Wow! Really hope that buy option isn’t only if we stay up.

 

[Sutton]

At last some decent news.

Love how Fabrizio held off until Sunday morning just to annoy @SilverstoneWolf

 

[Darvo]

Is he any good?

 

[Wolf316]

Looks like some should be apologising to @SilverstoneWolf

 

[Wombourne Wolf]

£7m is a good fee is it all works out.

 

[Sutton]

Is he any good?

Yes.

Attacking centre mid. Can go past a player and looks forward. Very good on the ball.

Would work great alongside Andre/Gomes assuming we keep one or both of them. Only 5 foot 6 so needs muscle alongside him.

Did not look out of place in England centre mid only 1-2 years ago.

Fee looks very low.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Why?
How do we know that was the big announcement
He could claim it was the news when it wasn’t
He was asked last night to say what the big announcement was but he said nothing when he could have IF that was the news and come out this with credibility but he didn’t

He's a central midfielder who passes the ball well. Like a smaller Adam Wharton or João Moutinho and exactly what we need to play with Mane in the middle of the pitch

He doesn't go past players and isn't an attacking midfielder but he is very creative.

 

[lets all have a disco]

We should have paid the 7m fee straight up...it's a good fee for a reasonably good HG player anyway ...

Unless Angel wanted the breathing space...

Story the other day was the buy option was if we stayed up.

He got in the England squad August 2024..

[TelfordWolf]

Be interesting to see if it is an option or if it’s obligation IF we stay up. Be a very good signing for the Champ if we can trigger it.

 

[Henry Palfrey]

Yes.

That's cleared that up then

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

He was very good a couple of years ago
Seems a very low fee if hes still performing like he was
Size means nothing if he has the skill ask Mouts

 

[Rubberball]

Having actually seen him play I can safely say Transfermkt have that wrong or De Zerbi had been playing him in the wrong position this season.

I can't see that..that's impossible..would just be a waste of doing the paperwork...might be an option where he has the final say or something..

 

[old wittonian]

Is he any good?

Ask Jeff Shi.

 

[JamesWolves]

Is he any good?

Be interesting to see how he gets on in the Premier League, he's a short ****

 

[JadeWolf]

So was Moutinho

 

[maws]

The English Arias! Hopefully he will be more influential, we still need a striker,

 

[wolvesnl]

@SilverstoneWolf this morning.

 

[wolvesnl]

From what I remember of Angel Gomes he’s very tidy in possession, can take the ball in tight spaces higher up the pitch - at least that’s what I saw during his England caps.

I think this could be a very good signing.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Be interesting to see how he gets on in the Premier League, he's a short ****

He was the youngest player to play in the Prem with Man Utd made his debut when he was 16
They wanted to keep him but he felt there would be more chance of first team football abroad at the time so he moved to France
He played 6 times for England so i would say he is more than capable of playing in the Prem

 

[JamesWolves]

So was Moutinho

Moutinho did bring a **** load of experience with him though. Don't think we can really compare the two

I'm not saying Angel is crap btw

 

[maws]

So was Moutinho

N'golo Kante was short too, did he win much! Scholes, Shaqkiri, Lennon. Off the top of my head there

 

[Evthewolf]

Like a smaller Adam Wharton or João Moutinho

A smaller Joao?………Is that even possible?

 

[JamesWolves]

A smaller Joao?………Is that even possible?

Yes Joao was 5ft 7, Angel is 5ft 6

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Agreed. When George Best first went to Manchester United he was rejected because he was too small. He didn’t turn out to be a bad player!

 

[lets all have a disco]

The mix....."We got no chance getting Angel Gomes , dream on "........

I think he might be to small...

It probably just signals our direction towards a few more HG additions ...Whether he works or not , it's probably the right direction to go in our circumstances...

 

[Rubberball]

A smaller Joao?………Is that even possible?

Apparently so!

 

[WalsallWolf]

Can confirm specifically this is one of the players Rob has wanted from day dot.

Who?


Best ever British player, and wolves to boot

Any idea why he's chosen to come here ? Seems like a massive step down for him, I get he's not getting first team minutes at Marseille now, but to head to a doomed side seems an interesting career direction

Mendes favour?

 

[tamwolf]

If he is creative then he'll struggle for game time here, get sent back at the end of his loan, then move to someone else and be brilliant at a higher level than we are.

We've all seen this one before.

 

[Evthewolf]

I suppose the million dollar question is……If he’s that good….Why is he coming to, only pride to play for Wolves, for what looks a very low fee?

 

[Munro Munro]

Rate this player he can find that pass that opens up a defence

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

A smaller Joao?………Is that even possible?

And, closer to home, (Sir) Billy Wright was nearly rejected by Major Buckley for being too small. He didn't too badly for himself, did he?
