Vinny Green Balls Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Thought it would be clear now that the club probably isn't exactly revealing true numbers, and relies a lot on obfuscation. I am pretty sure that they are feeding bellends like Edwards horse shit most of the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I reckon it's another Edwards master plan of distraction. We'll sneakily be working on a top RW deal whilst the rest of the footballing world thinks we are targeting a loan CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) I'd bet good money on our next signing being: An international (U21 or senior) Costing between 30-55m Aged between 20/26 60/40 more likely from abroad than domestic Someone we've been fleetingly linked with Someone beyond/top end what we thought we could attract From a club which is vulnerable to us financially (big or small) Someone who's currently earning wages under 100k This is the market we now shop in. Feed that into the super computer and see what it comes up with. Edit: Also include experience in that. CL football, League winners or just plenty of minutes for their age.

Or maybe we actually have long term plans for other positions next year when more funds become available. Still think we are running ahead of our strategy and are not ready to buy the players we want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Some interesting issues being flagged up here. My two pence - Eddie has said he's not that keen on taking players on loan. The way he put it was you don't get a player's 'soul'. Okay, only half-serious, but I think I know what he meant. He wants to see commitment. Re Phillips / Gallagher, we've yet to sign any players from the big six, and I suspect there's some tacit agreement there not to help us out. Phillips is a good player, and I'm not too bothered that he's not broken through at City because he's up against the best DM in the world in Rodri. But whatever, I can't see that happening. I think there's some mileage in the idea of using Gordon as a striker. Apart from making better use of his pace, I think he needs a more flexible, freer role than he gets out wide. And finally, the longer this window goes on, the more I think that the reported budget restriction of £75m to £100m is probably right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The "budget" will be the same as every window. Within reason there won't be one. We'll go as far as FFP allows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon88 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Bailing on Szoboszlai showcases the limitations we face. Remember, the club know we have very few saleable assets, and we still need three positions strengthened. No chance we blow £50m+ on Thuram. just goes to show that wolves can bag nearly £50m selling two defenders they don’t really want, yet we are releasing most of our dead wood on frees or paying them off.
