The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

He isn't particularly great defensively. Easily replaced.

I think Saiss is WAY better than Kilman, but this line was repeated over and over regarded Saiss, I don't think Prem quality defenders are so easy to find to be honest.

We've had some right chumps after Bennett, Saiss, Boly and Coady.

Kilman is a below average PL centre half, I hope we sell him. All that said given Dawson's age and decline when he did play last season, he is probably our best. Lots of work to do even if Mosquera stays and is decent.

 

[HanDoJin]

I think it was personality we missed when Saïss left, along with similarly loud, experienced voices at the same time.

Kilman comes across as a decent bloke but…

Thanks Lop, you glorious nutbar

 

[Langers]

Wow. £40,000,000 (forty million pounds).

(I think it warrants typing the amount out Vidiprinter-style)

 

[Tony Towner]

Thanks Lop, you glorious nutbar

The reason we didn't take the obscenely stupid £30m is why we've got the even more obscene £40m and in doing so has covered his pay off

 

[Stan Hullis]

I don't necessarily want him to leave but we can't be turning down that kind of money

 

[Wolftone]

Sky now saying offer accepted

 

[Deano]

I don't dislike him as much as some on here I think he's ok. He's not a £40m player though and I think we can replace him for less maybe even upgrade for less. If this means we get to keep a player like RAN or Neto who we would have otherwise had to sell then it's a massive win.

My thoughts exactly. He's far too limited to be worth that much, and he's not exactly a 'young' player either. Very good deal for us assuming it goes through.

Vital we get a CB in ASAP mind you.

 

[Wolftone]

Agent Lop. All part of a cunning Fosun plan

 

[Dire Wolf]

£40m for a decent but flawed CB is stellar business. He might be one of the most frustrating players in a Wolves shirt in the last few seasons for me. Clearly has some ability, but so prone to concentration lapses and defensive mistakes, and absolutely not a leader. Unless he leads by thought transference...

 

[1986]

Who here thought that we would get a second chance to sell Kilman for big money ? We all thought that last year's bid by Napoli would not be repeated , but it has and more .
The key - as stated above in a previous post - is that we might now not need to sell both Neto and RAN ( if that was the idea ) .

Will we buy another centre back now ? We have an aging Dawson , Toti , Mosquera and Santi.........doesn't read great does it . We need another I think as our next purchase .

 

[YoungWolf]

It seems like we do have CB targets lined up (which made me confident we were selling Kilman for weeks now).

I would expect a pair of CB's something like:

Beelen + Mosquera with Dawson + Bueno/ Toti as back up.

Toti may be the spare LB cover if RAN and Bueno left with a new LB coming in.

 

[Carrotdude]

I think most are in the same boat with Kilman, he’s not awful by any means and is a pretty decent centre back. £40m is probably close to double what he should be worth though.

 

[Tom Hark]

I wonder whether this might be hubris on Lop's part, thinking that he's 'seen enough' to turn him into a £40m(+) player as opposed to believing that's what he's worth now. I wouldn't put it past him.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Elvedi's release clause is €10m. I can absolutely see us signing him and it leaves you the thick end of £30m in change. Which you can then either spend elsewhere or use as your nest egg to mean that you only have to accept an insane bid for one of our actual good players.

Yep, the money already committed tells you they already knew we had at least one sale in the bag.
