Can't see him taking them further with that style of football. Think they will finish around 7th/8th I don't see this as a big problem. 7th/8th is **** terrific for Wolves, I'm not sure it's realistic to expect them to top that with the resources at the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fanbase is another that bought in to the ultra competitive PL rich owners and they were going places, now they've hit the same stumbling block that several other clubs hit They were told what the PL was all about and how big a jump it was from being a good team to a great one and getting top 4 and came back with that's not them they are different They're not different They're not better than what villa did under MON, they're incredibly blinkered to it though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners want to be in CL but going to be difficult given they've already sold Doherty and Jota and they could well cash in on Jimenez as I think his contract is running down. Neves stock seems to have gone down this season with him not starting as much and Moutinho now mid 30s so midfield needs a bit of a rebuild. Think they're where we are around around 2010 now although will take a few horrific boardroom calls to get them falling down the league as we spectacularly did.

O’Neill finished 6th three times which they haven’t managed and they haven’t met his points total in any of those seasons either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Jimenez is nearly 30 and has failed at other clubs before, he will not get many takers in the market bit of a Roque Santa Cruz. Wolves is his home and is shining there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I feel like that's the first back 4 wolves have played in the Prem. Was it an enforced change due to injury or just tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 They bought neto who is alright to be fair That's the model, buy someone, buy his young replacement, sell him at a profit, keep the quality going The problem is they'll hit the wall before they can make the jump to 4th and they will buy an nzogbia eventually Their set up is good though, vitinha will replace Mourinho, silva will replace jimenez, ait Nouri and hoever could be good players I think they just need another 2 or 3 more established quality players to push on and even then it'll take luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Jimenez confirmed as a fractured skull. Wishing a speedy recovery. I'd imagine he may have to wear one of those Cech type helmets when he returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great news he's regained consciousness, but I have serious doubts he'll play football again, or at the least come back the same player. Ryan Mason never recovered and he was younger than Jimenez. In that case he wanted to return to football and felt able, but doctors ruled it out given the risk to him playing again. Either way wishing Jimenez a speedy and full recovery. Fantastic player and will be a huge loss for Wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
