Good morning my fellow Wolves.

It's game day so as always I am very excited. I fancy us today even without Podence. Willian the Brazilian to get himself off the mark too!

I have an interesting topic of discussion to put to the group. Loan signings.

I'm sure we all agree that if the season was over now we would all exercise the option on Willian the Brazilian. But what would you do with Vitinha and Ait Nouri?

If we exercised all options that's a £60m spend leaving us little to no transfer budget. Even spending that may mean we have to sell someone.

So my question to you all is simple. You can only keep one Vitinha or Ait Nouri, who do you keep and why? Or would you keep neither? Or both (if so tell me why) .

My personal view, I'd keep Ait Nouri. I think he is an upgrade on Vinagre and will surpass him. I think his defending will improve given time and could prove to be a real asset.

Vitinha I like, but I'm not sure he's a number 10. I see him as very Moutinho like and given we are crying out for a box to box power house I don't think he'll ever fit that bill. But, I fear he could go on to be a world beater and we'd regret letting him go.

So that's where I am, Ait Nouri, just. Interested to hear all your views!

I honestly think its to early to say. This is a strange season and wuth so many injuries having happened we haven't really seen that much of any of them.

Hi Matt, I would try and keep both, as they both have potential, Jose a must to for me, can't wait for him to link up with Raul, perfect partnership, but that maybe next season, as I hope they give Raul, this season to recover, and make sure he's hundred percent, even tho he is desperate to play
3-1 to day Jose hatrick 👍.

Absolutely not Ait Nouri for me and I personally don't see him as an upgrade on Vinagre. If you want Ait Nouri as an attacker, maybe but he cannot defend.

Look at the pen he gave away at Leicester and the poor way he nearly cost us a point at Brighton. He has no defensive nous or presence which is a problem for a defender.

People say that Raul has been the reason we have dipped in our performances and results but equally Jonny has been a massive loss for me. Losing both wingbacks has affected our style of play big time. Losing our focal point just topped it off.

Don’t really see too much to get excited about when matchday rolls around, we’re on coarse to finish in MM’s favourite position (17th) made terrible decisions weakening the squad in the last two transfer windows and are extremely fortunate there are three teams below us in the table, imagine just where we’d be iif we hadn’t caught Arsenal and Chelsea at the right time, ten points worse off, so in real terms we’ve only taken sixteen points from the other seventeen teams, this season can’t finish soon enough for me.

Thanks for the debate guys. Grey, interesting view, just playing devil's advocate, if keeping all 3 meant no other summer business without selling would you still keep them?

Statto, I hear what you're saying mate. I think our wb/ fbs struggle as they don't get much support. If we played a 4 with a midfield 3 of dendonker, neves, OO that could protect our fbs and give us energy in the middle. Of course then you sacrifice a number 10.

Ait Nouri has has glimpses of what he's capable of and at only 19 I think that's worth building on.

Any more views?

Matt v good q
Jose surely is a yes as we needed a back up CF last year and didn't get an adequate one. He looks like he is perfect. He seems from his early minutes good enough to play, (whilst it was obvious from the first few minutes that Silva wasn't) instead or as well as (in a 2) Jimenez.
With respect to the other 2.
We haven't seen enough of Vitor which tells you that Nuno is a "no" but strangely what we have seen I think has been promising.
Maybe try to extend the loan or play him more in the dog ends of the season to decide. Also let's see if a more realistic fee can be negotiated if we are going to take it forward - certainly no more than £10m with add ons and preferably less.
The market is not where it was (and we are paying) and we need to make our counterparties aware that we are no longer the last fool standing
RAN guess it depends on Vinagre and Marcal. If either Marcal is gone - ie always injured - or Vinagre doesn't get sold he might make a 3rd/ 4th if you count Saiss choice.
However obviously not at £20m. Renegotiate to a modest fee £3m with add ons if he develops and you might think about it.
However he is hopeless defensively at the moment and can't be considered as first choice at his stage.
So yes Jose but probably no on the other 2 unless serious renegotiations take place or they perform far better in the last few weeks of season.

Good shout future, thanks for getting involved. I think if the fees could be negotiated and halved I'd maybe keep them both. I would hate for that to be our only business in the window though!

Well it was a great q and an interesting thread so thanks to you Matt.
Having watched today and seen Vitor left on the bench again it doesn't look good for him
Jose was also a bit disappointing - his lack pf pace really showing - so I might have been a bit optimistic there too.
However I think he is as good as we will get for a back up unless we are willing to gamble on a player from the Championship or from one of the relegated teams.
But who at SU, WBA or Fulham would you even consider?
