A number of signings? So based on that article, 2?

I know we've all known we are down for months, but if at the start of Jan they genuinely thought there was a chance of staying up after beating West Ham then you aren't targeting Armstrong

We would’ve also been active straight after that win rather than chilling until deadline day

Seems we asked about Angel G early doors. Guess the player was a no until it became clear he had no other options

 

[Leyton Wolf]

Big gamble for him though. At the very least he'd need another new contract. Feels we are already planning for him to not be there to me, I don't see him and Armstrong as a fit

Yeah — if he stays and we're a basket case next season his stock drops by default even if he plays well individually.

I do think going somewhere and struggling for minutes would be rough for him after this break out. We'd never do it and I'm not sure I'd want us to but you could sell him to a top prem club and loan him back for the year. That way he's in that division the following year regardless.

No, we'd have decided to wait and see what signings we needed. I'm not defending the club, it's a joke, but you aren't signing a player at the start of January on PL money in the position we were in, which I think you are suggesting and that's before you take into account they wouldn't have come. Apart from the gaslighting they've played this one right.

 

[Carsy]

He's basically Kenny Miller for the 2020s but not quite as good.

I do wonder what our strategy (stop laughing at the back) will be. Is it just buy a load of good Championship players as we'll have more money than anyone else, get rid of everyone we can from the existing squad (please do) and then have another rebuild if it all works out?

We won't build what we had in 2017 so that might be the best way forward. Essentially if you don't go up in year 1 or 2 following relegation then you get stuck, and honestly, fuck that noise.

Id imagine will be a mixture of the 2. Jorge will give us a couple of young players who are likely to good for championship, not in the neves/jota ilk, but also some other players with championship pedigree.

Feels odd to say that even though we’re sinking badly, I think we will still have quite a high turnover of players - which in itself is bizarre

Young players like Fer Lopez? Mendes is gone, he's just here to make money off us now. We'll get the likes of Ola John, Texiera etc.

Don't check into your hotel just yet Jorgen..

Young players like Fer Lopez?

López is class. I'm a little disappointed with him but more disappointed with Wolves that we haven't found a role for him in one of the worst PL teams of all time.

I’m suggesting that if we genuinely thought we had a chance of staying up, there would’ve been an attempt to strengthen earlier, as ultimately waiting to the end of the window means throwing away other games.

Granted January as you’ve said is a strange window, and deals rarely done at the start.

I think they’ve played it right, as we were clearly down, and I think the club knew that. The ‘we’ve still got a chance’ club line was just a line, as you can’t really say in January ‘we’re down’ can you.

 

[Tony Towner]

López is class. I'm a little disappointed with him but more disappointed with Wolves that we haven't found a role for him in one of the worst PL teams of all time.

Give over, he's miles off a PL footballer. He's very talented, he's nowhere near ready. Not what we needed and not at that money.

We’ll see. I’m sure there are other young players on his roster.

Must’ve missed that thought it was only a recent one.

Must be something in the background with that one. 7m option for the player I remember seems to good to be true

 

[Tony Towner]

We’ll see. I’m sure there are other young players on his roster.

I think you've misread where we are in his list of priorities and where he is in terms of what he offers, but time will tell.

The latter may be true, I don’t know his roster of players currently, I’m just making that assumption.

Regarding his list of priorities, I get what you mean, but it’s almost a proven model for him from last time. I’m not suggesting it will be the same. It won’t. But he could get a few players over to us, the have a good season in champ etc, if we get promoted their value shoots up and we’re back on the merigo round of selling our best players, even though we’ve ’learnt our lesson’

Could be totally wrong but wouldn’t surprise me

 

[Wilf Wolf]

He’s nowhere near ready for the PL but I can’t help thinking he’d have contributed more than Hwang if he’d had the minutes he has. With more games who knows how much he would have improved?

 

[YoungWolf]

My problem with Lopez is not the player himself (clearly talented, but not ready) but that they spent all of last season saying we weren’t going to make the mistake and the first thing we did with the Cunha and Ait Nouri is choose to spend £20m on a player who had such limited senior experience.

If he was properly complimented he would have been an okay signing. Same with Arias. Imagine a different timeline where we made other signings and were roughly in that pack at the bottom, but you had Lopez and Arias starting to be properly embedded having settled and been worked into the tactical setup that uses them to their strengths they showed elsewhere.

 

[WarwickWolf]

Wolves accept Palace offer for JSL

Strand Larsen heading for medical

It'll probably go wide.

Obviously not the same type of player but in 2019 we sign Neto (mendes stooge etc) because come in and there’s no pressure to perform instantly as we have Jota, Raul, Adama even. We just don’t have that luxury. How can they be so stupid?
