What ever happened with the Chilean starlet Orsario?
from what i gather wolves/ac milan proposals were rejected and palace were interested.What ever happened with the Chilean starlet Orsario?
Think his form dropped off the face of the earth as wellfrom what i gather wolves/ac milan proposals were rejected and palace were interested.
But i believe that may have hinged on olise
I'm not surprised he was tired; he worked his taters off all game.Was quality but looks tired towards the end
Toti starting isn't a problem. Having no reserve after that is.
Not for me.But for me he shows great potential.
I actually think Hodge will become a top player, but will definitely benefit from a good season in the championshipHodge is nowhere near anything else but 5th choice. He works hard, gets stuck in but his passing isnt great.

There are certain positions that are almost basic for any Premier League football club, that we dont have .
Do many teams actually have a central goal scorer? I can only think of Man City, Newcastle and Villa. The rest seem to get goals from their wide forwardsThere are certain positions that are almost basic for any Premier League football club, that we dont have .
A recognised central goal scorer and cover for central defence. Its almost sporting negligence to leave these positions unfilled.
Possibly but do we have space in the squad?Maybe bring chiquinho and mosquera back in january if we don't bring anyone in.
ManUre just signed an outright target man.Do many teams actually have a central goal scorer? I can only think of Man City, Newcastle and Villa. The rest seem to get goals from their wide forwards
What a surprise, young player not able to sustain top level performances....Think his form dropped off the face of the earth as well
Yes, Morticia?Gomes
this is wild speculation. our fans have real short memories of Fosuns spending on us.
The poster didn't say target man, they said outright Central goal scorer. Think Uniteds new man got 7 last season?ManUre just signed an outright target man.
Does this mean that Che is coming and maybe Lurch with himYes, Morticia?
Traore might be the ace in the sleeve, but we need to be charging clubs silly money for players we want to keep. Brighton do....I really like Lemina but if we got a big offer (£35m plus), I’d absolutely consider it given his age and the fact I think Traore can prove a more than adequate replacement.
The three of Traore, Gomes and Nunes looked great against Luton.

Re silly money - isn’t that what we tried to do with Traore and Raul and did with Jota. Can backfire (if don’t sell or if so) and people in the future will choose the narrative to suit.Traore might be the ace in the sleeve, but we need to be charging clubs silly money for players we want to keep.

I get that but breaking FFP rules not going to help us eitherTotally agree mate - but gratitude isn’t going to keep us out of relegation danger if injuries kick in. We’re officially skating on thin ice
The precedents for the market for midfielders have been set. 3 CMs have moved for over £100m in the last year, 2 of them defensive.Re silly money - isn’t that what we tried to do with Traore and Raul and did with Jota.

Answer is the same - every Wolves player has a price, as does every player in every club. What fans cannot agree is what that price is and what we don’t know is whether we’ll have the opp’y to reinvest some or all of money. If we do reinvest then prices go up (see West Ham post Rice).
Would love to see more of Traore and sure he’ll get a decent outing tomorrow.
I think the one exception to this is the deep lying CF who holds the ball up and plays in the wingers eg Giroud 2018 France. That can work really well too if you have great inside forwards.Yes .
Someone in attack who scores goals from the middle of the park has been a basic fundamental since the dawn of football.
And not having one has lead us to be the lowest goal scorers over a three year period. Averaging one goal a game over three years.
The difference being that we're desperate for cash.Traore might be the ace in the sleeve, but we need to be charging clubs silly money for players we want to keep. Brighton do....
We're not desperate for cash or Max Killman wouldn't be here.The difference being that we're desperate for cash.
Are we? Why didn't we accept £35m for Kilman then? We've been stripping out the excess weight in the squad. Of the players that have left, Neves is the only real loss. But we almost got £50m for a player with 12 months left on his contract.The difference being that we're desperate for cash.
I agree re Kilman as he appears to be integral to plans this season but I think they would take lower offers for the fringe players i.e. johnny, podence & guedes to bring a few quid in.Are we?

If we can turn down £35m for a player we spent £0.5m on 5 years ago, we can turn down that much for a player who has also been touted as another group leader along with Max.

We're desperate for cash IF we want to buy players. And to be honest, I don't think we really care all that much if we buy many players.
Yes it was, and in Rauls case he had his career stripped from him by an injury arguably worse than David Busst. If that hadn't happened... and he kept on scoring we'd have had big offers.Re silly money - isn’t that what we tried to do with Traore and Raul and did with Jota.

Hopefully he's another one who is considered important to the clubI agree, but Lemina isn't fringe

He's been mentioned as a senior leader multiple times. He's importantHopefully he's another one who is considered important to the club
If we were desperate though we'd have taken the cash. We didn't, so we aren't. Not saying things are rosey, we just don't need to be giving core squad members awayI think they offered 30 million, we wanted 35 and neither club would budge. I dont think there is a player at the moment we wouldnt sell for a half decent price sadly.

We definitely shouldn't be underpricing anyone we want to keepWe still arent going to underprice our players. If they came in with the extra 5 million we would have sold him.
So he did what so many do in job interviews as the candidate, gives an answer he knows the interviewer wants to hear even if he will do different when he starts….. what a legend!!! He has done “a Jeff shi” as he has “moved the goalposts” on his squad depth views in only a few days hahaha lolI thought O'Neill was a "Yes man". Seems not, which is good...
Has anybody actually said the squad is fine? As far as I can tell it's universally agreed we need at least another CBSo he did what so many do in job interviews as the candidate, gives an answer he knows the interviewer wants to hear even if he will do different when he starts….. what a legend!!!

After we were told it was the fact he was happy to deal with the squad “as is” via ITK’s is a major reason he got the job.
Hahaha
Well done GON gaining more and more respect in the fan base and Those I talk to about the team at work and whattsapp every time you have spoken to the press and how you prepped the lads in the limited amount of time for man Utd.
It took one calendar week to say the squad is “a tad light” so for all of you on here saying the squad depth is fine, that is JL and now GON saying that it isn’t fine…… I think you need to accept that it clearly isn’t fine/ok.
Well done GON, well done!!!!!
