Seen some odd team news for tomorrow, team that I have seen is:-
Sa, Wolfe, Santi, Krejci, Mosquera, Jackson, Andre, Joao, Angel, Hwang and Armstrong.
Surely Hugo and R. Gomes start, was also hoping Hwang would not start with our new additions.
Think Rob was again praising Hwang in the week, guess he has too.
Be interesting to see our starting line up tomorrow as always.

If Hwang plays this week you have to say what's the point of signing anyone. Can't believe RE rates him, every week the weakest player and still makes the side. He's not doing your reputation any good Rob.!

In all honesty I’m guessing playing Hwang is the only thing Fosun have insisted RE do. God help him! ?
We all know he’s $#!T

Maybe he keeps playing Hwang because (like those before him) RE rates him or it could even be because he's our joint top goal scorer.?! I have to be honest I think Hwang gets a rough ride, he's got 2 goals and an assist in 19 apps. Tolu on the other hand has 1 goal and no assists in 20 apps having had FAR better chances but I don't see anyone questioning his place in the same way.
Also when people assume that multiple managers are openly lying about there reasons for picking the guy and it's ONLY because of marketing then I think it's time to take off the foil hats gents! I'm not saying I think the guys a world beater but when all of the managers we have had continue to pick him are we essentially saying we don't trust a single one of their judgements?! Or is it not FAR more likely that as fans we don't seem to appreciate what he brings to the team in the same way that those managers that work with him day in day out seem to? I also think it's worth noting here that if he should chose to stay next year I think he would be VERY handy in the Champ as it's the sort of level that he should shine at ?

The difference between Tolu and Hwang is that Tolu actually brings something to the team, be that a physical threat, aerial threats or his like up play with the other players. Hwang on the other hand doesn't do any if that. He's had 1 decent game this season (against West Ham).
I remember a few years ago speaking to some Japanese tourists in Birmingham City Centre. They had paid £000's for a travel package to watch Man Utd. This was via an official club sponsor. This was in the days of Sun Ji Park. I believe Brighton do something similar now that Mitoma is a superstar in his homeland.
Is it possible that Wolves are doing something similar with Hwang and South Koreans? I mean there's got to be a reason why the clubs official streaming partner is Kocawa.

In your opinion Hwang offers nothing but REs selection policy and recent press release would suggest (like those that came before him) they don't especially agree! Like I say it's not like I'm a big fan of the guy, I'm just not sure that he's any worse than any of the other MANY passengers we've had in the team this year?!
And whilst I suspect you are correct Good in that his presence probably does bring 'some' extra money in let's be realistic here shall we.
Cause he won't be bringing in more money than Prem status is worth and if peeps honestly think that successive managers would risk there own and the clubs reputation by picking a guy they don't rate then I fear we may be a little beyond the looking glass with our opinions of Fosuns stewardship of the club?!
Also worth noting here that '1 decent game this season' is pretty much how you'd describe this WHOLE clubs entire season so far, so I don't think Hwangs alone on that front! ?

I have to agree Bully, Hwang seem to be the new scapegoat, he offers something, and to be fair to him, he has played ok recently, there are moments where he could be better, but generally the whole team could, Hwang wants to be here and that will do me, we can clearly seen now who doesn't, we have paid much more money for one or 2 players who have done far worse than Hwang, so cut him some slack.

BullysBoy, we'll never know what goes on a boardroom level, but from my own personal experience, having been to every home game this season, Hwang is easily the worst player this season. He's had one decent game. Everyone around me in the North Bank say the same thing about him.

Bullysboy Hwang is crap.
He’s played by every manager because they’re told to play him. That can be the only reason!
