give him a new hair cut and tell him to fight for his place, ain't nowhere better than the PL. If he doe like that plan send him to Walsall.
Let's just buy older players from now on.Just sell him for whatever we can get
Because he is.... Unfortunately he has a price tag and is blamed for that.This video makes him look half-decent...
That's basically it isn't it? I'd love it if he came good.Because he is.... Unfortunately he has a price tag and is blamed for that.
Whats wrong with Walsall ?give him a new hair cut and tell him to fight for his place, ain't nowhere better than the PL. If he doe like that plan send him to Walsall.
he is playing in a pub league for a team that win every match pretty much. if he cant get confident there he has no hope.Did ok last night, missing a chance ( but so do lots of other strikers like the much more expensive Nunez of Liverpool).
Would like to think he would become the brilliant striker we were led to believe we were getting but I don't think he was handled very well at Wolves and has obviously lost his way and confidence, as well as match sharpness.
What have walsall done to deserve that...give him a new hair cut and tell him to fight for his place, ain't nowhere better than the PL. If he doe like that plan send him to Walsall.
this. he will have a decent enough career on the continent, not as a 9 either - think hes more of a supporting player like a 10 or the old inside leftDid ok last night, missing a chance ( but so do lots of other strikers like the much more expensive Nunez of Liverpool).

Sad when you think that’s the Neves profit ****ed up the wall…..If he does well at Rangers we might get £10m or so for him in the summer, a mere £25m loss, not taking into account his high wages... 70k or so a week?
If he does badly we will struggle to get even £10m and he will be loaned out again to a club like Anderlecht....with further prayers that he can actually score a few goals and prevent his value from plummeting even more.
Where to start?Whats wrong with Walsall ?
If only that video told the truth. He was signed as a goalscorer. He just isn't one....at the top level at least. If only he was. His link up play is pretty good and he is a bit more physically robust now. However overall his game has been unconvincing. Its a bit of a tragedy as he is a nice guy and all that. Perhaps he is too nice to succeed in the ruthless role of striker. We will see what happens at Rangers in a lower tier of football. But I will be very surprised if he is not sold or at least loaned out again in the summer.Because he is.... Unfortunately he has a price tag and is blamed for that.
He absolutely is... but unfortunately, we're playing against teams where half-decent won't cut it, week in and week out.This video makes him look half-decent...
I agree with you. We've had several managers now that aren't convinced about him. They can't all be wrong.Said in the summer, we probably had a decent chance to sell and cut some of our losses......
I've always backed him but it's in both sides interest to move on...
Keep him here only if Albion get promoted.
On the basis that 50% of his 4 Premier League goals were against Albion.
Could we reloan him back just for sunday?
It's an interesting point though. That 50% of his goals were against one of the worst teams the PL has ever seen. And last season, he had a pattern of scoring for Anderlecht against the weaker teams, then struggled more when moving from the Belgian league to the higher ranked Dutch league. All suggests that his level is top end of the Championship at best.
Still young, so I think he could well eventually end up scoringa a few for a mid-level top division side. Don't think he's going to ever be a real top striker though.
I find it odd anyone sees him as worthless. I think a mixture of the fee and how he has been handled by us clouds some peoples judgements. I'm sure there are loads of comparisons but the only recent one that comes to mind to come from the apparent pub league Fabio performed in last year is Cody Gakpo, who is 3 years older and was signed for £37m plus add on's. His break out season was 21/22 and he finished on 20 goals, 4 more than the younger and worthless Fabio?he is playing in a pub league for a team that win every match pretty much. if he cant get confident there he has no hope.
i think he was loaned to avoid us crystalising a book loss which adversely affects FFP. The club know he is probably worth less but by getting him playing they might convince the auditors not to write his value down

Put him in the long boat til he's soberWhat should Wolves do next with Fabio Silva?
Didnt say he was worthless. But not worth what his asset value is in our books. Totally different thing. I think his biggest issue is attitude but that might change as he maturesI find it odd anyone sees him as worthless.

Was he worth £35m as a 17 year old absolutely not, but he had no say in the fee. Raul's injury is probably the most unfortunate part of all this, because peoples mind were made up when we slung a 17/18 year old with very little senior football in and expected him to carry us. He's 3rd on the Portuguese u21 all time scorers and still going, coupled with last season shows he knows where the goal is. I'm sure he will go on to have a very good career in Spain, Portugal, Italy etc and end up with full international honours.
I see a player with good close control, a great touch, not much pace, and good movement that gets him into a lot of good positions for chances.I find it odd anyone sees him as worthless.

And he is on the bench again todayHave said all along that I would have liked Fabio to be loaned to a championship club for the season where he is likely to start most games. Loaning him to Coventry as a replacement for Gyokeres would have been perfect and would have given us a really good idea of where he is at. I can't help feeling that going to Rangers is a bit of a cop out somehow.
