If there was a ever a time to ask GUO for a 60m loan for the right player to sort out our season, now is the ****ing time.WIM ****ED
Come on Fabio lad, we spent £37m for just this eventu….Who could have thought such inept planning and squad management could come back to bite us on the **** immediately...
Doubt that is possible.Here comes the Silva recall
I expect we have a recall for Jan, but not a recall for now..Here comes the Silva recall

There goes squad harmony!Here comes the Silva recall
Wolves have suffered a huge blow to their Premier League preparations with Raul Jimenez set to miss at least a month with a knee injury.
Jimenez could even be out for up to eight weeks after sustaining the injury in Wolves's friendly against Besiktas on Saturday in Alicante.
The Mexico international has undergone medical checks this week and there are fears that he may not be available until after the September international break.
Wolves are still assessing the results of scans but initial concerns are that Jimenez, who was last season's joint leading scorer, is likely to miss the first eight Premier League games of the new campaign.

It leaves head coach Bruno Lage short on attacking options, with striker Fabio Silva loaned out to Anderlecht for the season with no option to recall him.
Morgan Gibbs-White is a target for Nottingham Forest and Everton this summer while Lage has also used Pedro Neto, Daniel Podence and Hee-chan Hwang in attack in pre-season.
Wolves expect to recruit a specialist striker by the end of the window but the club is determined to find the right fit for the squad and playing style under Lage.
Jimenez picked up the injury in the first half of the friendly win over Besiktas after overstretching for the ball. He had scored the first goal in the 3-0 victory.
Wolves will play their final game of pre-season this weekend against Sporting.
Jimenez has been a key player for Wolves since completing his £30million move from Benfica in April 2019, after a successful loan spell.
In his first full season he finished the campaign with 27 goals in total as the club reached the Europa League quarter-finals under Nuno Espirito Santo.
However, in the 2020/21 season he sustained a serious injury after fracturing his skull in the game at Arsenal. He did not play again that season and missed seven months, returning to defy early fears that he could be forced to retire.
At least the expensive back up will have had all pre-season to get used to the new system & team mates…This Raul injury woildnt be the problem it has become if the club werent so painfully slow in the transfer market and have the habit of letting players go without imminent replacements lined up. I'd like to congratulate Mr Shi and Mr Sellars on a sterling job so far this summer.

Percy’s comments suggest nothing is imminent unfortunatelyWell that sucks. I was hoping he just got a bit of a niggle from overstretching and would be back soon. At least it has happened while we can do something about it.
Really, really would be a good time for an 'outta nowhere' incoming signing announcement

No discussion now.
No argument, no fannying around
The cheque book has to come out for a proper centre forward.
Nah mate, we're just the pantwetters ruining the forum!The sad and frustrating thing is that most of us could see these potential problems coming a mile off and here we are already. Just no urgency at the club.
We don’t seem to have much luck do we? Suppose you can argue that’s the risk of carrying a small squad.
Feels like the injuries hit all of the big players, or perhaps they’re just amplified in the media when that happens.
Either way: **** off.
But we need another midfielder as it is, that's before we get rid of Donk. What's the point in getting rid when he will actually be quite a handy player next season?Nobody is saying to just get rid of him for the sake of it, they're seeing it/him as a vital position/player to upgrade given the fact he's barely influenced a game of football for us in 3 years.
Percy stating we want a serious striking replacement who fits with our playing style.
If something were imminent he would have alluded more, says to me still a work in progress.
Hes not going to come out with some other news saying we are signing someone today. or interest
And prices will be increasing faster than gas as clubs will know we’re desperate. Rather sending our Chief Scout/head of recruitment to South America for him to never return he should have been sourcing a centre forward or two.Percy stating we want a serious striking replacement who fits with our playing style.

No excuses Wolves. Sort your **** out.
