It's not where I "think we should be". We have no divine right to anything. God we know that. It's simply where I want to see Wolves and the kind of players I like to see in old gold. Donk over the past couple of seasons has been a let down. Agreed he's not had a decent run and positionally has moved about a bit but he's been cack in the main.
The issue I have with Donck pile ons like Naylor or Edwards before them is he tries. After watching countless players over the years who haven't - Anderton winning the gold medal, I look at the manager who picks the under par player or the recruitment that means he's there rather than the player himself. He has a competant ceiling, but that's not his fault
Think maybe I’ve phrased what I meant poorly, and looks as if we kind of agree. By ‘where you think we should be’ I meant if you think we should be part of the main ‘big 6’ (clearly you don’t and I’ve misunderstood) then yes we would need an upgrade. However looking at spurs, even at United centre mid i wouldn’t say swapping donk for say winks, Fred etc is a given. As our third choice CM for a team chasing Europe there’s worse players around.
At his best he's a really good player (with limitations in terms of technique), had Pogba in his pocket twice inside a matter of weeks in 2019. Yesterday was his best game since maybe Villa away right at the start of lockdown football which is pushing two years ago.
What I love about those clips is the number of times he just breezed away from Son. Looked like a man against a boy at times. Incredible growth from Kilman this season - long may it continue.
