The Boob, Hwang, Hubner and RAN at AFCON/Asia Cup

[Northampton_wolf]

Issa Kaboré - Player profile 23/24 perfect Semedo replacement? Nelson will have one season left on us deal soon…

Going to cost a penny

 

[Streathamwolf]

Yep unfortunately agree with that, gutted about their injury time equaliser
They should win their last game but fingers crossed they don’t

Personally I wish RAN and Algeria the best of luck. Will be important for him to see his country go further.

Agreed!

Bound to qualify if they beat bottom of the table Mauritania aren't they? Sounds like they'll be fine.

Looking very good playing in central midfield. Something we could look at when he returns. He is very good on the ball.

Pretty much since he hit the under 23s he’s been the player (for me) that would eventually end up in the first team.

This tournament looks to be helping him hugely and as a central midfielder.

Sounds like you really rate him

That's superb to see. Looks like he's been playing in midfield and defence in the 2 games Indonesia have played so far. Really hope we see him make a debut before the end of the season for us.

If you’ve got one eye on the future I’d rather replace Nelson with Nelson and a fresh deal

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

He’s always looked a “player” to me, played centre back I imagine due to his size but I’m not suprised he’s been pushed further forward as he’s always looked supremely confident on the ball.

It’s hard to judge the youth players, I go to at least 10 or so games a season plus watch the ones on YouTube so I see a fair amount of games but they develop at different paces and some seem to “stop” or don’t develop at all. Some of it is down to physique, some it’s mentality, injuries etc. we’ve had a few I’ve had high hopes for recently in Lonwijk and Marques who have stalled due to injury (hubner has had them to). It’s why it’s so frustrating when people write off the academy as not producing enough when up and down the country the percentage of academy players who “make it” at that club is tiny.

 

[Monketron]

Hosts Ivory Coast look to be going out, huge shock.

Probably had a decent chance of going through as one of the best placed thirds, but I'm not so sure with a 4-0 thumping!

 

[Skrilla]

Ghana knocked out of AFCON. Kudus goes back to West Ham early...

 

[Skrilla]

Algeria playing Mauritania now. Quite cagey. If Algeria lose, they're out, and RAN comes home. If they draw, think they still have a good chance of going through in 3rd place.

Standard of AFCON is a lot higher now than it used to be.

 

[Skrilla]

1-0 to Mauritania. They've never won a game at AFCON.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

****ing hell ran might be coming home.

Genuinely love to see him tear baggies a new areshole down the left

Doubt he would play Sunday will be given extra days rest

Let me dream! But true would be great to have him for united though and strengthening up the left instead of doc

Don’t get the hatred of Doc he’s not 25 anymore and had a class game last night along with Semedo. Defensively sound. RAN good at attacking because he’s much younger! If he’s back great. Important keep him out of the red zone

No hate on doc played well and ran into box and made great runs centrally just doesn't have the pace to get up and down so leaves hole in behind and he struggles with a press whereas ran can beat his man

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Ran running nicely in this Mauritania game , Mauritania have 11 mins to hold on to something special for them and ran will be home

 

[waggys left foot]

Ait will be back for Manure if Algeria to out

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Ait will be back for Manure if Algeria to out

He’s coming home. It’s the taking part that counts lad

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Ait will be back for Manure if Algeria to out

Why not back for Sunday? No reason why not?

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Why not back for Sunday? No reason why not?

Because with the timescale it’s a lot to expect plus he’s had zero time off. They’ll want to give him a few days im sure

 

[Northampton_wolf]

He's coming home. Mauritania lose. Ran still sprinting back at 102 mins he will be fine nice and fit

 

[SuperGran]

He’s coming home he’s coming home RaN is coming home

 

[Northampton_wolf]

What a bonus that is ran and João gomes ready for manure

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Sorry RAN but absolutely buzzing with that.

I expect him to start on the bench on Sunday in honesty, but what an option to have from the bench.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Come on Ryan
Get on that plane and come home tomorrow
YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU

 

[Tipton Wolves]

He must be ready for Sunday never mind Thursday.

 

[S G Wolves]

Home on Wednesday.

Recover Thursday to Saturday.

Smash the ****e on Sunday.

Can't see what's the problem.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

He's coming home
He's coming home
He's coming
RAN is coming home

[StaffordWolf]

RAN like a new signing.

That's what I think. I would love him to play and humiliate them lot with his skill but think it's a bit too fast of a turnaround realistically.
