If you were a defender , who would you rather play against?
Traore ? Or No goals Silva????

Funny that. Man City have loved it when he hasn't played. Liverpool found it easier the second time round and all.If I was a defender, I wouldn't want to face him. If I was a manager, I'd be delighted to face him.
Those are anomalies, unfortunately¹

Not for the first time we have an extended period of time without him available, and we're back to square one in terms of playing style and results.
The dogmatic narrowness of our forwards is going to kill us. It hinders our play, pitting 3 attackers against 6 or 7 all the time. And when that doesn't work it goes out to a wing-back who has noone to cross it to cos they're all **** in the air, or we play it back to midfielders that don't think it's any of their business taking it into the opposition box.
And we keep repeating this insanity, and wondering why we are rubbish to watch. Which we are.
Apart from the teams that are? Tottenham were in for him when he chose Barca. Barca said they would like him but not at 25 million.If he's such a difference maker, why are no other teams interested in him?
That's whataboutism and this thread isn't about those players anyway.Apart from the teams that are? Tottenham were in for him when he chose Barca. Barca said they would like him but not at 25 million.
Why is noone interested in Podence? 2 years left on his contract. Such a clever player apparently, and Barca need a winger.
Why is noone interested in getting Moutinho in? Such a clever player, available for nothing if you give him 2 years.
Why is noone in for dendoncker? A year left(or 2 possibly?) on his contract.
Why is going to barca and becoming second choice deemed as failure, and losing 10 of your last 17 games not?
I just don't get it.
No it isn't! It's pointing out a double standard by pointing to comparable players, which isn't the same thing at all.That's whataboutism and this thread isn't about those players anyway.
I'm just surprised no team is interested in Adama when we've clearly shown he's available.
Really, as of Wednesday they were NO enquiries (never mind actual offers) for Adama. It’s getting very frustrating for certain upper management, particularly the one who went to press saying the Barca loan was good business for Wolves.No it isn't! It's pointing out a double standard by pointing to comparable players, which isn't the same thing at all.
Who says there isn't anyone?
We were asking for 25 million. If he's so **** why are we asking for a fee?
They'd have to wait a year for that. Maybe they will wait but out of necessity mostly, they're skint.Barca want him, all their doing is trying to stitch us up and get him for nothing

It's not that interesting. Try before you buy put them off. It's why we're not signing Trincao (I hope).interesting that it is reported that Barca bid for Raphinha 60 million ,[ out bid by chelsea] but wouldn’t pay 25 million for Traore..

We seem to be going round and round with this thread and others about Adama, some love him some don't
Absolutely. And we didn't sell Adama for £30M because his performances didn't warrant the outlay either.I suspect we are not signing Trincao partly because we were not sufficiently impressed, and because his market value, as suggested by the rumoured offer from Sporting of 12-15m, meant the agreed option price was at least 10m too high. Given that, even had we swapped him for Traore, to keep or to trade with Sporting, then that doesn’t look attractive compared to a straight sale of Traore to Leeds for 15m cash. We’d have greater bargaining power with Sporting with straight cash rather than a player + cash.
I wrote that and it’s stupid.Anyone think maybe Barca sent him back to get Wolves to drop their price?
He also needs to get a lot better at beating players. Early days yet but more often than not when he took someone on he lost it.Of chiquono plays we need 2 strikers in the box imo
Fabrizio Romano claiming both Celta Vigo and Getafe have bid £15M for our Adama!
So it all comes down to whether he wants to go back to Spain. Neither of those are steps up and I can’t imagine he gets the wages he might here.Fabrizio Romano claiming both Celta Vigo and Getafe have bid £15M for our Adama!
Not sure what you are doing here.... are you being ironic? Barca will always do what is best for them, and some of the financial stuff that they have manipulated is amazing...I wrote that and it’s stupid.
Wolves and Barca made a deal for Traore as a loan and a possible permanent transfer.
There is no way that Barca would try to change or cheat on an agreement made with layers, accountants, agents, etc.
You just don’t do that in a very small business community……you’d get a bad rep.
Honour and ethics still matter.
Yeah, you're right. No blue tick = virgin in his mum's house.No he hasn’t look again at the feed you’re reading!
I ****ed up. No blue tick lolSo it all comes down to whether he wants to go back to Spain. Neither of those are steps up and I can’t imagine he gets the wages he might here.
Did they play him much after the first few weeks ? He didnt score.Barca want him, all their doing is trying to stitch us up and get him for nothing

Get rid. It cant be good having him around the other players.
But he wants to go . That is unacceptable if true. And its a continuing unsettling psycho drama that’s lasted far too long.The other players really like him to be fair. He is a very popular member of the squad and not just with the players.

I don’t think some fans think beyond what they want to see on the pitch .He should leave. Dont think Bruno is a huge fan of his and he has probably gone past the point of no return with his contract here. I know his cult members want to keep him even if he leaves for free, but doing that puts the club in a no win situation imo. If he has a good season ( and plenty of players do in the last year of their contracts ) Wolves will get lambasted for not giving him a contract, despite him being offered one that he wouldnt sign ( and we dont know if he would even sign one now anyway ), and if he has a poor season Wolves will again get lambasted for not selling him from his detractors. Our best option imo is to just cash in now.
It was a fake account, shame though!Fabrizio Romano claiming both Celta Vigo and Getafe have bid £15M for our Adama!

It is great that he can run fast and dribble , he is exciting and that’s what they want to watch.
On the down side he takes up limited resources, is bound to lack commitment to the team with a poor effect on other members.
In 10 years of professional and international football he has scored 22 goals !
A player it is easy to love or to hate.
My large appreciation of him is that opposition sides cannot take any liberties in their judgement and he always ties up two defenders. We simply don't have anyone who can demand such attention - which should make some room/ease some pressure to our advantage. That it doesn't suggests we have plenty of problems that may not be solved by not using him or by selling him.
The "Ah **** him" instinct huh....I love watching him play for Wolves. I love how exciting he is.
What I don't particularly like is that he doesn't appear to want to play for us.
So I will point out his weaknesses and negatives to try to justify to myself why we are better off without him!
If he signs a new contract, I will be over the moon. But sadly, I can't see that happening.
