First bid for Maitland-Niles less than asking price and apparently turned down. Don't know if it's true and understand not wanting to overspend. BUT. Players of M-N quality will always have plenty of potential buyers. If we frustrate the sellers they may be motivated to go elsewhere. Also got the feeling that with Paulinha at Braga and Paulinho at Sporting Lisbon we have kept them dangling. Could well be that we are only interested in these players if other options don't work out. But just nervous that we end up empty handed again when everyone including Nuno knowsthe squad needs strengthening.

Agreed. Penny pinching. I'm sorry but everything at the moment points to a battle against relegation.

Before we get carried away regarding missed opportunities just remember that there has been no information from the club, it’s all paper talk. We may well be looking elsewhere.

SQ, your comments are getting abit tedious now. OK we ain't spent as much money as you personally would have liked, but as you can see, no other team has really brought in many players. It seems you want any player brought in rather than the right players.

Guys with the greatest of respect (like everything in here) this is ALL just speculation! People were shouting penny pinching when we were waiting on Zinchenko and as it turned out it was nothing of the sort just a young player assessing his options. Is it not possible that as Maitland is making what will probs be one of the most vital moves of his career that he is just weighing up his options?! This is the catch 22, people want quality players but the thing about those players is they always have options. Havertz to Chelsea has been rumbling on for a month now, so would you call that 'penny pinching'? Also you say penny pinching SQ without any REAL proof or understanding that its anything to do with money. And to be honest I hope we are penny pinching, not sure why that's a bad thing considering the INSANE value Fosun have managed to squeeze out of the market up till now?! 👍.

Jas M . I want us to compete properly and not go backwards which traditionally is what this football club does.

Only really know what the strategy was and whether it worked at the end of the transfer window or maybe even the end of the season. But I think if you got Nuno speaking in confidence he would say the outcomes of the last two windows let him down. He is very loyal but you could read the frustration in his voice when he said 'we need more players to help the team'. Maybe FFP affected us or maybe the Chinese government. But this is a very important transfer window.

I do not get to wound up during the transfer window after 55 years supporting the Wolves I do not remember a window being any different, just be patient things will happen when Nuno and the team come back next week.

SQ, since Fosun took over we have been moving forward not backwards.

Need to go for this kid from Arsenal and show the fans we mean busines and kick start our season, last transfer window was a let down when we should of pushed on, Nuno needs players to improve this side, if not and plays with same side it will be a struggle, that's my opinion, so let's get 3 to 4 players in and push on.

I see basis for all opinions but I would rather think on the bright side of life that's just me.
Within 2 months we'll be discussing matches win draw or lose I car wait.
Exciting for us exciting to see how the villa and baggies do fingers crossed not very well ha ha.

Gaza - very wise words. Media love playing our emotions and getting fingers twitching on click-bait. The real picture is probably nothing like the media are painting and in Jeff Jorge and Junk we have some very clever minds who will not show their cards too early.
