The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

Agree on that side but don't agree with your "we have no idea if he has left officialy"...because he has left, officially.
I meant us as fans. There as been no announcement from the club either way.
 
Nelson has been on holiday after Portugal duty, probably been to Jose Sá and Diogo’s wedding and then tragically, he was also at Diogo’s funeral.

As much as we’re sat here bored, starved of information and desperate for news of something ‘interesting’ to be announced. Perhaps there have just been bigger factors at play, such as real life.

I think you may be right, but let's be honest, it doesn't just take weddings, tragedies and funerals for the club comms and transfer business to be highly questionable

We have announced all we can really.

Contract ending but new one offered.

I dont think we will get a "we have moved on" message until he either signs for another club or we sign a RB (we know which one is likely to happen first)

Which is why we should have had a decision by the time the season ended, so it was clear for all parties where they stood. And even more so as 'life' can get in the way.
 
With a lack of information (not blaming anyone here) you have to assume he's no longer a wolves player.

But if he does sign a new contract i won't be considering him a new signing either unless i want to obtusely prove some strange point in the future

I don’t see the point in putting some arbitrary deadline that doesn’t actually mean anything to anyone though.

There are lots of things to be disappointed about by how things are run and especially our squad building(or lack there of) but I just can’t see that this is one of them.

With the players back this week and no idea of who will be their captain again, i just think it's an unnecessary position we put ourselves in, one that could have been easily resolved by now.


We create problems for ourselves that we don't need to.

Deadlines are set in all walks of life, and in nearly every job at every level.

It's ok to say, "Nels deserves to take his time" - but it works both ways.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. My opinion is, it should have been sorted by now. It's another completely avoidable situation and position we've put ourselves in, when we already have a crazy amount of work to do to improve the playing squad.

Who is captain is the least of our problems.
 
We’re not in a position to turn him down whether he makes his decision on 20th May/June/July.

Now that is probably something I can get on board as being a shit place to be in; but other than that I just don’t see the stress of the situation.
 
Yes, of course. You only have to look how important a good captain (Coady) and a bad captain (Lemina) can effect things on and off the pitch

Just because it isn't tangible to us as fans doesn't mean it isn't important.

Football is a team game, where you can be greater than the sum of your parts, a captain is a significant part of that, and a club like us need good strong leadership more than most.

Probably the last couple of weeks are less likely to make him want to stay and choose money over being around home etc - assuming Benfica still have an offer on the table.

And in due course we will have a captain. If Semedo doesn’t want to sign we can’t make him and we’ll have to choose a new captain. Not really sure what your point is? Do we offer even more to Semedo? Do we go and buy new player to be captain?
