S-Clarke Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Just now, sfc4prem said: That Wolves might also be sensibly taking their time? I'd say taking over a year to sign a player, they supposedly want, is a bit more than just sensibly taking their time! I read the post as a dig that we're dallying on things, which I don't see. We've had a really authoritative window up to now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And bringing in Downes the other way will surely make us stronger, than not signing him and just keeping Kyle. This is a real win - win early on for SR, and the recruitment team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 50 minutes ago, Give it to Ron said: Nixon reporting that Torino and Wolves want Che. Probably best for both sides new start. If Wolves actually wanted him, why hasn't the deal already done? Who's waiting for a better opportunity, player or club? Also, why have they gone ahead and signed another striker? Did they really need two? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read x, z and z are interested in a player I usually take it with a pinch of salt. Te fact other sides haven't signed him raises the question why not?

Dumfries at Inter was one - Inter had him on their list should the interest in Dumfries intensify, but it never did. He's held in decent regard across Europe for what he's done at AZ though.

I don't really get the hate for Che; okay, he is unlikely to ever score 12+ goals in the PL (not many of those around to be fair) but is hold-up play is well above average and based on his stats is going to score 7 or 8 a season in the PL which is not too shabby. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 There have been rumours for some time that the Ryan Fraser deal is all but done, not sure what the hold up is. It’s rumbled on a bit. Rumours about Flynn Downes continue too with a possible swap being on the cards; West Ham allegedly want Walker-Peters. Harwood-Bellis has signed. Sugawara has signed. Taylor has signed. Lallana has signed. Alex McCarthy has signed a new deal. All summarised. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
