They better not have unfollowed me!!

Also not true they follow 1877 still

 

[Tredman]

It’s 1877 now

 

[Norman Deeley]

Any chance of shedding some light on the two that are incoming as opposed to how many Twitter accounts we follow?

No. The only reason people think 2 were incoming is that Wolves always follow 1877 people on twitter and apparently they were down to 1875 briefly, hence the excitement. Desperation.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Seriously? That's daft.

and yet in that time, finished 7th, FA Cup Semi Final, qualified for Europe, got to the last 32 of the Europa League and sitting in a decent spot in the Prem again. Maybe signing players is overated...

I will let you know in May. At the moment 2019 is underwhelming with regard to recruitment and 2020 hasn't started well.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

2019 wasn't underwhelming in terms of achievement though.

And frankly you know nothing about the 2020 recruitment or otherwise.

No.

If you think our 15 players capable of competing can all play sixty games this season, then fuck it sign no one.

I have my doubts.

We need at least three capable of starting or challenging to start.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Judge it on February the first. Not the ninth of January.

 

[Del Woppio]

We were having the same conversation 9 days into the last window tbf

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We were. And I don't dispute that. BUT - it seems unfair to judge now doesn't it?

If it has been a poor window come February I will moan like a good'un but for now it's impossible to call bar I am sad to be seeming to lose Cutrone.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Cutrone and Cav have gone and Costa too. Jota is on crutches.
Our striking options have gone from thin to anorexic.
Based on the last 12 months windows we have every right to start grumbling.

I don't want to hear any bollocks about identified targets changing their mind at the last minute either.

We have played more games than anyone else and we are still in 3 competitions. If we wish to remain challenging in them we need to add quality that should have been added in the summer, now. Shit got real now. Don't blow it!

Dont think you can put yourself on your ignore list...

 

[sycophantia]

We're a week into the window, why are folks panicking? No doubt the club are working hard to bring in the players we need. Hopefully they will succeed.

 

[YoungWolf]

That's strange, Fiorentina have actually tweeted pictures of Cutrone arriving in Italy.

I don't think anybody wants us to fail and we all want to the club to succeed otherwise why bother supporting.

I have no doubt the recruitment staff at the club are working hard, you and I could work hard at being astronauts, if you haven't got the skills and ability you won't succeed. So far the recruitment team haven't shown ability to recruit well enough at this level.

I hope that changes.

I would say people are panicking because we have 1 striker capable of playing at this level, 2 fit wingers and the other player who is capable of playing there is much better in a front 2 in a more central role imo (Jota) it looks like Moutinho might be injured too as he's not to be seen in the Wolves training video and our other 2 midfielders are currently playing centre back and look more suited to those roles.

I was more comfortable than many others in my opinion at the start of the season with the squad even though i though we were a couple short but i maintain what i said then that this is a massive chance to progress with so many teams in transition or just generally struggling. Top 4 is on, top 6 is definitely on and so is a good run in the EL but we need reinforcements and soon or our squad depth will come back to haunt us. For example if Raul gets injured on Saturday who comes on?

I'm not panicking yet because we have time to fix this but i'm not going to have my head in the sand and ignore the obvious areas we need to improve/add to. I also understand we are ahead of where many thought we would be but because our recruitment and management has been so good up until the summer imo we are ahead and sometimes opportunities arise, you can't not be prepared for those and possibly let them pass you by, you have the grab them and run with them as they might never come again

Yeah I agree with that, but too late to anything about our recruitment people now, we just got to hope they pull something out the bag in the next couple of weeks

Isnt this "what they do" in Italy and then announce it properly in a few days?...
