Summer transfer window - 2021 Deadline Day passed...

[Flaneur]

I'm hoping for a benfica forward on loan.........

Carlos Vinícius or Gonçalo Ramos on loan would do nicely

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

People are basically looking at the last season and a third as it is the most relevant to where we are now. As you say its was pretty dour stuff where we struggled to win games. I don't believe this is simply because people are being negative just that its the most recent gauge as to where we are now.

Some people are taking it to an extreme though, if you summarise some of the views on this forum we are heading for a truly apocalyptic start worse than 03/04, which will see us lose at least 4-0, 3-0 and 3-0, Lage will be gone by October, FOSUN have pulled the plug and want to get rid, we are staring relegation in the face before a ball has been kicked unless FOSUN spend £100m, every team below us has drastically improved, every Palace, Newcastle, Brighton, Burnley and Southampton player has got much better in the close season while every Wolves player is now as useful as a condom at a Star Trek convention
This is what the Mix would have been like if it had been around in 84/85 under the Bhattis

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Tbh SBK Nuno always came across as a bell to the press imo. Fair enough though as they routinely ask stupid questions. I have no doubt that he could have been quite awkward, as can we all. Does not diminish what he did for the club, though

Absolutely not, I think top class managers need that bit of arrogance. It just doesn't sit alongside the "stay humble" mantra he had. I'm not rewriting history, far from it, he was in my eyes the best thing to happen to this club since bully signed closely followed by Sir Jack buying us. Like all humans I'm sure he had another side to him

 

[OLDGOLD]

I've heard from someone around the academy he was awful with the young lads. Basically treated them as if they didn't exist and when they did train with first team he was extremely hard on them.

Not sure the last bit of that is a bad thing when you see some of the lads in football who have just got their first few games under their belts, and a few quid, acting like Billy big balls. A bit of perspective for that type doesn't go amiss imo.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Leicester agree £15m for Vestergaard. Another great signing. Hope the big **** isn't signed in time for Saturday.

Any chance of getting Billy Bigballs on loan?

I gather he can play two up front on his own.

Sort of signing we should be making. Anyway, he won't go straight into the side for Saturday regardless.

Good job, him against Coady and Saiss on corners is enough to give you mares!

 

[Minimalist]

Lage will still want to play 442 if the club actually back him rather than making our squad weaker on numbers than last season when it was too small.

Seems to me our options in the squad are getting less by the weak either by injuries and loaning players out with no one coming in.

If we play 442 maybe one of the 2 will be a Traore or podence or MGW.

Anyway the truth of the matter is all the managers who work with Cutrone are happy to let him leave.

Personally I’d love to replace him with Abraham, just don’t think it will happen!!

Don't think he fits our system at all, no pace

How do you know he wants to play 442? Because he started with it at Crewe with half of the first team missing?

well he's not stopped us scoring before...

good signing but i'd genuinely rather have Mosquera

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I hope he is! He's exactly the sort of defender we are good against
I still rate him, but he struggles with the nippy players running at him

We were interested but Leicester was the option the player choose

 

[Rhoswolf]

Genuinely interested to know why, had never heard off him till he signed and only seen him perform in pre-season kick abouts, you may well be correct and hope you are.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Agree but why wouldn't he? They've only got Soyuncu fit, Amartey has to play there otherwise.

 

[Minimalist]

Exactly.
And IF he does want to play 442 then we probably need one if not two centre backs and a midfielder before we need Cutrone.

 

[forge]

I thought Cutrone in a 442 would have been good. He possessed pretty good link up play and is fast on his feet. Calling out to be a F9 imo
Though Fabio also looks like he could play a F9 as well

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Allegedly interested.

We haven't signed a player from the Premier League since.....(I genuinely don't know who) so I would be surprised if we were!

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Because it is Wednesday already, how often do players sign and play literally a couple of days later? It happens very rarely.

Afobe?

Can't get my head around the scramble for him personally, they don't seem that bothered on the Saints forum.

The couple of times I've seen him he's been an absolute donkey.

Is it off the back of a decent Euros ?

 

[forge]

Actually in terms of our current system he fits perfectly

Hoever

 

[JOSWolf]

Spiers, whether you choose to believe him or not, has said there is no imminent replacement for Cutrone. This bigger squad that Sellars mentioned in those videos they released a few months back is starting to look doubtful. Good planning and good to see a proactive approach.

 

[kennyB]

Expect an announcement of incomings imminently then if that is the case.

Imminently has been around for a long time Jos, time to sign him up!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

You can’t even make it up

One week from needing a player and signing him .

meanwhile at wolves 3 seasons later ….

I think he’s a donkey, don’t see the attraction at all. Neto ripped him apart last season.

He did pretty well in the Euros but I think he's been Southampton's best defender by a distance.

 

[JOSWolf]

Whats this? A club realising they need a centre back and actually going out and getting one.

Yep... just like we did !

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

Well the others must be totally **** then

 

[JOSWolf]

How do you know he wants to play 442? Because he started with it at Crewe with half of the first team missing?

No. It his preferred system along with 433 but he has been forced to play 5 at the back as he has probably realised how bad our defence is and how one paced our central midfield is. The club arent giving him the tools he needs and its pretty obvious to me.

 

[JOSWolf]

Yep... just like we did !

Ah. A kid who has played very few games and has been signed as a squad player to start with by all accounts.

Who has said that ? Can't remember that being said at all.
Handle himself very well in the games he played.

As long as he is replaced by the end of the window it is fine, the replacement is 3rd choice out anyway. That is not a super urgent position for me.

 

[JOSWolf]

He did but he is raw and apparently hasnt been signed to be a regular starter to begin with. We need oven ready players and have done for 2 years in this position and others.

Can you cite him saying this? At Benfica he was known for fitting his tactics to the players he had, it is what good choices do.

It will be if Raul picks up a knock when we have no one apart from Fabio. Again I dont think this is very good planning at all and leaves us weaker on options before the game on Saturday. The bench will look interesting on Saturday!
