If nothing else that protects his value.He's a bit of a silly sod for agreeing a new contract then

Absolutely the right decision. He needs a season where he’s not got the same spotlight on him, where he can just go and learn to love football and love scoring goals. You can tell how much he wanted to do well in a Wolves shirt but the price tag was heavy round his neck (not his fault).Just out of interest, are the majority in agreement that a loan move was correct? In my mind it's an absolute no brainer (assuming, of course, we don't go into the season with just one striker - a dangerous assumption perhaps)!
Not biting budBet people love you at parties.
Not sure it means much these daysHe's a bit of a silly sod for agreeing a new contract then
I would say, from watching him play for the Portuguese U21s, that he loves playing football and scoring goals ok.Absolutely the right decision.

Yep he's flattered to deceive here when given chances. I'm holding my opinion on that.Given the constant knocking by some so-called fans (of which you have emphatically been one), and the sketchy way he was at times scapegoated by the head coach last season, who could blame him? He will, just like MGW this summer, need to be convinced that his future lies at Molineux. He isn't, unlike MGW, a local lad either.
You are perfectly entitled to your opinion.Yep he's flattered to deceive here when given chances. I'm holding my opinion on that.
ThankyouYou are perfectly entitled to your opinion.
I wasn't, to be clear, being sarcastic. This or indeed any forum would be bloody boring if everyone agreed on every issue.Thankyou
He scored a few in his first season despite clearly not being ready then he failed to score last season in a team that couldn't score, but he was almost always one of our best players.Yep he's flattered to deceive here when given chances. I'm holding my opinion on that.
I am hoping there is a break clause where if needed/he is smashing it we can bring him home to give us goals.Im surprised we let him go for the season tbh
He was definitely much better last season,added some bulk which he needed to
He obviously isnt the finished article but will sending him to an easier league help?
Im not so sure
Yes its good to get some serious game time, and scoring a few will help the confidence im sure,but will it help in the Prem?
The pace and quality is so much higher than virtually any other league, im not sure loans help as much as they used to
I may be wrong, and often are, but i think he could have done a job for us this year
Never crossed my mind.I wasn't, to be clear, being sarcastic. This or indeed any forum would be bloody boring if everyone agreed on every issue.
Looks like hes gained another yard of pace, and watching him actually front up players which he couldnt do two years ago is positive.
TY. Not a bad little cameo appearance although the defending is utterly woeful.
What a miss and then what a strike lol
No worse than rauls miss against besiktas. To be relativeWhat a miss and then what a strike lol
His miss was as bad as that which another striker made of the previous chance he set up.....What a miss and then what a strike lol
Looking at our options now I wish he was here with us playing a more attacking style. A dreadful decision to let him go with only Raul here unless there is an imminent and good arrival. If not then serious questions should rightly be asked.
im sorry but thats a cracking goal, watching him run at defenders cut onto his shot and blast it, raul does that against leeds and we are screaming
Don't think it's *that* bad defending, it's a hell of a strike from Fabio and a bit unexpected from the angle.It's a brilliant finish. But "defenders"? Where? I've seen cones that are harder to get past than that Oostende defender.
"Ohhh la la" "Fabio Silva de WunderBoy"
Watch his highlights from his first season he was only 17/18, hes definitely sharper now. He was never coady slow, but he wasnt going to beat a man, he really does look from this year and his movement in those anderlecht highlights, quicker and stronger.I loathe this idea that he was always slow and is now gaining pace.
He's always been relatively quick, but people were so eager to jump on him because during a warm he ran alongside Adama Traore.
You could say the same about the opposition we have played in pre-season in the games we have won - hasnt stopped people jizzing over the “new attacking style”It's a brilliant finish. But "defenders"? Where? I've seen cones that are harder to get past than that Oostende defender.
In his first season he was still a boy. Now he's matured and is a full grown man. Just as many of us said then would happen he's stronger and more physically powerful now.Watch his highlights from his first season he was only 17/18, hes definitely sharper now. He was never coady slow, but he wasnt going to beat a man, he really does look from this year and his movement in those anderlecht highlights, quicker and stronger.
Just my opinion

Cause and effect might be going the other way. We did play a more attacking style at times. We couldn't score goals and gave points away. If Fabio (and Traore and Trincao etc.. ) had taken his chances, we could have played more attacking more often. It's folly to throw people forward in attack when you are limited in players who can actually score. I know by end of season, our XG wasnt far off our Actual, but at the start, it was way ahead. Our chances created was , at the start , among the highest in the league.
Anyway, the point is that Future Fabio, the one a few seasons from now, may well have been able to have scored in those games. The 19 year old Fabio last season couldn't.
For comparison, Anderlecht have had 2 similarly aged, young hopeful strikers on loan in each of the past 2 seasons. Each did very well, so give a kind of benchmark. Last season, Joshua Zirkzee (on loan from Bayern) scored 16 in the league for Anderlecht. The season before Lukas Nmecha (from Man City at the time) scored 18. So that's the kind of standard Fabio should be aiming at. Last season, Nmecha was sold to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and scored 8, so that gives an idea of the gap between the Belgian league and the Bundesliga.
I wouldn't raise expectations that if Fabio scores 18 for one of the biggest clubs in the Belgian league, he would be able to get anywhere near that in the Premier League. He's in the right place and we could still do with another. more experienced, backup striker.
Looks like he decided to take the shot early and caught the defender and keeper unawares.Don't think it's *that* bad defending, it's a hell of a strike from Fabio and a bit unexpected from the angle.
I've been there a fair few times for work as well and I like it. Got character and something about it (and astonishingly, dangerously good beer which hope he doesn't get too familiar with).TY. Not a bad little cameo appearance although the defending is utterly woeful.
Incidentally if Fabio was well settled in Wolvo he should feel well at home at Anderlecht which is in a slightly gritty working class area of Brussels which l know fairly well (work!).
