Welcome to Wolves Emmanuel Agbadou

Meupiyou was surely known to be a bit of a punt; what’s he got to his name, 15 whole minutes of senior football?

Again though we shouldn't be pleading poverty, cutting managers off in important transfer windows and then spending a combined 10 million on Meupiyou and Gonzalez who are/were clearly miles off first team level.

We don't have the funds (or choose not to have) to be spending £5m on punts. Or to put it another way that's more than the value of the extortionate ST rise.

Oh no, definitely not, didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

His purchase could and should have been supplemented by someone more ready.

Punts are all 5m gets you these days IMV.

What a difference this guy has made. Absolutely no nonsense defending from him and leadership. Great signing.

You prefer him to Toti then....

 

[Lycan]

He was brilliant today again

Where the fuck have we found this guy btw. Real credit to our scouting department on this one. He's superb.

To think we wanted O'Shea...

 

[Tredman]

He’s a proper leader. Captain next season

 

[Kenny]

Agbadou was on the list last summer from reports but GO wanted a PL ready defender and O'Shea was the option.

I presume the lad watched PL games really closely for the next 4 months to ensure he was ready

 

[PuntsWolf]

As I said in midweek. No idea why premier league teams have been sleeping on him. Chelsea have signed a handful of CBs for plenty more, from the same league. United the same. City have signed Khusanov too. Admittedly most of these have age on their side, but he’s 27. He’s got 5 years at this level easily with a fraction of the transfer and wages. Right now he’s better than all of them

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He's good, but I'm not sure he's top 4/6 good?

 

[Deano]

He's a monster at the back. We have signed him at almost the perfect time. He won't be going anywhere in the summer as we have only just signed him and the summer after he will be 28 coming 29 so unless he takes a ridiculous step teams won't outlay silly amounts for him. We could have a very very good Premier League CB for 4-5 of his prime years at a more than reasonable price. More of the same in other positions would be nice

 

[PuntsWolf]

Is he better then Badiashile, Disasi, Khusanov, Yoro, Fofana (I like him but he’s a lot of money and always injured), ? All more money and wages. Spurs also spent more on Dragusin and Danso.

They must have some under 23 filter on FM or something.

I think there’s a real dearth of quality CBs at the moment. We’re asking more of them than ever, and some qualities are taking priority over actual defending.
