Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[robleflaneur]

We would get battered even if we spent £100 plus million in the summer if we go up. Miles away from a competitive squad. We need some players who are not simply loaning a load of names, but are our own (even if that is loan to buy), that can grow together and become a team. Wolves have proved that good scouting, ambitious buying and a manager with attacking intent can be successful.

See the sun are stirring up that Tammy wants out to go to a prem side. Good as he has been I am a bit shruggy about him going back, because he won't be here next season and I still think we will score goals without him.

Bruce left us in a worse mess than when he took over.With the fixtures we've just had and the injuries,I think we wouldn't be too far away from the bottom 3.But that's the past and with this board and manager we are heading in the right direction and normally playing very watchable football.

Wouldn't be overly confident of Kodjia or Hogan providing those goals. Wouldn't be surprised if neither of those two were still with us come the end of the month.

Abraham flopped last time in the top division. Think for his development he would be best of staying with us rather than another lower league EPL side on loan. Don't think he would be anywhere near good enough for Chelseas first team.

I wouldn't say no to a Hogan-Maupay swap deal.  As for Kodjia, I think there's goals in there but he is such an individual player that i think Smith wouldn't mind losing him if we can get a decent replacement.

he is the opposite of a team player
he is to football what Geoffrey Boycott was to Cricket

he does some good things and he can be tricky
but you can’t trust him

His 10 minute cameo at the end of the WBA match is right up there with the worst I’ve ever seen
it was disastrous

[Matt Collins]

I find the Kodjia / boycott comparison pretty hard to compute

But I agree he's a real maverick and not a consistent team player

He's immensely frustrating

The problem surely would be Hogan's wages?
Kodjia is unlikely to attract much interest whilst being so inconsistent.

Both had great ability
Both played for themselves

Hogan and 15 million might buy Maupay.

Replace Hourihane with someone who can defend and set the tempo for the passing and replace Hutton with a proper left back and we're set, literally everything they've done has been those 2 leaving gaps.

Reports we have had an offer accepted for Kourtney Hause at Wolves. Always quite liked him when I have seen him. Let fitted too I think, 23, and a decent size.

All my Dingle pals are saying that he is a good player, quick, good on the ball and unlucky to be second choice since the Coady to sweeper experiment went so well. Would be a good signing as long as he's only costs us a few million. Has also played with Jack and Tammy at England youth level so there's hopefully a relationship already there

[mr underhill]

TBH I think Eze is a very good player, would really like to see him at VP

[PeterWithesShin]

All I know about Hause is he's played 10 minutes of league football since May 2017 which doesn't fill me with me confidence.

[mr underhill]

best not to write him off even before he joins

WM were reporting it after the game.
