Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Malandro]

This time last year we were amongst the biggest spenders in European football. This year they’ve committed to spending another £100 million on the stadium. We are pretty lucky, in my opinion.

Not lucky with what we are watching on the pitch, that’s for sure.

[Drummond]

You have to hope we are pulling a big midfield presence out of our arse in the next 48 hours.

I think most of us are actually hoping for a big arse to be pulled out of our midfield.

[Ads]

We've been spoilt by big arses of late. Barry and Petrov. McGinn, not so much.

[Dazvillain]

Hasn't Dougie's gal signed on for another year with us?

Yes she has. Also the reporter from telegraph isn’t j Percy!!

[Beard82]

If hes not going to sign the contract sale him for 20m, and let sanson or ramsey or tim play

Luiz is a good player, but so are the other three and his pissed us around on this contract for over a year

Sanson is a complete unknown, Ramsey has looked poor for a while, and Tim isn’t an 8. Selling him without a quality replacement would be a diabolical decision.

[Steve67]

Bye Douglas. Not a great player. Three years of largely dull stuff. 20 mill? Sell. But, definitely need a replacement before he goes.

[Richard E]

Luiz is bang average.

[manic-road]

Oh no, we have missed out on Harry Winks.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Well Winks has officially joined Sampdoria

[curiousorange]

I think we'd probably all feel slightly more understanding of Luiz potential loss if there was anything at all to suggest he'll be directly replaced. But Sanson and Nakamba haven't had a sniff, Iroegbunam is still hugely raw and I honestly can't remember who was the last true midfielder we were linked with.

[Dante Lavelli]

Out of curiosity how many games are there before the next window opens?  It cannot be many with the World Cup…

I’d sell if he doesn’t sign a contract.  We need to create some space in the squad and Tim/Sanson should be given the chance between now and January.

[PaulWinch again]

Would be a shocking decision.

We have Nakamba too, and could push Kamara a bit further forward .  I would rather he signed a contract or he goes and we replace him.

I agree selling him without a replacement would be risky - but no more risky than having SJM as the first name on the sheet.

Him going for free when hes been average for the last two years and we have turned downs 20m for him twice woudl be a bit silly in imo.

People are losing their minds a bit here. I cannot believe the owners saw being questioned either and the stimulus appears to be that we're not doing any further deals as of yet, despite a public intention to do so. While Wolves aren't doing any deals as of yet, beyond selling their other defensive mainstay and signing some random forward. Meanwhile Leicester, who again haven't done any deals yet, bar looking to sell their best defender to fund a lesser replacement. Okey doke.

Wolves have spent over 100m including an incredibly promising midfielder at a price 10m over our record signing.

Wolves.

As we stand, we have a weaker squad than the one which was so shit last season.

Exactly. The owners built up a huge amount of credit over the past few years, but the inaction with clear gaps in the squad (both this summer and last) is eroding that. Just because they've done a load of good since taking over doesn't make them immune from legitimate criticism.
