Bid of £20m from Saudi for Sa has come in?
Anyone heard or know anymore, or just rumour?

RolloWolf

1.) 12 Aug 2024 07:48:35
I hadn’t heard about the bid but I have heard Rui Patricio is a free agent and we’ve considered it. Seems to fit into place


2.) 12 Aug 2024 11:38:14
Can't find any more on it.
Probably why this might be only fit for the rumour page ?
But also heard it's Sam Johnson they are looking at to replace.
Time will tell I suppose.as always


3.) 12 Aug 2024 20:49:32
I think lack of transfer activity has drastically weakened our squad and with tha outgoings the Sky pundit today tipped Wolves for Relegation.We could well be in a Relegation dog fight.


4.) 12 Aug 2024 22:20:04
How is the squad weaker? OK, I'll give you the defence is not as experienced as last season with the sale of Kilman. Neto is a big loss but he only played until November and although Gomes cannot be deemed to be at the same level as Neto, we aren't any weaker in the attacking areas as we've got a like for like replacement for Neto plus a striker in Strand Larsen. Add to this the fact that it looks increasingly likely that Guedes will be staying, we actually look stronger than last season. At least one experienced defender will come in by the end of the transfer window.


5.) 13 Aug 2024 13:42:23
Sorry Wandering but let's all be realistic about the situation. We've sold our club captain who played in every single Prem game last season and not (as yet) replaced him with a player that has ANY REAL Prem experience! Then this week we have sold our ONLY genuinely top class winger left in the squad. A player who played a direct role in 11 of our 50 Prem goals last season despite being injured half the time. And to REALLY add insult to injury it's becoming increasingly obvious that he wasn't driving the move the club were?!
So to be frank we aren't just weaker than this time last season we are a LOT weaker! It's all well and good Dave Edwards telling us how great the money we've made is but we've sold the two biggest names in our squad and have yet again replaced them with relative unknown quantities! If Guedes is that good we should have sold him and kept Neto. Problem is Guedes isn't that good which is why we can't shift him!
I do admire your positivity Wandering so not having a go; but this bizarre spin the clubs putting on things is baffling! We've sold two players that played a HUGE hand in the points we won last season but it's OK cause we have lots of money in the bank that we almost certainly can't spend anyway?! It's just that kind of progress that has had Fosun over see our transition from knocking on the door of the Champs League places to kicking down the door to the Championship spaces!
Sorry gents but if this is what progress looks like then Jeff is watching a different league/sqaud to me! ?


6.) 13 Aug 2024 16:08:19
We all knew that Neto was going. Why else were we monitoring Rodrigo Gomes since January. I don't think we're weaker. We all complained that when Neto, Hwang and Cunha were injured the back up wasn't good enough. Well this season, it looks like rather than Fraser, Chiwome and Chirewa stepping in, well have Hwang, Cunha, Gomes, Strand Larsen, Guedes, Sarabia and Bellegarde as attacking options.


7.) 13 Aug 2024 17:15:38
Thing is Wandering that what you've done there is listed 7 first team players as an example of our extra depth depite the fact that 5 of those players were on the books last year, how does that equate to extra depth exactly?! So when you swap out Neto for Gomes in REAL terms Larsen is the ONLY addition. And by the way that's also making the MASSIVE assumption that Gomes is as good as the best attacking player that's played for us since we came back to the Prem (Neto) no pressure there then!
And all this talk about Guedes staying is also currently entirely premature! And by the way even if he does he was less than useless first time round so I'm not sure why everyone suddenly thinks he's miraculously up to the cut in the Prem?
You've also skated over our losing the club captain and most used defender, who we have yet to replace?! I was fine when Kilman left because I foolishly thought Jeff might invest half of it on a decent cb, so far that doesn't look to be the case. And an 18 year old coming in to play in the u21s for less than £5m is not a replacement for Kilman.
Again just don't see how anyone can genuinely tell me this squads better than last years?! We better hope it is because the three that went down last year where woeful champ teams, we won't be as lucky this time round I'm afraid!


8.) 13 Aug 2024 17:49:22
Last season Hwang, Cunha, Neto were all injured at the same time. Bellegarde was also out and Guedes was out on loan. So at one point last season we had Sarabia as our only fit attacker.


9.) 13 Aug 2024 18:32:47
But again Wandering other than Larsen how has ANY of that actually changed exactly?! Hwang is always injured every other game, Guedes could still go back out on loan or be sold. Essentially what you've said there is that last year we struggled with injuries then just listed a load of the SAME players who were/are here now but yet could just as easily get injured again this season (please see Cunha currently)?! Larsen really is all we've added, other than that we are a cb down?!


10.) 13 Aug 2024 18:51:26
So what you're saying is that selling 1 attacking player but bringing in 2 and retaining a full international makes us worse off?


11.) 13 Aug 2024 19:26:27
So what are you saying, that clubs who sell there best two players and replace them with players who have never played in the Prem before are stronger than the season before?! Behave! Guedes is bang average, Larsen unproven, Gomes unproven. Compared to Kilman, played every league game of the season and our club captain. Neto the catalyst for over a fifth of all our goals last season also gone. You have a very odd version of stronger! I bet City can't wait to shift De Bruyne and Haaland, cause in your version that makes them stronger?! OK then


12.) 13 Aug 2024 19:42:25
Love it Bully's. Spot on as usual.


13.) 13 Aug 2024 20:02:59
Kilman was not our best defender last season. Dawson was our best Central Defender who made Kilman look better than he was.

Strange analogy of Man City with Haaland and De Bruyne because I'm sure they didn't start their careers there and they replaced established players Yaya Toure and Gabriel Jesus. In both cases, they proved to be better than their predecessors. Keegan/Dalglish. Another example is Raheem Sterling being replaced by Mo Salah. Teams evolve. Players move on. Even Neto replaced one of our favourites in Adama.


14.) 13 Aug 2024 21:18:21
I agree Dawson was better than Kilman technically. Sadly he's also MUCH slower and 7 years older than Kilman which is also why last season all he managed was 25 league games whereas Kilman played everyone of the 38 league games! So who else is making up that back line now then? Are you HONESTLY telling me you trust S.Bueno and Mosquera to play half the season together next season, big ask that!
My point on City is that good clubs don't regularly sell their best players. Which is precisely why City sold Álvarez and kept Haaland, not rocket science is it.
I understand that teams evolve but as yet we haven't seen a single one of these new players so much as kick a ball in the Prem but you have somehow already decreed that they are going to be better than two players that have fetched some of the highest fees this club has seen why/what are you basing that on then?!
You seem to be disgressing from your original point which was that you've said we are now stronger and you can't possibly know that! No one can to be honest, all we do know right now is that two of our most prominent players from last season have left and at time of writing niether of them has been replaced with a player of proven Prem quality. So I ask YET again, how exactly can you (or anyone) say we are stronger right with any real confidence beyond a dose of bravado based on friendly matches?!


15.) 13 Aug 2024 22:20:14
My tuppence
In goal and mid we are unchanged so neither weaker or stronger.
Up front we have added 4 bodies, the two new boys and 2 returning from loan and only lost one, Neto.
Consequently we certainly have solved the depth issue that caused us such problems at stages last season. This is regardless of what you think about Guedes and Podence's attitude and their, plus sadly Larsen's, ability - he looks miles off the pace at the moment. Clearly they are all far better than the kids we had to play last season.
But in the first eleven we are replacing Neto with Gomes R. Surely no one expects Gomes R to be one of the best players in the league on day 1 off his career?
So does the additional depth, the optionaility of Larsen - we had no one who can play the target man role he can - and Neto's potential future injury record balance the loss of his brilliance when he plays?
In my mind it is very clear that it doesn't.
Last year when he played we tended to win and when he didn't we didn't.
Yes others were also absent particularly Dawson during our bad run but it was fairly obvious that Neto was the key component of our demise.
Dawson brings us to defence where we have lost 2 players and added 2 but have we also lost Dawson? His age, injuries and abscence from pre season sends a scary message that we might have?
We have bought a 3rd choice RB but lost our 2nd choice LB and in Yerson gained a new totally unproven CB but have lost our captain and first choice CB plus possibly our best defender in Dawson. (Note Dawson clearly can't play in a 2 any more but nor can Toti yet all pre season we have played him and Yerson as a 2).
We now have serious depth issues at CB and LB and are clearly markedly weaker (scarily so!) in defence especially if we are going to try and play 4 at the back!
So sadly for me we are club that came 14th largely on Neto and Daswon's back but quite possibly now have neither and have a much weaker first 11 and at best a squad that is not a great deal deeper.
Wandering that in my view is why Kally and BB think we are weaker.


16.) 14 Aug 2024 02:05:27
For me, the issue of whether we are weaker or stronger than last year turns on whether we recruit a top class CB. The defence currently looks a real worry with inadequate experience and injury cover. It’s too early to panic but I’m starting to get a little scared.


17.) 14 Aug 2024 06:04:31
Without Neto, yes we look weaker but he's gone now. The team moves on. I personally think Cunha is our most important player and our squad is stronger than last season, some don't. Let's just look forward to the new season.


 

 

04 Mar 2024 08:58:40
I read and hear (though we all know not to trust rumours) that Arsenal have bid amongst a few Prem Clubs for our Welsh international Academy player Brayden Clarke.
And after 7 years with us he seems to be going and happy to do so.
I just wonder if he's such a promising talent why we would let him go?
No idea if true or the fees, but presumably we have a good deal of control of the situation and surely if he's such a prospect we should be keeping him and making every effort to do so
Thoughts or info anybody?

RolloWolf

1.) 04 Mar 2024 09:40:46
There could be any number of reasons why he wants to go. Arsenal are a bigger club than us and maybe he has been promised game time, or he wants to live nearer the Capital.

Look at Cole Palmer. Could have been a squad player at Man City and guarantee trophies or move to Chelsea and start every game and develop even further.


2.) 04 Mar 2024 13:09:19
Yes Jas, but we are talking Wolves here, not Man C, if he's good enough for our 1st team squad ( who knows), doesn't mean he's automatically good enough for Arsenal 1st team squad and game time does it.
.and why aren't wolves fighting tooth and nail to keep him if he's that good, and ours already.
( Though personally I have to admit I'd never heard of him before this)


3.) 04 Mar 2024 14:56:20
Apparently, there is no compensation involved. He can move as a free agent.


4.) 04 Mar 2024 15:13:54
How do you know that they aint?
Maybe he doesn't fit Gary O'Neil's plans, maybe Arsenal plan to loan him out for a few years like they did Nketiah. We just don't know.

Remember that over the last 3 years we have lost youngsters to Liverpool and Man City but not heard from them since.

If he wants to go then let him because why should we hold onto a player who doesn't want to be here.

Having just read Shi's statement. What planet is the man on! We've suffered because he's not been hands on enough and needs to be at the Training Ground every day! What! And the Stove Bull stand is old but only needs a few tweaks like Fulhams me Riverside Stand! Has it seen it! The man needs certifying ?

RolloWolf

1.) 02 Jul 2025 01:04:43
Yeah I have to admit it is a somewhat bizarre statement! On the one hand he openly admits that he's not that interested in football, prefering games and movies explaining his interest in eSports which is absolutely fine/fair enough. But to then go on and suggest that the reason we've been poor is because this (self proclaimed) footy novice hasn't been at the training ground is so entirely laughable that it's almost disingenuous! Also it doesn't paint your staff in a great light or for that matter how they see you! Any even half decent manager will tell you that if you need to be in a room with your staff to have their respect then I'm afraid the truth is that they simply don't respect you in the first instance!
It's infuriating but to be honest I almost feel sorry for the guy, it's pretty clear he doesn't want to be at the club and I'm afraid that doesn't say a lot for Fosuns interests if a want away chairman is the best they are willing (or capable) of giving us! Oh dear Jeff, I know you mean well but these interviews only seem to ever make things worse! ??


2.) 02 Jul 2025 07:27:57
"Jeff Shi podcast appearance is a horror show" - Molineux News view.
I struggle to understand Fosun's approach.


3.) 02 Jul 2025 08:20:31
Once again Shi kills all the hope and enthusiasm for the fans, all the fans want is a team that gives there all and can compete in the prem, I have been through some tough times with Wolves and it sounds like it is not going to end.


4.) 02 Jul 2025 08:35:35
How does VP feel reading all that. It totally lacks any vision for the future, and suggests that where Fosun can spend money, such as improve the ground to create revenue there is nothing on offer. Their original plan when buying Wolves is off the table, and Fosun seem content to tread water with a fear of spending more money. I still feel they are in sell mode, but buyers are scarce. I think they made a naive purchase.


5.) 02 Jul 2025 09:20:49
Fosun need to make a clear statement about selling the club-it is pathetic the rapid way we are moving backwards.
VP may well walk and if he does, this club will be a poison chalice in terms of appointing prospective head coaches. We sit and dawdle as other clubs escalate their ambition and strategies


6.) 02 Jul 2025 10:10:24
It was bizarre and at times contradictory. I get you have to spend money wisely and not waste it. I agree the Steve Bull stand is old and not fit for purpose, but the only sensible way to optimise that stand is to bulldoze it and start again, unless we're building a new ground which isn't on the table at the moment.

The club needs other revenue streams to stay competitive in the long term, so even as a business not investing could cost them when they do come to sell. The venue has to be used for more non-football events as well as increasing value of match day experiences and finding ways to push the brand globally and find opportunities in the local community to generate revenue. None of that seems to be happening or working.

If at any point the club is relegated any additional ways to generate revenue will become more relevant to even slightly plug the massive hole left in TV revenue.


7.) 02 Jul 2025 10:33:39
Jeff Shi interviews should never be aired. It’s as though he has a silent ‘t’ in his name!


8.) 02 Jul 2025 13:49:21
You could see that he's trying to admit his faults and that he's made mistakes but he isn't very articulate. It made him look very incompetent.


 

 

23 Jun 2025 10:03:51
Stadium expansion, costs and revenue. To start a chat. Let's take it we all love our club. We chat a lot here about staying and growing in Prem. And about the pros and cons of Fosun and Shi. And about the cycle of buying a lot of young, mainly unknown and comparatively not expensive players.
I think we most agree we need more and different channels of income that the limited we have currently. Certainly the club and Shi needs to generate more other channel revenue than they do poorly currently.
But think about ground capacity equation. How much will it cost to raise capacity by 10000? A great deal, especially on our beloved current site. How much revenue from tickets will that bring in? 10000 sears at what? say upper average of £700 year.equals £7m.not a lot is it? (Yes, I know and a few pies, coffees and pints). Doesn't buy you many good players. i'd be very interested in your comments

RolloWolf

1.) 23 Jun 2025 10:53:03
From a business point of view, increasing capacity by 1k or so makes little sense as you point out.

I'm a long time fan, in the early 70s I used to wait outside the Mol in the school holidays waiting for the players to turn up to ask for their autographs. On that basis, I still feel it difficult to understand the argument against moving the club out of town to get a large modern stadium. I understand the history and memories but I feel that until we move to a larger stadium we will never be a regular player in Europe.
Get the infrastructure right, rail and roads, parking etc, maybe even get Wolverhampton speedway a home too. The council would be more than willing to facilitate the move (see B-Ham City).

If anyone believes that staying at the Mol is the right way to go I'd be really interested to hear why as I honestly can't see it myself. We need to move on and create new memories


2.) 23 Jun 2025 10:58:16
Taken from the internet which may explain some of the issues the club face in trying to redevelop the ground:

In 1986, Wolverhampton City Council purchased the stadium and surrounding land. This was part of a partnership including a private developer and Asda, with the agreement to build an Asda superstore on adjacent land.

Wolves were granted a lease on the stadium and surrounding land by the council, originally for 125 years, and later extended to 999 years. This long lease ensures the stadium remains in place and allows for future development.

Wolves have long-term plans to expand the stadium, potentially to a 40, 000 capacity, and are in discussions with the council about potential redevelopment and land acquisition.


3.) 23 Jun 2025 11:03:06
All good points. I think with a ground expansion though the bigger picture than just matchday tickets sold has to be looked at. Can we have bigger / better corporate packages? Can merchandising be expanded? Can the stadium be adapted for other uses such as concerts or other sporting events? Can the concourses in the stadium be used for other things such as exhibitions and corporate events? Could the museum be expanded and value added to stadium tours to bring in more revenue? Is a fan park an option somewhere else in the city for when games do sell out, or people want to watch a game and not be in the ground?

The main issue we'd have at the moment with whoever owns the club is the playing side can only be invested in within the rules of PSR. The only way to get around that is to make larger profits and the investment to enable that can be made by an owner if they have the appetite to and the competence to make it a success.

All of that though isn't a quick few weeks between seasons, it takes a long term plan over 10+ years and the concern is when you see what other clubs are doing then we could get left behind and end up competing back where we were as a club 25/30 years ago.


4.) 23 Jun 2025 11:01:02
Rollo you're also failing to take into account the closure of a stand needed to rebuild, all of this has been discussed on here before and a spreadsheet would be needed to calculate the estimated costs and benefits, no easy solutions I'm afraid. That said I think we've hosted Jon bon Jovi and Rod Stewart in the last 25 years, so maybe more use as a concert venue is an option.


5.) 23 Jun 2025 11:29:56
That's my point Arddunby. Such expansion, even by 10000 as someone suggested actually give very little extra revenue, even bearing mind disruption, planning etc


6.) 23 Jun 2025 11:31:36
Tim, why will we never be a regular in Europe without a bigger stadium?


7.) 23 Jun 2025 12:09:13
Excellent thread Rollo - Acle great post!
And agree that increasing the stadium capacity - assuming you could even sell the extra tickets - is not an obvious or easy route to go down.
Far easier to increase revenue from non physical assets IP -not e sports, fashion brands or music none of which seem to have made much progress from Wolves perspective.
Many clubs have beer sponsors, tyre sponsors, airline sponsors, soft drink sponsors etc etc etc.
Wolves need to generate far more revenue from things like advertising, merchandising and sponsorship etc although also using the stadium far more for things like pop concerts, corporate events, weddings etc etc - if the council will allow - is obviously also a nice additional revenue stream as Acle and Arddunby point out.
Sadly however it is a bit chicken and egg to really grow revenues you have to have a brand - a winning brand- and that requires investment or at least not disinvestment, (is that a word), in the team.
Hence until Jeff and Fosun realise that the strategy of selling your best players each year to cover operating losses and buying cheap players hoping to develop them so that you can repeat the exercise a few years later is fatally flawed we will continue to struggle.
ps it is flawed we may have found some great players but not enough as we have dropped from 7th to 16th.
pps no team has ever done it long term and so it is arrogant to the point of stupid to think we can!
Obviously however you have to cover operating losses if you make them. But here is an idea, how about running the club better, so that like Brentford, Brighton, CP and Bournemouth to name just 4, we don't make such massive losses!
It will be far easier to get sponsors etc if you are in the upper reaches of the Prem than if you are in the lower reaches of the Prem or heaven forbid Championship


8.) 23 Jun 2025 12:15:13
All excellent points regarding potential ground development and expansion. I would love to see some investment to improve and increase the capacity of the Mol. In an ideal world would prefer it in the same place, quite like the history to remain and stay put, however all other clubs seem to move. Guess it depends if they intend to develop only sections and money available, would be good for the club to update us.


9.) 23 Jun 2025 13:13:10
Rollowolf, I believe we would struggle to regularly get into Europe while staying at Molineux. The main reason is PSR.

We are restricted by the capacity of the ground and can't just pay to keep our best players. I don't think the present business plan is one that Fosun envisaged when they bought the club. No matter how wealthy or how happy they are to splash cash, they can't.

As a result we will regularly finish below 6 or 8 teams with a much bigger turnover than ours. From time to time we may qualify for Europe, but can't see us keeping ahead on a regular basis of teams with far greater budgets.

Yes, we can cut costs, get sponsors, have gigs at the Mol etc, but despite how poor Man U were, they were still able to buy arguably our best player, we are way off the top teams in the prem in terms of sustainability.

No-one has said why we should stay at the Mol. Does this mean that die hard fans now would be happy to relocate?


10.) 23 Jun 2025 13:17:02
All ifs buts and maybe, s unless someone has heard that Fosun plan on developing the stadium


11.) 23 Jun 2025 16:03:18
As for the argument that increasing capacity by 10, 000 would not bring all that much financial return, it may depend on who the extra seats are marketed to. My local club Chelsea had plans for a new stadium, but the extra capacity would mainly be for higher priced hospitality seats. Chelsea wanted to increase hospitality numbers from 5, 000 to 15, 000. Whether that strategy would work at Wolves I don't know but it would surely be part of planning considerations.


12.) 23 Jun 2025 18:19:41
Deep, I believe we have a waiting list for seaso tickets but have no idea how that translates to hospitality accomodation. My intuitive reaction is that hospitality denand is probably almost totally dependent on the current status and fashionability of the club concerned.


13.) 23 Jun 2025 21:23:02
Indeed I suspect that Chelsea attracts a lot of wealthy tourist fans and corporate event fans that sides outside West London will struggle to attract.
Even allowing for our alleged Korean fan base!


14.) 24 Jun 2025 09:39:49
If I may chip in being an outsider from Wolverhampton, yes wolves have a large fan base and like myself have been on a waiting list for some, I just had an invitation to apply for next season, my love of the wolves stems back to the success in the 50s, it brought the wolves to national and international acclaim, we're still recognised with some affection wherever in the country that I go.
Today though, all I see is the youth in man u, Chelsea Liverpool City spurs and arsenal shirts, a lot in Barcelona.
Alot of the reason is of course TV coverage, but undoubtedly the success of the mentioned teams also plays its part, news media coverage is filled with the same teams and their players commonly known.
How many of those youngsters have been to, or go regularly to old Trafford Annfield etc. (Given I live in oxfordshire), must ve debatable but the club merch is selling afar.
Success and media coverage are the driving forces here, after Oxford utd return into the championship and sky tv coverage I am seeing their shirts being worn again in abundance in this area the team will soon be moving to a new ground to the outside North of the city, but its a venture that could easily fall flat if relegation occurred and other events were not to support it.
Going back to my original point of my support for the wolves and supporter numbers I worry that the fifties legacy may now be being lost and the few, like my son, who like father was brought up a wolves die hard will have offspring swayed by TV and social media to the 6 who monopolise the screens etc.
The only way to make money and prosper is to succeed, hold on to players get a regular media spread and get in the European gravy train.
Ground wise, obviously the mol is dear to me, a familiar friend visited frequently across 60 years, the mol is most certainly the home of the club and to move would lose some of the identity of Wolverhampton wanderers for me.
Get it up to date and joined up at the corners, keep up with the times obviously, supplement that with the sponsorship we'd maybe deserve, I don't mean rename it the 'blah blah' stadium but obviously a renown name.
As I've repeated before, it's free to dream. But we need to keep the fan base in someway.
Romantic ramble over. COYW.


15.) 24 Jun 2025 12:41:20
Good post, Abbey. I don't want to see us move, but if we did, the only reall option I can see is a new stadium at the i54. A molineux rebuild would probably require a temporary home, maybe at the Alexander Stadium for a season. A new stadium where Asda is located is the only other option I can think of.


16.) 24 Jun 2025 15:24:49
Abbey - heartfelt and great post!
My son despite being decked out in a Wolves kit almost from birth is now, as an adult, a Chelsea fan!
They win an awful lot and are wall to wall on TV etc etc.
ps We were at the "Bridge" for the 4-2 two years ago - not sitting together of course - but boy did I love the dinner after the game?


17.) 24 Jun 2025 17:45:59
A sad reflection was, again bearing in mind we're in Oxon, was a primary school day when the kids were allowed to wear football shirts due to the world cup being played, we were in Div 1 (championship now). My lad wore the old gold, other kiddies were decked out in mainly man u, there were a few spurs arsenal and Chelsea, some England. He came home upset because the other kids didn't know the team from his shirt, the teacher had asked the rest of the class for guesses none knew. To rub salt in his wounds the teacher then had to ask who's shirt it was.
After his first game, away at Swindon and a 2-0 win I believe, he was wolves, his first game at the mol was a friendly against Newcastle he was in awe. To this day he's as keen as me I'm glad to say.

Jeff Shi is supposed to increase revenue for the club.

Good full page article on analysis of Wolves situation in the Guardian today.
Pretty accurate in my view.
Headlines - Wolves have become a Clearing House of talent. Fosun deliberate strategy to tread the fine line of maintaining Premier League status for as little outlay as possible. Long term hard to identify a thread of hope in a club hollowed out by forces beyond it's control.
Hmmmmmm

Pretty close to the truth I would say. They spent to get us up and stay there, then seem only willing to spend again if Wolves Prem status is threatened, meanwhile selling the silver.

Absolutely TFIG!
I think some folk don't take those figures into account.
Just as you say if Samedo (a known quantity) goes, we would be in for saving only half or a bit less of his wages if we buy in a replacement plus in top a significant amount for buying a replacement. Unless of course Lima really is ready to step up to that full time fir the season.
That approach of course can't go on forever as players get too old, or are doubtful in the job. Eg where some. might say guides or sarabia, and perhaps Hwang too.
.our £35m boy wonder is another matter entirely of course ?

Truly tragic for us if he goes this window.
And nobody is going to pay £80m now anyway

Oh why ok why do we just decide to defens a kead and deep fir the last 30 minutes! Against Brighton too.!
Wrecking a star buy and find.
Think Jackson good too (espc for the money)- made some good tackles.and then that speed - if we use it.
Didn't rate Santi B at all.but this season since he's been playing- very good.
Why he took Hugo off don't kniw. Wolfe looks nowhere near it.
Encouraging though overall I thought - especially from the first few games of the season. Coming together niw hopefully, new boys settling in. VP sirting it - sort of.

From what you've posted before, even listening live is rare for you I gather. You're a busy man. And it must take a lot of your time to write those loooong posts too - even though they say more or less the same

Absolutely disgraceful. No idea, no passion. No ability it seems.
But you have to look to vp. Has he any clue what his best team, formation, tactics are? At all?
He talks the talk, but.
Any we give him a new 3 year contract! As per GON. Honour management know anything .at all!
After getting my nearly 80 year old body drenched getting to and from the ground today, I've even got a ticket for Tuesday!
Will someone certify me please!
