Summer transfer madness thread

[Matt Collins]

Hutton will do for me. I like his commitment and I think the criticism of his quality/game is over the top. At least he shows some passion and some bollocks.

He just runs head down for about forty yards before either:

a) delivering a massively overshot or underhit cross
b) passing to a defender
c) literally just runnning straight into the opposition

[Steve67]

I guarantee the first thing he will do when he plays against us is to crock Kodjia.

[JUAN PABLO]

His crossing is woeful. Having Hutton get into advanced positions and routinely hit the first man or over hit the cross.

yep then out of position while the other team attacks

[JUAN PABLO]

I hope de laet gets fit , hes a very good player for this level.

Hard to argue with any of that if you've spent the last 5/6 seasons watching him. I can't think of a player that's literally made me want to pull my hair out as much as good old honest Alan

I'd love someone to give me his Villa career stats. The assists one would make for fun reading i'm sure.

I will however miss the comical stampedes up the pitch and the inevitable shit cross/ball loss leading to all kinds of chaos behind as he trudges back down the field

[Matt Collins]

I remember he scored once but I don't remember an assist - who scored reckons he's got 4 in his villa career

All of that has some truth but he lifts the team and the crowd with those efforts. If we had 10 others showing a similar level of commitment then he would not stand out but unfortunately we don't, or at leat haven't had, and that is why he is appreciated.

And the 'Scottish Cafu' chant is in no way ironic.

[The Fish]

We def spent more and because of how bad we were the year of relegation we didn't have likes of  Sissoko, Wijnaldum or Townsend to bring in £60m+ which in all fairness to Rafa was invested well.

Think the outgoings will dictate any other signings for us whereas the relegated clubs will still have some £'s to wield before the window closes, hopefully their recruitment will be as bad as ours was last summer

I was shocked at Boro's largesse and expect them to do well, but just through knowing a few I know that the mackems have sod all to spend. Even though they've sold Pickford for a big fee, and shifted the likes of Borini and Mannone, their owner seems to be putting those sums towards managing the debt.

Where have Wolves found all this money from?

[tomd2103]

I think that could well be it until later on in the transfer window, possibly the last day.  The focus over the next couple of weeks will be on getting a side together for the start of the season.

Wolves are owned by one of the richest companies in China - if they get in the Premier League, they could blow most teams out of  the water with their spending power!!! I would imagine that only the Sheikhs at Man City have more money than them?

When are we going to see some of these players leaving us? - I doubt any will leave because we overpay our lot, and it is too easy to stay with us!

Gabby my guess is that he will sign a new 2 year deal by the end of September  - he is Steve Bruce's golden boy!

[Drummond]

Hutton for all his commitment provided one assist last season. As a player who often gets caught out too high up the pitch, that's bloody awful.

He just can't cross the ball properly

[stuart445]

How are Wolves not falling foul of FFP they spent a fair bit as well last year didn't they?

They are now sponsored by the company that their owners have.

Makes you wonder why Dr Tony hasn't done that if he's so concerned by the FFP doesn't it

Exactly, so he should stay in bloody defence.
