Raul Jimenez

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

that's what i've been saying. mexico will be 3 and out. he'll be back in 2 weeks.

Will he though?

 

[KBWWFC]

Will he though?

He'll be having surgery when his injection wears off.

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

All over. Mexico are naff

Only saw 30 mins but Raul looked to be putting himself about and had a few nice touches.

That's good news then and lets hope Mexico don't get any further than the Group stages and Raul is back fit at Compton after that training with JL his gaffer now

 

[Ned]

This will be the game changer from a fans sense, I feel.

 

[WickedWolfie]

He’s being sarcastic repeating some of the pathetic and ridiculous comments that people are making on here

Ah, then l owe apologies to @I'm the Wanderer. The problem is that it wasn't that far in tone from genuine posts.

 

[SuperGran]

To keep playing for Mexico then us will he keep needing injections? Surely something is wrong if this is the case? And to be honest he'll never be the player we remember; Jimenez's issues go way beyond a groin problem.

He’s only played 45 minutes in a friendly it’s still to be seen whether he will take part in any competitive games I agree with you that it’s more than just a groin injury

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

I’ve said before I wouldn’t be surprised if he retires. Can’t say I’d hold that against him either it’s just the lack of communication has caused all this hearsay and made this situation worse. It could have been handled so much better, from all parties.

 

[Wolf 82]

It isn’t our place but we hold his contract. If we thought he was fit enough and it was beneficial to all parties then we’d have heard something from the club regarding him going to the WC

I think we’re naturally cautious and concerned that his injury might get worse playing for Mexico.. that’s bad news for Wolves.

If the route of peoples anger is that Raul wants to try and play in his last World Cup for his country, in spite of the risk, then I think that’s a bit unreasonable.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Actually, I lead the line in posting this every time mocking those who have said it numerous times.

I am 100% being sarcastic when I post that.

Sorry mate, l missed where you were coming from. I should, having seen your other posts, have twigged.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

Will he though?

do you want him to?

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

I don't know why there is so much debate and anger over this. Raul has not been the same player since he broke his skull. I am grateful he is still alive but frankly, I am surprised he is still playing. If he wants to try to help Mexico in a world cup that's fine, but he isn't good enough to lead the line for Wolves. We need to move on.

This I agree with

 

[AndyWolves]

Is this representative? Doesn't look like he can sprint

If he’d have been with the club for the past month (he could still have gone and got a second opinion or whatever) then I don’t think anyone would question it.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

Have I said "eff you Luiz" yet? if i haven't, i just did.

 

[Ned]

I think Davies mentioned him and obviously Lopetegui made a big thing of saying he wasn’t fit
but I agree on the social media side

Tonight, a simple good luck tweet or some form of acknowledgment would have gone a long way and wouldn’t have been difficult to do.

It’s just strange.

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

I’d be happy if he bagged a goal at the World Cup and retired. Came back to molineux, said thank you and goodbye.

 

[Pagey]

It’s because he’s not been fit enough to even train with us for the past month and through pure coincidence is now fit…

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but surely if he was fit enough, then getting minutes against Arsenal would have benefitted both Raul and Mexico?

 

[SuperGran]

What do you mean been with the club though?

there were a few plays where he impressed me with his speed. that video does him no favors.

It’s a friendly not a competitive game.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Mexico Poland will be the game that determines their fate you would think and that is their first game. I really hope he gets up to speed a little during the tournament should he be selected and just maybe he can get a good amount of minutes in the last group game against Saudi Arabia.

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

Well being in the same country would be a start but I mean being at Compton. It’s not like the whole Mexico squad have been together for the past month.

 

[Ned]

It’s a friendly not a competitive game.

It’s his first game in ages, just a simple tweet. Anything really. I feel the club are letting everybody know that they aren’t on board with this without actually saying anything.

Poland 3- Mexico 0

you heard it here first.

 

[Wolf 82]

I guess if that’s a problem for you, then it makes sense.

As we assessed his fitness and didn’t think him capable of playing against Arsenal (which looks very wise judging on tonight), then I don’t really care where he is recovering. But that’s just me.

I think the real fear here is he gets worse playing for Mexico, or does the operation straight after the World Cup.

 

[Darvo]

Good luck and the very best wishes Raul.

You gave me some of the most precious, very special moments in my Wolves supporting lifetime.

Like others on here, I know next to nothing about your injury details ... but frankly I don’t care ... after what you’ve been through, you fully deserve a crack at helping your country in your last ever World Cup.

 

[SuperGran]

He was at Compton recently, it’s not unusual for players to return to their own country whilst injured, Neto did as did adama recently

 

[SuperGran]

After Lopetegui said he didn’t want Raul to go as he’s not fit the club can’t say anything really

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

Si Senor..Least we forget Raul is a winner and champion as an Olympic Gold medalist with Mexico. and as such will not go down without fighting.
Just like how he fought back to play for Wolves after that horrendous head injury that could have taken his life. Yet he came back from that to be Wolves all time top scorer in the PL. He ain't finished hopefully just yet and when hopefully he comes back from the WC in Qatar he will for sure do his best to fight for Wolves with Julen as winners to help us stay in the Premier League

It just makes me ask why?

Why would he rather be away on his own (in regards of fellow professionals) recovering than with his club around his team mates?

Have we done something to **** him off? Does he just want to be in Mexico? Has he given up on playing for us again? Too much speculation which is the problem for me.

I think that’s a nice message to close the thread on.

Can't see that. Poland are pretty crap at the moment and being the first game it is likely to be a pretty dour affair.

Why does Neto spend his time recuperating in Portugal

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

He was at Compton recently, it’s not unusual for players to return to their own country whilst injured, Neto did as did adama recently

Yes I accept that but not for prolonged periods and not usually when they are anywhere close to being match fit. If I’m not mistaken he was at Compton for a day or two? That’s not a lot compared to the time he’s been away.

 

[SuperGran]

I wish they would

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

Is neto in the Portugal squad for the World Cup and just played 45 mins in a friendly?

 

[SuperGran]

Maybe it’s better for his mental health that was alluded to by Steve Davis perhaps he just feels more comfortable in his own country

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Where would you rather be?

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

Perhaps. I hope it does him the world of good and he comes back fit, happy and scoring goals. Sadly, going off his most recent form for us I think we need better to stay up. Whatever happens I hope he doesn’t leave on a sour note because he’s given us some great times.
