Wolves rumours 2

12 Jan 2021 19:17:06
No adama today. not even on the bench. is he on his way out or is he injured?

12 Jan 2021 19:40:52
Injured. Hamstring strain.

12 Jan 2021 19:42:57
Surely now even the happy clappers know it’s over.
Look at that bench
Chorley licking their lips .

12 Jan 2021 19:44:32
Injured muscle problem, should be ok for Saturday though.

12 Jan 2021 19:47:19
Offer for Adama under review
He pulled out of squad
He’s gone I’m thinking.

12 Jan 2021 20:04:29
Yeh, really realist.

12 Jan 2021 20:10:17
The realist.
Embarrassing. Get real.

12 Jan 2021 21:18:55
Ed I have an opinion and you let me be called an embarresment just saying 😇😇😇.

12 Jan 2021 22:10:05
But it was an embarrassing opinion.

12 Jan 2021 22:23:18
The fact your embarrassment is also just an opinion Realist just saying! 😂 I would normally have sympathy but when ya write things like 'it's over' then it's hard to not assume your on the wind up?! We went through a double relegation and it wasn't over, not sure a loss to Everton is a bigger set back than that?! 🙄.

13 Jan 2021 00:21:59
I did tell you boys, Nuno out is no becoming a regular post on social media. After selling key players Nuno replaced them with Junk and that will only continue and take you further down. Okay, you are definitely safe for this season and at the moment still have a reasonable squad but further departures which will happen will put you with an up hill battle next season. You all enjoyed your couple of seasons in the big league so now enjoy your decline, oh and mind the gap. X

Your new stadium looks a treat by the way, hahaha.

13 Jan 2021 08:13:58
Nuno needs to be backed with funds

Had Wolves not had injuries we still would be weaker this year than previous years. The youth will develop and come through. Just we are in danger of becoming another Southampton where we build a good team and lose our best players to the top 6. A Portuguese feeder club.

This season is a write off. FA cup run would be nice. But that can be cut short with one bad game. Wolves need to get to 40 points and coast. The hierarchy may be sitting back to see if the season is postponed. Not worth spending millions if the Premier league stops again.

If Liverpool had our injuries it would be like missing Firminho (Raul), Salah (Adama), Mane (Podence), Robertson (Jonny) and VVD (Boly) . Neto and Neves are carrying this team. We don’t have the squad to cope with a handful of injuries. That’s been Nunos gamble from day one. Bring on next season with everybody back and hopefully fans in the stadiums!

13 Jan 2021 08:50:31
1877 I agree our small squad of top 6 beating players is decimated perhaps we have been lucky the last two seasons to avoid multiple injuries

RAN, Hoever, Otasowie, Vitinho, Fabio not really the same standard not yet anyway and Marcal and Semedo worry me another injury like Neves or Coady and we're stuffed

Mid table at best and once we get to 40 points I would like to see younger players being given chances especially Corbeanu.

13 Jan 2021 13:57:44
Window - not sure there will be many left by then - if any!

13 Jan 2021 20:39:06
Remember the good times
I’m telling you all the dream is over
FOSUN HAVE HALTED THE RIDE
Call me an embarrassment
Call me whatever
The realist bought you the news. first.
C.V. no fans football in general has lost the X factor
Bigger fish to fry
I may not be every ones cup of tea
But I am the Realist.

15 Jan 2021 10:48:58
It's funny that for someone called The Realist that you've never really shown any REAL understanding of how FFP works! This is why I always fights SQs corner agree with him or not it's still ALWAYS constructive! Where as your just basically Jock from Dad's Army, you pop on every three/ six months and shout 'We' re doomed' sign it off as The Realist and claim to be some sort of prophet?! Weather its right or wrong that's I can tell you now that's why people call you an embarrassment fella 🙄.

16 Jan 2021 14:42:27
Don’t panic

Stupid boy pike

WERE DOOMED.

17 Jan 2021 00:45:40
Touché fella, that's an annoyingly good comeback especially after today's proceedings! Least we can all still laugh eh 👍🤣.

08 Jan 2021 11:27:59
Spiers has said incoming players now not likely.

They had problems sorting a loan and there is a reluctance to spend big money needed to bring someone with Raul coming back.

Big Pat is the man for now.

08 Jan 2021 15:09:43
That says to me that Raul will be back or is scheduled to return this season.

08 Jan 2021 15:44:59
The problem with loans in this window is that if the players any good then the selling club (usually) wants a mandatory purchase included. Something we have (in my opinion) rightly avoided for the most part. I suspect this is part of what the 'problems' are 🤔.

08 Jan 2021 16:48:12
Extremely unlikely I would think, Debbie, but time will tell.

08 Jan 2021 17:25:46
@ Old Wolf - respectfully I doubt Patrick Cutrone is the round peg for a round hole. He's a stopgap at best. Maybe PC complemented by a loan striker.

08 Jan 2021 17:26:55
The recall of MGW and Cutrone is sensible. MGW was a v highly talented 18 year old who simply has not trained on indeed has probably gone backwards. {sadly that is the case with most promising 18 year olds - as I said in another post look at the world cup winning side of 2017 of the 11 only Foden is now playing regular first team football in the Prem and they are all, like MGW, 20 and therefore should be not that far off from moving into their prime years.

However from the snippets I have seen and read about his time at Swansea until he got injured he was doing ok.
We are desperately short of bodies and he will compete with Vitor for minutes when we line up with a more advanced midfield player. {Since it would seem from the paucity of minutes granted to Vitor so far that we are highly unlikely to pay the absurdly high £20m option we negotiated for him at the end of the year MGW may well be viewed as a cheaper and better option for the future? }.
I also didn't think Cutrone was that bad when he was here and certainly far far better than anything Silva has shown.

Worryingly though the few snippets I have heard about his time in Italy ( not many to be honest) are not positive though.
But given the continued impact the virus is having on our finances it may be that after the massive, (and extremely wasteful expenditure), in the summer we simply have no choice under FFP rules but to stick by what we have rather than investing further.

This is a concern as unless Cutrone hits the ground running our season is likely to become ever more depressing and there has to be risk that to re-ignite the project next summer Neto or Podence may have to be sacrificed.
The purchase of Silva is the gift that never stops giving!
I guess if you cut your own foot off you limp for a long time!

09 Jan 2021 11:43:34
I think we have been pretty spoiled by Raul, his number of goals given the level of support he received is amazing and impossible to fully replace.

But, since his injury things have improved in our attack. Four at the back means we get more players forward and in the last few games there have been chances for Fabio (several) Otasowie and Donck which an in-depth alert striker would have buried.

It is possible that if we can build up Cutrone's confidence chances will be created and taken. If Neto Saiss and Traore keep up their efforts then the hope created by Raul could be patched over for the rest of the season.

09 Jan 2021 14:49:07
victory - good post.

09 Jan 2021 21:55:44
Noticed luka Jovic's been left out of the real madrid squad tonight, know we were linked with a loan move, maybe something in it.

09 Jan 2021 22:58:04
Muscle injury allegedly.

10 Jan 2021 21:24:58
Cutrone was fine in Italy. I suspect the Italian team decided they didn't want to pay that much for him.

08 Jan 2021 01:10:44
United fan here but with a close friend who is a Wolves fan with ties to the club.

Hearing Fabrizio Romano is hinting at a move for Diego Costa in January. I've seen him mentioned a lot with you guys but Romano is usually quite good. What are your thoughts?

08 Jan 2021 09:58:01
No major signings at Wolves this window, so it is safe to say Costa isn't coming here.

08 Jan 2021 17:49:17
If it had been the Costa for 3/ 4 years ago would have been a good shout, the Costa from the last 2 seasons isn't even worth discussing.

07 Jan 2021 22:58:04
Braga striker Paulinho is close to joining Wolves on loan with a view to a permanent move in the summer despite Wolves recalling Patrick Cutrone.

Wolves came close to signing Paulinho in summer, with the striker declaring his intentions to play in the Premier League recently.

The Portuguesse international has become disinterested and as a result was dropped by Carlos Carvahal for their league game v Maritimo in an attempt to address the situation and force a move to Molineux.

Expect an announcement by the end of next week.

08 Jan 2021 15:49:41
Haha, Paulinho seems to be our new Talisca! Without fail we are about to sign him on these pages about four times every window! Not saying your wrong, in fact I VERY much hope your right but sadly due to the regularity of this rumour I've come not to believe a word of it these days! 👍.

07 Jan 2021 18:29:49
We need to go back to five at the back as we look shaky with a four and it hinders the wing backs. Posters saying Cutrone wasn't good enough when he was only here for twelve games and someone had seen enough potential to sign him for £16million from Milan at age 21.Cutrone must think himself good enough if he was banging on Nunos door asking to play instead of Raul.

07 Jan 2021 18:49:19
Hope he proves the doubters wrong E. Did not see enough of him myself to form an opinion.

08 Jan 2021 08:31:41
Cutrone did work hard and put himself about. He needed a run in the team. I’m excited to see what he can do. If he gets that first goal early on his confidence will soar!

Still think a cheeky 6-month loan for Origi suits everyone. Need some power up front and Origi can play across to the left or ST. A scorer of important goals which could see Wolves creep up the table.

No further investment and Wolves look like finishing lower mid table. 12-15th sadly.

08 Jan 2021 08:42:16
Agree pal
Lost his way but everyone should get a second chance.
The pizza man might just deliver.

07 Jan 2021 13:07:37
One of the rumour sites reckoning we are in talks with Arsenal for Nketiah. Seemed decent on loan at Leeds, but that was Championship. 5 goals in 20 games, don't think this will be taken forward as we now have two youngsters looking to get playing time.

07 Jan 2021 09:07:04
Cutrone has been recalled from Fiorentina. Looks like no loan strikers coming in (at a guess)

07 Jan 2021 11:37:00
On deadline day we will sign a 17 year old wonderkid from Doncaster for 40 million quid! Other than that we ain't getting anyone in I'm afraid!

06 Jan 2021 21:43:50
Adama wanting away comes as no surprise if it’s true since wolves have returned to the premier league with some success the media have done their best to unsettle certain players Jimenez included for some reason it seems any outstanding players clubs possess should then graduate to Liverpool Man Utd etc traore seems to feel wolves have been a stepping stone prior to the media interest I’m sure he was grateful to wolves for giving him the chance and grateful to Nino for keeping faith with him.

07 Jan 2021 00:13:57
I agree, the media always hit clubs outside of the "big six" with their good players could go to a "big" club.
Its poor reporting looking for cheap headlines.

As far as Traore goes, I am in the i'd like to sell him boat.
I do not rate his reliability for making the right choice on the pitch, if it be pass, cross dribble.
I do not think he has the footballing brain required, if it was a dribbling competition, hands down :) .

Im not about to slate his effort or commitment, I do not believe any footballer actually doesn't try to do their best, just some don't achieve it.
For me Traore unbalances the squad and sorry to say i would like to see a decent return for his sale.

07 Jan 2021 10:16:15
Adama does not do enough in games to warrant his place. a couple of dribbles with hardly any end result can not be acceptable, We need to cash in and bring in players who bring more to the Team, He is constantly being told what to do in games by Nuno and Coady because he does not have a football brain to work it out for himself. If as fans we are demanding more from our young players then Adama needs to bring a lot more to his game than he has in the last 12 months.

07 Jan 2021 14:01:09
Agree fully with you, Baza. Let's take the last game as an example. He won our penalty and set up that last second can't miss (but he did) opportunity. Creating just the two almost certain goals just isn't good enough even though that's two more than anyone else did with the other goal being an unfortunate own goal. Some things are never appreciated until they're gone. The sale of Alan Sunderland still irks.

07 Jan 2021 17:03:38
I agree Old Wulf. The only thing that is making Traore not stand out as before is someone to finish. Jimenez would always be in tune with him and give him a good option to aim at. Also Dendonker would provide this to some extent, but has been injured since Traore has been starting. I for one would be very disappointed if he was sold. It amuses me how people forget so quickly what a player has done for us.

07 Jan 2021 19:50:44
Only one thing I’d say for Traora is his stats don’t tell the whole story, he’s been left out a lot and harshly at times, he’s not had any target for his crosses or hard work and clearly been told to go backwards as a tactic. Also he’s sometimes simply on the pitch for a tactic, for sample of an opponent had a corner most teams they’d throw all their defenders leaving a solitary midfielder but leave Traora at halfway teams have to keep 2-3 players back. This type of work of his I feel does go unnoticed a lot of the time. Is he happy? Doesn’t look like it, but nobody should be in that side right now as we’re not winning and not performing good enough. Without a doubt give Traora a target man and freedom to go down the middle at times, he’s a different animal. With Raul out i'd keep him this season.

07 Jan 2021 19:52:18
At least keep him till the end of the season.
Selling him now would make no sense IMO.
Having said that, an unhappy player can have a negative affect.
Glad I am not the one to make the decision!

06 Jan 2021 15:22:43
Morgan Gibbs White has been recalled from his loan at Swansea.

06 Jan 2021 21:47:49
Worse than what we got otasowie far far better than him.

06 Jan 2021 22:12:46
Should have never left.
Another shocking decision by those who we trust.
Hope he takes his chance, and kicks on.
Will be like a new signing 🤣.

06 Jan 2021 23:49:24
Mate, how does he improve us?

Why shouldn’t he of left?

06 Jan 2021 23:58:54
He was being punished for being a dimwitt.

07 Jan 2021 10:01:14
He's only 20 and he gets so much stick. Some players develop later than others. Hopefully if he's utilised as a number 10 he'll shine.

07 Jan 2021 10:04:05
We must really be in the rubbish to bring him back.

06 Jan 2021 14:34:05
Been told MGW is being recalled.

06 Jan 2021 15:47:42
Yeah Spiers tweeted it.

06 Jan 2021 15:51:47
yeah hopefully we can find roomfor him in the treatment room.

06 Jan 2021 16:08:29
He has been recalled, confirmed by Wolves on social media.

06 Jan 2021 16:18:28
I hope he drops this social media Jesse lingard esqe slap a photo every 5 mins online, Celebrity want to be rubbish and gets down to playing proper football and fulfilling his potential. He needs to step up

Actually needed week in now.

06 Jan 2021 18:18:14
I'd rather have 2 keepers on the bench than MGW.

06 Jan 2021 22:14:16
Rather have 2 keepers in the dug out than people who can’t get the best out of some of the best talent this club has had in decades.
Welcome home MGW.
