If wolves sell Afobe I would like them to show some ambition and spend the money given. They could sign Nick Blackman who's contract runs out in the summer so could buy him cheap and someone like nakhi wells who has shown he can play in the current 4-2-3-1 formation used.
Thoughts please?



{Ed003's Note - going to derby for £2m apparently.}

Who's this Afobe ed?



{Ed003's Note - Blackman. }

I have expressed before how happy I'd be if we brought in Wells. But ideally, I'd love to see him play as part of a 4-3-3 with Afobe and Dicko/ Graham. I'm afraid Blackman is on his way to Hillsbrough - Sheffied Wednesday have had a bid accepted by Reading. I'd love us to show some ambition and bring in Wells as well as Tom Bradshaw/ Adam Armstrong without selling Afobe. Then again, Kenny hasn't exactly looked for an attacking approach lately.

Same here Wolfie. Everyone's saying we need to sort out our defence. Last 3 matches we have looked more solid at the back but up front there is no creativity so I believe if we do get Williamson in to then focus on upgrading the attack mabye even looking at the loan market again for the time being.

Wolves fans do you honestly think Morgan will spend any money, we might get Williamson that's about it and if they sell Afobe do you think he will give K. J. the money now he wants to sell the club .
The only time this club will improve is when the club is sold until then forget about it and I don't want to be to negative but the last three games although we won let's face it the football has not been great and the Reading and Brighton games how we won those games I will never now .
To play only one striker up front at home will get us no were hope I am proved wrong but can't see it, play that deep at West Ham and we will get Hammered.

Hi All.
Well i'm back after my Christmas break, have been reading all your entries with interest over the break, now here is my opinion for what it is worth, lol!

1. It seems obvious to me that a sale isn't particularly imminent. I really don't believe that Ding Lei was at the Reading game, that surely is just a mith, if he had been there is no way in the world that the press wouldn't have picked up on it. i'm sure that the club have entered periods of 'due diligence' with a few parties, but I reckon we are some way off any news as yet.

2. Kenny Jackett - I was firmly entrenched in the Jackett needs to go tribe. And in fairness, I still am. I have seen all 3 of the games that we have won without conceding a goal, but I have to be honest, the football is woeful, how we have picked up 9 pts I really don't know. we are playing the last 20 minutes of games defending from the edge of our 18yd line and just banking on getting blocks in. Jackett is hell bent on playing with a lone striker, he has been all season, but we haven't for the last 2 seasons that have been successful, so why mend something that isn't broken? I will tell you why, because Jackett is too stubborn to admit that it doesn't suite us. Its like MM all over again, you can even throw in the Edwards/ Ward scenario as well.

3. Benik Afobe - See above! Any Wolves fan with a brain can see that Afobe is not suited to the lone striker role. If i'm honest i'm not totally against selling him, because surely, he must be damned fed up of living off scraps up there on his own, and this, I think is affecting his game. And there are strikers out there that are more willing and suited to playing that role. BUT. I like all other Wolves fans am very worried that all money that could be brought in from Beniks sale will go straight into the back pocket of Morgan. Its a real problem area for me this one, yes I want to keep Afobe, he arguably has the best eye for goal I have seen in a Wolves shirt since Steve Bull. But he is being totally wasted by Jackett in this role. Ideally go back to 4.4.2, but this isn't going to happen under Jackett. So what should we do? I really don't know.

Well just a few things I needed to get off my chest there!

Happy New Year to all Wolves fans out there. let's hope this time next year, we are in a better place.

I totally disagree that Afobe plays as a number 10. His first touch, passing and vision leave a lot to be desired! His best and only role is to play on the shoulder of the last man, alongside a second striker (a Dicko) Afobe is a poor man's Bully! Stick to what he does best and concentrate on finishing chances that OTHERS should be creating for him!

When Afobe and Dicko started this season they switched it around during the game and that worked well not sure why Kenny hasn't done that with Alf or maybe now with Siggy ge can.



05 Jan 2016 21:16:38
Perhaps because neither could wipe Dicko's boots! ALF has been a huge let down; I expected a consistent goalscorer. Meanwhile, Siggy's played 25 minutes of football in 2 years. We won't count our chickens yet but hopefully he will come good.
I do however emphatically agree that Afobe is too isolated and needs some quality support. We don't need to sell him.
