The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[jd1981]

you're entitled to your opinion, but I think what you have said is bollocks

How?

I think that Vito would look at the 12m 'signing on' fee and £100,000 per week required as totally unacceptable, and so Vito decided not to contact him. Not the other way round. So Brownhills' view of us was immaterial.

Whether we contacted him or not is immaterial, Brownhills view of us is that he wouldn't have joined us anyway. Surely that starts alarm bells ringing?

Nothing we don’t know though I guess

I was just commenting on what JD said.

I think we all knew it, now it's getting validated externally.

And I don't think it's a huge leap for players already here to start wanting away, maybe that's what Andre is thinking

How many of the signings have Vitor's fingerprints over them...first time Jackson met him was after he signed, another signing said he was looking forward to speaking to the manager. Fer Lopez feels like another "project signing" (by project, hope to move on for a profit).

From Moutinho, the best player I've seen in a Wolves shirt, to Brownhill telling us to get fucked...

Lopez is a Mendes 'favour'

I disagree with him on Krejci. If we had signed a central midfielder but failed to sign another left footed CB I'd be feeling exactly how I am now. That was an essential signing.

Agree. Both him and Judah seem strangely oblivious to our clear deficiencies in defence and the potential transformative nature of an upgrade there. They’ve been more than happy with some players there for a long time whose presence is just one and the same as the downgrading they’re belatedly picking up elsewhere. They should be smart enough to see through the ‘boots on the ground’ difference that makes CM problems jump off the page. The rest of it seems fair enough.

Sad state of affairs. I’ve been happy on some level to ignore some of the obvious signs of neglect around the club, but now they all come into glaring focus and it’s not pretty. Hopes pinned on VP building a siege mentality. It’s crazy.

Mail but an interesting read

Inside Wolves' summer: Why insiders are optimistic despite big concern

TOM COLLOMOSSE: For many clubs, hanging on to their star centre-forward and adding another striker for £24million would be something to celebrate.

What does it say?

"The club feel they could have got more for Ait-Nouri?"

Well fuckos, guess who gets to make that decision!

A pretty balanced and fair article in my opinion. Still worried about midfield despite his insistence than Vítor is happy to use Krejci there.

 

[Del Woppio]

This bit is absolutely insane in 2025

Whereas some clubs rely mainly on data and analytics to source targets, Wolves’ approach is different. They retain strong links with Gestifute, the company run by super-agent Jorge Mendes, and rely heavily on live and video scouting.

 

[wanderer89]

Rely on live and video scouting = Jorge says who to sign.

I bet it's VHS too
