Looks like we dodged a bullet then.

And we were going to pay 5million.

Didn't we bid £6 million?

I think the rumours of us offering mega bucks is agents trying to push up fees! Let's face it we've been associated with everyone and the players not mentioned have signed. I think it's the ones we aren't signing are the ones we hear about.

Haha'no chance we wouldn't have bid as much as qpr, hence him going there.

Money isn't exactly a issue though.

If we had bid 2 MIL he would be here talking to us, money talks, no way would a 5,6 MIL offer be turned away in favour of a 1.75 MIL offer.

According to Twitter, we have signed N Bendtner after meeting up with him today and will be unveiled tomorrow. He chose us over QPR. Don't know how true this is, or if it means the end of the Martin transfer.

I can't find anything on twitter about us signing Bentner on twitter. The only wolves he speaks about is Wolfsburg. We should have gone for Gyan, not only free but a 20 goal a season man with strength and pace.

The Ivan Cavaliero link is coming up again with his wife writing something about him joining us again. He is definitely leaving Monaco and it looks like us or Sheff Wed. He's a Mendes player and all set up for him to join the party over the next couple of days. Only problem is we have 3 left sided wingers already; Costa, John and Graham. They are talking about a permanent £10m transfer, not a loan.

He can also play Striker and a Central midfielder as well.

I hope they dump the Martin idea and sign up Cavaliero instead. Adaptable forwards are what we need, not a big lump like Martin.

Potential front 3?
Cavaliero* - JDB - Costa

Back up:
Mason - Martin*/ Rhodes* - Dicko

The back up frontline is proven at Championship level and will still get the goals.

Oh and we still have John, Graham, Zyro in the squad ready to add competition for places. Happy days.

Totally agree wavid, what we need is mobility and pace upfront.
Martin is overpriced, overweight and overrated.

Agree with that 1877. 👍Cavaliero and Rhodes it is then👍.

Don't know why people go on about the striker shortage. Costa, John, Teixeira can all play up front if it ever became a problem. Personally, I'd be very happy with Cavaliero and Harrison Reed to complete the midfield, but I'm still concerned at no central defender. There must be one out there somewhere? Maybe should have bought Duffy last week.

Idrissa Sylla was a target back in the Jackett/ Morgan/ Moxey days. We enquired about him in January when Afobe left. We enquired again earlier in the Summer. As soon as the takeover went through a player of Sylla's ability was no longer on our agenda as we are now fishing in a far better pool.

Forgotten about Gladon already then 1877.Sorry to disappoint you folks, but no one of real premiership quality is going to be heading Molinuex way.
We now have 2 big centre forwards plus Zyro when fit so you can also forget Martin and Rhodes as they come from similar moulds and do not fit Fosun's price range either. I'd imagine they will be introducing a new No5 next. Loan or £2 million max.

Cavaleiro and Rhodes will formidable Saiss should b signing 2day I might b wrong but it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't get anybody else.

Old wolf I think you have a point there with sighnings don't seam to pay a lot for players of what we thought they would pay, seam 2 million is the going rate also sighning players we now nothing about, but AY it's still better than last year and they could surprise we before window closes and sighn a couple of class players, but if they don't let's still get behind team and be positive we still have enough skill there to finish in top 6 if he gives the new players game time, I am fed up of saying it, playing that team that played first half against Huddersfield was not good enough midfield non existent they have to be dropped not good enough price and Iorfa need to be taken out as well and put on bench, the stats first half showed that we only had 25 per cent posession not good enough.

I've heard that were looking at Cleber from Hamburg as the new centre back that were linked too.
We have also been linked to Ewerton from Sporting. I believe Saiss can also play Centre back so maybe the signings should be.

Saiss
Cleber/ Ewerton/ Mawson (unless he goes to Swansea)
Bjansson (is this right spelling? )
Calverio.

Iorfa and hause back in eng u 21s squad very lucky considering there displays from last season and this so far also Patrick bamford gone 2 burnley season long loan linked with us at some stage.


23.) 30 Aug 2016

Lest hope a spell with the England U23's can re motivate and kick start Iorfa and Hause's season.

Old Wulf - apologies for missing Gladon out. With that many signings I totally forget about him and sadly I also know nothing about his ability.

Cavaliero is very highly rated, and for me, slots in on the right wing nicely. Far better than any Mason/ Wallace/ Henry.

Martin and Rhodes I've seen first hand and they always seem to grab a goal against Wolves too. I hope Gladon turns out to be another bargain like JDB and that way we don't need to buy another striker. However there seems to be a lot of talk about offers for Rhodes and Martin on the table, so we must all wait and see?!

With every positional target there is a Plan B and Plan C. Maybe even a Plan D!

Just speculating.

RW - Plan A -Cavaliero, Plan B - Albert Adomah and also remember we hate late interest in Yeni Ngbakoto (Now of QPR)

ST -Plan A- Rhodes, Plan B - Martin, Plan C - Assombalonga / Wells?

CB - Plan A Willy Boly (Declined move), Plan B - Lusiao (Offer maybe still on the table), Plan C - Alfie Mawson (Gone to Swansea), and then there's Shane Duffy who've we've been linked with.
