Thats2 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 18 minutes ago, PrimevalVillan said: Thoughts on a strategy of looking at good players surplus to requirements at CL clubs? Seems like there could be some bargains found there. Focus on youth. Dortmund got Sancho from Man City for 8M cause he didn’t see a way into the first team. Chelsea let a young Lukaku go, and Salah, and De Bruyne. Hopefully it’s our path to securing Tuanzebe. I also think it’s our strategy re: Ampadu, who was supposed to get some run in their first team last year only to spend most of it on the sidelines. Their transfer ban and new staff likely makes it more difficult, but it can’t hurt to enquire. I don’t think we’d be in for a straight loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooley22 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 We should try get George Puscas from Palermo.Has been great for Romania Under 21 in the Euros so far.Think he could be a good back up and will probably be cheap enough considering Palermo are going to be demoted to Serie D due to financial problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll speed up when we hit July I suspect there's a whole load of a lot going on transfer wise atm. The Wesley link only came an hour or so before the club announced it themselves so if we do more deals in this fashion then there could be plenty that show up out of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Austin WAS a quality striker. Now, he seems like an expensive reserve that's lost that killer instinct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that we are moving away from this sort of signing now. Maupay or Edouard for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maupay would be the ideal signing for me too but he’s not proven in the Premier League, so it would be a risk, who is Edouard? We can’t buy a team of unproven players that have never played in the Premier League, that would be a recipe of disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how many players do Wolves have that had played in the Premier League before when they got promoted?

(Translated from French so not perfect English.) Baptiste Santamaria has serious touches on the side of Fiorentina, Aston Villa and West Ham. If a sale was made, it could oscillate between 6 and 8M €. Still the cases Jeff, already seriously solicited, and Tait who pleases in Lyon and Bordeaux.
