The Transfer Thread 2020/2021 - Everything not Wolves

[PuntsWolf]

That Raul figure is consistent on every site. He was a squad player in the Portuguese league, he's going to be on half of that before we signed him. Those figures will also be basics, so you can add goals, league position and starting bonuses to it

He wasn’t signed at Benfica to be that though? He been at Atleti and Benfica all for big money. He’s not going to have been on 20k.

And even if he was, you don’t sign to a PL club in 2019 for £35m and be on 40k. It just doesn’t happen.

For example you say we paid Cutrone 60k and he isn’t actually any good and had never proven to be. Doubt a 19 year old youth product at Milan was on anything substantial.

On Cutrone, we spent all Summer chasing him. It wouldn't surprise me if what got that over the line was the money.

As for Raul we know that we heavily incentivise our players for success, it's how we avoided FFP issues in the Championship. He'll be on more than £40k a week, but a lot will be based on his and the teams success and I believe that figure will be in and around his basic

If they are heavily incentivised, then that’s believable. Fair play us actually signing players willing to do that and not the mercernaries. Moving forward I’m not sure the top players needed to improve us will take that when they can get stupid money elsewhere.

I think a lot of our recruitment focuses on avoiding the mercenaries, instead wanting people buying in to the project, and wanting to play football.

Bournemouth accept a £41m bid from Man City for Nathan Ake

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s massively over priced.

 

[Del Woppio]

Good value that, he's a good defender and a good footballer.

 

[Carrotdude]

That’s a solid signing in today’s market I’d say. Great move for him as you’d assume he’d be first choice.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, Pep has had it with Stones and Otamendi is crap. Fernandinho did a good stopgap job but we know that isn't his position. Garcia looks promising but he's not ready to play every game.

 

[YoungWolf]

I think City still want another centre back right? Think Ake means that everything doesn't collapse for them if Laporte gets injured, especially as he is left footed.

Could see Chelsea going for Stones (not sure it would be a great fit though). I still think Nuno would mould him into a fantastic defender in our system...

Let...it...go

Sneaky feeling he'll be at Leeds next year

Arsenal have also been linked. If Leeds don't get White again he is a similar style of defender though!

 

[BGreenWolf]

That's a nice chunk of change for a Championship team. Good business all round.

Stones would be a great player for us. Can play either side of Coady or even in his position. Seems like a decent bloke too judging by the All Or Nothing show.

Doubt he'd come and he'd be on more than £100k I'd have thought.

His tabloid reputation isn't exactly decent bloke

 

[Kenny]

What is his tablod rep?

 

[Tony Towner]

What is his tablod rep?

Left his wife and kids for an already pregnant lady who had previously been the closest kind of friends with a number of other players in the NW area. Then got his lawyers to serve gag orders on her

 

[White Wolf]

I'd have Otamendi here over Stones every time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Otamendi is woeful man!
