Summer 2022 Transfer Window

The question is, how much more average can this left back in a mundane second tier team be? And the answer is none, none more average

The forum would have exploded if your were talking about Thommo.

de Wolf pre-injury was magnificent - very small sample size I know

Pre-injury, yes, absolutely.

Post injury we might as well have played the Exxon Valdes.

Spat my coffee out there. He had the turning circle of a north sea oil tanker and was as slow as an asthmatic ant carrying a bag of heavy shopping.

Only Neves left from the promotion side now. You wouldn't have put much money on that !

Dean Richards definitely gets compared against the other centre-halves of his time - and to be fair, he was massively better than most of them. I mean, look at this lot who played at centre-half for us at the same time as Richards and compare:

* Paul Blades
* John de Wolf post-injury
* Eric Young
* Mark Atkins
* Neil Emblen (who was far better in midfield)
* Adrian Williams
* Simon Coleman
* Steve Sedgley

But then that's like comparing Ruben Neves to Simon Osborn because Osborn was miles better than Corica.

Played with Curle too.

Keith Curle was absolutely miles better for Wolves than Dean Richards was.

Excuse me my friend but Mr Leo Bonatini is still an employee of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.

The annoying thing is Hwang's not even going to play any more and is 3rd choice in every forward position. Boggles the mind.

We'll be looking to offload him in January, probably for half what we could have got for him from Leeds.

Said this elsewhere but feel this will be the new "When Bristol inexplicable offered 5 million for Joe Mason"

Your sig seems particularly pertinent today

Curle was brilliant. A wily old dog.

The order of the list changes if it's "best", "most important", "most loved" etc. Richards drops further down on my list than yours for leaving as he did. Lescott is higher on my lists than I think his ability warrants for the way he left as well.

Kilman will be number one pretty soon on most lists.

Good point on Curle, he might have been a bit of an awkward character but he was very good for us.

So is Connor Ronan .

 

[19th Holer]

Where's Gary Breen ?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

So is Connor Ronan .

JUST sneaks in with his 29 minutes (all off the bench)

 

[Derby Wolf]

Let's not pretend for most of them it's scoring against the Albion they remember and not much else.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Numbers 11 to 22 (team of Gary Breens)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Lescott
Boly
Coady
Curle
Kilman
Saiss
Pollet
Venus
Shirtliff (pre-injury)
Bennett

For me.

All did more for Wolves than Dean Richards. You can talk about 'natural ability' all you like but Jamie O'Hara was a better footballer than Karl Henry, I know which one was better for Wolves.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

In unrelated randomness the way Nunes carries himself/looks reminds me of Tom Bennett.
