Thought he did better than I expected at the Euros...but still not very good. He wasn't terrible, but still, Denmark generally had 10 better players than Braithwaite on the pitch
Now if it was Dolberg, Damsgaard or Kjaer, on the other hand...
<EDIT> Just looked up Damsgaard, honestly didn't realise he played for Cambridge! Was impressed by him at the Euros, thought he'd be another at RB Leipzig, Dortmund or something. Only 21...gerriminimo!
Probably true. Why would he want to come here to sit on the bench?View attachment 22677He’s not joining us and his agent has just slagged off wolves and mendes which — especially disrespecting the latter one — can’t be good for your career
Think you have been had by Wikipedia there my friend Damsgaard plays for Sampdoria. They do apparantly want Cutrone though...
Why should we want him? He has worse stats in la liga than his majesty willian Jose in a much better sideProbably true. Why would he want to come here to sit on the bench?
Exactly.A third option who the **** is Martin Braithwaite.

Braithwaite plays for BarcelonaThomas Gravesen and Royston Drenthe also played for Real Madrid.
I'm all for players for specific roles. System thinking, sum of the parts greater than the whole, etc, but I just don't see what value he brings at all. We won't have a huge transfer budget, we have positions that require reinforcement arguably even more than up front, and unless we have specific concerns about Raul's sustained comeback, I'd have thought if we were to bring in another forward it would be a pacy front man that plays off the shoulder.
..........and that's the way it is!He sounds like a newsreader lol
Martin Brathwaite, news at 10.......Wolverhampton
That will be his ex-agent fairly soon. Mendes is liquidising Barca’s assets for them and we will be buying Martin as part of an agreement made when we signed Trincao. The other agent will be collateral damage.View attachment 22677He’s not joining us and his agent has just slagged off wolves and mendes which — especially disrespecting the latter one — can’t be good for your career
We seem to have a few excellent squad players though and his record is not really any better than Cutrone in goals per game ratioThat will be his ex-agent fairly soon.

I don’t mind though - excellent squad player who won’t rock the boat.
His attitude is superb to be a squad playerWe seem to have a few excellent squad players though and his record is not really any better than Cutrone in goals per game ratio
We need excellent first 11 players IMO .
So is conor Coady but he didn't get a kick in the Euro's as not deemed good enough as others ahead of him.His attitude is superb to be a squad player
I'm not sure Cutrone has a very good attitude to be a squad player. Mir ain't coming back whatever.So is conor Coady but he didn't get a kick in the Euro's as not deemed good enough as others ahead of him.
So why waste your money when Cutrone or Mir could be similar and those funds could be used to sign a first team CD or CM that we need.
I think Mendes is probably liquidating Barca's assets unless he's putting them in a blender to make soup. OK, maybe liquidising is correct wrt Braithwaite.That will be his ex-agent fairly soon.

Who is Braithwaite anyway?View attachment 22677He’s not joining us and his agent has just slagged off wolves and mendes which — especially disrespecting the latter one — can’t be good for your career
I was aware (for once), just making the point that who he plays for is largely irrelevant. I'd have used the Ukrainian bloke as an example who did play for Barca, but couldn't remember how to spell his name!Braithwaite plays for Barcelona
People are never going to stop trotting out the "he plays for x and is an x international".I was aware (for once), just making the point that who he plays for is largely irrelevant. I'd have used the Ukrainian bloke as an example who did play for Barca, but couldn't remember how to spell his name!
