Not big per se, a similar frame to Raul, uses his size well.. think he’s 6ft 2.He doesn’t look that big to me. I am not sure about him at all.
Been well marshalled today, but Coventry haven’t created anything for him yet.

Coventry haven't had a shot on target yet with 80+ minutes gone. Seems Gyokeres would fit in well at Wolves.He doesn’t look that big to me. I am not sure about him at all.
I'm tending to agree with you Andy watching the play- off match Coventry V Boro and I've seen him before in a few games on tv..I don't want gyokeres, he's not a PL striker
Similar player to Fabio Silva on that viewing todayI'm tending to agree with you Andy watching the play- off match Coventry V Boro and I've seen him before in a few games on tv..
He looks slow and ponderous comparing Gyokeres to Haaland it's like comparing a Mini to a Ferrari
He ain't got that explosive pace that you need for a top PL player / striker these days
Same has been said ALOT about Mitrovich. Gyokeres will score goals and improve his game alongside imo. Brighton having him says alot, it was Gyokeres that didn't feel loved and wanted to moveI don't want gyokeres, he's not a PL striker
No, you watch some of the players (English ones included) and they do walk or slowly jog when they should be sprinting or running to get back or give an option.I think we’ve slowly but surely created a squad that would probably be great in La Liga and the Portuguese Super Liga but not the Premier League.
Although we sometimes look like we lack effort, I think it’s more a case that our general lack of pace and physicality means that in some games the players are chasing shadows.
I find it hard to be too critical of our forwards, as they are so starved of any decent service and frequently have to drop virtually into midfield to get the ball. If they were frequently missing sitters, it would be different.
JL’s got to find a blend of the right players that can get us higher up the pitch without leaving us over exposed at the back. A lot of our players have played under 4 different managers (including the temp manager) at Wolves and our sideways and backwards tendency has remained a constant.
We have already tried upgrading by spending loads of cash and look what we’ve got. Semedo, Guedes, Nunes, Cunha, etc. Not one of them has shone. Not saying they are bad players but for the money, disappointing would be an understatement.We need to spend a shed load of cash to get anywhere near the top eight. There’s many players past their sell by , many players not good enough , some players we need to keep
I don’t think FOSUN are going to furnish JL with enough cash for him to sort this **** out and even if they did , won’t FFP be an issue
It’s been a mess since we sold Jota and Doherty and then downgraded the team with their “ replacements “. Couple this with Rauls awful injury and we have drifted into a position that is not totally irreversible but it’s going to cost a lot more now than if proper investment had been forthcoming back then
You reap what you sow
Agree. Lemina drops deep and then carries it forward with pace. Neves does it to usually then just play a safe ball that the defender could easily make, so it just sets us back 20/30/40 yards.For me, Lemina is better in that deep role, he has an engine and seems to be able to cover that deep area in front of Kilman and Dawson, on his own.
I think we have energy, pace and dynamism in Gomes and maybe Bouba but you are right we need more players like this.Because they have players who actually try things.
We pass for the sake of it, they pass with a purpose. This is why I defended Podence yesterday. Yes, he gives it away, but he does try things and can make things happen.
There's zero pace in our side. There's no intensity, so we don't get numbers in the box. We just pass, pass, pass, and no matter where we are, we end up backwards.
It nearly summer it up when Antony had the great chance early on after Kilman slipped. We had a throw in their half and THEY ended up having a great chance from it, all because of our negativity.
We need energy, pace and dynamism this summer.
Don’t you think Neves wants the move, not because he doesn’t love being at Wolves, just time for him to find out what he is capable of. He admitted that last season he almost went, I have no doubt he is doing his best for us, however in his heart he want to be at a bigger club, I don’t think any of us begrudge him the opportunity.Neves is no problem at all... totally sums up the delusion.....clearly our best player. ....else he wouldn't be looking to move for champions league football.....Neves will leave a massive whole in the team .....our talisman, our captain, nearly our leading goalscorer....what more can he do......don't worry I will laugh at anybody who suggests otherwise ...
Yes off course...I dont begrudge him at all ..just took offense to the 'time to go'.... straight after the game...post from yesterday that was basically implying he was holding us back in midfield ...Don’t you think Neves wants the move, not because he doesn’t love being at Wolves, just time for him to find out what he is capable of.

No doubt he has been a great player, but the transition from a back 3 to a 4 has made quite a few players look off their game. Hopefully we all get what we want Neves gets the opportunity to play CL and we get a more balanced squad, with a more attacking mindset.Yes off course...I dont begrudge him at all ..just took offense to the 'time to go'.... straight after the game...post from yesterday that was basically implying he was holding us back in midfield ...
He is by far our best player still.....
My worry here is, we are going to have to sell most of them at a lower value than we’d have hoped for a year ago.Complete rebuild. JL has seen enough of this squad.
I reckon Jonny, Raul, Neves, Nunes, Semedo, Sarabia, Adama and RAN are gone, Kilman too if Newcastle offer silly money. Possibly Neto as well.
Don't think any of Fabio, Sanderson, Cundle, Giles, Corbeanu or Lonwijk will pass muster so they will be sold or loaned again.
4 or 5 players from Spain/Portugal to come in along with 1 or 2 homegrown.
We’re selling everyone.Would anyone mind, summarising where things are and who we’re linked with please?
And buying everyone.We’re selling everyone.

Hope we are looking at becoming big players in the South American market. Brilliant value and it has worked an absolute treat for Brighton.
Two lads at Palmerias linked….Hope we are looking at becoming big players in the South American market. Brilliant value and it has worked an absolute treat for Brighton.
Yep. Hopefully a few more this summer.Joao Gomes.
This was a rhetorical question . It shows graphically what has to change next season.This last Man United match show exactly what our position is.
Possession WWFC 52% - Man Utd 48%
Shots on target WWFC 0 - Man Utd 9
How does that happen ?
All forwards ba Cunha and Costa should be sold (Neto included)This last Man United match show exactly what our position is.
Possession WWFC 52% - Man Utd 48%
Shots on target WWFC 0 - Man Utd 9

Agree re Cunha, but Costa should go. May give Neto more time as wellAll forwards ba Cunha and Costa should be sold (Neto included)
Our forwards have been far too inconsistent since jota left and Raul lost his mojo. Podence Neto Hwang jiminez Sarabia(maybe) all need to go.
We need 11 Joao Gomes’.No, you watch some of the players (English ones included) and they do walk or slowly jog when they should be sprinting or running to get back or give an option.
I think they are technically good ball players, but movement and getting into space or in behind has been an issue for some time and that is another massive part of our problem.
We have signed the majority of a squad who just don’t have that drive and intensity in them to bust a gut and do what is needed to be in the chance to potentially make a difference or get on the end of something.
The attitudes of some of the players isn’t the right one to be succesful on the pitch in a competitive environment like the premier league, it is why the training videos look so much better than what they show on a matchday when they take to the field.
Fit in well with our strikers thenI don't want gyokeres, he's not a PL striker
Akpom and Giles together again but playing for us.Akpom has 28 ,Gyokres 21 and Morris at Luton 20
We should look at whoever doesn't get promoted.
Fair cop, I thought nobody would notice…Wait, isn't that what we pay YOU for...?
