Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Footy-Vill]

Both are very different, we would need both.

Both would be amazing. Two really tremendous players. Youri and Moura that is.

Agree. Those 2 would be most welcome.
SG looking to shift 3 players out though.
Hopefully not Bailey!
Hopefully El Ghazi was one so that would leave 2...
Haven't seen or heard anything about Leander Dendoncker as he's available from Wolves and he can cover defence and midfield. Other clubs are moving in on him. But wouldn't put it past us to try for him.

My Chelsea contact tells me interest for Douglas Luiz at £25m for Gallagher or Broja from them on loan
Other clubs offering only £20m trying to push Chelsea
Not sure what's happening really.

[ASHTONVILLA]

He isn't a Wolves cast off, he has had plenty of game time and been a good contributor to their rise up the league in recent seasons.

Like Luiz at Villa, Wolves have a player that has not signed a new contract and will leave on a free at the end of the season. He will offer more soidity next to Kamara than Luiz ever has, and can also play in defence if needed. Not a signing to set the pulse racing, but certainly one that might bring more out of the rest of the team.

[Percy McCarthy]

The Wolves bloke is a pretty good player. Relative to our current midfielders he gets better.

[sid1964]

He will add height to our midfield and is a defensive midfielder (which is what we need) I am told that he has scored on average 1 goal every 15 games

Underwhelming, but lets give the guy a chance - I am sure when we signed Des Bremner the same was said about him.

I have total confidence in our ability to change that!!

[eamonn]

Dendoncker is a big improvement on Nakamba and might actually make us harder to get through in midfield. Decent signing if we get it over the line.

Imagine comparing him to a guy who never plays. Superb post!

*Sigh*. The point is, if Nakamba had Dendoncker's talents, he would be a starter. This guy will give us the presence in midfield that we are desperately lacking.

[Toronto Villa]

Whatever happens today these aren’t going to be Steven Gerrard’s players. He might not even be in the welcome photos. I am sure he will be gone next week

[SamTheMouse]

Isn't Dendoncker quite a well-built, athletic lad?

If so, he'd fit into our midfield very well I think. Probably just what we need at the moment.

[mallo]

Good passing stats, good blocking, good aerial duels and good clearances - on the upside he's a good defensive mid. Not a worldie but does the hard work breaking things up.

what’s his ball retention like
if he can’t pass/control/ keep Possession of the ball it makes no odds what type of physical specimen he is

first half last night was like passing a Firestone around, is he going to help there in that area
I don’t know he might be fine, I’m want good footballers not just big ones

[Tom_Mc9?]

What a wank signing that is. Sold to FC Ankara in 2 years for £1.5m.

Not sure they boast too many Belgium internationals at FC Ankara.

I know most things are pretty shit at villa right now, but there’s no point catastrophising everything. He’s a useful addition to a midfield that’s our weakest area who can cover on defence - where we are lacking bodies at a reasonable price.

[mrfuse]

reports are Douglas Luiz is pushing to join Arsenal, he wants the move. Personal terms are not an issue.

[HolteLower]

I think Luiz is one of those players who will be absolutely fine in a better organised team with better players around him. Just watch he'll score against us sure as. Dendonker maybe OK but he's not really an upgrade - another OKish sidegrade - we've had loads of those over the years - it's not the step up we need to challenge higher up the league as promised.

[nick harper]

Any centre halves or strikers we could take off Arsenal if we were to let Luiz go? Nketiah would be good.

Today's going to be one of those days when you press your face against the shop window at all the nice shiny toys you'd like your Mom and Dad to buy you.

All your mates keep coming out with lovely stuff, but you know in your heart of hearts that you're not going to get anything even though Mom and Dad have got the dosh.
