Fabrizio Romano saying a deal has been agreed for Fabio Silva to join Rangers on loan. No agreement in place to make it permanent.

Looks definite HTP.
Other reports saying Rangers are paying his wages, paying a small fee, with no obligation to buy.
Hopefully it works for the lad. Not his fault the silly fee and wages agreed by Shi.

Surely there's a no.9 coming in to replace him? I get the impression GON doesn't fancy Sasa much either.

{Ed002's Note - Wolves want to add a striker in January. Mo Amoura, Marcos Acuna and Boulaye Dia are among the options.}

Interesting that they're exploring the Marcos Acuna option, I know RAN is off to the AFCON, but there's Bueno and Toti Gomes that can play at LWB.

Hopefully Fabio will get some experience in a sort of tier 1.5 league as well as a little European football in the ko stages of the Europa league.

Last chance saloon Fabio hope he comes back full of confidence and a success if he cannot score in Glasgow he never will

I really hope he finds some form and confidence at Rangers and he comes back a better player.

Firstly no blame should be attached to Silva, not his fault Shi has wasted £35million in fees and £4million each year on wages.
One of the main reasons why Shi created the FFP situation for the Club.
This loan is important for the lad, potentially help his confidence, as he should score a few at that level.
Also important for Wolves, if he does start scoring, hopefully we may get some money back on a reasonable transfer fee.
Intriguing, as strong speculation that Kalajdzic is also being moved on.
Suggests there are firm plans for replacements.

I’ve said before, on here, and at games, Silva simply isn’t good enough. He will never make the grade as a premier number 9. I’ve actually concentrated on him when he’s played. His positioning in the box, for corners, his runs and movement, simply not up to par. I also watched some of his games out on loan, the first time he came up against decent defence, which happened to be West Ham in Europe, he was back to square one. No disrespect to Scottish football, but yes he will probably score up there. Hopefully he does and it ups his value, because even if he scores up there, he will still struggle back down here. We really do need to off load the lad.

Not so sure he'll score in Scotland either. Refs allow a more physical game up there and Silva unfortunately looks a Sunday league player. Shame for him as he comes across as a really nice guy, but ruined by silly money amd huge expectations that can not be fulfilled.

I just don't understand why everyone always has a go at Jeff Shi and blame him for the signings that haven't worked our for us. I don't think he scouted Fabio Silva personally. That would have been the job of the scouting team that Nuno put in place. They would have had to convince Shi that Silva was a worthwhile signing. All Jeff does is sign the cheques based on what the scouting team tell him is and isn't worthwhile.

Let’s reserve judgement until after Rangers loan. Silva has always shown glimpses of potential. Brave decision to go to Rangers. Tough environment and massively under the microscope. If he comes through that he will have credit in the bank and can return to us or move on with a good transfer fee.
Rangers moveisa wi, win for us, Saar as I can see.

Jas, sorry, Shi was responsible for agreeing the the ridiculous fee and the eye-watering wages for an 18-year old,
You don't need to understand any thing about football to realise it was an unrealistic financial risk.
100% his mistake.

In that case Rugeley, Jeff Shi should be heralded as a genius. After all, he paid the high fees and wages for Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota, Moutinho, Jimenez and Cunha. Or does the recruitment team take the credit.

Smart move to send him on loan again. If he can get a few goals he'll be a far more saleable asset than he is right now

Jas, Neves, Jota, Moutinho and Jimenez all brought to the Club by Mendes at the time Dalrymple was still CEO.
Cunha was a Lopetequi and Hobbs signing.
When Shi kicked Dalrymple out and took direct control we had 6/7 bad transfer windows.
It is only the last 2 when we have stopped the freefall and money wasting.
Credit goes to Hobbs, Lopetequi and O'Neil for a steadying of the ship.

Rugeley, Jeff Shi is the CEO and gas been ever since Fosun took over. You can't pick and choose who and when he gets the blame. The fact is the scouting team identify the players not the CEO.

Was Darylmple that good for us in comparison. Isn't he responsible for Cutrone, Miranda, Afobe (2nd time), Oniangue, Mir, Stevenson, Yang Yang, Marshall, Vinagre, Campana, Dadashov, Vallejo and Jordao.

Wasn't he also defrauding the club hence why he was placed on gardening leave.

New information on Dalrymple for me.
Seems to be doing OK at Harlequins.

Totally disagree Rugeley. Fabio has great instincts in terms of run and positioning. Where he has gotten grief is in taking advantage of said positioning.

Has any player gotten as open as he continuously does. He’s an A+ in terms of movement and instincts (strength has hurt him though). The finishing will hopefully catch up.

I accept we have different opinions.
Whatever, he can't be blamed for the situation.
Wishing him, you and all associated with Wolves All Good Things in 2024.

Agree Jas about Shi always seen it how I see it is.
Pointless posting what I see/think as always falls on deaf ears regarding Shi and fosun.
We winning of late, Neto back GON to sign his own players in January.

Silva good luck at Rangers.
Needs a run in the team to get his wish of playing and contributing to his team.

HNY.
