The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[Haggstone]

No one said that did they? It was in response to a comment saying that celebrating on social media is what football is all about. Which is total bollocks.

Thats unfair, it was a photo of a guy holding his kid, both with wolves tops on enjoying a moment together.

Such a shock! Maybe if we'd all thought more positive thoughts they would've signed a CM

 

[YoungWolf]

I can’t believe we aren’t signing a wide attacker. So baffled

So cut wages and basically a 0 net spend. The Fosun way.

 

[Wozza]

From a midfield of Neves and Moutinho to getting the custard pie from Brownhill. That squad is completely bereft of quality and more worryingly, leadership. Brownhill would have at least brought a bit of that.

So I make us about even in terms of squad numbers then? Six in and six used meaningfully last season gone?

Obviously quality remains to be seen.

Bit risky when you think of the definite quality we've lost and the fact that we finished 16th and the league is probably better this season

 

[Jabbawolf]

What started out looking and sounding like an exciting window has ended up feeling like we have a green, imbalanced, dull squad - a slow, turgid relegation seems very likely.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Such a shock! Maybe if we'd all thought more positive thoughts they would've signed a CM

Said it since the start, Bellegarde and Munetsi are seen as the Brazilian backups.

Would rather we'd have kept Traore and/or Doyle.

 

[Alan]

You seriously underrated Rayan, man!!

I’ll go as far as to say that I now agree we should have at least tried to more for him. But no further!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

What started out looking and sounding like an exciting window has ended up feeling like we have a green, imbalanced, dull squad - a slow, turgid relegation seems very likely.

With no leadership at all.

Are we allowed to moan now, or do we have to wait until the end of January now?

(Not aimed at you JW)

 

[Jinky]

Well that’s your lot, folks. For all those who wanted to wait til the end of the window, let’s be having you…

No centre mid.
No wide attacker.
Downgrades right across the squad.

Surely no one can defend them or the window? Or do we need to wait til January now?

Edit: sniped by EP

Stepping stone FC, I get that's the reality of where we are but is it the height of our ambition?

Damn new Nélson just dropped

You've missed off Traore out on loan? Maybe the guys in charge have forgotten we sent him out too?

A bit?

I still dont understand your point, we HAVE waited till the end of the window and are now making a judgement. Its a bit rubbish. Whats your point?

 

[Templeton Peck]

Binning Traore looks a remarkably stupid decision.

 

[Jinky]

I’m interested in hearing the opinions of those who wanted to wait until the end of the window. It’s not deep.

 

[basher]

From my point of view I feel that Wolves will be bottom by the time the January window opens and onto our next manager.
