The January 2025 Transfer Thread

[AndyWolves]

Thought the Coady/Dawson deal was dead?

Probably logistically impossible, neither move quick enough to get to the other club in time for the deadline

 

[Alan]

Maybe he has seen him play though in champions league, or has looked on line at stats and he’s been described that way. ?

By your definition you can’t describe a black players as those two things, is just bloody ridiculous

Not at all; I didn’t have anything to say about comments regarding Emmanuel’s strength or pace because one is clearly evident from his size and the other was plain to see after his first match.

It’s not such an exclusive dichotomy and presenting it as such isn’t progressing anything.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I thought they would have learnt 2 years ago, fuck about in the Summer, hardly spend anything, then have to pay loads and over the odds in January.

We spent LOADS in summer 2022 under Lage

Hwang £18m (technically goes in that window)
Collins £20m
Guedes £27m
Nunes £38m
Kalajdzic £18m

 

[Alan]

Nunes worse signing than Guedes CONFIRMED

Fair enough, I read it differently so my mistake.

Not risking taking them to London this time

Paris is known as the Tettenhall of France afterall

with the obvious exception of Man Utd has a club ever spent over £120m on quite such a pile of shit?

I suppose at least we got our money back (plus a little bit on top) for Collins and Nunes.

I feel sorry for Sasa. None of this is his fault.

You win some, you lose some. It's not like Wolves have their pick of players. Got our money back on some, some just didn't work out, and one we reportedly could've sold for decent money but sadly he's still here stinking up the place.

 

[Carsy]

I've been watching videos and reports on Munetsi and I'm still not sure where VP is gonna play him! Looks to have a goal in him though.

Stroke of genius or a disaster is my guess

Quite excited to see Munetsi. Simply because he is a total ‘RKO OUTTA NOWHERE’ signing. Never heard of him, not even remotely.

Also Zimbabwe isn’t known for their vast away of footballers, except Benjani.

Munetsi is 2nd highest rated Zimbabwean on fifa, FWIW

 

[Carsy]

Will he play him in the front three!?

Right wing. Donks replacement

Used to rip us to shreds year after year

Also Bruce Grobbelaar

 

[Carsy]

It's kind of an exciting, left-field signing though, so I'm curious...

Did you say the same about Fabio

Was BG Zimbabwean? Well, you learn something new every day

 

[big mean bunny]

Not players I am familiar with but will give them the benefit I wasn't particularly thrilled about the Dawson, Lemina signings and then said I'd not resign Cunha if given a do over in the summer. And even with the decline of Dawson and Lemina's end and subsequent transfer today they are still massive successes.

I was annoyingly right about Sam Johnstone though! Before people start doubting if I am a football savant or not.

That was the year we got that £100M loan from the government. What an excellent use of funds that was.

 

[Carsy]

You just hope they learn. That's twice in three years where they've left someone in charge who was obviously out of their depth, on an awful run and didn't have the CV required for this kind of job, it's put us bang in trouble and they've had to spend extra in the middle of a season which is never ideal.

Keeping Lage in his post was worse than keeping O'Neil but both were ultimately rubbish non-calls. We could all see it.

Atleast we’re not ‘on the beach’ by February in mid table obscurity I guess

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, didn't really play all that much for the national team. Not really at all when he was at his 80s peak. But did literally fight in the Zimbabwean Army before he became a footballer.

 

[AndyWolves]

More through luck than judgement though

Although Collins would be alright with how we play now I think

I fucking didn't!
