I didn't realise he was at Wolves as a youth coach. I always liked him as a player. Made the best of his attributes.

Look forward to him being unveiled as our new DOF in 4 months

I’ve heard he’s starting against Watford if Mexico play silly buggers over Raul.

Can he start now?

I found this bit interesting -

'There is a natural expectation that Vassell's time working in Wolves' academy is a stepping stone to a more high-profile role. He does not see it that way. "If money were a driving factor, then possibly, but I do not know if I would enjoy it as much," he explains.

"Not many people seem to just want to coach youngsters. I always speak to the hierarchy at Wolves because they want to know what I want to do, what my end goal is. I don't know the answer to that yet but I do know that I really enjoy what I am doing. It is fun."'

Are professional clubs undervaluing youth coaches? I don't how much youth coaches are paid at professional clubs, but I would have thought they should be highly valued.

No way he starts over Jeff Shi.

No way he starts over Jeff Shi.

Jeff may be injured with the amount of times he tripped up on Tuesday.

No way he starts over Jeff Shi.

I'd have either of them over Kieffer Moore
