The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[Huxley]

I have been a loyal supporter for 55 years.I. Lived in south London until I was 20 and then moved to a town 10 miles from Wolverhampton. In my early years I imagined that people north of Watford were inferior to Londoners but I grew up to realise that people are just the same.Wolverhampton town is not my favourite place but there are some beautiful places to the near north and west.We are FFC no matter where we reside.

Many players that are new to the country want to go where the rich are - affluent people typically populate with others that are similar. London can be a huge positive for those with new money and who don't know any better... Likemany 24 year olds.

A good analysis!

But then according to this, why isn't Hamburg a superpower in football. Behind London, probably the wealthiest town in Europe. As a premier league footballer you could play for Huddersfiels on a cold Tuesday night, jump in your or hired private jet and and be in Monaco enjoying the beach on Wednesday morning. I think it more home comforts/links to your home country. If you know you can get home cooking like at mum's 5 minutes away you are more likely to choose to live there than Huddersfield. So London clubs (and Manchester) have a massive advantage to attracting international players.

Sky sports saying we have enquirer about cm seri of nice. Chelsea and Arsenal also interested and nearly joined Barca last season so I doubt this will happen, but nice to be linked to that level of player

If true that would be quite the coup.

Nice to see that we're being linked with big names if nothing else.

Yep, Jean Seri would be quite a signing!!

[Porthogs FC]

Looks like the Khan's are pulling out the chequebook to ensure we're around next season. Imagine getting just 5 of the names we've been linked with? We won't have then ready for match day 1, but by 2 or 3 we should have a much improved on field team.
Nice to have an owner worth 40,000 times more than I.

Lots of rumours about players from France lately: Seri, Bissouma, Le Marchand, M'Vila, Niane, Plea, Poundjé, Krychowiak & Grenier.

I know Plea, Marchand, Bissouma and Seri have been linked here, are the others also linked?

According to the rumors we're buying half of Nice apparently.

Yes, in various degrees. The M'Vila rumour popped up today in French sites, us and Palace looking at him apparently. Adama Niane has been linked by some African sites and Poundjé's name has popped up a few times, could be a recycled rumour from last year though.
Grenier and Krychowiak, who I missed in my original post, were also linked to us a week ago or so.

i;m sure the new manager there, Patrick Viera, will be chuffed that he will loose half his team this transfer window (to various English clubs).

WOLVES LAUNCH BIG-MONEY ZINCHENKO BID

Wolves have launched a club-record £16m, bid for Man City's Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The wing back has been made available by City and Wolves are closing in.

Zincehnko made 16 appearances for City last season, eight in the Premier League to allow him to claim a medal as Pep Guardiola's side romped to the title.

He spent the 2016-17 season on loan at PSV, but struggled to make an impact and last season was a breakthrough year at the Etihad.

However, City appear willing to let him leave with Wolves ready to offer him more chances of first-team football.


may be a replacement for Cavielero

I think we may have interpreted the point differently. I took it that those with new money who know no better go to big cities where the wealthy congregate and implicitly suggested that the more thoughtful might choose to go somewhere more salubrious - like say Munich or whatever its UK equivalent might be. I know that it doesn't always follow and big cities like London, Manchester etc tend to have the better clubs but I liked his angle. On the other hand I may have misunderstood him.

We seem to be mentioned in all the media outlets about who were are interested in,but no official bids apart from Cavaleiro,unless they keeping them quiet.

We could go for him instead. Clearly cheaper and looked very good when I've seen him.

Not only did I hope the cheque book would come out this summer but I expected it. But I also hoped/expected it would have already come out by this stage. So whilst its mildly pleasing to see us linked with these players, because generally there's no smoke without fire, it has to be balanced against the cold reality that pre-season has started, we still haven't signed anyone, and these are just rumours.

Some people are comparing apples with pears, Wolves realistically knew in March that they were going to be playing in The Premier League next season whereas we only found out on the final weekend of May,
Some people need to chill out a bit, this will be the greatest transfer window that our club have ever known existing transfer records are going to get obliterated,  at least 8 will come in and at least 5 will leave,
Strap yourselves in were going on a rollercoaster.

Cardiff didn't take time, and have ended up with 4 Championship players.

I'd rather take our time, and get linked with much bigger prospects.

If we don't get a move on we might be playing with 11 championship players.😒

St.Etienne midfielder and ex-Sunderland star M'Vila is reportedly on Fulham and Crystal Palace's shortlist.

French outlet Foot Mercato have claimed that newly-promoted Fulham are going head-to-head with Crystal Palace for the signing of St. Etienne midfielder Yann M'Vila.

The 28-year-old tough-tackling midfielder only joined Les Verts in the January transfer window from Russian side Rubin Kazan, but is now said to be interesting the Premier League duo.

M'Vila has become renowned as somewhat of a journeyman, failing to live up to his huge potential as a youngster coming through the ranks with Rennes and then Inter Milan.

The 22-time France international's career derailed, and he was forced to try his luck in Russia with Kazan, where he joined Sunderland from on a season-long loan during the 2015-16 campaign.

A star performer at the Stadium of Light, M'Vila failed to earn a permanent deal and returned to Russia. But he has now begun to show that he can live up to his previous potential and that has alerted both Fulham and Palace.

The Premier League duo are not alone in their interest for the French midfielder, though, with the report claiming Chinese Super League clubs are also keen on M'Vila. He has a contract until the end of next season with Les Verts.

Seri would be a crazy crazy signing for us. Think they've got his release clause wrong as was about £25m last summer or January.

Either way doubt we could afford him or tempt him to come to us over barca, Chelsea etc

I dunno. Admittedly Chelsea play in the decent part of town. But Barcelona? Pah! Bit like Wolverhampton only with wobbly churches.

"Seri's clause is €40million (£35million) and it is valid until 15th July," the player's agent confirmed last month, via the Express.

"After that Nice can ask for any amount they want."
