Get the feeling he’s the backup option if they decide to make a move.
Like him but don’t think value wise it’s the best we can do and we need to maximise our spend for the next 2 windows.
There’s very little value in the market now or in the summer. Every player is going to be an overpay whether it be the price point or wage demands
soon it will be 50m for a youth player with 20 1st team games under their belt.
Yep but I think the club see Sesko in the 50-60m bracket as a better option for example.
Cunha is a little overpriced because of what wolves paid, it being a Jan move and the in PL tax. I know you mentioned you’re fine with 75m for him but I think that’s a hell of a risk.
Quick read online suggests Wolves summer departures will mean they’re “ok” with regards to PSR but they’ll still need to raise money if they want to invest in the squad so I reckon Cunha is the obvious candidate for the club to sell but given they’re ok with PSR they probably won’t be in a rush nor will they feel they can be lowballed.
This is a no for me
Definition of panic buy
Good player though
I agree, he’s a decent player in a poor Wolves team but if Cunha is the answer then we’re asking the wrong question.
We need a game changer not more of what we already have and, like you say, this transfer would be the definition of a panic buy .
Arteta is more likely to wait until the next window to get who he really wants so this is unlikely to happen anyway.
I agree too. I’d be concerned about the impact of signing Cunha on our summer transfer plans. I’d love Musiala or Wirz in the summer as an attacking addition.
As things currently stand, a winger and striker on loan seems most probable. On the wings I can see us going for Sane or Mbeumo.
Not going to be him. We can’t loan-in more than 2 players from the EPL.
We’d have to cancel the Sterling loan and that’ll upset a lot of fans. Mainly Chelsea’s.
I’m not suggesting we would loan him. I think it is more likely we loan a striker from abroad. In terms of wingers, I think there is a chance we sign either Mbeumo or Sane.
I’d love Musiala or Wirtz, but this is wish list stuff.
A more realistic target might be Eze and I’d be all over that.
I don’t think it is wishlist. Musiala is likely to either move in the summer or sign a new contract. There is an opportunity there. Wirz deserve to get a transfer to a big club and we would be perfect for him. We have the money. Eze would be one of my back up options.
Signing Musiala would give me that Ozil feeling again - signing arguably the best player in the world in his position.
We have barely ever signed a World class player.
Im just not sold on Eze at all. Maybe it’s the Rice thing of playing on a bad team but I’m so unconvinced.
