Raul out for 8 weeks! Signing/ signings needed now Shi and Sellars. You couldnt make this **** up! Most of us knew the risk in letting Fabio go without an imminent replacement and it has happened. Absolute disaster. We will be going to Portugal and starting the season with no recognised striker at this rate.

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.

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.

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.

At least the expensive back up will have had all pre-season to get used to the new system & team mates…

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

Well 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
Percy’s comments suggest nothing is imminent unfortunately

Total and utter mismanagement, nothing else. Overly reliant on 1 senior CF for last few seasons. Buck stops with Shi and Sellers. They'd better pull something out of the hat QUICK. Trouble is we're now in a very weak position as everyone will know we're ****ed.

What a complete and utter mess our striker options out....we needed someone in when he had Raul and Silva so now to have nothing is beyond a joke.

They have no excuses now as we will lost him for the best part of 3 months so over to you Sellars and Jeff.

Knee injury I thought he had a groin injury ?

Anyway we shouldn't be in this position to begin with, shockingly incompetent recruitment, and ownership at this point

Thats the trouble when the powers that be leave the squad too small.

Luckily the football world is honourable & charitable. No way other clubs will pull our pants down over transfer fees for a replacement now they know we’re desperate I’m sure.

We need a Mendes filth deal now like never before. I suspect we’ll be selling a very cheap Neves to whomever sells us their striker this time next year… or even in Jan.

Sellars you idiot.

Won't see a fit Raul before the stupid World Cup break. You know that we're also due another long term injury as well, cause we have to have three or more at any one time. Can we not allow, Neto, Neves, Joao, Kilman, Collins, Sa, to play again before the Leeds game?

What's Andre Silva up to these days?

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.
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?

Fits in with our playing style eh? How long have these people known we need a striker for? Why loan out Fabio and take the huge risk of Raul getting injured? Quite unbelievable.

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.

You do know there is more than one scout right?
