The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yes. Pretty confident that is happening.

 

[Wolvensam]

The glut of midfield signings will be down to the impending departure of Moutinho and probably (sadly) Neves. Better to do it now than scramble in the summer

 

[Tom Hark]

Have we had a 'Here we go' on Sarabia yet? I'm losing track.

 

[Tony Towner]

No, just the other 2

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sarabia is merely “advanced talks” just now.

Gomes won’t be confirmed/revealed officially until next week.

I'm guessing 'tickets' means paperwork rather than a boarding pass.

or as translate puts it

João Gomes still hasn't received the tickets to board and introduce himself to Wolves. According to a person from the English team, the steering wheel travels until Monday at most. Flamengo are selling the 21-year-old for €17m.

@Keef - if the steering wheel needs help, please volunteer

I'm hoping that 'The Steering Wheel' is his nickname and not just a twitter translate fuck up.

The Liz Truss of transfer talk.

 

[Wolvensam]

I didn’t realise how highly rated Gomes is. He definitely isn’t coming here to bench warm…

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I really would like to hear what Phil Vickery thinks. Gold mine of knowledge on South American talent.

Do you mean Tim Vickery?

“Under former QPR, Swansea, and Leicester boss Paulo Sousa, he is coming on quickly, taking on responsibility as a midfield ball winner with excellent lung power. He needs to calm down a little, but his presence on the field is considerable.”

^small quote from Vickery in the BMail.

EDIT: BMail doesn't know about Oxford Commas, the Philistines.

 

[Templeton Peck]

5m for Sarabia apparently

Don't think Julen sees it as bench warming, think he wants genuine replacements in the midfield, probably full back too as they're such combative and physically demanding roles. It feels like they're going down a similar route to Rugby Union with their 'starters and finishers'
