let's watch this....maybe put a smile on our faces:
Will you doubting Thomas's look at it this way..
Since August (almost 3 months) the Wolves medical team haven't been able to get Raul fit physically or mentally. Forget the last few weeks.
So if he comes back from the Mexico team and Qatar WC fit hopefully physically and mentally the Mexico medic's can be commended for this and have done a wonderful job for the Wolves team and medic's don't you agree? By getting our Wolves hero and No 9 back on track hopefully scoring goals once again. Only time will tell?
His time is up at Wolves. Thanks for the memories Raul. It was special.
Time to move on.
It's not time for Raul to move on any time soon. How long has he got left on his contract at Wolves?His time is up at Wolves. Thanks for the memories Raul. It was special.

We called him back for a fitness assessment.. that’s why he was at Compton training. The only thing said about this was Keen saying he is still injured.We have no available striker. Not one. And against that backdrop I cannot see how 45 mins in friendly on a Wednesday could not translate into a useful 20 mins on Saturday, allowing us to play with a proper, if not fully fit CF. As pointed out already we played Diego Costa.
JL has also criticised him. It’s clear that this is wrong. Whether you begrudge him or not or give him carte blanche because of the injury is a separate point and a subjective view to which of course we are all entitled.
The Emperor’s New Clothes is clearly not a favourite fairy tail amongst mixers.
We did he managed 45 minsI would like to have seen him retire at the end of last season. He was still popular with fans who had seen him have a go at restoring his career, and understood the risk to his health if he carried on playing. Also, it would have made Wolves sign a striker!

Is it not possible Wolves declared him unfit to play for Wolves, but Mexico wanted to see for themselves? Why make this into Raul not wanting to play for Wolves last week.
If in fact it turns out that he didn’t want to play for Wolves, then it’s a different story.
Nobody remember Beckham breaking his metatarsal and sleeping in an oxygen tent to be fit for the WC? I'm sure The Sun had a picture of his bare foot on its front page so we could all pray for it to heal.
It's the absolute pinnacle of a players career, everything they've ever dreamt of.
We'd all be doing exactly the same as Raul if we were in his shoes.
Insistence Wolves ‘misdiagnosed’ player’s injury – Month of treatment was waste of time

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been accused of trying to interfere in Raul Jimenez’s return from injury, and potentially risking his World Cup place.
The striker has been out injured since the end of August, suffering an injury that had put his place in Qatar in major doubt.
He’s been working to get back fit for the past month and a half, even going as far as to return to Mexico to work with their national team’s physios and medical team.
Reports made it clear that was done with Wolves’ blessing, with it claimed they were working alongside their counterparts in the Mexican set up to get the player fit and firing for his country at the World Cup.
Whatever has been done appears to have worked as Jimenez is set to feature in a friendly this evening as a last check to ensure he will be fit for the tournament.
However, it seems in Mexico they are less than impressed by Wolves’ part in the process, with journalist Rubén Rodríguez criticising them today.
“Raúl Jiménez will play against Sweden. Martino will give him at least 45 minutes to now find his best football form, since his last game was in August and now the job is to find his level,” he wrote for Record.
“The Mexican striker has forgotten the issue of groin pain after being misdiagnosed at his club and taken to a treatment that generated absolutely nothing for him in a month.
“So when he entered the Mexican National Team for his rehabilitation in those four weeks the reaction and recovery occurred slowly, but positively.
“The Mexican striker, upon seeing and contemplating the evolution, immediately dedicated himself to obeying the team’s medical team, and in less than planned he is close to the field.
“This motivated the striker to continue with the process and forge the goal of being in the World Cup.
“His evolution was very marked, to the extent of having to get involved in negotiations with his team to give him the green light ahead of time and let him continue with the medical part of the Mexican National Team, and thus be constantly evaluated with his club, all reported in time and form on a daily basis and with a weekly meeting with Wolves to be in constant communication.”
This would sum up our medical if true imo!

‘Misdiagnosed at his club’ stated which doesn’t make good reading.
Wouldnt surprise me. They probably thought ACL injuries were just a sprain.Wolves medical team / staff with all these Wolves forwards long term injury problems could be to blame for Wolves lack of goals this past year or more?
3. Mexico have probably got into his head and recommended that they wouldn’t give him any minutes whilst Wolves are still playing games. The season finishes and he miraculously jumps off the physio table, with little assessment from Wolves, and he’s ready to go.It’s one of two things..
1. We assessed he wasn’t fit and he rejoined Mexico in hopes of being fit for World Cup.
2. We assessed he was fit and he decided he didn’t want to play for Wolves and left for to rejoin Mexico anyway.
Which one is it? Because it feels like you think 2 but don’t want to say it?
Yeah, you’re right. Just trying to demonstrate the desperate levels we’ve plunged to since Sasa picked up his knock.True.... but who also hadn't been injured.
My friend, when the other option is Hwang, I’d take it every day of the week.you didn't see him tonight. you wouldn't want him on the pitch vs arsenal if you did.
I remember a few years back 15000 turned up to see Steve Bull play part of a midweek reserve fixture at Molineux on his way back from injury. Pre social media, so no one to shout JudasJesus wept, the best striker I've seen in a Wolves shirt has started his return to fitness in an arranged friendly fixture, celebrate ffs! 'Christ on a bike' ..., this lad nearly died playing for us, support him in his recovery!
Agreed. The bloke IMO is not the disloyal type. If it's true that he's been misdiagnosed then he's probably lost faith in those particular folk and feels more comfortable getting a 2nd opinion to get him ready for his last WC. It'll all come out in the washI’d need irrefutable evidence to the contrary before I’d ever think Raul is disloyal to Wolves.

It is absolutely awful..and good on Raul he eventually found some people that knew what they were doing.Insistence Wolves ‘misdiagnosed’ player’s injury – Month of treatment was waste of time

This..and if people thinks he would have been able to bang two goals in against Arsenal is way way off the mark.Jesus wept, the best striker I've seen in a Wolves shirt has started his return to fitness in an arranged friendly fixture, celebrate ffs!

That's my point, we wasted the summer and then, out of desperation, signed a striker who was injury proneWe did he managed 45 mins

I’d say that’s the most plausible option based on JL’s comments.
Both of us are talking like either are wildly wrong and living in some sort of delusional world. The reality is that both sides could comfortably be correct. I suspect there’s been gamesmanship on every side here.
JL’s comments suggest that Wolves have lost control of the situation.
The injection is the worry. Players have always had them to get through big games and important stages of seasons and then have either had prolonged rest periods or surgery. If Raul comes back from the WC and has surgery before playing for us then I don’t see how anybody can defend that.Nobody who says that it will only do us good if he plays and plays well, has been able to tell me whether they really think that needing an injection to play is good for his long term recovery?
