The January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Sniffer]

Munetsi is 2nd highest rated Zimbabwean on fifa, FWIW

Is Marvellous Nakamba number one?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

More through luck than judgement though

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

I dunno man, I still watch Collins now and he's terrifying, just random nonsense out of nowhere.

 

[Tredman]

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.

Racist Southern Rhodesian army I think.

Born in Durban too, raised in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.

Did not know that. For some absolute unknown reason I thought he was Welsh. Couldn’t have been more wrong!

The Welsh keeper was tother side of Stanley Park

We spent LOADS in summer 2022 under Lage

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

Fair enough, I should have made the point about the quality of spending rather than amount.
Not one of those players had a positive impact on our play, maybe you could say that at least with Hwang we got loads of effort and a few goals and a small profit on Nunes/Collins but that's about it.

Is Marvellous Nakamba number one?

Nope! Tanaka Roberts apparently

 

[Tredman]

I reckon we’ll be the first ever premier league club with 2 Zimbabweans in the same squad.

Phew. Marvellous is so badly named Trading Standards should be involved

Kaching on shirt and ticket sales over there...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kaching on shirt and ticket sales over there...

Jeff hearing that a Wolves shirt there costs $1,000,000 (he doesn't know that's about £3.20)

No idea how the currency is doing there these days but it could easily be 2bn Zim dollars a shirt.

 

[Deano]

Nope! Tanaka Roberts apparently

He's fictional isn't he? Says he plays for AFC Richmond?

 

[Kenny]

You laugh now but next seasons Sudu kit will be benched marked against the number he thinks that is

 

[Kenny]

Marvellous

 

[Carsy]

I did think we it said he had a strong connection with Roy Kent it was abit odd.

I just googled Zimbabwean players in all honesty - let’s hope we don’t sign Dani Rojas. Couldn’t bear to see Wendy or Wolfie get killed

Chucking extra years around now

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

I remember when he arrived at Liverpool Football Focus trailed the section about him as being about a man who fought guerillas. I was expecting to see him wrestling gorillas so was most disappointed.

 

[Alan]

Fair enough, I read it differently so my mistake.

No worries at all, I know my hypersensitivity to such things can and will ruffle feathers.
