This guy is full of ****.

Not saying it's not true as Guedes is clearly going somewhere, but this fella has done loads with us in the past that's been rubbish.

 

[Madmalc]

You're forgetting the legislation in place that prohibits us from signing CM's though.

Corrected, but it's not legislation, it's a dictim 'you will not play any midfielders other than Neves, Dendoncker and Moutinho..'

This guy is full of ****.

Not saying it's not true as Guedes is clearly going somewhere, but this fella has done loads with us in the past that's been rubbish.

But as I commented above, it’s interesting that Liam Keen does follow him, so he must get some things right.

 

[Madmalc]

I'd almost guarantee he has an agreement in place to go to Barcelona on a free next summer.

I agree, so I expect he won't kick a ball competitively for the whole of this season.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

I agree, so I expect he won't kick a ball competitively for the whole of this season.

On that I disagree. I think we'll still use him. Adama isn't the sort of personality to do that either. Add the World Cup caveat to it all as well.

 

[Madmalc]

I hope we're not blowing all out money on Guedes..IF he's apparently costing 40 million I would rather we get a top striker in like that Ramos from Benfica.

Also if we had this money from the start why are we spending it now? There have been some class players with decent release clauses we could have purchased.. if they wanted to come..

Why would they want to come to us, we have managers who don't know how to make substitutions. Let alone perform squad rotations.

 

[Madmalc]

Penny has dropped for Jeff and Sellars watching us earlier maybe.

Not a chance

Who would you have brought on then?

 

[Madmalc]

It aint us. I have previously said I am a happy clapper and back FOSUN to do the right thing but after our bench lost the game today I have officially switched. Can't believe it has got to this point. Our starting 11 is one of the best outside the top 6 when everyone is fit and available, outside of that, **** only knows.

I hope its just the drink talking and am back to my positive self tomorrow but am feeling so **** about our team right now I am dreading this season

The bench didn't lose the game, the bench weren't even involved with the game..

 

[Madmalc]

I wonder what madmalc thinks about Bruno making substitutions?

He thinks he doesn't make substitutions and therefore he couldn't use two players for every position..

 

[TWOLF]

You mean like a manager who uses substitutes

I mean like a manager that has subs that are good enough to help the players on the pitch not hinder them.

 

[Madmalc]

On that I disagree. I think we'll still use him. Adama isn't the sort of personality to do that either. Add the World Cup caveat to it all as well.

Yes he is one of Bruno's favoured few, but he'll be mysteriously injured most of the time..

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Barcelona having to sell a load more of their revenue generating media business to register players and they still want to sign more.

Maybe try and make up for Trincão/Traore farse by lowballing them on Nico G?

 

[Madmalc]

I mean like a manager that has subs that are good enough to help the players on the pitch not hinder them.

If you never play them who's to say..

 

[Evthewolf]

Surely, surely, they must have a midfielder or 2 lined up……..haven’t they?

When Neves went down early on today, I feared the worst. Where the hell would we have been, if he had been badly injured?

They simply cannot be that blind, can they? Bruno is saying trust them and he would look a complete fool if nothing comes of it so we’ll wait and see. I always try to be optimistic but have to admit, I’ve had to top the glass up a bit, to keep it half full.

 

[Madmalc]

Who would you have brought on then?

I'd have brought Cundle on at half time for Dendoncker, binned RAN who was having a mare and gone to 5 at the back.
With Coady organising the shambles of a defence.
Gawd help us when meet tougher opponents..

 

[TWOLF]

If you never play them who's to say..

Bruno sees them in training every day. He would have seen them last season as well when they were on loan and playing for the U23’s.

Out of interest what subs would you have made today to turn the game around? (On and offs)

 

[Madmalc]

Exactly. Such a chasm between defence and attack.

Need a link!

From today's game need a midfield.

 

[Skrilla]

The bench didn't lose the game, the bench weren't even involved with the game..

They weren’t involved because they aren’t good enough.

 

[ombyman]

Why would they want to come to us, we have managers who don't know how to make substitutions. Let alone perform squad rotations.

Is this post a sarcastic joke?! How can bruno make rotations and subs when he has none?!?!
The only option he has is to go to 5, which brings one of the senior cbs in and allows there to be a senior attacker on the bench.
Our squad is embarrassing

I would have chucked ronan on. Yes he is an spl player at best, apparently, but from what I have seen may have been able to whip a 25 yarder in

 

[Madmalc]

Maybe an idea to have subs that he can use and actually make an impact on a premier league game in midfield and attack unlike that shambles of a bench today.

How do you know it was a shambles he didn't play any of them.until he made a token substitute.

I mean like a manager that has subs that are good enough to help the players on the pitch not hinder them.

If you don't play them you can't judge them

 

[TWOLF]

I do hope cundle and ronan get some decent minutes this season but sadly I think they should only be used in games where we are comfortably ahead.

 

[TWOLF]

I mean you definitely can, and I’m pretty sure that’s the managers job to do so.

Coady and Cundle. ****ing hell.

You mean Donk who was one of the best players on the pitch, you'd have gone to 5 at the back when we dominated most of the second half with 4. Also the defense today wasn't half as bad as some of the defenses Coady marshalled. Thank **** you weren't the manager today. That has 4-1 written all over it.

So let's work it out, you're taking RAN off for Coady, Cundle on for Donk

Sa

Neto
Kilman
Coady
Collins
Jonny

Cundle
Neves

MGW
Podence
Hwang

Neto at left back then? Tactical genius

Today proved they wouldn't get any game time.
Recruit managers who.like small squads and then let them complain the squads too small. Whilst they don't make substitutions..
Sounds like excuses

 

[Madmalc]

They weren’t involved because they aren’t good enough.

You say that we never get to see them.
Here's the pitch:
Wolves are interested in signing you.
Great what will I do?
Well they don't use substitutions much if at all, and you can forget about squad rotation, so you're very unlikely to get to play..
So what do you think..

He has none because he doesn't make any, he's living in his comfort zone of same old and older faces named every match. I expect most of today's bench to be looking for transfers or loans out before the 1st of September, because they won't get any game time at Wolves.

 

[Madmalc]

I mean you definitely can, and I’m pretty sure that’s the managers job to do so.

He's like the boy how cries Wolf.
If he'd used all 5 subs and we'd gone 8 nil down it would have been a wake up call.
But no he'll carry on not making any substitutions until the World Cup starts.
By which time we'll be bottom of the league.
The players will have paced themselves and will have a good World Cup, then they'll all go away in January.

So he should have brought on 5 players who aren't good enough, to lose 8 - 0 so that we'd all know that our bench isn't good enough which we already know.

Genius.

Neto at left back still, yeah?

 

[Jd132]

As Leeds were cutting through us at will in the first half today, I was reminded of our chronic need for a midfield enforcer.

Personally, I think Collins and Kilman will be a great partnership but they could do with a Fabinho/Rodri/Palhinha type in front of them to genuinely protect them and stop those attacks.

Neves is our Gundogan to Rodri, the Thiago to Fabinho, the Xavi to Busquets. He's great but we really need a proper defensive midfielder to both protect the young centre backs whilst at the same time releasing Neves to do his best work further forward.

[BrierleyHillWolves]

Makes me wonder if he’s being brought in, in advance of Neto being sold in a future window. Similar to how Neto was brought in a year or so before Jota was sold. If so, and he settles well, then I’m a bit happier, if I have accept Neto will not always be a Wolves player. If it meant Neto being sold this window, then I’m much less happy.

Podence was brought in as Jota's replacement

I think people forget that Nuno stopped playing Jota at the end

 

[AndyY]

I would have brought on Ronan instead of the injured Hwang and gone 4-3-3.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Hope Guedes rumours are true. Him, Batman and a central midfielder signing this week and being available for the Fulham game will go some way to allaying my anger at how our squad currently is.

You owe me an apology....I kept telling you we would sign guedes , as early as May and June and you kept trying to shout me down, with no chance........

Looks like we’re using the Nunes money on Guedes. I imagine agreeing terms with the player shouldn’t be an issue.

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Holy cow pat, hasn’t he only got 1year left on his contract??

I don’t know how to feel about this!

Watched him a few times for Portugal, been amazing in some, and literally non existent in others.

My guessing is we’ve sold MGW, as it is repeatedly mentioned we need to sell to buy.

He has 2 years left...

 

[Hot Fuss]

Not quite in the Deano or JoLo class but l absolutely agree, at least in my time (which goes back to the late 60s).

Do you seriously refer to Lescott as JoLo??!
