Duckens Nazon has scored another "thunderous" pre season goal for the U23's. Surely ready for promotion to the first team squad. Give him a chance from the bench if necessary.

Youve got a very good point Wollabby. If he's 23, highly rated and scoring goals when we need a striker, why hasn't he at least figured in our pre season friendlies when a 16 y. o has? doesn't make much sense to me, but in Nuno we trust!

I really don't rate Afobe, he really needs the ball on a plate to finish, I'm surprised Dickleburgh may be going, Andre Gray for me.

Agreed WWclaregate! Tried and tested. But fiesty, but who cares about that?! Puts the ball in the net. ⚽️👍😉.

Isn't that what was happening at Leicester, the ball being put on a plate but we didn't have anyone to score them.

What was it the crowd used to chant about Afobe? He scores when he wants? How many with Jota, Neves, Cav, Costa, Graham around him?

We should sign both Afobe and Gray. One would win the games the other struggled with, we'd be almighty and famous for it.

WWClaregate - Needs the ball on a plate to finish? Are we talking about the same Benik Afobe? We can't be. Either that or you don't understand football! Just look at his career goals on you tube. If you don't change your mind after watching that then I won't waste my breath explaining why you are so way off the mark with your statement!

Abel Hernandez next please and then that's us done! eat and most exciting transfer window for a very very long time!

Wolves 4 life, I agree, just the job, a goalscorer with Championship experience at a sensible price who would do wonders with the right sort of service. Give Hull Baath in exchange and it should be a slam dunk. Let's make it happen before the weekend.

Wollabby thing is he's available too and at a snippet of the price been quoted for other players we are linked with. 1 more striker of quality and we have a completed puzzle and he fits the bill all ends up!

Leo Bonatini to score 20+ goals this season, remember this post.

Welcome Leo Bonatini!

scores with both feet but mostly left.

I used to work in Saudi. Not much to do other than watch football in spare time. The standard of play there is not great but they pay foreigners well. I reached out to a couple of mates to see if they had any experience of watching Leo. All responses were very positive stating he was one of the league's super stars. However, they also stated he used to drift in and out of games because of what looked like boredom. I guess that won't happen in the championship! First time poster UTW.

About time bonatini checks in on wolves site.

Please. Please. please will people stop banging on about Afobe and living in the past. He effectively forced through his transfer and refused to play until he got his wishes. Selfish player who plays for the money and big ego. If he came back and started doing well had do exactly the same. no loyalty and bad attitude. There's no doubting his ability but not the sort of person you want in the dressing room. The only player who ide take back is Sako but he won't drop down a league. let's move on guys we want fresh blood.

01 Aug 2017 02:04:06
M&M convinced Afobe to stay on the promise they'd spend proper money to replace Sako, then didn't, got a free loan off Morgans mates at Liverpool, then sold PotS Stearman. It was immediately obvious the season wasn't going to end in promotion, Morgan quit and put the club up for sale. M&M betrayed Afobe's trust, abandoned ambition, it's no wonder his morale was broken. I bet most of our new Portuguese players would have been exactly the same.

So your idea of improving our image is to bring back a player who spat his dummy out and showed a complete lack of class, dignity and an unprofessional attitude by forcing a move whilst sulking. Whether or not what you state is true, players get paid more than enough to give 100% and do their job to the best of their ability. Afobe didn't! Many of us go to work with low morale but still do our job otherwise we would be out of one. As for our brand we are founder members of the league, we paved the way for what has ultimately resulted in the champions league and are renowned all over the world by football fans everywhere. How do we improve on being world famous?

South Banker,
I'm not taking sides in the Afobe argument. There are pros and cons, as there are with any signing. I'd correct your last couple of sentences. We used to be world famous. Past tense. Fosun will have a good go at restoring that status.

ULF is Afobe's agent.
