Exactly this hes gone and wanted to go bye
Exactly
Looks better by the day,
He had a contract and there is no indication that he would not have stuck to it. You dont know what this new contract might have been like.
In all fairness Grealish and Guedes are 27 and 25 and have racked up a lot more games than MGW who is only 22. He was very young when he first played for us and to compare him to both of those you mention is paper thin. Despite Guedes being experienced he has not exactly hit the ground running for all the clamour about him over the last few years. And Grealish some years ago would not have been wanted by many on this site.
Not having that, lage was appearing to build the team around him in pre season, captaining him, starting every game, and at the beginning of the season, one of the first names on the sheet.
I dont disagree with you but as far as I know they are very different players.
We dont know but maybe Lage wanted him to stay but MGW did not trust those higher than him.
Lage definitely wanted him to stay, and wanted him back in jan last year from sheffield, thats clear, it looked like he was building the team around him, it really did
Or you could say we sold him very quickly. Contracts go both ways. If Morgan did not feel confident that he would be played then of course he would be open to moving on. Forest wanted him more than we did. Would you not go to somewhere where they wanted you/
Where is the evidence we didn't want him. It appears Bruno did.
I have no problem with it at all, if he wanted to play 4:2:3:1 then he should have done it, they were the best he had available during pre-season to play that system. Pre-season you home it and get players used to it so that new player slot in as seamlessly as possible. The problem is, like last season he hasn’t stuck to it. It would have made more sense to do pre-season as one half 4:2:3:1 and the other 4:3:3 to bed in both systems with fit players but he did the latter due to injury rather than design. Raul’s injury meant that we started Hwang up front for Leeds but that’s how the system should work. Hwang isn’t an ideal like for like replacement for Raul but it’s better to do that than go to a false nine using a munchkin as the false 9. Guedes had come in when MGW left, they played together vs Fulham and even with MGW leaving Guedes, Neto or Podence can play the middle role of the 3. In fact they should be fluid but for some reason (Lage) they are not.
More this comment bawtry, i was all for him playing the personnel and the favoured positions
The evidence is that we sold him. We didn't need to as he was on contract. True that MGW could have forced Wolves to honour their side of the contract but if a club is propared to sell you then it is not unreasonable to think that you might be better off somewhere else that you know wants you.
Looks as though the tricks 'n' flicks are not impressing this person at least.
I'd rather have a real 9 myself than both of em Andy, LOL
Dont disagree with that. The whole “false 9” thing is “emperor’s new clothes” really.
He's had stints in the Premier League for how many years now? 4? And he's had 3 goal contributions in 50+ appearances. He's not a good player at this level. He doesn't think the game fast enough. He's a Championship caliber player. I'm not even sure he's as impactful as Helder Costa, who flopped in the Premier League.
I really wonder if any football fan knows exactly what "False 9 " actually means, completely gone over my head,
That Morgan Gibbs White kid, sure plays a mean through ball
Who?
How do you think he does it?
I don’t know
What makes him so good?
Aint got no distractions
But there are some on here that are too deaf, dumb and blind to see it
Nandor Hidegkuti was the original false 9, gave our own Billy Wright the run around for the Mighty Magyars. Just like the "modern day" formations, all been done before, only they used terms like half backs, WM formation, inside forwards, deep lying forwards, not quite as snappy and mystical as the terms used today though
