Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

[TractorBoys]

You've been robbed there.

Can you send £2m our way so we don't go bust, please?

He definitely has something about him. Scores regularly for the youth team. Hasn't performed when given chance in first team so far.

Deal isn't close according to our local paper as Hartlepool haven't responded.

Our owners put us up for sale on 22nd December, so I doubt you'll hear from them soon. Although if it get's closer to 25th January the current owners may accept any offer so they can take the money with them before we go pop.

Ryan Frederiks - just how good is this kid?

 

[Luke_1884]

I very much doubt it but its funny to see us linked with these sort of players. Give it a year and some tabloid will say Messi wants to move to Dudley.

Imagine signing someone from Milan for £34m when you're in the Championship.

Hope it goes tits up, utterly obscene. A far cry from the old Gold and Black.

Being completely honest if it was your club pissing the league and you had transfers like this linked to Sheff Wed how would you feel?

Only reason I ask is because not long ago I felt exactly the same as you. Call me shallow but it changes your views when it happens to your own club. I don't think you would find many Wolves fans that would swap what we are now to what we were pre-Fosun.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

I'm more offended you call us Sheff Wed.

To be honest I'd be excited but apprehensive, I'm pissed off we've spunked the money we have so far and seen little back in the last 18 months.

The Wolves situation is utterly farcical by comparison, you're a 20-25k club in normal terms like many of us and are spending amounts that could buy a club on a single player, if it goes south it will end terribly. Not going into too much on here but I'd be slightly alarmed.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Better than calling you Sheffield I suppose

This transfer won't happen anyway. I don't even think we would be that reckless. It potentially could ruin the club if it went badly.

Luckily for them it's not going wrong, they are gonna go up so it doesn't really matter, if teams try it and don't go up it could end very differently

^^ fuck that what about Ryan Frederiks?

Shit, and will ask for a transfer in 2 weeks because Swansea isn't London (ask Bristol City fans).

wrong answer

 

[markwwfc1992]

wrong answer

Ok, he will keep your shower up, score at least 3 a game and be part of a defence that won't concede for the rest of the season. Carlos will be hailed as the Messiah and all will be grand down SA1.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Also Kourtney Hause is wanted by Preston, Millwall and Middlesbrough.

 

[JonBCFC]

Ryan fredericks left us after 2 weeks cause he got in a fight with mark little, and lost badly. (Allegedly)

I moaned about your ticket prices on twitter and got told I'd accept them if it meant having a player as good as Forestri or however its spelt by your fans, when you'd just beat us 4-1. Bit rich consider you lot also went into liquidation too within the last 10 years and had spent loads by then that season on that diving little fucker and loads of others.

We've never been in admin or liquidation gamer boy.

We'd spent about 5.5m then BTW.

Edit the difference is we are partly paying for it by our prices, you lot are just going deeper in hock to Fosun, luckily you'll be OK thanks to PL monies coming due.

Doesn't me we have to like it. We moaned like fuck at QPR doing it.

 

[MagpieBee]

To be fair to Wolves, their net expenditure isn't that bad, don't think we can really accuse them of buying the league, they've spent a lot less than quite a few other teams.

Mainly due to the fact they have loanees? They cost nowt do they?

You were as good as in it, your owner had to barter a deal that meant people who were owed money, werent going to get all the money.

But never went into it, think Coop still get a lump if we go up too.

 

[big mean bunny]

So thats no money for them, ever then!

Waheeey! (Sorry)

 

[HertsWolf]

So far, we've spent less than a number of other Championship clubs. We've spent less than Newcastle did last season, we've spent less than half what Middlesboro spent this season. To date, we've spent a bit more than the likes of Fulham, Leeds, Brum and Hull. Have a look at the table below.

As has been said many, many times, it's not about the money; it's about the money on the right players. Whose fans should be more alarmed...Wolves fans looking at the £19.8 million spent, Brum fans at the £15.9 million or Sheff Wed fans after £13.2 million.

We brought in a number of players on frees, several for just a few million each and Jota and Bonatini on loans. Imagine how fucking happy you would be if Jordan "Back of the Net" Rhodes was only on loan and you could send him back now.

It's also worth remembering that Wolves are one of the few Championship clubs that (at least until the most recent accounts) were profitable, virtually debt-free and with a low wages-to-income ratio. While this has undoubtedly changed massively this last financial year, it comes on the back of a vision that would appear (12 points clear at Christmas) to be fairly astute. Spending £34m on a player at this stage does, perhaps, seem a little out of place but the spending in the last 12 months has been inspired.

So alarmed? Actually some of us were alarmed pre-season (me included) and we said as much. But the relentless positive performances, the knowledge that we have brought in good players on frees, loans and small transfer fees as well as the big bucks transfers, and continued investment in the academy set-up have alleviated that alarm. We've also got some fairly decent players out on loan, including Iorfa and Jordan Graham.
To say you hope it goes tits up is childish and actually quite unpleasant. I would never want another club to go tits up. But thanks for letting us know we are just a "20-25k club" as if that is intended to be perhaps some kind of put-down. It's the same size as two-thirds of the clubs in the PL, bigger than some in the top leagues in Germany, France and Italy. Only in this forum, in one of these threads, is the penis-size obsession with attendance of any interest.

So here's an idea....worry about your own club's fortunes. Remind us again...who the fuck did you spunk £13.2 million on? You might want to see if you can take them back to get a refund if it's within the 30 days.

Middlesbrough: £50.1m
Wolves: £19.8m
Fulham: £16.6m
Leeds: £16.0m
Birmingham City: £15.9m
Hull: £14.2m
Sheffield Wednesday: £13.2m
Reading: £13.1m
Bristol City: £11.1m
Derby: £10.0m
Norwich: £9.8m
Brentford: £5.5m
Cardiff: £4.6m
Nottingham Forest: £3.3m
Aston Villa: £2.5m
Sheffield United: £2.0m
Ipswich: £2.0m
Sunderland: £1.3m
Preston: £1.0m
Barnsley: £0.6m
Burton: £0.5m
QPR: £0
Millwall: £0
Bolton: £0.23 and a can of Fanta

 

[SoutheySWFC]

We are a 20-25k club too so hardly a put down Herts. £20m this summer plus what last January? Our 13m includes Rhodes, fuck knows why he can't score outside of Blackburn or Huddersfield!

I'd be alarmed at the Mendes thing, he's not doing it for the love of Wolves, he's got some ulterior motive and what it is, fuck knows.

As for other clubs spending, I saw the Brum accounts breakdown on twitter, that is scary shit given its only to last summer, they look in even more brown stuff than before.

Boro have the parachute payments to keep them ticking over, Hulls owners are keeping that for themselves and Sunderland, well in Short they're buggered.

Perhaps it was churlish to wish it goes tits up and I apologise but the mere thought of a second tier club lumping up £35m makes me a bit queasy.

 

[markwwfc1992]

QPR: £0
Millwall: £0

It's a difficult one. I personally think Mendes could have an underhand deal with Fosun making more of an investment in Mendes's Gestifute agency in exchange for first dibs on his players (An offshore Fosun company have already invested in Mendes' Gestifute, it is how the partnership began). Purely a theory though and one I hope isn't true. All politics...

The Football League have already accepted that there is no conflict of interest between Fosun and Mendes however, and that it is purely a close working relationship.
