The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[thisisgil]

Ok, I'm going controversial,
Do we really need to take a punt on a fullback (mainly RB) in this window? I accept Semedo and Jonny have had some appalling games this season. Not sure why, whether injuries, not being arsed, lack of confidence or just completely confused by Lage coaching methods.
Last few games both have looked more like they have for the majority of their Wolves careers. Too risky to trust them?

I see it as needing defensive cover to replace RAN who may be utilised as a forward now.
Jonny and Bueno covering left / Semedo and A.N. Other covering right?

 

[Del Woppio]

I do think we need a rightback (though I'd also sell Semedo straight away if we did get one, while he's still woth *something*) but ultimately it's still probably 4th on my priority list

 

[prawnking]

Could be that Julen doesn't think enough of our right-back options have the attributes needed to play his desired type of football

Yes, it's 10 days since Man Utd

Think this is likely, I quite like Semedo defensively but he's crap going forward.

 

[pr0sl0]

If RAN is considered a winger rather than a wing-back now - and he does look comfortable there - then that leaves us with Bueno on the left, Semedo on the right, and Jonny to cover both sides/RAN to cover left by dropping back if necessary.

That feels like enough cover on paper but then a lot of us were writing Jonny and/or Semedo off entirely just a few weeks ago, so maybe a good game or two hasn't been enough to convince Lopetegui of their longer-term suitability.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

RAN is nowhere near considered a winger yet! Give it some time and I’m hopeful but removing from the defenders list is a bit too much of a jump for me just for now.

 

[Alan]

Semedo is too hot to sell.

And, honestly, Dexter did such a good job against Liverpool that I wouldn't be anxious with him as Prem backup.

One to get you all excited and then trying to work out who the other Hammers player is...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I can tell you who it isn’t !!!!

 

[Keef]

Ooh get Padd being all #ITK

 

[Alan]

Wasn't expecting to see their fans offering up Soucek. I thought he'd done well since moving there?

 

[Johnny75]

One of Benrahma, Fornals or Lanzini would be my guess.

Moyes struggles to get the best out of any of them.

 

[Kenny]

Once he stopped being a scoring freak he settled down to being a bit average

 

[sycophantia]

I'd be ok with Dawson and Soucek for a short term, help us out of the shit type deal, providing they're cheap obviously. Would prefer players with a bit more life and long term though.

 

[Alan]

Dawson and his elbows can fuck all the way off.

 

[Kenny]

Are West Ham likely to sell to a relegation rival though?

 

[AndyWolves]

I'd take Dawson over no-one, but wouldn't be happy about it.

 

[Alan]

Give me Toti over Dawson every day of the week. He may be rash and a bit out of his depth but he's not dirty. Dawson is a thug. I don't want that shit anywhere near the club.

 

[Kenny]

Liam doing his thing...
