Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

[El Guapo]

Signed Ryan Bennett from Norwich. Anyone know much about him? Always thought he was alright at this level.

Ryan Bennett? His name doesn't sound Portuguese enough for Wolves.

 

[HarvSFC]

Paul Lambert signed Bennett for Norwich too.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Yeah we should have kept Lambert tbh.

Honestly feel like the club is just fucking with our knuckle dragger fans. Rumour Lambert is going, KD goe mental kicking off and demanding answers, owners wait 2 weeks before sacking him, they then hire a Portuguese guy who has a gold ultimate team card, fans moan about a glut of foreign mercenaries...club almost immediately announce the most typically sounding and looking CB you can get for this division.

Random twitter/instagram source has apparently claimed we've bid £8.5m for Tom Ince.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Phillip Ofosu-Ayeh close to signing from Eintracht Braunschweig. Ghanian international right back.

Both he and Ryan Bennett are free transfers, so looks like the bulk of our transfer fees will be spent on attacking players. Exciting for us I suppose.

Surprised Derby are willing to sell him, he's exactly the type of winger we need but I think he'll cost north of 10M.

If we managed almost 11 million for Jeff Hendrick I want 15 for Tom Ince!

Certainly one of few I'd like us to actually hang on to but if Rowett wants to raise some dosh to spend he's one that'll be out the door. One of, if not the best out and out winger at this level.

Just as well it's utter bollocks then Luke!

He's not very good. He's very slow, makes silly mistakes (like against Fulham this season when a freekick comes in and is drifting out for a goal kick and he pushes the striker and gives a penalty away), can't deal with long balls over the top and gives away so many free kicks for pulling players when competing in the air. He is decent enough at the last ditch stuff, he'll put his body on the line and isn't afraid to put his foot in.

He also once told an Arsenal fan to meet him outside for a fight on twitter once.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Ah, a bit disappointing, I thought he was decent to be honest, but I guess there is a reason why you didn't renew his contract

@ wanting to meet an Arsenal fan outside for a fight... he will get on with our fans if he has a poor start...

I think there is a probably a good player in there somewhere. He had a lot of potential when we signed him but hasn't developed at all. I'd say a big question mark over him is his actual desire to fulfil that. Seems much more interested in stuff outside of football.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Random twitter/instagram source has apparently claimed we've bid £8.5m for Tom Ince.

Either Lee Johnson and Steve Lansdown have been on the piss or that's utter rubbish, neither would surprise me.

We've been linked with Jamie Walker, a fast winger from Hearts. Wasn't very good on my Career Mode, as if that means anything.

 

[SF_]

I'd be interested to see how much Fulham bid for Callum Robinson in January if Tom Ince is worth £15m.

Same position as Ince, similar style, 4 less goals and 2 less assists but three years younger.

 

[HertsWolf]

Ryan Bennett? His name doesn't sound Portuguese enough for Wolves.

Who? Riano Colostomi Baggia Bennetto? As Portuguese as they come, him. Anyway, he's for our loaner team. Players we loan out to people like Forest and Bolton.

 

[HertsWolf]

Why do all our foreign managers look the same? I mean, no lie, is this the same fucking bloke?

 

[SUTSS]

We've signed Marley Watkins.

 

[KevinMcallister]

We've signed Marley Watkins.

any truth in Howson wanting out? strong rumours are we are after him

wouldn't be a bad signing for us

 

[HertsWolf]

We've signed Marley Watkins.

Good signing for you.

 

[Craig]

We've signed Marley Watkins.

Would have loved to see him sign a new contract. Been well known he was pretty much gone since January. Still put in 100% in every game since then though. Can't compete with the wages unfortunately but I'm sure we'll give a good go of finding another adequate replacement someplace most other clubs won't be looking.

He'll be a good addition to most teams in this league so a good bit of business for Norwich.

 

[El Guapo]

Kodjia to Fenerbahce on loan...

http://www.fotospor.com/haber-fenerbahcede-kondjia-icin-sozlesme-surprizi-254667

Says that he has a clause in his contract allowing him to go out on loan if Villa failed to get promoted.

If it's true, still wouldn't happen anyway being out injured till October/November..?

 

[SF_]

Would be pretty amusing if they spent £30m on a pair of strikers and neither are playing 12 months down the line.

 

[MagpieBee]

I'd take Hogan back if they don't want him?

Alan McCormack has joined Luton on a free. Good luck to you Macca, great servant and a pretty good player.

 

[SF_]

Forgot about Hogan, make that £45m on three, although i'd expect him to feature quite a bit this season.

 

[SUTSS]

Yes and No. I think the headline that the press have given it is a bit misleading if you read the story behind it. Essentially the story seems to be that we offered him a new contract and he said he wasn't ready to commit as he would rather finish his career up north closer to his family and would be 31 when his current contract expires.

Now that might mean that we try to cash in this summer but I think we'd want at least £10m and I don't really see a team willing to pay that for him and I don't think it's him actively wanting to leave at any cost so not sure he'd kick up much of a fuss if we rejected a couple of bids. If you have made the play offs and been promoted then likely it would be different.

Xia's rubbished it. That's good enough for me.

 

[mossypne]

Sean Maguire signed from Cork, joins us at the end of July.

 

[SF_]

23 and has bagged 19 in 20 this season, the Irish League seems a decent standard based on the Dundalk pair we signed.

He also managed 7 in 33 for Accrington, which doesn't sound so prolific.

 

[Whitenotred]

Howson - he's Leeds and he knows he is. Just what we need in MF ... at the right price.
