Live Match Discussion: 2020/21

Fofana made Werner look like Fabio Silva yesterday. Soyuncu is rapid aswell. They are the sort of CBs we need to be targetting

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fofana will go for over £100m if he leaves Leicester. He’s that good.

 

[leedswolf]

Fofana

Every time I hear his name I get the Phsycho Killer earworm...

 

[AndyWolves]

Even the most optimistic person would concede those 5 are not Castagne, Teilemans, Justin, Fofana and Praet. Those are players who all instantly get in our side. No bedding in needed.

Not yet

 

[Derby Wolf]

Palace 3-2 up from 2-1 down against the Witton Historians.

Eze is a fine player but he's going to be supreme in a year or two.

 

[YoungWolf]

It took Justin nearly 12 months to get in their team which is a bit like... ait nouri. Just like it took time for Ndidi a while to be as good as he is. Leicester’s recruitment is good but they buy ahead. If they sign soumare it will be a perfect example of being prepared for one of the midfielders to leave

But not Castagne, Tielemans or Fofana.

Our recruitment for the first team has been poor this season. To compare it to Leicester is as one eyed as you can get.

Look at Eze for Palace and Watkins for Villa as young players that are first team ready. Ours simply were not when we bought them.

 

[SSB]

The Mike Dean show yet again.

 

[jd1981]

That’s a disgusting decision to disallow that goal id be absolutely furious.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Alison with a 94th minute winner at the Crem

 

[Tredman]

Great header.

You can’t stand offside right in front of the keeper a yard away.

 

[PuntsWolf]

It made no difference though (not interfering). Players routinely sprint after a ball then stop and let a team mate get it, or let it go through their legs/ step over it and that isn’t flagged offside.

From the view behind the goal it was clear he obscured the view of the header, fair to say if Allison had seen it he would have moved to his right.

I’ll have to watch it again but looked to me like it made no difference

 

[Boozad]

Leicester bought players who could go straight into their side (bar Fofana probably who was probably seen for the future and got shoved in due to injury but has performed brilliantly), we bought youth to supplement a first team who had performed brilliantly over the last two seasons. That first team got decimated and we had to rely on players we'd brought in for the future, Leicester didn't. Comapring our business to theirs is daft, the agendas were completely different.

 

[Deano]

The thing is some people seem to think that because they're young players they're just for the future. The reality is they aren't kids being promoted from the academy to see if they're worth a go they have been purchased for large sums of money or have agreements in place for large sums.

They were bought with the future in mind for sure but the way the Wolves squad has been set up in the last few years and it being light on numbers those players were always going to have to step in and play a significant amount of games and unfortunately most of them don't look anywhere near capable at the moment.

Performing 'brilliantly' still had Wolves finishing behind Leicester last time around yet the latter still sought to improve their first team.

Which is pretty much exactly what I said.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

You cited the agenda being different, 3 points and two places between them says otherwise, but the team who was slightly ahead still made the more instant improvement whereas the worse of the two teams looked ahead and hoped to rely on the same players who hadn't finished as high.
