The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[BillyDee]

All quiet on the goalkeeper merry-go-round it seems?

Palace have signed Henderson and Notts Forest signed Matt Turner.

 

[Wolvensam]

We’re offering Sa a new deal, aren’t we? So he won’t be going anywhere.

 

[AndyWolves]

Adams means we can keep up the press with fresh legs in the last quarter of games. Also means that, hopefully, Fraser can go out on loan.

He's not our new number 9

You’ve done it now: there’s going to be mutiny when he gets that number!

City won't make a profit on Nunes for me. I think Pep will improve his decision making but the times he just switched off coupled with their squad depth leads me to think he'll be a bit part player before too long.

he will succeed KDB

There's no denying a downgrading in managerial, coaching and player profile since the days of Nuno, and now we're probably not far off the likes of Bournemouth on and off the pitch.

We should be charging nearer Bournemouth prices for season tickets in that case though.

Anyway, still doesn't mean we can't compete OK in the short term, and (if you're really optimistic) this could be a reset with more ambitious investment to follow if we stay up...?

 

[Jinky]

AC Milan have enquired about Sasa but we've turned down the approach.

How stupid have you got to be if you’re on the Milan side of that offer?

“You know who we should bid for? This bloke that’s been out injured for a year, that’s just returned to fitness and scored a couple for his club who literally have two senior forwards on their books. Yeah - I’ve got a good feeling about this…”

Idiots.

... If he increases his output like 1000%

I'm not sure how much of this is a 'reset', it might be, but I think the days of buying Nunes-level players are over for a few years at least. There's no denying his quality, but you can't spend £42m (correct me if I'm wrong) on a player who doesn't hit the ground running straight away: the squad suffers for it. And it's not Matheus' fault, it's just poor, short-sighted recruitment.

A lot of the success under Nuno was loans with option to buy deals on Jonny, Jimenez etc - we tried before we bought. And on the whole we weren't huge spenders transfer outlay wise, more so wage wise.

 

[Tony Towner]

Let's not forget Adams missed the biggest sitter at Molineux last season of any player and in doing so inflicted Lage on us for another couple of games

 

[Johnny75]

Much like Ward Prowse and Lavia’s contributions kept them up?

You'd think Adams was the Kane such is the desperation from fans with no ambition.

If we spent that money occasionally on a 'finished article' kind of player and did it for footballing reasons then it would be exciting and obviously very beneficial, but we've generally only done it out of a desire to engorge Mendes, so even if the transfer tap gets properly turned on again we could do with that changing

Absolutely this. I don't want us to go back to the model of having to convince the likes of Guedes and Nunes to join us.

I'm not saying this model of signing players to pad out the squad is any better either, it's just an enforced transition due to mistakes of previous seasons. And of course it's frustrating - I know a lot of qualms are that we were signing Matheus Cunha in January and now we're signing Che Adams. It is a drop off.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's not an enforced transition it's a choice, has been since Neves left. Let's see what today brings but as it stands we aren't even spending the profit + amortisation of the Nunes money which would be about £21m

 

[Wolvensam]

Sorry, poor choice of wording by me - I meant enforced in that Fosun are reluctant to spend.

 

[Johnny75]

Indeed, over £150m in sales and £12m out.

I don't want to hear anything more about FFP ever again.

Fosun can get in the bin.

Idiots.

There are also rumours they're after Willian Jose......

Cunha and Traore??

On another note, I see Burnley and Forest are in talks for a loan for Origi from AC Milan. We wanted him before so we should be hijacking this

 

[Wolvensam]

I don't think anyone has compared him to Harry Kane, I just stated he scored more than any of our forwards (minus Podence) last season - which is a fact.

 

[Johnny75]

Cunha and Traore??

Arrived last season.
