Raúl Jiménez Appreciation Thread

[Golden_Wolf]

Best of luck Raul. Hopefully you continue the form from last season.

The best no9 I've seen in my time here. David ****ing Luiz. I'll never forgive him.

That’s a bit naughty

 

[Darvo]

All the best Raul ... you were a pleasure and a real joy to watch

 

[Evthewolf]

If you had given me 20 guesses, I wouldn’t have come up with that one.

Begs the question, what are Fulham seeing, that we aren’t?

Someone has to be right and the other wrong but which way around?

Up until his injury, my favourite player. Sadly, Raul and ourselves were robbed of the last few seasons.

Without injury, I think he would have equaled or even surpassed Rubén’s status. Will always have a soft spot for Raul. Good luck, top man.

I know, I accidentally hit submit before my last line.

I suspect he will be decent for them. His injury masked the decline in our attacking play overall as a team in my opinion.

 

[Bill McCai]

Great player for us. In his first two seasons his stats were phenomenal;

Played 99
Goals 43
Assists 18

 

[Dans la Lune]

Probably the most "Sliding Doors" moment in recent Premier League history. If the Raul/Luis challenge had been slightly differently timed, we would have retained our talismanic striker, Silva could have been played-in without the added pressure, Nuno may have maintained his enthusiasm and we would have been spared the Bruno Lage cul de Sac.

I don't think we ever truly realised how good, or how important, he was in that spell until he got injured. Truly one of the best strikers we've ever had.

 

[The Pie Poker]

Gutted he's gone to another PL team. For peanuts as well.

For peanuts what fee were you expecting

 

[The Pie Poker]

For peanuts what fee were you expecting

It's a nominal fee, a round of drinks basically.

I'd rather keep Raul than get £5m, maybe this is the season he rediscovers something? We're short of strikers. 5m for Raul is great business for Fulham.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

For Rauls sake hope he passes the medical, I'm gutted at the way it's ended, it broke me seeing him so upset at the end of last season, like Ruben, we will always love you xxx

 

[StaffordWolf]

What a player we had! Good luck Raul, you'll always have a place in Wolves fans hearts!

 

[the 15th Wanderer]

At his best the most complete striker I have seen at Wolves. Will get a welcome from me next season. You could see how upset he was when he never got on against Everton.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Good luck to him, though I wonder whether he is being signed a squad player. I’m not sure he will get into Fulham’s starting eleven. That injury has left him not the player he once was.

 

[waveney wolf]

He may we'll do better in a more attacking team with a more attack minded manager.
Thanks and good luck, you deserve it

 

[SE10 Wolf]

Best of luck Raul. Hopefully you continue the form from last season.

The best no9 I've seen in my time here. David ****ing Luiz. I'll never forgive him.

Echo that. Luiz is and was a thug. May he light a cigarette from a spitting candle soon...

Honestly, I think some of you lot would keep him forever on almost £100k a week because he was great a few years ago.

A lot has happened since and I'm shocked Raul is getting another shot in the Prem, his performances have unfortunately been far short of the required standard since his horrific injury. Not knocking him and it's understandable as to why but there can be no sentiment in this game.

All the best to him but £5m+ adds ons is a great deal for possibly the least threatening CF in the Prem at the moment.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Bloody hell, I don't see myself as overly twitchy, but an incoming player or two would really help my nerves about now. Good job everyone's fit, when the injuries start that bench is going to need booster cushions.

 

[SanFranWolf]

Bully excepted, Raul has been the best Centre Forward I’ve seen play for us. One of my most favourite players of all time.

An absolute legend, will be welcomed back to Wolverhampton any time.

 

[UEAwolf]

All the more galling that Lopetegui didn’t give him a proper send off at Molineux for the last home game - and for what? A point against Everton? Pathetic.

Good luck Raul. Another end of a fabulous era.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

I wish him the very, very best for his future (which is the exact opposite of what I wish for David Luiz).

I really think JL just wants rid of players he didn't sign.

Fulham's second and third strikers were up for sale, so they're after a backup anyway, then accelerated by Mitrovic now refusing to play in pre-season, so they moved quick for somebody with PL experience? Coupled with Lopetegui wanting to change the squad and clearly Raul isn't in his plans.

Makes sense all round I think. I could see him scoring 8-10 for them if he's fit.

 

[Tojo the grass]

I hope he finds some decent form at Fulham, I also hope we finish above them.

 

[loppers86]

Thanks Raul.

I remember him following in a total lost cause in the friendly with Villareal (?) that was his first game. He was something special until that lunatic nearly killed him.

great memories - you will never be forgotten.

 

[Golden Arrow]

We've had some great goalscorers in my lifetime of watching Wolves and Raul Jiminez is very much part of that select club.
I wish him both good fortune and good health; to see him score against us would (for me) be a massive mind ****.

More than anyone at Wolves scored last season then?

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Was hoping he'd move abroad, I don't want to see him lining up against us, no doubt peak Raul will turn up for those fixtures

 

[Rauls Headband]

Looks like the end of the road for the best Wolves striker in modern memory. Despedida, senor.

Very sad day, but unfortunately seemed inevitable. Hope he finds his shooting boots again at Fulham, just not against us.

Best of luck to him, he’s left behind some incredible memories.

 

[zedkiel60]

Thank you Raul its been a pleasure watching you in a wolves shirt. Good luck for the future(just not against us)

 

[Starsky]

Arguably the most elite player in his position we had in the glorious Nuno years.

Legend.

 

[Ned]

Usually I hope players we sell to clubs in our league fail miserably but I’ll make an exception for Raul.

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

I don't think we ever truly realised how good, or how important, he was in that spell until he got injured. Truly one of the best strikers we've ever had.

Our entire system relied on him really, and it only became apparent the extent to which this was the case when he got injured.

 

[Pagey]

Wish him the best of luck, will never forget the header v liverpool, deserved a send off.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Damn…..was hoping he‘d still be with us at least one more season. He’s still got goals in him in an attacking team.

I hope he and his family enjoy their time at Fulham and he’s scores lots of goals…… just not against Wolves.

Thanks senor.

 

[jrpb-3]

Right up there with the best we’ve had. Unfortunately that so far he’s not shown more than the odd glimpse he’s getting any sort of form back after the injury, so understandable that he’s clearly not in Lopeteguis plan’s. Wish him all the best at Fulham (except against us) maybe the change will be the spark he needs to regain some form fingers crossed

 

[Wiltshire Wolfie]

Si, Senor, gracias. Hopefully you will get a better service there than what you had here over the last year or two. If it had not been for that scumbag David Luiz, who knows where we could have gone on to...after beating Arsenal in that game I think we had got up to sixth ( or seventh) place. You will get a great reception at the Mol if and when you come here, just have a bad day and do not score against us....unless we are four up already... Thanks for the goals and the many good memories.

 

[Liskeard wolf]

Another hero going .Thanks for the memories Raul.
Good luck for the future, apart from against us.
