SERIOUSLY JESUS CHRIST HE'S DONE ANOTHER ****!! Only the keeper to beat.. *I'M LITERALLY BEADING WITH SWEAT HERE* HERE IT COMES, 1 V 1....(!!!!!****!!!!) Goalkick to Watford. (Shot by Traore goes towards the top right of the goal, over the stands and breaks local council house window. Woman with rolling pin is leaning out shouting wildly "this is the 5th time this season you word removed!") ". you have been studying him too much. but he must be good he is worth 20 million.....Jack Grealish is only worth a bit more.......apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Will watch Adama with interest there. Wolves don't really play wingers so interested where they put him on the pitch. Surprised they haven't signed a good striker with all the money they've spent. Bonatini hardly scored a goal after xmas in the championship, Helder Costa and Cavalerio are inconsistant and Raul Jimenez has a mediocre scoring record in europe so far although guess he'll be starting striker for them.

MikeAVFC Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) In talks to sign Leander Dendoncker from Anderlect and Oleksander Zinchenko from City according to sky.

Hornso Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Think Adama will be a good option to bring off the bench to run at tired players for the last 10-20 minutes. Hopefully for his sake he can get his head up and develop some end product also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) With Adama, Hélder Costa and Cavaleiro all now options for RW you’d think one of the later two would be available for a loan or something Edited August 9, 2018 by villaglint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love seeing all these articles of the PL big boys sweating. I read one that said "Wolves. Are they shady or brilliant, or both?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then after that they'd be ready for it and deal with him comfortably. As everyone else has said, he has huge potential, but I struggle to see him realising it. The signs are there last season that he was improving but I'm not so sure he'll have the same success in the Prem. If he ever gets it all right, he'll be incredible. I just don't see it happening.

Demitri_C Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I don't see how much if a impact he can do there at a higher level . He couldn't even beat a 34 year old defender in the Scottish cafu over two legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to my Wolves mate about him today, “raw talent” was a phrase that was used. I did remind him that we were saying the same thing three years ago. Maybe he’ll come good, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he becomes more of an impact sub for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) I said last season that Neves would get in most premier league sides and I stand by that, he'd be a regular for at least 16 of the sides in this league, he's top class. Wolves need some better defenders and a good striker, despite Jimenez scoring he's really not very good at all and won't get double figures this season. If they get a better centre half, right back and striker they could get a Europa League spot. Edited August 11, 2018 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Don't think Wolves have enough goals in the final third to finish that high (was talking to a few Portuguese fans on another forum and they said Jimenez needed another striker alongside him at Benfica to be fully effective so not a lone frontman). They'll be comfortable mid table though which is pretty much the same. Everton must've wished they''d have got in Mina sooner as Jagielka red cost them the win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a reasonably effective target man but a shite finisher, striker has to be a priority for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
