The Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[big mean bunny]

Traore is one I am a bit non plused on. The two boro fans I know are either way on him too which dont help me make an actual decision. Seen loads on twitter talking about he needs coaching and will thrive , they are aware he was in the Barca system and at a Barca subsidary that has their coaches provided via them, doubt they were making him do hill sprints and nothing else.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's a good point. You're not going to get a better education than he already had. He was at Barcelona from the age of 8.

He's just dumb as fuck as a footballer.

 

[Carrotdude]

At least he started having a bit of an output at boro last season, he’s someone I’d be excited about if we didn’t already have Cav, Costa and Jota

 

[The Bear]

Alternatively Barca wouldn't have kept him for so long if they didn't think he had the potential to learn.

Just had a look at the OneBoro forum and their ITK go to guy said this not too long ago tonight:

"Adama deal not complete but will be soon. Agent is at Wolves... payment of fee holding up a medical... this is only what I have just been told...as per take it as you please"

"Payment to us in terms of how much upfront etc"

"18mil upfront... down to Adama now"

Tim Nash:

. @Wolves have confirmed the signing of full back Jonny Otto, 24, aka Jonny, on a season-long loan from @Atleti, after he joined A Madrid from Celta Vigo.

I understand the signing of Jonny, who can play right wing back or left wing back, ends the pursuit of @ManCity's Olegzandr Zinchenko.

Nash absolutely rinsing Spiers with the exclusives recently.

 

[Jinky]

I'm told @Wolves are still looking to sign another three players before the transfer window shuts.

Thank you and good night, Tim.

I don't believe it until it's straight from the club's twitter.

 

[The Bear]

Thank you and good night, Tim.

I assume he means after Moutinho.

 

[Jinky]

I assume he means after Moutinho.

Yeah. That would fit in with the “6 new signings” GFFH mentioned on here weeks ago.

 

[Tom Hark]

Is Jonny >> Zinchenko, do we think/know?

 

[The Bear]

As a wing-back or full-back yes. But Zinchenko is neither of those in reality.

seems an odd thing to say. If anything ended that pursuit it would have been Moutinho, surely?

I think this forum might be the only place that sees Zinchenko as a CM first and LB second.

He’s a midfielder.

[Alan]

He hasn't played there in over a year.

 

[Boozad]

I wonder why that is...

 

[darlowolf64]

He hasn't played there in over a year.

A grand total of 14 games at full back last season. Before that 9 @ LM, 9 @ RM, 9 @ AM, 2 @ DM and 21 as a CM. For Country 16 out of 17 appearances as a AM/CM and 1 as a RW.

Definitely a midfielder for me who has been put in to the full back role and has done ok

 

[Boozad]

Delph played every game bar 2 last season as a left back, I suppose he's not a midfielder.

Apart from Wolves haven’t confirmed anywhere that he’s signed yet have they??
