Big Al and Gobby were ripping the piss out of him this morning for that masterpiece

Sounds like Pep is happy to put Nunes on scrapheap. What a shame.

Looks like they are going to utilise the Mendes / Saudi link

In January, our performances had been improving and we were fighting for Europe. In that transfer window, we could have been more aggressive and brought more competition to some key positions. An extra forward, for example –

thankfully we learnt a lesson from that...shame it was - I remember how to do that, lets do it again.

Good job he’s writing again, his reply to this article will be awesome

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Where to even start with it.

The club wanted me to adopt a more attacking, possession-dominant style of football.

That'll be why you started with four games out of five scoring 0 goals (we scored twice in the other game, one of them an own goal), and had a separate run of 2 goals in 8 games before the calendar year was out.

If that was the brief then you should have been spending Christmas back in Lisbon.

And the fans liked our performance in the first season.

Guess again, you twat.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep! I liked it so much I gave up my season ticket.

 

[White Wolf]

Calling one of his successes establishing Kilman as a starter is... interesting.

Kilman was just about the only player who looked better under Lage than Lop or Gaz.

 

[Lycan]

Kilman was just about the only player who looked better under Lage than Lop or Gaz.

He did at the start, faded towards the end and the Kilman/Collins partnership in his second season was an absolute disaster.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Bit of revisionism/recency bias here isn't there? Up until the last 10 games or so (from when Dawson got injured) Kilman had been having a pretty good season.

Far too much focus has been put of him being captain, which isn't his fault.

 

[YoungWolf]

Kilman has been fine this season. He was decent enough under Lop was as well (helped having Dawson and Toti either side of him for sure in the way we set up)

He was terrible without Dawson next to him.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Lage only played him as a last resort at the start of 2021/22 as everyone else was injured. Then he played well and kept his spot. Bigging it up as a masterplan that he always intended to do is unsurprisingly bollocks.

30m fine tho?

 

[YoungWolf]

No - but as it’s crazy we had a bid like that for him (and worse we rejected it) that’s not ever really been my yard stick for him.

He’s a decent enough bottom half premier league defender. We’ve got great value from the fee we actually paid for him, even more reason I scratch my head that we turned down Napoli’s bids for him.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's not awful, just very limited and in turn limits us.

In the pantheon of modern day Wolves centre halves he's closer to Berra and Craddock than Lescott and Boly.

 

[Alan]

He’s only ever as good as the CB next to him IMO. Double-edged sword in a way.

If Yerson is as good as I think he is, I can imagine (though wouldn’t bet on) Kilman waking up a bit. He’s no captain, though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Unless we play a very low block with lots of help in front of him I don't think he can play in a pair with anyone. Too slow on the turn, too easily bullied physically and too reactive.

Being locked into 3 CHs forever because we've hitched our wagon to him is a crap situation. A needless one too.
