The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Deutsch Wolf]

Thing is there are no talks as such.

He's out of contract in 9 months or so and Gladbach have given up on him staying. So he won't play for them any time soon. They've placed a modest (by 2023 standards) fee on his head if someone wants to take him now.

So either we spend money that we obviously have or someone else might.

I'd be surprised if he picked us over Everton if he actually had a choice to make, but we might make that choice redundant by not actually bidding.

Bye, Matheus.

Not for 60 with add one

What about 62?

[Wolvensam]

Looks like Podence has unfollowed Wolves on Instagram and removed all mention in his bio.

Hopefully on his way. Bad little egg.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don't feel that Nunes will necessarily be a success at City, I wouldn't be confident of hitting the add ons, hopefully it's more loaded towards up front fee.

However, as said, if all it's going to do is make the balance sheet look better, then what's the point anyway?

Brownhill, Cresswell and Johnstone are play off chasing championship targets.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think Cresswell will happen. RAN isn't leaving so what do we want with 4 (including Toti, and not even counting Jonny) LBs?

 

[prawnking]

Let's hope it's a better deal than the Jota one

I’m all for it if it means we get Elvedi and a couple of others, but as mentioned before I’d be surprised if any of it got reinvested - the £80m-odd we’ve accumulated so far hasn’t been apart from tossing Kilman and Sa new deals.

That'll work I think.

We were all happy with the Jota fee at the time. The issue was that in retrospect it appeared to be on finance, which we then blamed for our future suspected cashflow issues (which may or not have been related, and may or may not have existed).

Pretty impossible for cash flow to be an issue for us this time around with all the sales and no signings.

Just got an auction alert for ‘Less than 5 minutes to bid on the Max Kilman…’, but my hopes were dashed when clicking through.

Most Wolves fans (probably not on here) would have kept Adama over Jota in a binary choice at the time if we had to sell one.

Jota got tons of stick in his last 6-9 months here.

It wasn't the fee anyway, it was spending it all on Fabio and Hoever. Two absolutely ridiculous transfers.

 

[C.L.D]

Re-signing Semedo, Kilman and Sa this window screams wanting to hold onto current assests because they know (Mendes/Nunes was always on cards as leaving) it's going to be harder to replace with better quality players.

 

[Wolvensam]

Yeah, I’m not entirely surprised we’ve only kept Nunes for a season to be honest. Didn’t really jump at the chance to sign for us and very much felt like a ‘stepping stone’.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We had to do Semedo in fairness. Can't let a £27m player walk for free for no reason. Especially with no other proper RB waiting behind him (Jonny is very sadly done, Dexter ain't ready for the PL yet, someone doesn't fancy Bolla and I'll have to trust them as I don't think I've ever seen him play).

Kilman and Sa I can't explain as neither needed or deserved a new deal.

 

[Wolvensam]

I don’t think any of us can fathom why we turned down £30m for Kilman. Would have been entirely profit in a window where we apparently need it. Guess it must be related to the homegrown quota but that doesn’t explain the new deal.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Someone at the club (and it's not the manager as we've had four of them in the last year) rates him very, very highly.

I can't explain why, he's a lot of things I dislike in a centre half. And none of the things I like in a captain.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Kilman and Sa I can't explain as neither needed or deserved a new deal.

My only guess is Hobbs has played too much Football Manager and thinks giving them a new contract “boosts morale” or stops them being “unsettled” and therefore makes them play better.

You could argue the same for the captaincy as as in FM world giving the captaincy to. new signing pisses off the squad so gave it to the an old guard member.

Dawson and Lemina are the clear captains on the pitch and it’s not even hidden. It’s almost like the refs are aware of it too.

 

[Wolvensam]

Reports that the Nunes deal includes £5m add-ons which would make it £63m in total. I don’t think there’s much chance of us not accepting that.
