Yeah, he was loaned to Barcelona for 6 months but they opted not to sign him permanently.

If only they'd played us a few times he'd be there now.

So far this season in the PL, Wolves have both the worst attack & best defence (3 scored, 4 conceded) of any team.

In their last 5 games there has been a total of 4 goals.

Can we just fast forward past the last minute Adama Traore winner, please?

It's surprising how much Wolves appear to be struggling when you look through their squad.

They have a decent keeper in Jose Sa. Their full-backs Semedo and Ait-Nouri wouldn't look out of place in a top six side. Neves, Moutinho and Nunes has to be one of the best midfields in the league. And they have a lot of quality up front with Raul Jiminez, Neto, Traore and now Costa. I would've thought they'd be looking to at least finish in the top half with that squad, maybe even top eight.

Apparently they've only finished 3.9% of their chances this season. For comparison, Haaland is on 40.0%.

I’ve never been keen on the early Saturday kick offs, especially after playing CL mid-week.
But the new players have bedded in a little bit more, the sun is shining high in the sky, and I have a feeling that this could turn out to be a quite glorious day in more ways than one.
I know that Wolves are a tough nut to crack but believe that we have the appropriate hammer.

I would like everyone's thoughts on this. I am no expert but I think Pep is trying to solve the midfield problem that didn't exist last year. We had a false nine who would drop deep and crowd midfield when we lost the ball. That doesn't happen with Haaland. That is why, I think, he is using inverted full backs when we are out of procession. We need Keven to continue to create and he has the free role in the team, others have to cover defensively for him. I personally do not think we can play Gundo and Kevin together and maybe we do need Kelvin and Rodri in there together?
