The January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Mel Evo]

Yeah, there's 5 days left.

Long time to be ‘locked in’ the fictitious room with Danso’s team. Expenses for the pizzas are going to wipe out the transfer budget.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Yep. Locked in negotiations always makes me laugh. As if these things can't be done in a few hours tops in the age of smart phones. You're trying to buy a footballer not negotitate the Good Friday agreement.

 

[Jinky]

Ah my bad. If we’ve still got 5 days left that changes everything. Panic over!

 

[prawnking]

Give it three days and nothing will have changed though (except a target or two probably going elsewhere and Villa spanking us)

"Confident all sorted by the weekend"

Big day for Team Shitbid then.

It’s like any single thing in life - virtually everything has a price - if you’re willing to pay the money, you nearly always get what you want.

From the outside, it looks like Wolves pride themselves on being “hard negotiators” which, although might have an element of truth to it, almost always ends up with us having fuck all.

I'd say 'stingy cunts' is more appropriate. I doubt it's tactical/clever, more often than not just lowballing

Yep, nothing wrong with negotiating strongly but if you're not prepared to pay the going rate there's no point going through the process.

 

[Del Woppio]

Stingy/incompetent/complacent/arrogant cunts. Pretty much anything works

 

[C.L.D]

They don't have a clue, their only strategy for most of their ownership has been to go through Daddy Mendes for transfers. I think it comes as no surprise that they fumble any transfer window or signings where he's not involved. Jan '23 was a fluke (or he was probably involved more than was publicly released).

 

[The Bear]

Might have some bearing on whether they still want to sign Danso.

We are an utter shambles. Could just recall Chem, would have the same impact.

 

[Kenny]

So if we get injuries and he has to play, we could trigger his obligation and pay £11m for a player we don't want anymore

It's a new low.

Deal should be called off as we can't find a replacement...../s

No wonder Hobbs can't be arsed to go to games anymore.

 

[Del Woppio]

We're such a fucking bunch of fucking jokers

 

[Kenny]

On the plus side....1 of the 4 players sorted with Forbs staying #likeanewsigning.
