Silva loan

[Matt]

I’m not sure him travelling to Spain would’ve done any harm to anyone. Even if he ended up leaving the following day. Can only think they thought the move was imminent. Hopefully it’s sorted soon so he can start a proper pre season.

I wish him all the very best. I shall follow Anderlecht closely this season! Fingers crossed he is the main man there. Good luck, Fabio!

 

[MontyR]

Will happily watch any Anderlecht games I can. Great deal for everyone involved and hope he does well.

So, we weren't waiting for a replacement striker then after all. I have a feeling we are done for this window.

 

[Starsky]

We must have got a fair amount off the wage bill now.

Really really can't see us being done especially with Silva going out on loan, confident a striker will come in or else the loan makes zero sense (before someone says Traore two completely different situations).

I did say I was told that the Silva confirmation will be the best news possible... gonna be an anxious couple of days for me watching any links waiting for names already mentioned to me now.

Havn't we already signed the prolific Hwang?

Who has been mentioned to you?

Has the name been linked to us yet

Really hope this means an imminent striker signing but I fear it won’t be.

It’s got to…..hasn’t it?

 

[Monketron]

He needs games so this is for the best, even if it's left us a little short as it stands. Our investment in him is way more important.

No pressure on you, Lobo………

Which names are they then?

Fotheringham and Bent

Fotheringham and Bent

Hahahahahahahahahha. I genuinely had to Google Marcus Bent to find he signed for us. I'd tried to wipe it from my memory

 

[WickedWolfie]

We had way worse forwards than him... As a small sample Blobby, Gladon, Small.....

Sagbo…

 

[Chris H]

Really looking forward to this thread next season as no matter what he does, if Wolves aren’t scoring enough it’ll be something to hold against the club.

He doesn’t score, £35m flop, what a waste.

He score some but not much, found his level, he’ll never be good enough.

Scores loads, ffs why is he playing in Belgium when he should be leading the line for us.

Going to be a great weekly read.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Are Fabio and Cutrone at Compton just kicking a ball against the wall?

Cutrone keeps trying but the ball keeps going over the fence

Fabio Silva on loan to Anderlecht: Wolves' record signing is still young but his time at Molineux has not been easy

Wolves’ record signing is going on loan to Anderlecht. Does that mean Fabio Silva was an expensive mistake? Adam Bate assesses the young forwards career at Molineux so far and -- as he turns 20 -- what it might tell us about his potential in the future...

Quite an incredible stat really and a reminder that Fabio is still extremely early in his career

A year out will do him a world of good and I fancy we'll have a hell of a player on our hands 23/24

 

[sillytuna]

That must mean a striker coming in. I think huang will do ok down the middle personally but we need a new option who can actually get goals.

If we see huang play wide forward this year I'm gonna lose my ....

Agree. The worst thing that could happen now is he goes to Anderlecht and doesn't play!!!

Checking the way Anderlecht set up, they predominantly play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, so he should be starting in either!

Down to him now.

Interesting read, but to some extent it reads like a list of excuses for Fabio - Didn't score at all last season, but has good movement. Doesn't hold down a permanent place in the team, but has played more matches than anyone born since 2002. Etc...
Unfortunately, strikers are judged on goals and Silva struggles to score goals. Yes, he's weighed down by the fee and the hullabaloo when we signed him, but he's been at Wolves for 2 years now and is still struggling to get into the team and score goals.
He has time on his side, especially as we have him for an additional year and we all hope that the Anderlecht loan is the making of him, but if he struggles there, then where?

Very fair points. Gabriel Jesus ' stats suggest he missed too many chances but....guess what ...he scores a lot and is he understandably rated highly.

Your last point is the real conundrum I hope that we don't face.

Another one is what if the striker we bring in scores a bucketload and Jimenez gets back to his best? That would be a nice problem to have!

Scores a boat load but then gets a bad injury. ****ing pitchforks all over the show.

 

[Mutchy]

Good luck Fabio!

 

[moseleyite]

Good luck to the guy. Price tag or not, I hope he gets his head down (not suggesting he doesn’t normally before anybody points a finger!), gets some game time and gets some goals. I’d love to see his confidence flourish.

I mean, everyone struggles to score goals playing for us because we are glacially slow in possession, and we barely ever have more than 2/3 players around the box at any given time.

 

[OJtonner90]

I'm with the majority in thinking this is a great move all round, but can't help but wonder - if Fosun knew we'd be sending Fabio out on loan two seasons after signing him, do you reckon they'd have gone through with signing him?

£35m is an awful lot of money after all.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Oh goody more game time for Hwang

Good luck to the kid, hope he smashes it

Yes, the footballing outcome was secondary in this money laundering exercise.

 

[oldgolded]

All interesting stuff. I wonder if he will ever kick a ball for Wolves again?

Good point, but we didn't pay £35 million for everyone of our players. Silva was bought for that amount for his potential to be something special. Now is the time for that potential to be realised.

The price tag doesn't cause the lack of chances for him or any other striker we have or make us one of the most boring teams in the league.

No it doesn't, but the expectation is greater, the higher the price. Agree that we are boring to watch and that a prime Ronaldo would struggle to score for us, but I'd bet he would create more chances for himself than Silva has done.
Just an example and in no way am I comparing Silva to a prime Ronaldo.
