Is Ait Nouri an upgrade to Vinagre? Seeing his loan cut short, and the tag of 20m plus for the young Nouri, would it be an addition or money we could look to spend elsewhere and bring Vinagre back.
1.) 04 Jan 2021 21:50:00
Obvious to anybody who has seen both play.
2.) 04 Jan 2021 22:02:23
Who do you think Jabba?
3.) 04 Jan 2021 22:05:32
Ait has potential and Vinagre flatters to deceive which is presumably why Olympiakos have cut short his loan.
4.) 05 Jan 2021 08:31:56
RAN is massively better than Vinagre - needs a bit of work on his defensive side, especially playing in a back four, but will be a hell of a player.
5.) 05 Jan 2021 09:28:06
Vinagre was always excellent going forward and stronger than RAN. Why bother buying a replacement with the same problems, always out of position when defending. Marcal is better than both and when Jonny is back will probably be an irrelevant discussion.
6.) 05 Jan 2021 10:00:34
Vinagre should play LW. Not unlike Bale in his early years. Rapid but a liability. Not saying he will become as good as Bale. I remember under Redknapp when Bale played at the back Spurs struggled. Pushed him forward and he exploded into life. Wish we could try Vinagre in a front three. Remember when he made Walker look a fool.
7.) 05 Jan 2021 14:09:37
I do find it bizarre how quickly peeps are writing off young talent! Ait Nouri came in with youth caps for France and half the big clubs watching him because he was highly rated! 8 apps later during our most challenging season, (especially defensively) and suddenly peeps want to chuck him on the scrap heap?! Honestly you look at some of the comments on here and you wonder what the actual problem, is it just the clubs approach or is it also fans that lack ANY patience for developing young talent?! As for Vingre well Nuno watched him for three seasons and decided he's not up to the job, incidentally so now have Olyimpiakos so I'm not convinced he's the answer if he's not even effective in the Greek league?! Patience people, the club have realised that we can't afford to buy stars so they are TRYING to make them! I grant you that can be a rough ride but let's not try to write peeps off before they've had much of a chance eh?! At the start of the season the pundits were saying Arsenal needed to get rid of Tierney, those same pundits are now singing his praises 🙄.
8.) 05 Jan 2021 18:22:12
Who is chucking him on the scrap heap? the question is merely asking is an upgrade on what we had already in Vinagre, which is a fair question.
You could say both have pros and cons, as Nuno says it's about find the solution in the squad, which Vinagre still is a Wolves player, and we are to pay another 20m for Ait Nouri and still have Vinagre on books.
Bringing back Curtrone also would not be that bad of an option if the rumours are true.
We don't really need to splash the cash if were smart enough, we have some good players coming back in from Injury, although if we lose one we may gain one in the transfer market maybe.
I'm. not questioning Nuno
In Nuno we trust.
9.) 05 Jan 2021 20:02:53
Fair enough Sydney but if we termenate his loan that's pretty final after just 8 apps, no? I'm not saying he is the answer, I was the first to call out his last performance but that was mostly cause I don't think he's suitable for a back four. The problem is though if the club cancel the contract, he goes else where and shines suddenly £20m looks like a steal and we've missed out, which peeps will also moan about. There's a reason we took a season long loan and there's no way the club will end it early unless there are problems. So is he any better than Vinagre, well let's wait and see. If not we have no obligation so it's win win really. I still think he can come good mind but I also think we need to stop with this back 4 nonsense cause for me it isn't working. Bizarrely (despite being bad at them) most of our goals right now are from set pieces so all a back four seems to do (for me) is result in cheap goals agaisnt us.
On a side note Sydney my comments are never aimed solely at you fella. The last time I wasn't necessarily saying you were scape goating (think that's the first time I'd seen yoh comment on Traore) . Like you said it's just my opinion, I'm the first to admit it might not be the right one. In Nuno we trust indeed ðŸ‘.
10.) 05 Jan 2021 20:45:25
Don't worry i'm very thick skinned and never take offence, sure that's what we come on here for, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I for one respect what you were saying, always good to have a debate.
I hear what you are saying regarding Nouri, he has shown glimpses of a very gifted footballer, and I do hope he turns out for the better for us of course.
Vinagre for me still has something to offer our club, as does Curtrone, he has that raw roughness about him which I think will be ideal right now, we need a scrapper.
Traore right now is so frustrating to watch, because he has the world at his feet if he wants, I feel he has gone backwards, maybe partly to a new system or maybe he misses Doc, they had a good understanding of each other, as did Jota and Raul, that takes time to get again.
I still think we will finish much stronger than the current run, I just want it to happen sooner rather than later, as do we all on here.
11.) 05 Jan 2021 23:10:34
Sadly the deal I thought was we sold Vinagre for slightly more than we were going to pay for RAN. If we can't sell Vinagre or at least for anything like the £20m we have to pay for RAN then not only would we have yet another left sided player with Vinagre's return, but we probably can't afford to pay the £20m. However as Bully says we have an option so let's see how he does over the next few months and then decide what to do. If we don't rate him send him back if we do adjust the squad - sell someone else, (note with Marcal as well and Otto returning we will have LWB's coming out of of our ears), or, although a bit cheeky, simply flip him and take the profit-this might be a bit optimistic!
ps Sydney v good last post.

Well now Mr Shi has addressed the Elephant in the room, has it eased some of the fear and unknown?
I reckon his letter was very balanced and basically told us that they are trying to stay one step ahead instead of going for broke, which I think is smart.
We have a decent squad and Saturdays game will be a good indication of where we are at.
I still think we will see one or 2 additions before season starts.
1.) 03 Aug 2023 21:27:28
I agree Sydney. No beating around the bush from Jef. Telling how it is. It's nice to have it from the " horses mouth, ". It saves idle tongues speculating. Greetings from Somerset
2.) 03 Aug 2023 21:40:22
Saturday will be a good indicator Sydney . Rennes thrashed forest 5-0 on Tuesday so it will be interesting how we play . I thought last night's game was pretty good . We played some nice stuff but, as per last season, we didn't hit the back of the net . Having said that, we missed 3 sitters (sasa, hwang and sarabia) and worked the goalie several times too . I always look forward with optimism and this year is no different . It was great to be back at the mol last night and I can't wait for the season to start and, hopefully, we can be this year's surprise package .
3.) 04 Aug 2023 06:37:57
They also beat West ham 3-1 before that spiderwolf, I don't know what players were put out but it should be a good test for us. I'm looking forward to the game tomorrow.
4.) 04 Aug 2023 09:55:51
They got Mbappe on loan!
5.) 04 Aug 2023 12:52:49
Yes champions league qualifiers so let's see how we fare before getting to panic stricken.
27 Oct 2022 16:22:48
I think the current situation is a bad one, reading all the negativity is hard as a fellow Wolves fan, I for one have lost my positive outlook recently as so many of us have, we have got used to having a fairly decent time as fans over the last few season, which now seems to be coming to the end with all the uncertainty at this moment in time.
I will be flying over for the game this weekend, I will be in full voice for my love of Wolves.
Yes its easy for us all to give u and feel down right now, but let's drop all the negative posts and try and see how we can get out of this mess.
We as fans feel bad, I hope this is the bottom and we can try and move forward.
The news and rumours around our players will be in overdrive coming up to the transfer window as the sharks circle, but let's not panic I feel like the tides are just about to change once more.
1.) 27 Oct 2022 16:56:38
Well said sydneywolf, let's play our part and get behind the team. I am certainly looking for a reaction, and a positive one, 3 points and we'll all be feeling better.
2.) 27 Oct 2022 17:11:41
Is I feel like being positive or negative Sydneywolf? What makes you think that things are about to change? because being negative I can't see it happening as Wolves confidence is rock bottom and they just can't score! I hope your trip will be worthwhile but I feel like it just won't happen.
3.) 27 Oct 2022 19:16:33
Sydneywolf - I have my ticket for the game and whilst there will be fully supportive of anyone and everyone associated with the club. I don't see any upside from bringing down what must already be a pretty low level of morale in the team.
ps
Surely you aren't coming form Sydney?
pps If we match their energy and aggression we should be comfortable as we have far better players but that "if" sadly is a big one as we simply don't have the athletes or particularly the warriors required to do so.
4.) 27 Oct 2022 20:00:39
No Future,the days of travelling from Sydney are over, I'm living in Ireland now.
Melo positive is the only way, I understand all the negative about the place, but what's the point, it won't help us one bit, at Chelsea the otherweek, at the end when.a few of the players came over to applaud, a young lady behind me started shouting abuse, telling players to F@#k off, this is the kind of support we don't need at any games.
It's times for us the get in the trenches and get behind the team, qe need them to perform, shouting and abusing won't help that one bit
01 Sep 2022 08:53:35
I'm usually very positive, but that performance against a very poor team is the final straw for me.
Our form is getting worse.
I'm losing faith in Bruno and his ability to actually get the players to play.
I think not having a natural leader on pitch is hurting us,Neves is not captain material for the Premier league, he not tough enough.
1.) 01 Sep 2022 10:15:54
The fans need to give Bruno until the world cup, with the players we have only just signed and get behind all the players and stop moaning. I hope we can sign an attacking midfielder I believe that will solve a lot of our issues, just my opinion.
2.) 01 Sep 2022 10:41:10
Agree Sydneywolf no natural leader at the club. Cries out for Conor Coady. Notice Everton play back 4 with him. Seems to me they left it so late signing anyone that the last couple of weeks it has been panic buying with not enough thought about what's needed or the quality of signings.
3.) 01 Sep 2022 10:59:44
How long you want to give him? Either on behalf of or with the help of,the Chairman and the Board he / they have systematically destroyed everything that Nuno and his Backroom Staff worked so hard to build, are we any better, are we going to be anywhere near the top six, are we going to Wembley with a decent run in one of the Cup competitions, three No’s from me, are we ever going to win another game, Yes of course, will Bruno Lage be here when it happens, debatable.
24 May 2021 22:25:59
The silence is deafening from the clubs top brass.
1.) 25 May 2021 05:25:25
The silence before the storm Sydney wolf.? The whirlwind of players out players in etc. I reckon that because of brexit euros and cv and hols the whole process could be open to speculation for ages, then slapdash and hurried into the end of close season. I'd like to think fosun have planned this and we'll hear something from them next week. They have to let nuno clear his desk as it were.
2.) 25 May 2021 11:51:03
I think more so in the way that Shi and his counterparts haven't really said too much since the news broke last Friday, I will just have to be patient I suppose, still hasn't really sunk in properly.
3.) 25 May 2021 12:29:39
The club has for the past four years decided not to make any announcements until the deals are done so don’t expect it to change now. Patience folks.
15 May 2021 13:00:17
Is it me, or is all the news regarding Mendes moving players on becoming a bit unnerving.
The way things stand if true would be there going to be a massive clear out of players, have Mendes and Fosun had a falling out?
I know there are plenty of other agents and players not under Mendes, but things don't seem too well, and that is my biggest fear, suppose it was always a gamble letting him have so much say in the transfers.
Definitely going to be a very interesting pre season.
1.) 15 May 2021 15:41:46
Let’s not forget that the players are contracted to the club and not Mendes.
2.) 15 May 2021 22:52:36
It's the same every year. Last year Neves, Neto and Podence were all on the verge of leaving us as well as Jota and Doherty. Mind you, we did bring in Semedo, Ait Nouri and Vitinha from Gestifute and were linked with: Dias, Leao, Rodriguez, Andre Silva, Guedes, Vinicius and Diego Costa who are all represented by Mendes.
27 Sep 2023 16:37:36
Nuno won't be coming back, Shi is the one who needs to be removed, whatever has gone on from end of last season seems to be dragging on, the wheels cannot just fall off, O'Neil seems to have abig job on his hands with a small back room team . It would be great to see him get ahead, I just don't feel it at minute, fitness seems to be a big issue. Rant over, I have kept my opinions to myself As I like to be positive, Hoping for a miracle At the weekend, or it going to be along day all round to watch it
08 Aug 2023 22:48:07
Well said old Wolf, understandable folks are angry, but end of day we need to get behind whoever comes in, I'm sure the players knew that it was possible he would go, judging by Docs interview after the celtic game.
Fosun may just surprise us once again.
It's gona be arough ride for a few weeks, there's along season ahead, but the players qehave if it stays that way are more than capable, the next appointment is crucial, let's hope they have done the groundwork
08 Aug 2023 18:04:08
I think we all need to take a breathe, as far as I know, LOP has not gone yet, this could be the meeting that has been needed to clear the decks.
Yes the timing is not great at all, but until ai hear he's gone, he's still our manager, he's right to want backing, as he knows what the club can be, or he would never have come, saying that if he goes qehave to bw prepared, what we do have is a good team spirit, and that has shown through all of this pre season.
We have a good squad, and maybe 1 or 2 players in will complete that, LOP knows it, he just has to convince the board, that maybe what this while meeting today is about.
The press have done nothing but publish rubbish since the end of last season.
27 Jul 2023 19:34:17
5 million for a 34 year old esy ham squad player is too much.
22 Jul 2023 05:29:16
Ray its more of they won't pay too much for a player who is 33+ rather than cannot afford him
17 Mar 2024 16:12:01
I hear ya Abbey, I think the international break has come at a good time for a few to get over knocks etc, and hopefully a couple of players back, Dawson was a big miss yesterday
17 Mar 2024 13:10:52
Afternoon all, now the dusts settled a bit, yesterday was just a bad day at office, when you can't get the ball.to.stick with the forwards you're always going to be put under a bit of pressure, that said the defence was very poor, the continued runs by Coventry caused us all sort of problems, but the main issue of not picking up and closing down players in and around the penalty area cost us dearly, a win for us would have been harsh on Coventry.
On another day with a full team, it would have been another outcome, I'd say.
Would surprise me. Now that we go and take all 3 points at the Villa in 2 weeks, Bellgarde and Cuhna hopefully back in the side.
29 Jan 2024 19:01:24
I don't think anyone has to answer anything for sitting in home end as an away supporter, as long as you have manners and respect where you are that should be enough, I do.it regularly at some away games, I ha e family that are Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool fans, if we go to Molineux I get them a ticket with me if they can't get one and visa versa, as for going in the Albion end I have done It, I had the manners at behave when we scored. I go to Rugby games and it's always mixed
19 Jan 2024 09:30:55
Agree Telford, I think we have to give these young lads a go, Ings if kept fit would do a job, but his fitness has always been an issue
14 Jan 2024 10:14:21
I was right in the corner beside goals when Hindmarch scored, got bundled over the hording onto pitch with the surge from crowd behind.
