I live in Sheffield. They're unanimous in wanting McAtee over Doyle. But I don't know which player is necessarily better, it might just be that Doyle is more of a holding whereas McAtee is an attacking midfielder and so catches the eye more?
Or the player that Wolves will bring in to actually replace Nunes, eg Diarra or someone similar
A £5m loan option for a player reportedly valued at £15m seems like great business, not even an obligation so we can send him back if he's crap and / or we get relegated and need to cut our cloth accordingly.
Good enough to be in the best team in the world? Maybe not.. good enough for Wolves, probably.
That’s a massive difference between who is good enough for City and who is good enough for wolves
We will develop him into a better player
They do rate him highly just never going to get a chance at Citeh here he will, very creative player from what Iv read up
Nah, citeh’s academy is for generating funds. This is absolutely their model. Foden is the one exception in a long line of players who will be sold to help pay for some of their superstars. Look at how much Citeh just made from the Lavia deal - another kid that apparently a year ago was “never gonna be good enough for Citeh”
That should always be the plan for us. We’re not a club in a position to be buying finished articles.. unless their potential isn’t all that great in the first place.
Exactly that.
Yep. If he does as well for us as Mike did for City, he will be very good value
Curious about whether we’ve been hoodwinked into thinking a ball carrier is necessary. It would be great to have, but I’m not sure there are many in the PL tbh.
Wow, I didn't realise that Mike Doyle and Glynn Pardoe were even married.
And we aint City !
Paternal and Maternal Grandfathers
Theres a good sky article detailing how due to changing systems Pep is looking to be one step ahead of the game.
We got gomes, we got boubs....Who here really thought this squad was missing another young holding player?
Ooh next! Classy.
I’m not entirely sure he’ll use Nunes as anything other than a CM. I also expect he’ll be surprised about how much awareness he lacks on the ball.
Didn’t Glyn Pardoe score the winner in the final against the **** in 73 ?
It was the 1970 Final .City won 2-1
It’s the old catch 22…we are only able to get them if they aren’t good enough for a top six side. If they are good enough they will leave.
Could have said the same about Lavia last season and look how much he is now rated/worth..
We were? Much of Nuno's team were 'finished articles' when they arrived: Patricio, Boly, Saiss, Jonny, Neves, Jota, Jimenez, Traore, Moutinho - that's pretty much a full team. Your comment, which sadly is pretty much true, shows just how far we've declined as a Club. Gone in a few short seasons from Europe to relegation candidates. Sad.
I wouldn’t say Saiss, Boly, Neves, Jota or Traore were finished articles when we signed them.. maybe for the Championship, but they all made the step up.
Why not?
Nit-picking there Wolf? We'd be beside ourselves if we were signing these types of players today? We just can't anymore.
Not on purpose no.. I just don’t think those players arrived with much more pedigree than the signings we’ve been making the last 12 months.. Cunha is a Brasil international.. Gomes has been touted as a future one.. Nunes and Guedes came with far more supposed pedigree than Neves and Jota when they came.
Not exactly nit-picking is it though, you named 9 players and he disagreed with 5 of them (a couple of those are arguable admittedly). Maybe all those people who slag Mendes off at every opportunity should remember why all those players came though.
Fast forward to 2023, grandson Tommy Doyle plays for Wolves in the final against Man City scoring the winner in the 74th minute.
He's on loan so won't be able to play against City
In the away game maybe, reckon he'll still be out with a hamstring for the home matchHe's on loan so won't be able to play against City
Joe Hodge scoring the winner instead?
Spoil sport! We will just have to pay the 5m so he can playHe's on loan so won't be able to play against City
Joe Hodge scoring the winner instead?
