Southampton 1-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

1.3 ppg for old Victor now. Complain away but that’s very comfortably safe next season if he makes zero improvements to our performances.
Essentially the starting statement for Jeff’s 2025/26 transfer strategy kick-off session.
 
My request for the rest of the season is for @Jinky to give a different player a comedy name before kick off.

Boosted Stranded Larsen no end.
I’d love to claim it, but the good chaps at everyone’s favourite Wolves podcast “Wolves Fancast” have been naming him this for a couple of weeks.

Even with his two goals today, I think comms said he’d only touched the ball 12 times or something like that 60 odd minutes into the match (I may have misheard this) - so as far as nicknames go…

Pleased he got a couple of goals today, though.
 
As Southampton have a keeper we wanted until the price was confirmed...if Sa had let in a goal similar to Larsen's first we would be calling him every c*nt under the sun.
Dreadful keeping for me. No anticipation of the header, poor foot work and it goes in just to the side of him.
We wasted £10m on SJ but at least we avoided wasting £18m or so on that relegation master.

I think Vitor could make a decent fist of the PL if we have a good summer window
I know this is extremely pessimistic but I’m already resigned to us selling Cunha and Joao for about 110/120m and spending about half of it on players that don’t really immediately improve us
 
Guedes isn't on my list (it's laminated so can't change it)
Doherty
S Bueno
Hwang
Dawson
Kalajdzic (shame but he is clearly broken and will have been out for 18 months by the time he even next gets a chance to try)
Sarabia
Bentley
Forbs
Guedes (x 1000)
Johnstone
King
Chiquinho
Chirewa
Hoever
Lembikisa
Hodge
Fabio

I don't want Semedo to go but he will, so that's 18. So will Cunha, 19.

I'm never going to be a big Sa fan but I don't expect us to replace 4 keepers (4 keepers Jeremy, 4? That's insane) all in one window so I'm stuck with him.

Far from convinced with Munetsi and Djiga appears to be so off the required level that he can't get past 2025's Matt Doherty, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt just so Alan doesn't get upset.

I did not laminate mine so we shall forget that three months ago I had Bellegarde on there.

Think those 2 will be a minimum, we just have to hope Andre doesn't go at the same time or we'll really be in the shit.
 
Another 3 points, another defeat for Ipswich. Job done. Another 'dirty' day tomorrow having to want Man United to win. Realistically should be job done, effectively 10 points clear of 2 awful sides that haven't won a game for ages.

I have been a Vitor fan from day one and what he has done with O'Neil's mess is superb. I really, really hope that this season has woken Fosun up and they realise we can't afford to take these risks again next year. We are moving clear of one of the worst bottom 3s of recent times but we are still a way below the rest of the Premier League too. Staying up is the only priority for now though.

Pleased to see JSL step up and fill the goals void left by Cunha.

Not to be even more pessimistic, but I’d be stunned if they add up to that amount. João in particular I can’t figure out. Second half he was fine, first half, though…

I guess I can’t see us getting an offer of more than £30m or so for him. And even that kind of feels like pushing it, IMO.

We’d get at least 50 if we sold him this summer I think. Some rumours last few days he’s going to Liverpool too
 
If the game plays out in exactly the same way for 86’ (or whenever they scored) under GO, I’d bet good money we lose 3-2.
Don't disagree Al, throw in a scrap at full time with several players embarrassing themselves and 1 or 2 getting reds and suspensions

Hope you’re right, in a way (would prefer he stay for another year, but admit I don’t keep up with contracts so timing may force our hand). I like him a lot, I’m just not sure what he provides is “sexy” enough to draw a bid like that. Not dissimilar to Ruben in that way.
