The January 2024 "Will we actually sign a striker or just Che Adams/Kieffer Moore" Transfer Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's a good player, he will never fit how we currently play. Best he does well for Frankfurt and we get most or all of our money back.

 

[Alan]

Sometimes a player doesn't fit a league, a club, a manager, or some combination of the three.

No shame in it on any side; it happens. Glad Saša will be getting more football under his belt, and hopefully he can stay fit for a while this time.

 

[SSB]

Strikes me as strange that he'll definitely be back in the summer. I just hope there aren't any complications with their new arrival

I presume he’s invested in the new cafe he’s been promoting on the socials as well, so can’t have been looking for a move away until recently?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a dreadful look when a manager signs a player and doesn't know how to use him or he obviously doesn't fit. Hello Glenn and Frankowski here (especially as we already owned a better version of the same thing).

We're two managers removed from signing Saša so no real blame attached. Gaz rarely used Moore last season for Bournemouth, he just doesn't want a fairly immobile target man.

A shame but best to cut ties amicably and on the best terms Wolves can get.

 

[The Bear]

At least Sasa got two winning goals for us away at bottom half rivals, so has contributed fairly significantly even if it was cameo stuff.

- Forest want Sa. No bid yet and we won't sell without a replacement
- Neto expects to be allowed to leave in the Summer. Jorge working on his options
- Our business will be loans with obligations/options unless we sell (not really anything new there)

We'd better get a club record fee for him. I'm talking 80mil plus.

It'll all depend on if he can get back to something like his early season form and if he can stay fit.
I suspect 80m is a bit high but yes a club record should be a minimum.

 

[Del Woppio]

Can't see £80m, more like £50m I'd say. I know a couple of injuries were impact but they still suggest a bit of fragility. It'll be shit to lose him but he's earned his move and part of the deal in getting these young talents is that we don't stand in their way when it comes to transfers

 

[Tony Towner]

Wouldn't surprise me if it were anywhere between 30 and 80m. It's a Mendes deal so depends what side of the favour we are due to fall.

 

[Carsy]

Usually a chain reaction as well. Neto goes we’ll likely be linked with a couple of mendes clientele. Let’s hope they’re more Neto than Guedes ..

 

[Mel Evo]

Part of the favour might just be getting rid of Guedes too.

Yeah I was thinking in the 50-60 range is most likely, but as TT points out, its rarely that simple these days, wheels within wheels.

EXCLU - Mercato - PSG : Wolverhampton passe à l’action !

Sur les tablettes de plusieurs clubs européens en ce mercato hivernal, Hugo Ekitike a toujours eu un faible pour la Premier League. Et justement, une écurie anglaise vient d’accélérer en coulisses pour tenter de récupérer l’attaquant du PSG.

I’d be chuffed with this. Good player.

 

[Tony Towner]

I wouldn't be offering any player guaranteed playing time, let alone one who doesn't get in our best 11

 

[Wolvensam]

I wouldn't be offering any player guaranteed playing time. He doesn't get in our best 11

Depends on the definition - he would stand a good chance of coming off our bench regularly.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Depends what guarantee they're after. If it's just "you have to use him appreciably more than Leipzig did" (158 minutes in the league) then no problem. If it's "he must start all the time" then no.

 

[Wolvensam]

Yes, I wouldn’t have him if Liverpool want guaranteed starts.
