Welcome to Molineux Benik Afobe

DejaVu... Been here before...
 
I also don't think Afobe is a big enough personality for Wolves, despite his decent record. A little too young and inexperienced for my liking - don't forget Dicko is only 22 and he fits that role.

I'd still prefer an older head, someone you wouldn't mess around with who can hold the ball up and head the ball as a plan B to Dicko. Not many of those about...

It was blatantly obvious that when Dicko was injured we needed someone who could be a direct replacement for Dicko, hence why we've signed Afobe. If he then proves to be better at the Dicko role than Dico then all the better.

Jackett has build a team based on 4-2-3-1 and we clearly haven't got the players to play 4-4-2 as has been proven. The likes of Graham, Wood, etc. do not fit our style of play.
 
Thanks for the support Jole. Obviously there are cliques on all forums, it's just a real shame when they deter new posters from participating.

I know a few posters from on here but I'm not "cliquey" with them. I enjoy travelling down from Yorkshire and meeting up for a prematch beer with them but if they are wrong on here I'll tell them.
My only problem with your post was you came on, slagged off the new signing and called for the board to be sacked. (although why Steve Morgan would sack himself is beyond me) You didn't make a comment on any other thread, even the one where every fan on here has given their condolences on the loss of the greatest owner this club has ever had.
This is why you have come over as a WUM but I'm sure you could contribute so much more to the forum if you really wanted.

On to Afobe...My inlaws are GUTTED he has left MK, telling me he was a virtual guarantee of promotion for them and now we've "stolen" him....His goals show he isn't lightweight, can finish with both feet and his penalties show a coolness beyond his years
 
Just stick to references to the thread title now please.

I think Wood would have fit that 1 up top, as despite having those qualities he is different to the others listed I believe (from the few times I have seen him he is pretty mobile).

Good! Remind em about their piss taking when they did us 2-0!

Suspect that he cut his nose off to spite his face in the manner he rejected a loan/move to us last year.

Deja, get real, in the past i've had more scraps on here with the so called clique, than maybe even Wolf Hunting. If a majority of people in one forum having the same opinion is a clique then so be it, but really sir, get a life.

I must add that a good deal, not all , of my spats have had personal issues in my own life behind them. Hey it's a fact, when my life is going to hell, i am not the most jovial chappy on earth, but your sir have a consistant record of wumming, so don't blame everyone else, get a mirror, look hard and ask yourself difficult questions.

and stop fucking up the forum for your own ego!
 
Pavlos - let's just move on. Deja is entitled to his opinion whether it is a popular one or otherwise until it breaks the forum rules, and it hasn't. Best really to just discuss the thread topic without re-stoking a fire that was dying.

ha ha fair enough Paddy, but i just got home and couldn't resist.
 
Possibly a dumb question but how are we pronouncing Benik's surname. Is it A-fobe or A-fobe-ay?
 
We don't worry about that at Wolves anymore with Bath, House and Goldbourne just go with what you want.
 
A-Foe-Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
 
Cheers mate. Now if we can just bring back Michael Knightly...
 
I think you'll find the only major cliques on here are the ones where the majority tell you you're talking rubbish.
 
Really like some of his comments after the match

Seems to know the game well and reflects well on the football education he received coming through at Arsenal
