The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

Hwang is not a good footballer. Sell.

and yet another team happy to splash £20m+ on him. Doubt Marseille are overly fussed by the marketing element because they have wrecked that department by signing Greenwood

 

[NicholasG1973]

£21m according to Keen.

That’s about right, even a little generous.

Take it. Move on.

 

[HanDoJin]

If the Korean market (tourist visitors to Molineux and overseas sales) brings in more than £20m then what exactly are they buying???

Season tickets to hit that number I guess

It would be stupid to sell Hwang right at the point we switch systems and give him a proper striker to play off. Yeah he might not have the same season or score as many but then again he might look even better in that system. And I don't think it will reduce his value if he doesn't score as many. We can just plead mitigating circumstances where he wasn't the main striker this time round.

Plus, we don't have anyone as reliable in that wide left forward position. Bellegarde and the new lad Gomes are still unknowns, and while Cunha can play there I'd rather have him behind the striker in the No.10 role.

Edit - I forgot Podence but we don't know what's happening with him yet.

Our total turnover is £168m of which only £30m is gate and commercial income. I'd be amazed if having Hwang is worth more than £2m per season commercially.

 

[The Bear]

FM23 says my Korean lad brings in an extra £1m commercial revenue per season.

Generous? Outsiders will just look at the numbers. In his prime, South Korean international, scored double figures in the Premier league for a mostly poor performing team. Seems cheap for a striker these days.

 

[Haggstone]

If there are players out there who can make a similar or greater impact for less than £20m we should just sign them and keep Hwang. The guy has his limitations but no way should we be accepting that sort of bid for him.

Marseille after a forward partnership of Channy and Cunty

 

[HanDoJin]

Season tickets to hit that number I guess

If a season ticket is £780 they’d have to flog 25k of them to make £20m!

 

[Alan]

Well, I’m pleased.

His fitness is an issue but so is Neto’s. Like it or not he’s probably the most instinctive attacker we have in terms of when and where to move, and his finishing is generally class (I mean, no-hopers don’t generally score goals like his against Newcastle).

30m I would take, no less.

 

[C.L.D]

I know he scored 10 last season but he could just as easily score 2 next year and then be worth nothing. He's just not good enough at football for me to believe there's not a large amount of luck holding it all up

Where I'm at. Maybe try and negotiate with Marseille to see if they can go higher, but if we're keeping Neto, selling Hwang for anything in that price range feels like a no brainer.

I never would've predicted he'd scored 10+ goals last season too, so what on earth do I know.

 

[Kenny]

Ok Season tickets and some Sudu running tops

 

[HanDoJin]

Sudu tops at their retail cost, or their worth??

 

[HanDoJin]

FWIW, I wouldn’t sell Hwang for £20m because he has this incredibly weird, spooky ability to be in precisely the right place at exactly the right time. A lot of teams would kill for a 10 goal a season tap in merchant

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've given up on working him out as a player because he'll just forever confuse you if you do that.

I'm not averse to selling him but his market value is way higher than what Marseille have offered, and with Kilman gone for a stupid price we're under no pressure to accept any lowball offers.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

If we turned down anything close to £30m I think we’d regret it by the end of the season, quite possibly a lot sooner. Players who can trap a ball further than Joe Hodge can kick one might have a golden spell once in their career but it won’t last.

Not many on here, me included, wanted us to even make his loan permanent. If we can make money on him we should imo. Still think last season was catching lightning in a bottle.

As others have said, we won't though due to Shi's misguided none footballing reasons

 

[BillyDee]

10 goals a season is great, but is it when they offer little else?
Cash in and get another one for the apparent tourists.
