The January 2025 Transfer Thread

This guy's on the ball

 

[Jinky]

Some highlights of him pocketing Mbappe.

Would agree, but Lemina isn't one of the best midfielders outside of the top 6. He's probably one of the top 6 midfielders in the bottom 6.

Useful, but definitely not irreplaceable.

Spot on.

A team with Doyle and a half decent CB easily gains more points than a team with Lemina and Totti over the course of a season

Lemina is head and shoulders above Doyle, the latter has yet to prove he's a regular PL midfielder, imo he doesn't have tj physicality for it

 

[Keef]

Wow, a signing 3 days in.
Has jeff popped his clogs?

whoa there, he’s not put pen to paper yet, held the shirt up pitchside, or been seen in Asda long way to go yet

 

[BillyDee]

Looked pretty physical winning the ball for the second against United?

And he'll never get the chance to develop whilst he's being kept out of the team by #Headsgone running around like a headless chicken for ninety minutes

It was against Garnacho who I'd give Rohan Ricketts a chance of winning a duel against. As for the either or comparison we aren't selling Lemina to provide funds for a centre half so it's pointless whataboutery

So long as someone more competent keeps him out the team. He gets walked past. Crowd infatuation with him baffles me. Seems like a decent guy and tidy enough in fairness, but we’re in trouble if he’s getting serious game time this season.

That's the second time that's been mentioned today, how long is the little fella gonna be dining out on that

Perhaps a rewording of this classy lufc chant?

I know he aint reached asda yet, but i bet he's been promised a loyalty points card as part of his wages.

But we are selling Lemina to open up a slot for an overseas CB.

No we aren't. Mosquera being out for the season does that

Sorry this is nonsense, for the first part of his Wolves career was absolutely first class, last season was immense, him and Gomes were pressing and tackling monsters, especially during the 'good' period of GONs tenure.
Doyle has his strengths and is a decent back up but if he's our first choice CM for the rest of the season we probably go down.

So we can't point out his inconsistent and rash performances because he was good once?

Let's sign Deli Ali then. He also had a fantastic season once

Don't think he has been inconsistent, maybe not as good as last season but who in the team has been (Cunha apart) among some poor performances, hes also had some decent ones. As for rash, only a few times, RAN and Cunha have been as bad. Tbf the whole team had descended into a rabble on and off the field under O'Neil.
Whatever you or I think, it looks like he's off, just hope we replace him like for like or Traore steps up.

I’d be unjustifiably ecstatic if we brought Francesco out of retirement tbf

Blimey Agbadou has a massive square heid!

The obvious fix is.

Agbadou-dou-dou, plays in gold at Molineux
Agbadou-dou-dou, hates the scum in white and blue
To the left, to the right, he will break their legs in two
Agbadou-dou-dou, plays for Wolves at Molineux*

*Alternate last line - loves the Wolves and Molineux

Would work great for a Black Country derby but still works in general.
