Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[VILLA MOLE]

Would we play him further up the park ?

Possible. I think Guilbert is good and wouldn’t want him to leave.

12 months ago we practically needed to get a whole team assembled before the season started & I've no doubt we paid a premium for the pleasure.

We are looking at 4-5 players this season & 2-3 of them quality. I'd rather wait until the right players are available & nobody truly knows how far down the line we are.

How about we stop shitting our pants until there's a need to.

Right back
Box to box midfielder
Winger
Winger / Forward
Centre forward

That's about £120m less any players we can shift.

Have been pondering and now think signing swift and cash would be making a fast buck for reading and Forrest.Literally.

When we play away the latter will be our Man in Black. Literally.

[frank black]

I like Matty Cash, good player and better than Guilbert. May play more forward though

[kippaxvilla2]

He destroyed us along with Lolly at home in the 5-5.

Aaron Mooy has left Brighton to move to China.

Quite like him; decent player - would have been a decent midfield addition.

I've seen Matty Cash a few times this season and he's looked good. During the season he was expected to go to West Ham. Lolley must be in his ear telling him big a club we are. £12m would be decent value in this market.

[Dante Lavelli]

Trouble is, quite rightly DS said he didn't want a Douglas Luiz situation where he signed just 2 days from the start of the new season. But that's starting to unfold again I'm afraid.

You can twist that logic the other way too:

Let’s not sign Luiz because he was not available at the start of the window.

John Percy suggesting Watkins deal will be done possibly next week

[N'ZMAV]

Cash and Watkins may be good signings; but we could do with a bit more experience in there too.

I can’t see that link or is it in the Cash story?

[SoccerHQ]

Other than Pep or Klopp there isn’t a manager in the league that would be a ‘draw’ so as a stick to hit Dean with I can’t see it - £’s & location yes, wanting to know that the best player isn’t gonna be sold before you join yes, mgr profile no

We see a lot about supposed targets but we along with the journalists no diddly squat as fact

Interesting opinion. Would Wolves have signed the players they did in 17/18 if Paul Lambert was still managing them?

[OCD]

The Mendes connection played a big part in those moves.

The Mendes connection played a big part in those moves.

Of course it did but Ruben Neves played for Nuno at Porto for example and I'm sure Joao Moutinho has come across him before.

The previous season with Lambert and whichever other joker was in charge Wolves were certainly getting in a lower calibre of signing, Andi Wiemann was their main striker for half a season so that gives you an idea of what Lambert could attract.

Also seen James Rodriguez strongly linked to Everton, he played under Ancelotti for Real Madrid.

We'll sign some players eventually but looks like it will be another summer of taking punts on guys from lower leagues and hoping for the best.

Worth noting our best two signings last summer had started 25 + games in premier league (Heaton) and La Liga (Doug). Surely we need more players of that calibre to push us towards top 10 in next few years. Leeds signed a first choice La Liga striker yesterday so it's not that hard if you sell yourself enough.
