The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

Assuming Neto goes perhaps:

Sa
Semedo - Yerson - Dawson - RAN
Gomes - Lemina
Cunha - ? - R Gomes
Larsen​

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm not so sure Neto is going to go, there simply doesn't seem to be the liquidity in the market, and most of the sides where he'd want to go have more pressing needs (plus everyone is going to be wary about his injury history). Widely reported today that Brentford are having to slash away at the asking price for Toney...which they kind of have to do as they already paid for his replacement in advance and he can go for free in a year's time. We don't have to do that, we've already sold one player for big money, we haven't committed to a large outlay on anyone else (relatively speaking) and he's got plenty of time left on his contract.

Yes, comfortably so

Fair enough but I dont think so.

Late to the discussion here, but I have a slightly different outlook on Podence. What we the fans want is of little significance in the grand scheme of things. The majority of us think he's a pain in the arse with a terrible attitude. But if the management want him to stay, he himself is open to it - and his teammates want him around (and they do seem to like him, he's always getting snapped at social events with them), then he'll be welcomed back in with arms wide open. For me, it's a case of 'what's good enough for them is good enough for me'.

If he doesn't come back and upset the applecart (and by all accounts, the reports have been positive so far), he can definitely offer something to the squad. So long as he doesn't get pissy if he doesn't start week in week out.

After last season and the state of our bench for long periods, I'm happy with all the senior pros we can get (apart from Fabio - he can piss off).

 

[Del Woppio]

He's an absolute cunt and I can't stand him. I'd much rather have him for a season than have £5m and have to bring on a teenager who should be on loan in league one

 

[Kenny]

 

[Tredman]

Thats a bargain

 

[Del Woppio]

Team Talk though

 

[The Bear]

£50m better be the baseline before addons.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm not sure they have that kind of headroom if they're also bidding for Gyökeres and have to pay for Raya now too. Will need to clear some players out first and if they're genuinely after £25m for shite like Reiss "Sheyi Ojo II" Nelson then they'll be waiting a while.

They have genuinely wanted him for years though, going back to before he got that injury at Fulham when Nuno was still here.

 

[Lycan]

It'll be more than £50M guaranteed

 

[Kenny]

Luckily for them Lopetegui wants him and West Ham look like they will offer close to the £25m

Unreal if he does end up going for that, he's barely worth a quarter of that price. One decentish loan at Hoffenheim, 5-6 years ago (and that fizzled out towards the end), that's it, that's all he's ever done and he's 25 this side of Christmas.

 

[AndyWolves]

We don't need to sell Neto at £50m do we? Depends on how much Neto wants to move I guess

 

[Kenny]

That bit.

We will have a price we have told Jorge and won't stand in his way if someone puts that bid in.

Expecting Arsenal to bid £1m if their Bentley attempt is anything to go by

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Yeah, there were games the season before last where he came off the bench and demonstrated a completely shit attitude. And games where he started he rarely did enough to keep his place IMO. So what you had was a player not good enough to start games, and played like a cunt when he was a sub.

But changed games.

 

[Jinky]

As per my comment about two weeks ago, I think we’ve got a gentlemans agreement with Neto to let him go if a reasonable bid comes in. He’s done his time here.

 

[Dinowolf]

Trouble is, that half of his time here has been spent on the treatment table.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Think the chat from the training ground when he was in his pomp is that it was “expected that Neto will leave in the summer”, but I think the second injury has put a little spanner in the works from all parties as there’s less interest, the price will have come down and we’ve unexpectedly sold Kilman
