General Wolves News

[Tony Towner]

Nuno is wed to three centre halves. Coady has barely missed a minute in three years. He is only mid twenties. This is sensible.

I agree it's highly unlikely we move from the 3, I'm more questioning whether at some point he wants a more natural defender there. We've discussed at length this week the desire to move the team up the pitch and in doing so that puts more pressure on your back 3 to win their one on ones. We know that's not Coady's strength. Mitrovic on more than one occasion, Barnes, Ambrose and Antonio being examples which spring to mind.

The club wouldn’t offer the contract of this length without Nunos blessing.

 

[Lycan]

Great news and fully deserved.

Would be an absolute dream to see Codes lift some silverware as Wolves captain.

Dissing the Uhrencup and the Premier League Asia Trophy, how dare you.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Very well deserved, but I'll question it a little bit

5 years for a player who can literally only play one position in the PL, he wouldn't even be competent in any other and then that one position is borderline unique to our formation. If Nuno decides to change that or bring in a player who is better defensively, then that saddles us with a large contract we won't be able to move on from

Surely all the above applied to Doc too?

 

[Tony Towner]

He had 3 years left, but appreciate your point. We'll see what Mourinho does with him in time. I think they'll go 343 eventually and give him a similar role. There's not a team in the PL who uses a player like we do Coady.

Anyway I don't want to derail the thread, I'm happy for him, but I do think for where we want to get to he needs upgrading...eventually

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think we will, he's the heartbeat of the club in so many ways.

Liverpool could buy a better midfielder than Henderson fairly easily, they don't though.

there probably is something in his captaining and organisational abilities at the moment. Tony Adams was similar for arsenal, and even england for a while.

Realistically, if Marques proceeds as hoped there could be a bit of a passing of the torch as we get towards 2024/2025 perhaps.

This is a nice story about one of our academy players that didn't make it. Marlon Walters, can't say I remember the name from the time.

As well as the EFL Championship.

I remember him, think he was a winger. He was class on Championship Manager, he developed into a really good player on every save.

But to be fair Cédric Roussel used to score 30+ a season on mine so....

 

[Tony Towner]

Used to watch him for Hednesford. He was a walking red card in centre midfield

From an athletic article on how hard it is to shift unwanted players

In January 2013, Wolverhampton Wanderers received bids for Jamie O’Hara and Roger Johnson from clubs who each offered to pay £15,000 of their £25,000 a week wages. Wolves were in turmoil in the Championship and neither O’Hara nor Johnson were playing for them, but chief executive Jez Moxey demanded their full contracts be covered. In the end, the pair stayed and Wolves were relegated for a second year running. When Johnson eventually left for Charlton Athletic in February 2015, Wolves paid up the rest of his contract minus a £1,000-per-week contribution from the Londoners.

Rui Patrício, Nélson Semedo, João Moutinho, Rúben Neves & Daniel Podence in the Portugal squad

 

[Boozad]

Is that Podence’s first call up?

Nice one Jez.

Timmy II - "Podence back in the squad, was first called up last year but yet to make his debut"
