The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

[Kenny]

Guedes' form = a tap in and a one on one vs the worst team I've seen us play for years

In fact fuck it, extend his contract

Let's be fair...he played v Gillingham and if we had offered him to them after the game they would have told us to do one.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Yeah its bollocks, It's the equivalent of someone head hunting you and sending a limo to ensure you take your new, massively overpaid for your abilities job.

When times are a premium what other choice do you have? You might get lucky and have a charter flight that suits the timeline but otherwise you're hiring a private jet or asking the player for go all Odemwingie and make his own way down to your club in advance just in case. Can only think of one example of that sort of thing being done on the cheap and don't think anyone would want a repeat of that incident.

We haven’t announced Andre, have we?

 

[Kenny]

We haven’t announced Andre, have we?

nope

 

[Squeak]

Chelsea late bid

 

[Squeak]

But seriously... passed medical and now waiting work permit.

From the bbc live page - Dazzling Dave must be have some sock puppet accounts.

Most Wolves supporters will be happy with this transfer window. Early doors signings, then nothing, then a flurry of activity in the final hours. They’ve recruited strength, future potential and solved the issue of squad depth. With Guedes’ form suddenly improving, our season looks very promising.

If anything I’m even more frustrated.


If you look at purely players in and out it’s not a bad window, IMV. The fact we sold 2 key players from last year weeks ago and are dashing around on deadline day is embarrassing. No issue with things happening on deadline day as things move quickly, but it’s abit of a shit show if you’re signing 4..

I do think some clubs do a deadline day dash as the last thing that happens sticks with people, and ultimately it will be ‘omg we signed 4 players wolve ey oui ‘

If they need a job after 15 years on those wages they have probably employed Baldrick as their financial adviser.

Bit phrasmotic?

4 is not really true for today.

Sam Johnstone was done earlier and Andre because he had to fly in but everything sorted.

As it stands just Forbs that is a proper deadline day deal.

The Forest owner says he tries to wait until deadline day because he gets better deals from clubs.

That was my point about the 4. It will be span ‘4 deadline day signings’ and a lot of back patting

Forest owner was signing 20 players a day last summer window tbf

Looking like 3 so back patting will be reduced

I’m probably stupid but I just don’t get it.

Matt Hobbs is extremely well paid to be our Sporting Director and our captain and main CB left a month ago.

So, he’s got a month to replace him with someone equally as good/bad. Not Joe Gomez, not Trevor Chalobah, not Victor Lindelof - just anyone vaguely like what we lost. And there are, quite literally, hundreds of them.

A whole month. And he still can’t do it.

In any other job, he’d be clearing his desk tomorrow morning.

Can't do it? Or has been, without it being directly said, encouraged not to do it?

By the sounds of it we were not looking to replace Max...just sign someone to let Santi go off on loan.

Mosq will be put forward as the Max replacement

The line will be Mosq was his replacement.

On the face of it I would agree, but I doubt it’s as straight forward as that. Being the cynic I am, I’d imagine there are a lot of restraints put on him from Jeff and Fosun about what we can spend etc.

Could be wrong and Hobbs could just be incompetent. Easy to say from afar I guess.

I refuse to believe replacing kilman should’ve been this difficult, unless there’s just something I’m not seeing. I don’t think he’s anywhere near as bad as some, but he’s hardly prime maldini

 

[Alan]

Also, the whole "in any other job" line doesn't ring true to me. But that could be an America thing.

 

[ROVERT47]

Yeah, disappointed we haven’t signed a decent centre back, hope it’s not the cause of seeing us relegated.

I think we’re being too generous - it’s hardly splitting the atom.

You just go and find a central defender that wants slightly more money than they’re earning, and want to play for a better club.

Those parameters might not get us peak Rio Ferdinand but there are definitely a few out there that fit the criteria.

I’m going with gross incompetence.
