I think Stones and Bernie stay and see out their deals. Just my opinion as I’m a KFA. Grealish will be a loan due to wages and I fear Phillips will be too as the past 18 months have shown his confidence is shot. Just hope Leeds bring him back as some kind of emotive buy

Hi guys Wolves fan here in peace, RAN is my favourite player and I am sad to see him go, however I am glad to see that it's City that have signed him as I have always had a soft spot for you guys ever since the days of Summerbee, Bell, Pardoe, Oakes, Young etc etc, I would have hated to have seen Rayan go to any of the Reds be they in Lancashire or London, back to Rayan and i will try to answer some of the queries raised about him, firstly it's my belief that he comes from a very poor background, he does very little Social media so it's all good there, allegedly he is not very fashion conscious, he has never caused any issues off pitch, and always seemed to mix well with our Brazilian contingent at the training ground especially Joao Gomes, on the pitch let's get the bad thing out of the way first for whatever reason he has countless times suffered with cramp towards the end of games, these allegations about can't play in a back four well perhaps you had best ask Mr Salah about that because 1 on 1 he is very capable but can struggle if the opposition overload on his side, but what defender doesn't ?. Rayan is confident, very very good technically has very fast feet, loves to dribble, he can trap/kill a ball stone dead when it comes to him from height, he is not Kyle fast but he is fast enough, their is no doubt he prefers the wing back role as opposed to full back, however it's my belief that Rayan could play further forward which is why I believe he is a perfect fit for you guys, all in all you have a very good young player and whatever you have paid be it £32 or £50 million he is worth every penny, I feel sure you will soon see the best of Rayan and realise he belongs on the big stage which you can give him, good luck and enjoy watching him.

Can I ask why the grief for Nunes leaving for City but Nouri doesn't?

Ait Nouri today, Reijnders we know is having his medical tomorrow and Cherki Monday I imagine mate. Everyone needs registered for Tuesday I believe for the CWC. Exciting few days on the way!

I hope everything goes thru okay. I can relax then. These plus a right wing back and we have a decent looking squad. Must sell or loan out the geriatrics.

Towards the end of the season Bernardo looked up for it again. As if he'd got a second wind. Wouldn't surprise me — and I wouldn't be at all unhappy — if he stayed. Gundo? Who knows. Pep respects him so much as a player. I just think his legs have completely gone. The intelligence is there. Just not the ability for the body to apply it.
As for Johnny, the problem is who would actually take him, with that injury record? It is as bad as Vin's in the last few seasons. And Vin always had other places to go, and other options. He was preparing his exit from way back.
I agree that those are the only two who may be staying.

Thanks for that, good post.

Interesting he can play FB and WB. If we get a similar player for RB I think next season Pep will bamboozle other team(and us) with bizarre tactical formations. We'll be a far cry from last season's laboured bore fest of getting the ball into the box.

Agreed. I think he riled Wolves fans because of that. He threatened to go on strike which wasn't a good thing to do, especially as he still had 4 years left of the 5 year contract he signed. I didn't want us to sign him because of that. But when a player gets wind of interest from a big club they and agent often agitate a move because they don't want to miss the chance of hitting the jackpot. And Nunes won't sign for any club bigger than us, that's for sure.

I agree with your views on Gundogan and Bernardo but I am hopeful that Stones could play 20 plus league games for City again in a season.

Stones is on decent money. Do we want him taking up wages just for 20 games a season? His injuries are getting worse and worse each season. Love him and he's been class when he's played - but time for him to move on now

Much as it pains me to say it, because a in form John Stones is one of my favourite players to watch, I just don’t think he has a run of games in him anymore.

He can’t stitch an actual run together, and ends up breaking down after the third or fourth game - then being out of action for another couple of months.

He’s demonstrated he just can’t be relied upon anymore, and for that reason I think it’s time we let him go.

The difficulty will be finding a side he’d actually be willing to join to take him off our hands, so it may need to be a heavily subsidised loan.

Such a shame.

If he’d been able to stay fit, he’d be talked about as one of the undisputed greats of the game.

A centre back who genuinely helped redefine the role.

Hopefully we won’t be in a position we were last season trying to rush players back to fitness when not ready. Simpson-Pusey thrust into our defence was a highlight of just how bad the situation got. Reinforcements like Khusanov (jury’s on Reid regarding first team right now) will be a major plus but with Ake, Akanji and Stones the experience they can pass on will be significant. Not withstanding the HG for Ake and Stones looks more and more imperative to us.
