The Transfer Thread 2024/25 - Everything Not Wolves

[Jinky]

So Bournemouth sell a good player it's good business but we do it and we are fucking useless...

Who’s said that?

 

[Kenny]

Who’s said that?

My comment wasn't entirely serious but plenty get annoyed when we sell a good player and lose their shit at the club

Option incase Cunha fails?

 

[Tony Towner]

IF it's true it shows what most already knew that Cunha is underpriced.

Guess the difference is the player isn't pushing so the club can price accordingly.

We whack, say £85m on him, player feels we are ruining his career blah blah player power

we don't need to worry about that because there will be a BIDDING WAR!!!!!

Yeah, we're paying around £10m just to make him feel better. Sounds like the Brexit thread

That stopped him stropping off in January...

Mis-read that and thought Semenyo was 18.

Blew my tiny mind for a moment.

You're getting him mixed up with Ryan Sessegnon

I think in this case it’s more Semenyo being way overpriced. He’s good but not nearly £70m good. £20m-£30m at most.

He was on fire earlier in the season but more recently has not been at that level. I think anyone paying £70m for him will end up with buyers regret.

 

[Alan]

Agreed, 15 goal contributions is good but as you say it’s weighted towards earlier in the season.

I like him but fuck me is the market stupid.

Wrexham have supposedly offered Tom Cairney £50k a week. I hope this is the season peoples eyes are opened to the 'fairytale'.

 

[Carrotdude]

I quite like Semenyo, obviously he’s not a patch on Cunha but I enjoy the fact he takes a ridiculous amount of shots and every single one he twats it as hard as he can regardless of the position or situation he’s in.

Regardless of the money I still think it’s quite impressive what they’ve done, personally. Might just be my ignorance but when I look at their squad it doesn’t scream automatic promotion from league one to me so the manager must be half decent as well.

Reynolds ain’t even that rich so it’s not like they are doing an Abramovich. A lot of the investment is coming from the inflated sponsorship with some doping.

 

[Kenny]

Just the £350m or so the fooking pauper...

He seeks very savvy on the business side. Make enough from sponsors etc to have paid back the £15m he and the other one invested.

Exactly, they haven't broken any rules, but the Disney and United Airlines deals are massively doping the finances. They are paying Jay Rodriguez £15k a week in League One. On the one hand the financial savvy is to be applauded, they took a risk with their money and it's paid of handsomely on and off the pitch, but it's no fairytale, they have bought their success.
