/tweet) after the Jan window of all the bottom teams spending in the summer and winter transfer windows? We were 1st or 2nd behind Forest iirc.
