The Transfer Thread 2018/19 - everything not Wolves

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rodriguez looked awful to me last season. Fudged a few goals but he's nothing like the player he was. Dawson is a horrible thug but he can defend, I'd say £10m standalone for him (not here, he isn't good enough on the ball).

 

[YoungWolf]

£25m for both is overpaying, i wouldn’t go any higher if I was Burnley.

Rodriguez sadly just hasn’t been the same player after his injury. He looks knackered whenever I see him play

What’s the deal with Forest and those two Portuguese lads they’ve signed? Have they got a similar model to us going on?

They have a link up with Benfica. Not sure on the agent part of it

It's Mendes. Forest seem to be using he to try and repeat our model.

 

[Kenny]

Are Leeds aware of this?

Very interesting, needs everything to be right imo, without the right background team and manager they could end up just chucking money around to no avail.

Karanka is not the right manager, he's rubbish.

Their version of Zenga. They have to have a Paul Lambert and then they can go up in 2020.

 

[Tony Towner]

The players have to be up to it as well. Forest had Texiera for 6 months remember and he barely played for them. Following our model could be smart, equally it could be lazy and Jorge is just taking the piss out of a club he doesn't have any emotional investment in.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He has emotional investment in Wolves?

 

[Tony Towner]

He is only emotionally invested in himself, but keeping an investor in his business happy advantages him, so indirectly yes.

He always looks pretty passionate about Wolves when he's in the crowd. Wolves are clearly different to him than other clubs, mainly because our owners could cause him massive problems if he wasn't helpful tbh.

Probably because he can see some massive fees coming from his players at the club

 

[Lord Knows]

Nottingham Forest are reportedly keen on Porto striker Goncalo Paciencia.

Joe Allen ends speculation by signing a new four-year deal at Stoke City

 

[Penk Wolf]

Harry Kane has signed a new 6 year contract with Spurs.

I thought contracts were limited to 5 years?

 

[Lord Knows]

Sunderland have accepted an offer from Middlesbrough for Northern Ireland defender Paddy McNair.

 

[Tony Towner]

Maddison has chosen Leicester over Southampton. £22m that I think will prove well spent.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

A move away from 4-4-2 for them? Not sure where he could play in their standard system, perhaps on the left instead of Albrighton but not sure he has the workrate to replicate what the incumbent does defensively.
