Wolves allegedly sniffing around Edin Dzeko at 36 and still banging 'em in.
Another Moutinho situation? Thoughts?

Longmyndwolf - If his wages are v modest and presuming he is on a free he might be a useful 1 season filler allowing us to " gamble" on Jimenez's recovery.
We shouldn't be looking at players of that age as first 11 players normally but given the financial constraints and his previous proven quality - you say "still banging them in" (?) - maybe as cover/rotation/insurance for Jimenez?
As I said in a previous note the actions this summer, presuming we don't make any major sales, don't need to be spectacular. We have more than enough to allow evolution over the next 12 months rather than a hurried panic revolution this summer - which given the alleged current finances maybe just as well.
Collins and a couple of signings like this to give depth of quality to the squad short term might just be ok?
Indeed i'd happily take Ben Mee as well from Burnley - possibly and if needed to balance the finances letting Boly go. Indeed Boly might even (with a fair wind and several fingers crossed) raise a v small fee and probably both would be on similar wages. However Mee still looks fit enough to be a 2-3 year signing Boly doesn't! Also Mee is homegrown - quite important for us as we have v few that meet that requirement.
PS On a similar note if we could afford Trincao last season it might be worth pointing out that even on the insane wages Lingard is after he would be much cheaper!
Even if we can't now afford those wages it is also worth noting that if we were to sell MGW for just over £25m, even before counting MGW's (admittedly modest) wage Lingard could be signed effectively for free for 3 years from the proceeds
Lingard is not a prospect or an unknown like MGW or some of the young names we are supposeldy looking at in SA or Iberia. He is the player who tore us, ( and many other sides) to shreds in his time at WHU when he looked amazing - caveat this comment on the following 12 months when he couldn't find a role at the mad house that is Man U!
Thoughts?

Apologies longmynd I hadn't scrolled down and posted above the same oops.
If dzeko signs for us I'd be happy.

Thefutureisoldgold,
Let's say for arguments sake the figures add up as you suggest regarding lingard there is also the question of will he cause dressing unrest has he got the right attitude I am not sure he has.
But yes he played really well on loan at West ham.

I'll re-phrase that Tfiog, Dzeko is capable of banging 'em in in the Prem and could do a job doing exactly the what you suggest.
For me though there are a couple of issues, firstly, a very similar player to Jimenez so doesn't really offer Lage anything different Secondly his age, I just think that's too old unless used as cover, but only if Jimenez is back in form.
Personally, I'd prefer us to chase a younger striker who offers something different.

Phil - excellent point! Re his attitude I don't think he would, at WHU he seemed v popular although I accept that there he was the leader both in terms of playing ability and status as Rice was still young and they don't have any other obvious leaders. However unless he played v well would Neves, Coady, Moutinho etc be willing to have him as a leader?
Regardless of this though even if his attitude wasn't a problem his wage, as I suspect we saw to some extent with Fabio, would!
Maybe we would have to structure it as a large lump sum payment - (a transfer fee but paid in arrears not up front or we would be vulnerable to him taking the cash and {not} running - like Trincao! - but to him) - and lower wages.
Net net though I don't think we will go for him but I was just using him as an example of how attractive free agents can be.

I did read Suarez was available on a free!

13 Jul 2022 20:14:24
No problem Phil, it might just be clickbait anyway.

I think the time of silva signing was round about the time of brexit and I think part of the reason we signed him but in hindsight so far it looks like we have had our fingers burnt.
Maybe dzeko or as you say a free agent for a year or 2 year deal fabio silva comes back after loan and finally blooms for us.
The club has to do all it can to maximise a return on the huge outlay for silva.
With fosun I'm happy with them as our owners but being honest they don't let much out so us fans have to trust or not.
Why I said for arguments sake your figures add up as I don't think any of us know exactly how our internal finances are.
But on the other hand it keeps us on our toes and cool to chat about the ifs and buts.

The team spirit I think is one of our big strengths that's the vibe I get from the club.

With Neto back on song he is key to my hopes for us next season.
Agaisnt Liverpool last game he went off fairly early and it showed imo how much quality we missed that game after he went off.
At present we have ample options out wide but clearly lacking a goal scorer.
We overcome our lack of goals whether with new personal or different formation or both I believe there no reason why we can't surprise a few including our some of own next season.

including some of our own next season.

Longmyndwolf - don't disagree

13 Jul 2022 21:10:57
Arddunby - Suarez, that one might come back to bite us, literally. ??

13 Jul 2022 21:34:25
Longmynd judging by the amount leaving we've been butten more than once!

14 Jul 2022 07:44:54
Your not wrong Arddunby it is quite a clear out.

14 Jul 2022 13:30:28
I still think Seferovic offers something different but a short term oldee but goody is fine.
I now think we maybe in a better position than we all feared after we signed young Nathan.
He could be such a leader for us long term.
I also think there is a chance we’ll nip in with Almeida. i'd love a couple of ex Benfica players too like Ferro or even a marquee signing like Rafa Silva or Pizzi. Both known to Bruno…

Thefuter Lingard is a good player don't think he`d come to us
