Lets discuss Fabio and his future .

[Greeno]

Jesus there’s some nonsense on the mix but this is right up there with it. Did you ever see Messi in his early 20s with his flowing locks? Do you think he wasn’t taken seriously?? Or Ibrahimovic with his pony tail? How about that real man Mark Hateley??

As if a hair cut is going to transform him. The most ludicrous thing I’ve read in my entire life.

I'm playing along with this... but it's all a joke, surely?




....surely?

(please be.)

Actually I'm serious. You may not agree, thats OK.

Slightly tongue in cheek about the hair, although I'm not a fan myself, but I'd rather he wasn't so friendly to opposition players.

But he needs the respect of other men in this kind of environment, yes.

 

[Norway Wolves]

"Taken seriously by other men" really? I rest my case, this is exactly the problem with the attitudes of too many men in football and society as a whole.

In the environment tFabio is in it is actually important to be taken seriously by other men, and to gain that respect. He doesn't necessarily need short hair to get that but the point still stands.

He is not going to get it from wanting to hug and apologise to oppsition players all the time.

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

Hubbie and I have always called Silva Poodle Boy because of his hair - don’t think it makes any difference to how he plays though he just hasn’t got any talent and if a club comes in in January with a decent offer we should get rid he’s NEVER going to make it in the PL no matter how much time we give him.

So he’s going to get instant respect if he goes for a buzz cut?!?!?

He should start wearing stone island to training as well, no one will mess with him then.

Get a few sovereigns on his fingers, ACAB on his knuckles and tie his XL Bully up outside Compton. That’ll show he’s a real man and double hard!

 

[Norway Wolves]

Not necassarily, but I'd like him to man up a bit, yes.

 

[sc91]

What is it about Fabio's hairstyle that winds so many people up on the Mix? Too many ex-skinheads maybe.

Bunch of bald men arguing over a comb comes to mind.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Ah so a haircut will help him “man up”. I get it.

Christ have I hit quantum leap and somehow the 1950s has the internet.

What’s next are we calling him a big Jessie? I think we should send him on national service or head a ball made of a pigs bladder, play in hob nail boots and swap his water and pasta for banks’ mild and tripe

Not sure what "too many men in football" means tbh, Eastyorks.

Personally speaking, I did enjoy the Bully approach who had the knack of putting the fear of god in defenders, so much so much so that they often erred and made mistakes.
Perhaps that's an old school approach, although it seemed to work well for the likes of Costa when he was playing for Chelsea, I seem to recall.

But surely it depends what industry you are in, it's all relative.

I'm a prison officer and need to be a behave in a certain way if I.m going to be taken seriously here. It's just the way it is.

And by the way, we have some absolutely brilliant female officers here also, which is the worlds most progressive and humane prison system.

It's possible that in Fabios working environment that if he toughens up a bit and becomes a bit more aggressive it might help him to be successful.

The hair is not really so important, but his body language is.

Yeah, I'd rather he cut it, but who cares, it's his choice.

 

[steve vena]

Jota didn’t play in the premier league until he was 21

I loved Jota mate. So sad we've regressed so much.

Absolutely. Let's have a bit of tolerance on here for folk that maybe have a different opinion.

Yeah and did you see his haircut?

 

[steve vena]

I don’t have an issue with his hair

The post I replied to hinted at dramatic changes for young Fabio - so a new barnet might ignite him.

Get him a ponytail cut... It worked for Ibrahimovic . Insane difference in skill levels though...it probably wouldn't work for Fabio lol.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Will Haaland be even better if he gets a buzz cut?

 

[Norway Wolves]

No. But has something about him. Aggression, a will to win, intensity.

Fabio went round hugging opposition players when we are about to go out of the cup to lower league opposition.

It made me sick to the stomach.

Bellegarde shoved a player with his studs and got sent off. Which had a bigger impact on the result do you think?

 

[boyceywolf]

It doesn't matter about his hair, he does not have the ability / attitude to succeed at this level

 

[Golden Arrow]

That wasn't aggression but pure stupidity !

 

[Norway Wolves]

Ridiculous example - I never said he had to go to those lengths. But be more aggressive in his play.

Ok, it seems that you don't have the ability to discuss it sensibly.

 

[Norway Wolves]

And for that it clearly would help with a bit more aggression and ruthlessness.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Fabio hugged the player because he knew it was quite a bad challenge he caught him with (studs raised) and was fearful he may get a red. Nothing to read into that at all.

Personally, I’d still persevere with him as unlike our other strikers, he at least gets into decent positions. Would like to see him, Cunha and Neto all playing off Sasa at some point. A little like he did in the friendlies where he was playing slightly narrower on the right.

 

[Bob Wolf]

I think the only thing we can conclude from the scientific evidence that has been presented is that Fabio needs less hair and Bellegarde needs slightly more. I am assuming there is an optimal length of hair (or maybe mass - we will have to wait for the in depth follow-up trials to cover that one) that will give us the exact right amount of aggression!

I maybe wrong, but hasn't Fabio helped the opposition to get off the floor previously.

Re your first paragraph. I can't imagine Eddie Clamp or Psycho doing that. Can you? Oh for either of those in two today's squad. The guy from Luton certainly wouldn't have lasted the 90+. I do realise the game is different today. But their presence would just put the opposition off.
I once saw Dave Mackay run away from Eddie.

 

[Fifty Niner]

How many minutes does Silva have with Wolves without a goal, excluding friendlies?

 

[Bankswolf The Third]

Hugging players made you sick to your stomach?
God it must be bliss to live in Norway if that is the level of action that makes you sick to your stomach
Good lord.

Crikey, keep that quiet, otherwise he may receive a retrospective red.
There was a second hug to a different player, so perhaps he's dishing out more than we thought.
All we need now is goals and we're sorted.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

That’s it, Fabio is a serial hugger! Get him out of our club

 

[DJW]

If anyone needs a hair cut it's Matt Doherty, Dear lord above.

How about the one where their defender dragged him back by his shirt when we were on the break to try and score?

Fabio basically thanked him for it

I thought I'd read some **** on the mix recently, but those on about his hair - really?

It’s spectacular that adults genuinely think a haircut will improve his game.

 

[Irish_Wolf]

GON has challenged him to force his way back into contention. Tough love is what he needs, not a barber

A proper manager would get rid imo.

His wages are ridiculous.

 

[Bostin]

People don't like the way GON walks out the tunnel ffs. Molineux Mix at it's finest

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Nothing to prove this but I genuinely believe he doesn't want to be here. He plays like his hearts not in it and he wants away. There is obviously something going on in the background where he comes on after Fraser. For me I think I'd let him go in Jan or certainly next summer and write off a large chunk of the £35 mil. A joke buy in the first place.

 

[Irish_Wolf]

He needs to grow a beard and get viking style tattoos on his face. That will get him to maybe 2 goals a season.

Bit like putting a wee plastic sticker down the side of your Ford Fiesta for extra horsepower.

Up there with the criticism Matt Wild got for wearing a jumper and trainers in the office.

 

[Norway Wolves]

I don't think anyone genuinely thinks or meant that a haircut will improve his game.

But maybe part of a change of mentality because he genuinely does need to be more aggressive in his line of work to be more successfull.
