Was thinking to why we signed loans does any1 think its to go again nxt season plus we will champions league money aswell?
04 Feb 2025 09:33:50
I think we've done it for several reasons.
1. January is very difficult to get value. Players overpriced.
2. PSR will have been at the back of the club's minds given what happened last year. Don't think they want to be in that position again.
3. With CL revenue and maybe one or two players sold in the summer that should give us significant funds for a bit of a re-build in the summer.
04 Feb 2025 10:12:12
VJ, I think the clubs intention is to go after it’s long term targets in the summer rather than pay over the odds for players in January, better to pay circa £15 million in loan fees and wages now than pay over the odds for players who are probably 4th or 5th choices on your target list.
In reality, I can’t see Asensio and Rashford being the long term targets as the combined salary of the players is over £600k a week which equates to over £30 million a year realistically we can’t afford that level of salary for just 2 players. Hopefully they help us to European qualification which will pay the loan fee commitments, the players reputation is enhanced everybody wins.
04 Feb 2025 11:39:53
Was thinking last night, if our Jan signings stick around for next season, buy Rashford for £40M, extend Asensio’s loan, maybe buy Disasi for around £40M if he does well (or all of them) would you be happy with that being our summer business? I’d add to that a decent back up keeper and go all in to get David on a free, less than £100M spend (on fees) all bases covered 🤷🏼♂️

I think we get david aswell
04 Feb 2025 15:06:16
Can’t see us buying either Rashford or Asensio to be honest I don’t think that the club could afford £300k plus on one player let alone two to say nothing for the potential problems this may lead to in the dressing room. Disasi might be an option but I don’t know his current salary level I think we might look to the European market for recruits in the summer where fees and salary demands tend not to be so high.
04 Feb 2025 18:36:51
Think bigger Mings, if we qualify for CL again (ifs I know) we’re big time again, add to that that we’re increasing the capacity at VP, the sponsorship money will be rolling in too, not a dig at anyone but everyone says we’re a ‘big club’ maybe we should start acting like 1 and especially the supporters ourselves 🤷🏼♂️

SKY Sports put a graphic up which showed we have a net spend of £60m+ in the black.
This is very good news for our PSR and also potential significant investment in the summer. Add to that revenue from the CL and we should be in a very strong position.
I'm a naturally pessimistic person these days which is born from years of high expectation only to be let down. But, I do believe we have the potential to push on for the remainder of the season with the signings we've made this window (cautious optimism).

{Ed's Note - Thefutureisoldgold1 has posted a new article entitled, Wolverhampton Wanderers Player Ratings v Aston Villa
03 Feb 2025 21:13:49
So our window looks like this
Malen
Garcia
Rashford
Assensio
Diasi
Could be epic could be rubbish, a lot will depend on rashford and assensio recapturing their form, I'm reluctant to give an opinion be it positive or negative, it's going to be a wait and see how it goes, we have what we have now at this point so hopefully it'll be enough to qualify for europa league at a minimum.
Next big question, we can only register 3 players for champions league so which 3 does Emery pick?
03 Feb 2025 21:57:43
I think we have to see this for what it is which is a temporary set of moves to get us to the summer. If Asensio and Rashford come good then great they will help us challenge for Europe but there combined salary is over £600k a week and in reality we aren’t going to be able to meet those kind of salary demands on an ongoing basis. I think our real transfer business will commence in the summer. It appears we will get Disasi over the line and then I can’t see how anyone can argue the squad is weaker than when the window opened on January 1st.
03 Feb 2025 22:54:06
Agree Mingsy. Rashford even said in his interview that he's only here for a short time. We needed more squad depth which now we have.
04 Feb 2025 09:20:06
Can someone tell me why we can only register 3 for Europe? If we lose, Carlos, buendia, duran, guaci, swinkels from the original list can they not all be replaced
04 Feb 2025 14:04:30
That’s just the rules SV, 3 is the max no matter how many you lose. I couldn’t say why it’s that way but it makes no odds if the player is cup tied or not 3 is the magic number
04 Feb 2025 19:15:14
Thanks whack
03 Feb 2025 19:29:31
The way our defence are conceding goals it looks like we need two goals minimum to even get a point.So the new signings will hopefully help us to play more attacking football, it's badly need as our attack has not been sharp enough to win us games recently. We have had plenty of time to improve our defence, which again is badly needed linked to our attacking woes, is why are form is so poor. Unfortunately it's not looking positive to improve our defensive woes.
03 Feb 2025 19:48:12
Yep we will be lucky 2 make top now with our defence scotty its 1 of the worst in the league how unai and monchi can't see that is just madness us fans can see it so why can't them
I expect in the summer a few of our better players will be sold rodgers ie watkins, bouba
03 Feb 2025 19:53:40
Top10 sorry lol
03 Feb 2025 19:59:33
Why all the doom and gloom the window has not closed yet
03 Feb 2025 20:09:31
I think they tried to get someone in. Unfortunately the whole football world knew it and from what I’ve heard Chelsea held us to ransom on Disasi.
Bade was the No. 1 target and he turned us down.
03 Feb 2025 20:40:16
Looks like Axel Disasi is on the way to ply for us.
03 Feb 2025 20:40:54
Yeah but surely you don't just have a couple of targets you about 5 just in case some turn you dwn, to get rid of carlos is shocking now aswell you don't get rid of players until you have a replacement walk thru the door we are also a striker short as well, we have messed up 2 windows now shocking i gave us a 4 for both windows il take it bck a 3 at best,
We could have prime messi but we still wouldn't win because our defence is pants
03 Feb 2025 20:49:31
Jonny, every scouting team probably has 10-15 potentials for any position, but you'll only ever hear about the ones that progressed any distance or that "journalists" (hobbyist bloggers) just threw out there for reactions.
Either through injuries, price or just not being for sale/loan at a point in time, a lot of those potentials were not options right now.
Unlike FM, it's not professional to reach a full agreement with 2 players if you can only buy 1. We tried Bade and then moved to Disasi, it's just taken a while to resolve as Chelsea really didn't want to help us out but he really didn't want to go to an absolutely awful Spurs team.
03 Feb 2025 17:39:32
Seriously what are we doing no bids in for any cbs, season was already nearly done anyway but not to bring in 2 cb is a joke, we will be lucky to finish in top 10, also wheres the money gone that we have made from sales, its been such a bad couple of windows wish i could say what i want to say but would get banned lol monchi needs to do 1 at end of season chairmen needs to fire him and bring some1 that is elite
03 Feb 2025 18:44:42
Monchi will be goi nowhere.
03 Feb 2025 19:13:56

03 Feb 2025 16:26:29
Make sure it's a ball playing centre half unlike Mings who gives u a panic attack every time that ball gets to his feet
